The US could really use an affordable electric truck

But if anything can get Americans excited, it’s a truck, especially an affordable one. (There was a ton of buzz over the announcement of a bare-bones truck from Bezos-backed Slate Auto earlier this year, for example.) The big question is whether the company can deliver in this environment. One key thing to note here: This is not the first time that there’s been a big splashy truck announcement from Ford that was supposed to change everything. The F-150 Lightning was hailed as a turning point fo

I pried open a cheap 600W charger to test its build, and found 'goo' inside

It's easy to silkscreen 600W on the product, but can the product live up to the hype? Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET I test dozens of chargers every year. Some are excellent, while others fall short. Here on ZDNET, I only feature the cream of the crop -- the best of the best. However, I occasionally receive requests from readers asking for my thoughts or opinions on specific products. Lately, one product that's been generating a lot of buzz is this 600W GaN charger. Also: This wall charger repl

Experimental ‘Off-the-Shelf’ Cancer Vaccine Is Already Prolonging Lives, Study Suggests

An experimental “off-the-shelf” vaccine for recurring pancreatic and colorectal cancer is showing great promise so far. Early results show that the vaccine appears to be safe and is potentially prolonging people’s lives. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, and elsewhere are developing the vaccine, called ELI-002. In Phase I trial data released this week, people who received ELI-002 often developed an immune response t

TDK backs Ultraviolette with $21M to take India-made electric motorcycles global

Two months ago, Indian electric motorcycle startup Ultraviolette expanded into 10 European countries. Now, fueled with $21 million in an all-equity round led by the corporate venture arm of Japanese electronics giant TDK Corporation, Ultraviolette is putting its expansion plans into overdrive. The nine-year-old startup plans to grow its European footprint fourfold, enter other motorcycle-driven markets such as Latin America and Southeast Asia, and increase its portfolio to 14 models by early 20

AOL ends dial-up service after more than 30 years

AOL ends dial-up service after more than 30 years AOL is shutting down the dial-up service that introduced homes across the US to the internet. The firm's dial-up offering connects to the internet via a phone line and currently only exists in the US and Canada. Launched more than 30 years ago, AOL dial-up was known for its chirpy whirring start-up sound, but it has long since been replaced by faster alternatives. Fewer than 300,000 people in the US reported having only a dial-up internet con

The History of Windows XP

Microsoft is an interesting company. It is a company whose omnipresence shapes the perception of its products. By the end of the 1990s, Microsoft’s products had become part of the landscape of life. Any change to any product would stir overreaction whether it be positive or negative, and some time later, that same product would just be quotidian, and the next release would be the problem of the world or the cure to all ills. The previous release would then be the single most loved and cherished

If You Try to Sell Your Cybertruck, You Are Going to Get a Terrible Surprise

Folks who shelled out to buy Elon Musk's ugliest electric car are in for an upset should they try to sell or trade in those Cybertrucks. As flagged by Gizmodo, the CarGurus vehicle marketplace and analytics firm found that over the last year, the value of a used Cybertruck has plummeted more than 30 percent, to an average of roughly $84,000. And with recent price cuts putting the Long Range Cybertruck, Tesla's entry-level version of its matte steel monstrosity, at just under $70,000, any poten

Handsoaps Recalled Over Bacteria That Can Cause Sepsis

Four brands of soap and skin products are being recalled by their manufacturer after they were discovered to potentially be contaminated with bacteria that can cause infections, and even lead to sepsis in immunosuppressed people, according to announcements from the FDA and DermaRite Industries. The products, DermaKleen, KleenFoam, DermaSarra, and PeriGiene, have been recalled nationwide in the U.S. and Puerto Rico over the bacteria Burkholderia cepacia (spelled as cepecia in the FDA press relea

Bitcoin retakes $120,000, ether touches 2021 highs after breaking key $4,000 level

Bitcoin is a stone's throw from its all-time high after an overnight rally that also propelled ether to levels not seen since 2021. The price of bitcoin was last higher by 1% at $119,782, according to Coin Metrics. Ether was down about 1.6% at $4,181, after surging on Sunday to its highest level since December 2021. On Friday, it broke $4,000 for the first time since December. The moves took place alongside a rise in U.S. equity futures, as investors looked ahead to a batch of key inflation re

An upcoming phone could offer double the battery capacity of S25 Ultra

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR HONOR is apparently working on a smartphone with a 10,000mAh battery. This would be double the capacity of the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s battery and larger than some tablet batteries. It’s highly likely that the phone won’t offer a 10,000mAh battery if it launches in the EU. We’re seeing more and more smartphones with huge batteries thanks to silicon-carbon battery tech. HONOR recently launched the HONOR Power, which packs an 8,000mAh battery. However, it loo

Creating the Longest Possible Ski Jump in “The Games: Winter Challenge”

One of my initial questions was already answered, namely whether it’s possible to jump farther than 100 meters, a feat that I never managed as a kid.

R0ML's Ratio

My father, also known as “R0ML” once described a methodology for evaluating volume purchases that I think needs to be more popular. If you are a hardcore fan, you might know that he has already described this concept publicly in a talk at OSCON in 2005, among other places, but it has never found its way to the public Internet, so I’m giving it a home here, and in the process, appropriating some of his words. Let’s say you’re running a circus. The circus has many clowns. Ten thousand clowns, to

My DIY modular charging station

The cables crept into our lives gradually. First, we had a USB charger in our bedroom to charge my wife’s iPad or my Kindle. Then we added another near our dining table, pulling up a chair to use as a base when charging the kids’ iPad. Add in frequent visits by family and most of our available outlets have a charger coming out of it in one form or another. Aside from the fact that we now had cables all over the house, there was the annoyance of walking around the house to find a charger, only t

Telefon Hírmondó

The Telefon Hírmondó (also Telefonhírmondó, generally translated as "Telephone Herald")[1][2] was a "telephone newspaper" located in Budapest, Hungary, which, beginning in 1893, provided news and entertainment to subscribers over telephone lines. It was both the first and the longest surviving telephone newspaper system,[3] although from 1 December 1925 until its termination in 1944 it was primarily used to retransmit programmes broadcast by Magyar Rádió.[4] Three decades before the development

Ask HN: How can ChatGPT serve 700M users when I can't run one GPT-4 locally?

Sam said yesterday that chatgpt handles ~700M weekly users. Meanwhile, I can't even run a single GPT-4-class model locally without insane VRAM or painfully slow speeds. Sure, they have huge GPU clusters, but there must be more going on - model optimizations, sharding, custom hardware, clever load balancing, etc. What engineering tricks make this possible at such massive scale while keeping latency low? Curious to hear insights from people who've built large-scale ML systems.

The Anker SOLIX F3000 is my new favorite high-capacity power station for one simple reason

Anker SOLIX F3000 Portable Power Station The Anker SOLIX F3000 Portable Power Station offers high-end performance that is very similar to Anker's top-of-the-line options.

I recently got the opportunity to kit out my entire home with backup power thanks to the Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus. I loved it then, and I still love it now, but high-end power stations like

What Happens When You Fold and Unfold the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 200,000 Times?

After folding and unfolding the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 200,000 times by hand, Korean YouTube channel Tech-it found that the folding phone's redesigned hinge and thinner design couldn't withstand repeated handling. The stunt, which was livestreamed over the course of a few days, found that the phone would reboot every 6,000 to 10,000 folds. At 46,000 folds, the phone started to creak. At 75,000 folds, an unknown black liquid started to leak out of the hinge. At 175,000 folds, all speakers, incl
