Edward Burtynsky's monumental chronicle of the human impact on the planet

If there was one absence in Burtynsky’s account of our time, however, it was the single greatest result of all that mining, burning, and consuming: the transformation of the atmosphere. Nothing else comes close in scale to the chemical disruption of the air—the flood of CO 2 now rapidly overheating the Earth and producing a series of changes so titanic they dwarf even the forces that these photos depict. But carbon dioxide is invisible, which is a problem for photographers. That’s why in some w

Jack Dorsey’s New App Just Hit a Very Embarrassing Snag

Serial entrepreneur Jack Dorsey, who cofounded Twitter, Block, and Bluesky, has started yet another new app — and this one's got an embarrassing secret. As TechCrunch reports, Dorsey's new open source messaging app, Bitchat, is supposed to be decentralized, private, and secure. There's only one problem: the Bluetooth-based app, by the venture's admission, is probably lacking in that key regard.

The Best Co-op Games for Every Situation

Cooperative play is intrinsic to gaming. Some of my earliest (and best) gaming memories are of hours-long gaming sessions with friends. There's a reason why Hazelight Studios' Split Fiction and It Takes Two were so well received -- people love playing games with others. Bonus points if you don't need two copies of the game, or can do so from the same couch.

How passkeys work: Going passwordless with public key cryptography

Vitalii Gulenok/Getty Images For the last five years, the FIDO Alliance -- led by Apple, Microsoft, and Google (with other companies in tow) -- has been blazing a trail toward a future where passwords are no longer necessary in order to login to our favorite websites and apps. This so-called passwordless future is based on a new form of login credential known as the passkey, which itself is largely based on another technology -- public key cryptography -- that's been around for decades.
