Elon Musk might have been deposed from DOGE, but the government cuts are still coming. As reported by Politico, some 2,145 high-level NASA employees are about to be launched out of the agency as efforts to cut US government spending continues. The employees represent those with G-13, G-14, and G-15 status — typically specialized or managerial roles which start around the six-figure salary range.

Galaxy Z Flip 7 fixes the biggest gripe with using Gemini on flip foldables

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-02 17:00:37

TL;DR The Galaxy Z Flip 7 now runs Google Gemini’s Android app natively on the cover screen. This is a step up from Flip 6, which could only support text-based chat with some workarounds. Gemini Live also works directly from the cover screen. The progressive increase in the Galaxy Flip’s cover screen size has also expanded its utility over time. The cover screen on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 measures 4.1 inches, occupying a larger space than the previous model’s 3.4-inch layout. This means m

On Monday, June 23, Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, one of the first young, inexperienced technologists to join Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), disappeared from the internal directory of the General Services Administration (GSA).

The Origin of the Research University

If you were alive in 1800 and someone asked you about the future of research, it wouldn’t occur to you to mention the university. Real scholarship happened in new, modern, enlightened institutions like the British Royal Society or the French Académie des sciences. Universities were a medieval relic. And nowhere was it more medieval, hidebound, and generally dysfunctional than in the German-speaking world.

Linda Yaccarino announced Wednesday she was stepping down as CEO of X in a tweet that showed no sign of bad feelings toward X owner Elon Musk. But the timing is certainly interesting after Musk’s AI chatbot Grok promoted genocidal Nazi ideas on Tuesday, praising Adolf Hitler and suggesting a second Holocaust against Jews was needed. “After two incredible years, I’ve decided to step down as CEO of X,” Yaccarino wrote in a tweet Wednesday morning that immediately got flooded with questions about

Verizon’s request to lock phones supported by police, opposed by users

With Verizon seeking permission to lock phones to its network for six months or longer instead of the current 60 days, a coalition of advocacy groups yesterday urged the Federal Communications Commission to reject the cellular carrier's petition. "Phone locking distorts market competition, raises switching costs, and contributes to unnecessary e-waste," the groups said in a filing.
