The best Labor Day sales you can still get today from Apple, Dyson, Sony and others

Labor Day may bring about the unofficial end to summer, but on the bright side, it can be a good time to save on tech. While seasonal holidays like Memorial Day and Labor Day aren’t the boon for tech deals as Prime Day or Black Friday can be, you can still find some good deals across the web. That’s particularly true if you’re going back to school soon, or are shopping for someone imminently heading back to campus. Labor Day itself may have come and gone, but that's not the case for its corre

Quirks of Common Lisp Types

By Colin on 2025-08-30 "But I need types," he told me. Humans have a tendency toward binary thinking (pardon the pun). If it's not A, it's B. Perhaps because Lisps have REPLs, they are often thought of from the outside as being dynamic, interpreted languages. Our years of Python have taught us that such languages don't really have strong typing - it's all a wild guess until the interpreter calls foo on a and b and we find out who everyone really is. Yet Common Lisp is fully typed, and AOT com

Jaguar Land Rover production severely hit by cyber-attack

Jaguar Land Rover production severely hit by cyber-attack Jaguar Land Rover says a cyber-attack has "severely disrupted" vehicle production as well as its retail operation. The firm, which is owned by India's Tata Motors, says it took immediate action to lessen the effect of the hack and is working quickly to restart operations. There was no evidence any customer data had been stolen, it said. The attack began on Sunday and comes at a significant time for UK car sales, as the latest batch of

Samsung’s trifold might be launching pretty soon

We know officially that Samsung is planning to launch its first trifold phone this year, and recent rumors suggest that might mean either this month or next. Just don’t expect it to appear at this week’s Unpacked event, which promises products ranging from “premium AI tablets to the newest member of the Galaxy S25 family.” Korea’s ET News reports today that the new foldable could be unveiled as early as this month, with the phone actually on sale in November. That launch sounds pretty limited t

One UI 8 on Galaxy S23 feels incomplete without this highlight feature

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung started the One UI 8 beta for the Galaxy S23 yesterday.

After first announcing One UI 8 with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 back in July, Samsung is expected to bring it to other fla

Hungry Worms Could Help Solve Plastic Pollution

Plastics that support modern life are inexpensive, strong, and versatile, but are difficult to dispose of and have a serious impact when released into the environment. Polyethylene, in particular, is the most widely produced plastic in the world, with more than 100 million tons distributed annually. Since it can take decades to decompose—and along the way can harm wildlife and degrade into harmful microplastics—its disposal is an urgent issue for mankind. In 2017, European researchers discovere

YouTube is coming for your shared Premium account, just like Netflix did

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube seems to be cracking down on Premium Family plan members who don’t live in the same household as the plan manager. Users are reportedly receiving warning emails that their Premium access will be paused if they fail YouTube’s location-based check-in. This mirrors location-based password-sharing crackdowns by Netflix and other major streaming services. If you’ve been freeloading on a YouTube Premium Family plan from outside the “family home,” t

LayerX uses AI to cut enterprise back-office workload, scores $100M in Series B

Aging demographics, labor shortages, the adoption of GenAI, and the 2023 implementation of e-invoicing are driving companies to automate finance, tax, procurement, and HR in Japan. Yet only 16% of digital transformations succeed, and that’s only 4–11% in traditional industries. The main barriers? Weak leadership commitment, a rigid culture, and a lack of digital talent.

Rumor: AirPods Pro 3 features may not all arrive at launch

Heart rate sensing has long been rumored, and after appearing on Beats Powerbeats Pro 2, the feature addition has been a lock.

Desert Graves (2021)

Arizona is an interesting place. Even today, there is much remote country, and as I’ve wandered through its deserts and forests (yes, we have forests!), I have been surprised by how many times I’ve come across cemeteries and graves in the most out-of-the-way and unexpected places. I did a survey of place names on Arizona’s topographical maps and found a total of 147 named cemeteries, but I also found 9 places where there was just a “grave” or “graves” shown (I know there are many more than that,
