Just weeks after Google said it would review its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, the Google for Startups Founders Fund webpage is peppered with changes. Most notably Google is now using past tense to describe all of its fund programs for underrepresented founders. This is a change that took place after December, according to the internet archives. And the site currently says that there are zero fund programs available. Google’s Startup Founders Fund launched in 2020 to provide monet

While plenty of confusion remains over the fate of over 1,000 NASA employees who were put on the chopping block by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency last month — only to be told that they weren't being fired after all — the space agency may still be in for a rude awakening. As Ars Technica's Eric Berger reports, the Trump administration is expected to slash the space agency's science budget by as much as 50 percent, which could prove disastrous for the future

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Usually, when my friends hype up Apple’s iMessage, all they care about is showing up as blue bubbles on each other’s screens. And, for most people, that’s good enough — they want to include all of their iPhone-carrying friends in the same group chats, ignoring that RCS now makes pretty much every group chat feel the same, whether green or blue.

TL;DR Android Auto’s latest beta contains currently unused text strings referencing vehicle climate controls. Currently, Android Auto does not offer any way to directly adjust in-vehicle climate settings. The initial references are rather sparse, and it’s not at all yet clear how this could fit into the system’s UI.
