gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-11-18 16:45:56

The Wheel of Time is preparing to crank back up again, with the first three episodes arriving March 13 on Prime Video; like seasons one and two, it’ll run eight episodes, with a weekly drop after the premiere through April 17. That mini-binge may be enough to plunge you back into Robert Jordan’s world (after yesterday’s amuse-bouche: the limited-time early release of the season’s fiery first 11 minutes), but if you need a reminder of where season two left off, io9’s got you covered.

The FBI and local police are investigating after gunshots shattered windows at a Tesla dealership in Oregon on Wednesday morning—the latest potential sign that Tesla’s CEO, billionaire-turned-“bureaucrat” Elon Musk, is stirring discontent throughout the nation. The dealership, which is located in the state’s capital city of Salem, was struck by gunfire and a car was lit on fire. Police at the scene said they were investigating arson and vandalism crimes.

U.S. Government Removing EV Chargers From All Federal Buildings Because They Are ‘Not Mission-Critical’

gizmodo.com Thomas Maxwell 2025-11-18 18:05:44

As part of its continued efforts to own the libs, or get rid of anything President Trump does not like or understand, the General Services Administration is gearing up to remove electric chargers from all federal properties nationwide. The agency says the hundreds of chargers and estimated 8,000 plugs available for federal workers to charge their cars are “not mission critical.” The agency, which manages buildings owned by the federal government as well as vehicles, will also offload any EVs pur

Somehow, This Han Solo JPG Is Still Worth $120

Ten years ago, I wrote an article for this site called “How the Hell Is This JPG of Han Solo Worth $225?” The article was about a new app from the card company Topps called Star Wars Card Trader in which fans could open packs and trade digital cards from a galaxy far, far away. At the time, it was novel and weird. This was before NFTs were a thing. Before most people had even heard of crypto.

Theragun Alternatives: Best Budget Massage Guns for 2025

cnet.com James Bricknell 2025-11-18 17:39:00

Like Therabody, Hyperice is a premium brand with prices to match. And speaking of matching, the Hypervolt Go sells for around the same price as the Theragun Mini. But I like the former more, in part because it comes with two heads instead of one massage gun head and has a more comfortable gun-style design. It's a compact massage gun when compared to the likes of the MaxKare and Taotronics models, but also larger than the Naipo and Recoverfun. So let's call it "medium." But, wow, is it powerful

The 'E' in iPhone 16E Might As Well Stand for Expensive

Apple has unveiled its newest phone, the iPhone 16E, and promptly removed its budget iPhone SE (2022) from its online store. While that suggests Apple sees its new phone as a follow-up to its only affordable option, its $600 price tag means it's more of a discounted premium handset than a true budget pick. But I hold out hope. I'm an iPhone SE truther: I believe the affordable phone space is too valuable for Apple to give up. The iPhone 16E inhabits a mid-range role that had been missing for a

Best Compression Socks for 2025

Many compression socks look basic and utilitarian, but some companies make business-casual or whimsical styles, too. Consider what material and length would be most comfortable for you. Mild to moderate compression is enough for most daily needs, but you may need firmer compression for recovery, varicose veins or other uses. One of the most common ways to avoid leg pain from cramps and reduce fluid buildup for athletes and people with circulation issues is to wear compression stockings. These

“Bouncing” winds damaged Houston skyscrapers in 2024

On May 16, 2024, a powerful derecho swept through Houston, killing seven people and causing significant damage to several of the city's towering skyscrapers. Those buildings were constructed to withstand much stronger hurricane-force winds up to 67 meters per second, as one would get with a Category 4 hurricane. The derecho's winds peaked at 40 meters per second, well below that threshold. And when Hurricane Beryl hit Houston that July with roughly comparable wind speeds of 36 meters per second,

Researchers figure out how to get fresh lithium into batteries

As the owner of a 3-year-old laptop, I feel the finite lifespan of lithium batteries acutely. It's still a great machine, but the cost of a battery replacement would take me a significant way down the path of upgrading to a newer, even greater machine. If only there were some way to just plug it in overnight and come back to a rejuvenated battery. While that sounds like science fiction, a team of Chinese researchers has identified a chemical that can deliver fresh lithium to well-used batteries

Under new bill, Bigfoot could become California’s “official cryptid”

You might suspect that a one-line bill about Bigfoot that bears the number "666" is a joke, but AB-666 is apparently a serious offering from California Assemblymember Chris Rogers. Rogers represents a California district known for its Bigfoot sightings (or "sightings," depending on your persuasion—many of these have been faked), and he wants to make Bigfoot the "official cryptid" of the state.
