How Prehistoric Humans Survived a Supervolcano So Big We Probably Should Have Gone Extinct

gizmodo.com Jayde N. Hirniak 2025-09-29 01:35:08

If you were lucky 74,000 years ago, you would have survived the Toba supereruption, one of the largest catastrophic events that Earth has seen in the past 2.5 million years. While the volcano is located in what’s now Indonesia, living organisms across the entire globe were potentially affected. As an archaeologist who specializes in studying volcanic eruptions of the past, I often think about how incredible it is that humans survived this extinction-level event that was over 10,000 times larger

The iPhone Air Could Trigger a Thin Phone Avalanche

The biggest announcement coming out of the iPhone 17 series' launch event earlier this week wasn't about the most powerful iPhone yet -- it was for the thinnest. At 5.6mm, or less than a quarter of an inch, the iPhone Air stole the show. And even though it was far from the first mainstream "thin phone," it may just kick off the trend in a major way in the years to come. There's a long-running sentiment in the mobile industry around Apple's impact on phone trends: Once the iPhone-maker makes a s

This Solar-Powered Dashcam Watches Your Car While You’re Off ‘Finding Yourself’ in Europe

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-09-29 05:47:14

I remember when I had a car. I was living in Queens, and avoiding tickets was an absolute nightmare—that is, until I was informed of a neighborhood cheat code. There was a street sort of near where I lived where I could just leave my car—no alternate side parking, predetermined hours, nothing. Naturally, I went straight there and parked my car and tried my best to forget that I had one until I needed it. I thought about that car every single day. Was it still there?

The Incredible Part of Meta's Next Smart Glasses Could Be on Your Wrist

A year ago I test-drove Meta's next-generation concept AR glasses, called project Orion, in a room on the company's campus in Menlo Park, California. They incorporated 3D displays and a wireless processor puck, but what wowed me was the futuristic neural wristband I wore to control them. Meta's research in EMG -- electromyography, or sensing muscle impulses via electrical signals using wearable sensors -- is becoming a reality.
