YouTube May Finally Offer a Cheaper Way to Get Rid of Ads

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-06-11 07:30:08

Folk who want to watch their multi-hour-long YouTube documentaries without an ad break every few minutes may finally have a cheaper way to do it. The Alphabet-owned streaming service has long been testing a cheaper ad-less subscription tier called YouTube Premium Lite. If the latest reports can be believed, it may come to fruition in 2025, though it probably won’t offer all the perks of the $14-a-month Premium subscription. The last time we heard about Premium Lite was in October last year. You

Musk’s Plan to Kill the ISS Early Is a Selfish, Shortsighted Move

gizmodo.com Adam Kovac 2025-06-11 07:05:34

The immediate future of the International Space Station is suddenly in doubt thanks to a single tweet. Elon Musk, owner of SpaceX and unelected advisor to President Donald Trump on basically everything, wants the venerable station gone, and he wants it gone sooner rather than later. On Thursday, Musk posted on his X platform that he believes it’s “time to begin preparations for deorbiting” the ISS. “It has served its purpose,” he declared. “There is very little incremental utility.

Apple Says ‘No’ to UK Backdoor Order, Will Disable E2E Cloud Encryption Instead

Good work, Britain. Owners of Apple devices in the United Kingdom will be a little less safe moving forward as the company pulls its most secure end-to-end (E2E) encryption from the country.

This Ethiopian Volcano Just Burped a Staggering Amount of Methane

There’s something odd happening under an Ethiopian national park. Volcanic and seismic activity were on the rise under a volcano named Mount Fentale, but the gas that began spouting out of the ground wasn’t what you’d expect from an impending eruption. Canadian greenhouse gas monitoring company GHGSat said in early February that the amount of methane being emitted from Mount Fentale is “substantial.” When GHGSat began measuring the emissions on January 31, they found that the volcano was spewin

The Next iPad Needs an iPhone 16E Moment. But Will Its Cost Go Up, Too?

Apple gave us a February surprise this year, launching a new entry-level iPhone ahead of schedule. The iPhone 16E is full of most of the things people want in an iPhone, plus hosts many features of the iPhone 16. But, while it's entry-level, it's not low-cost. As I wait for a new iPad to replace Apple's 10th-gen iPad base model, likely coming in the next month or so, I'm encouraged and concerned that Apple will follow a similar path as the 16E. Actually, it seems inevitable. But maybe I'm wrong.

OnePlus 13R vs. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE: Which Cheaper Flagship Is Best?

The $600 OnePlus 13R and the $650 Samsung Galaxy S24 FE each have a similar mission: Provide a phone that includes all the essential features of more-expensive phones by scaling back on certain hardware and software features. Ideally, this approach should get you all the essential features of the more expensive OnePlus 13 and Samsung Galaxy S24 phones, and in-turn, scale back on features that are less noticeable or important.
