I am exploring options for a headless CMS for a community website where a non technical admin will post details about events in the community like a meeting or volunteering done by the community. They don't have funding. What is the cheapest option out there?
Fact: the iPad launched 15 years ago in 2010. Steve Jobs famously made himself comfortable in a leather armchair and then proceeded to show everybody how “magical” the iPad was for browsing the web, looking at photos, and—yes—checking Facebook. Also fact: Instagram launched months later that fall, two years before Mark Zuckerberg would cut the app’s founders, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, a fat check for $1 billion. In the decade and a half since establishing itself as the go-to place to share
It’s not IFA 2025 related, but Google is cooking something up for next month on Oct. 1. In a post on X, the official Made by Google account wrote, “Gemini is coming to Google Home,” suggesting that there’s new AI-powered hardware on the horizon. The post shows what appears to be a new Nest Cam. Likely, the one that Android Headlines leaked last week. The link has since been removed, but the reblogs exist on sites like 9to5Google. Is that you, Gemini? Come in and make yourself at Home 🏠 Sign up
When I saw the title for the fifth episode of Alien: Earth, it seemed too good to be true. Could the episode actually live up to the implications of its title? Were we about to get a brand-new, full-fledged Alien movie in the comfort of our home? Thankfully, the answer to both those questions is “Yes.” The fifth episode of Alien: Earth saw creator Noah Hawley deliver his own version of an Alien movie in the confines of his show, and it was familiar, fascinating, and fraught with tension. Let’s d
Apple debuted the iconic and now wildly popular iPad in 2010. A few months later, Instagram landed on the App Store to rapid success. But for 15 years, Instagram hasn't bothered to optimize its app layout for the iPad's larger screen. That's finally changing today: There's now a dedicated Instagram iPad app available globally on the App Store. It has been a long time coming. Even before Apple began splitting its mobile operating system from iOS into iOS and iPadOS, countless apps adopted a fre

After years of people constantly nudging Instagram about releasing an iPad app, the social network is finally launching one today. This means users will no longer need to use the iPhone app, which is not optimized for larger screens, or Instagram for web on the iPad. The new app defaults to the Reels screen, allowing you to scroll up and watch short videos on a larger screen. The iPad app has nearly all the features of the phone app when it comes to consumption. Stories appear at the top of th

Amogh Chaturvedi is running on little sleep but plenty of conviction at 6 a.m. He’s groggy, apologetic for rescheduling, and still reeling from a recent scare involving a family member and an electric scooter.

Launched just a few months ago, Human Behaviour is bettin
Alphabet shares rose 9% on Wednesday as investors viewed the result of Google's antitrust case as broadly favorable to the tech giant. The U.S. Department of Justice had proposed a sort of break-up of Google, which included divesting its Chrome browser, in an antitrust case that began in September 2023. While Google was found to hold an illegal monopoly in its core market of internet search last year, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ruled against the most severe consequences that were proposed
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Wednesday criticized the Trump administration's decision to take a 10% stake in embattled chipmaker Intel , calling the investment "a step towards socialism." Intel announced last month that the U.S. government made an $8.9 billion investment in Intel common stock, purchasing 433.3 million shares at a price of $20.47 per share, giving it a 10% stake in the company. Intel noted that the price the government paid was a discount to the current market price. Rand said gov
When I moved in with my wife Laura in 2005, we lived in a shared apartment in Barcelona that had an ancient washing machine that was just there already, no idea who initially bought it. I managed to break the washing machine door's closing mechanism some time in 2006, so for a few weeks, whenever we did the washing, we had to lean a chair against the door so it wouldn't open. At the time, we were both students and living on a small budget. Eventually, later in the same year, we bought an Electr

Ask any reMarkable E Ink tablet owner, and they will effuse about the mostly glare-free paper-like screen, many document templates, and notetaking experience that nearly mimics writing with pen and paper. People just adore their reMarkable devices. For the e-paper device maker’s next act, it’s going smaller with the Paper Pro Move, a more pocketable version of its Paper Pro color E Ink tablet with a smaller 7.3-inch display. Priced at $449 and available today, Sept. 3, the Paper Pro Move has di
Catchy songs have been around as long as there's been music, but it's still a mystery makes a song stick in our minds. I recently chaperoned the all-night graduation party at my daughter's high school. After hanging out at an all-games-and-rides-free arcade until 2 a.m., we took the graduates on chartered buses to a private all-ages nightclub in downtown Seattle. It boasted free unlimited fountain soda and snacks, a photo booth with props, a trivia contest, glow necklaces and, best of all, a da

Startups don’t build themselves, and the Builders Stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 — taking place October 27–29 at San Francisco’s Moscone West — is where founders, operators, and investors get real about what it actually takes. This stage is all tactics, the nitty-gritty of turning an idea into a business that works.

Time is running out to showcase your startup in front of the most influential eyes in tech. In just 3 days, the exhibitor table deadline closes for TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 in San Francisco.

It’s the beating heart of the startup world — where founders launch, investors scout, and media take notice.

Gemini for Home will replace Google Assistant and enable natural language commands plus easier-to use controls. For instan
Apple's Assault on Standards Will we notice? And what can be done? TL;DR: Market competition underlies the enterprise of standards. It creates the only functional test of designs and functions as a pressure release valve that enables standards-based ecosystems route around single-vendor damage. Without competition, standards bodies have no purpose, and neither they, nor the ecosystems they support, can retain relevance. Apple has poisoned the well through a monopoly on influence which it has pa
Invites to Perplexity’s new AI-powered web browser, Comet, are one of the web’s hottest commodities these days.
