“Is Qonto a real bank?” is one of the top suggested questions in Google searches about the French fintech startup. The answer is no, but it could change: Qonto has filed for a banking license in France, CEO Alexandre Prot revealed. Qonto, which targets European freelancers and SMBs, currently operates with a payment institution license it obtained in 2018, and which already enabled it to introduce a form of buy now, pay later (BNPL). But a credit institution license would let it offer broader l

Tesla’s struggles continue as the company reports another drop in vehicle deliveries, deepening concerns that its image problem, especially in Europe, is weighing heavily on consumer demand. In the second quarter of 2025, the electric vehicle giant delivered 443,956 vehicles, a 13.5 percent decline from the same period in 2024. Deliveries are Tesla’s key sales metric and are closely watched by investors and analysts alike. Nearly all of those deliveries — 97.3 percent — were for the company’s t
Satellites like the ones used for Starlink's internet service could be depleting the Earth's ozone layer when they're deorbited, according to a study funded by NASA and published in Geophysical Research Letters in June. 2024. When Starlink's satellites reach the end of their lives, they burn up in the Earth's atmosphere and leave behind small particles of aluminum oxide. These travel down into the ozone layer, which absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation. Researchers from the University of South
It took a minute, but Apple has at last activated its official Threads account. And thanks to its massive Instagram presence, it instantly picked up nearly 5 million followers. Today’s move comes well after several Apple-related accounts joined Instagram’s alternative to X right out of the gate. Apple Music, Apple News, Apple Books, Shazam, and Beats by Dre were among the first to show up shortly after Threads launched in mid-2023, but the main @apple account remained absent until now.

It's nearly the end of the road for Warcraft Rumble. Blizzard has announced that it will no longer be developing new content for the free-to-play mobile strategy game, and instead focus on "regular, systemic in-game events and bug fixes." The change comes as the rest of Microsoft's business is in upheaval: The company is laying off as many as 9,000 employees across its global workforce. Blizzard's statement doesn't get into the details of what motivated the decision, but is clear that Warcraft
WASHINGTON (AP) — Websites that displayed legally mandated U.S. national climate assessments seem to have disappeared, making it harder for state and local governments and the public to learn what to expect in their backyards from a warming world. Scientists said the peer-reviewed authoritative reports save money and lives. Websites for the national assessments and the U.S. Global Change Research Program were down Monday and Tuesday with no links, notes or referrals elsewhere. The White House,
Keeping your house cool during the summer can be tough. Maybe you don’t have central air. Or maybe your family insists that you keep the thermostat higher than what’s normally to your liking. Whatever the case may be, now that the warmer months are here, you might want to cool things down a bit. And the temperature can be hard to bring down when you don’t have a lot of options. Luckily, a fan can be just the soothing balm you need to stop dealing with sweaty nights and frustrating days. And this
Imagine being able to send a text, video or voice recording from the remotest corners of the country. That's the future T-Mobile envisions, as its partnership with SpaceX’s Starlink satellite service gets ready to launch on July 23. The alliance will provide direct-to-cell messaging service, called T-Satellite, which will also be available to AT&T and Verizon cellphone customers. T-Mobile says its goal is to “eliminate mobile dead zones for good” by utilizing 657 Starlink satellites that will b
According to a filing with the Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday, 472 Starlink satellites burned up in the atmosphere between December 2024 and May 2025, as SpaceX deorbited around 6% of its active fleet. Starlink satellites are built to last around five years. After that, they're steered into the Earth's atmosphere to burn up. SpaceX, the rocket company owned by Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk, launched the first Starlink satellites in 2019, which means we're now seeing its first full-sca

Microsoft’s layoff of roughly 9,000 employees is continuing to have downstream effects at the company’s subsidiaries.

Over the past year, Substack has considerably expanded its video tools for creators, evolving from a platform primarily dedicated to newsletters. On Wednesday, Substack announced new features aimed at helping publishers grow and promote their livestreams. The recent update enables creators to share clips of their live videos on Notes, and Substack will notify them in real time about the performance. This way, publishers can determine which clips they should upload to other platforms, such as Yo
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Verizon is offering $1,000 off any device on a myPlan account — including entry-level plans — without a trade-in, but you must add a new BYOD line and claim the offer in-store. The new line is free for 36 months, but you’ll still pay around $7–$10 a month in taxes and fees. The deal is a great fit for those who need both a device upgrade and a new line that can be used with their old device, but may not make sense if you have no use for an extra line.
Apple has a new Liquid Glass design coming to iOS 26, macOS 26, and every other software platform. And whether you love it, hate it, or are indifferent, Apple’s new design seems like a major win in several key ways. Software redesigns are risky, but Apple accepted the challenge Whenever software gets redesigned, it’s a risky move. Apple knows that from last year’s big Photos app revamp, which many users were not a fan of. Because of the risks associated with big changes, I wasn’t sure we wou

The term “monad” is often invoked when describing patterns in functional programming. Yet explanations typically swing between high-level metaphors and deep mathematical abstractions. Each approach offers part of the picture, intuition without precision, or rigor without intuition but seldom both. Monads can be idealized as a container (albeit is a flawed metaphor) or context holding a value (or multiple values, or no value), but in some cases we will get into later on it’s better to think of i

Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse in 2023 left a hole in the tech industry. For years, the bank poured money into the Bay Area’s riskier startups, allowing those companies to pursue their various “disruptive” aims. Eventually, mismanagement led that business model to collapse. Now, billionaire Palantir founder Peter Thiel and several of his pals want to fill the void left by SVB by launching their own bank dedicated to backing the industry’s riskier bets. Multiple outlets have reported that the ne

Artificial intelligence chatbots are known for regularly offering dubious information and hallucinated details, making them terrible prospects for the role of fact-checker. And yet, Elon Musk’s X (née Twitter) plans to deploy AI agents to help fill in the gaps on the notoriously slow-reacting Community Notes, with the AI-generated notes appearing as soon as this month. What could possibly go wrong? The new model will allow developers to submit AI agents to be reviewed by the company, according
I was home working upstairs when a loud thud in the backyard startled me. I guessed it was an enthusiastically dropped package, but I couldn't have imagined the full scope of the incident that originated the noise. After I made my way downstairs to investigate, I found the double chain link gate on the side of my house had been kicked in by an Amazon delivery driver seemingly unable to figure out the simple butterfly latch. The brute force entry busted the gate's wooden frame, necessitating a r
A former SpaceX security manager, who was privy to top secret information on U.S. government programs, is suing the company and one of its senior employees for alleged discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation. Jenna Shumway, who was promoted to senior contractor program security officer after being hired in 2022, also alleges the senior employee — Daniel Collins, a former Defense Department official hired to run security compliance for the company’s government work — violated top secr
Referrals from ChatGPT to news publishers are growing, but not enough to counter the decline in clicks resulting from users increasingly getting their news directly from AI or AI-powered search results, according to a report from digital market intelligence company Similarweb. Since the launch of Google’s AI Overviews in May 2024, the firm found that the number of news searches on the web that result in no click-throughs to news websites has grown from 56% to nearly 69% as of May 2025.
