I tried Arc browser’s smarter sibling so you don’t have to — but you might want to

Karandeep Singh / Android Authority No other browser developer is making as much of a buzz in the tech community as The Browser Company, the makers of Arc. While Arc was one of the most offbeat web browsers I’ve used (and stuck to!) in a long time, it didn’t garner the widespread appeal the company had hoped for. That’s why it has now switched gears to Dia — a web browser built from the ground up around generative AI. It integrates deep into your workflow, intelligently talks to your open tabs,

Recycled Polyester Saved This American Factory. Environmentalists Hate It

In the bottle processing plant in Reidsville, North Carolina, drifts of plastic particles, like snow banks, are piled in every nook of the machinery that chops the bottles into flake. When I ask our tour guide, a floor manager, if he worries about breathing it in, he says he doesn't. "We do a good job of cleaning it up," he says, adding that the bags of dust that are vacuumed up are sold off, and the wastewater is filtered. But I’m concerned. A 2023 study of a UK plastics recycling plant found

The Tandy Corporation

In 1919, a small leather company was founded in Fort Worth by David Lewis Tandy and Norton Hinckley. The Hinckley-Tandy Leather Company specialized in leather show laces, shoe soles, leather and rubber heels, and other shoe-findings. Tandy focused on sales and marketing while Hinckley managed the internal business operations and inventory. The company did well, bought a larger location in 1923 and expanded to Beaumont in 1927. The company scaled back during the Depression, but they survived. Ch

The X Window System didn't immediately have X terminals

For a while, X terminals were a reasonably popular way to give people comparatively inexpensive X desktops. These X terminals relied on X's network transparency so that only the X server had to run on the X terminal itself, with all of your terminal windows and other programs running on a server somewhere and just displaying on the X terminal. For a long time, using a big server and a lab full of X terminals was significantly cheaper than setting up a lab full of actual workstations (until inexp

SMB-focused Finom closes €115M as European fintech heats up

Bitcoin briefly sinks below $99,000 as U.S. strikes on Iran trigger crypto market sell-off

Bitcoin fell to its lowest level since May over the weekend, as rising tensions in the Middle East and renewed inflation fears triggered a sharp selloff across digital assets. Bitcoin dropped below the $99,000 mark on Sunday — its lowest point in more than a month — and ether was more than 10% lower at one point, as the digital asset market became the first to react to escalating geopolitical risk. Solana , XRP , and dogecoin also posted sharp losses, dragging the entire crypto complex deep int

Long-Dead NASA Satellite Suddenly Lets Out Epic Blast of Energy

NASA's experimental Relay 2 satellite had been dead in the sky since 1967 — until last summer, when it emitted a super-short and very powerful burst of energy out of nowhere. In an interview with New Scientist, one of the researchers from Australia's Curtin University who discovered the strange pulse coming off the dead communications satellite described his shock at finding the nearby source of that nanosecond-long energy blast. Curtin astronomer Clancy James and his team had been using the A

‘Tron: Ares’ is Disney’s Big Hall H Movie for San Diego Comic-Con

Marvel may be skipping San Diego Comic-Con’s famous Hall H panel this year, but Disney’s reportedly got Tron: Ares showing up in its stead. According to TheWrap, the sci-fi sequel will get a panel during the annual pop culture convention. That would be noteworthy on its own, but it takes on further significance owing to its lead star, Jared Leto, who plays the titular Ares program. In early June, AirMail published a report wherein multiple women accused the Morbius and House of Gucci actor of i

LinkedIn CEO says AI writing assistant is not as popular as expected

In Brief While LinkedIn users seem to have embraced AI, there’s one area that’s seen less uptake than expected, according to CEO Ryan Roslansky: AI-generated suggestions for polishing your LinkedIn posts. “It’s not as popular as I thought it would be, quite frankly,” Roslansky told Bloomberg. When asked why, he argued that the “barrier is much higher” to posting on LinkedIn, because “this is your resume online.” Plus, users can face real backlash if they post something that’s too obviously gen
