That might be a good thing, or it might be a mess. And, of course, Microsoft is frustratingly unhelpful when it comes to explaining how this feature works.

Tesla Wants Out of the Car Business

news.ycombinator.com Patrick George 2025-10-17 12:20:06

Elon Musk still makes some of America’s best electric cars. Earlier this summer, I rented a brand-new, updated Tesla Model Y, the first refresh to the electric SUV since it debuted, in 2020. Compared with even just two years ago, when the Model Y became the world’s best-selling car, many companies make great EVs now. Some of them have the Model Y beat in certain areas, but for the price, the Tesla is still the total package. Now, imagine how good Teslas could be if Musk apparently wasn’t so bor

Meta suppressed research on child safety, employees say

At her home in western Germany, a woman told a team of visiting researchers from Meta that she did not allow her sons to interact with strangers on the social media giant’s virtual reality headsets. Then her teenage son interjected, according to two of the researchers: He frequently encountered strangers, and adults had sexually propositioned his little brother, who was younger than 10, numerous times. “I felt this deep sadness watching the mother’s response,” one of the researchers, Jason Satt

Cillian Murphy Is Flattered Everyone Thought He Would Play an Emaciated Zombie in ’28 Years Later’

As soon as the teaser trailer for 28 Years Later dropped, pretty much everyone and their mom assumed the skinny zombie seen struggling through flowers looked uncannily like Cillian Murphy’s Jim, the franchise’s original main character from director Danny Boyle and Alex Garland‘s 2002 28 Days Later.

Why Your Office Chair Should Have Lumbar Support

wired.com Luke Larsen 2025-10-17 12:00:00

Office chairs with lumbar support have been around for decades, but it has largely been relegated to high-end seats. That's no longer the case. Lumbar support is a standard feature on most office chairs these days, even budget models. Often it's included, but you may have to pay a small fee to add it on. But is having lumbar support really worth it? Unless you have perfect posture, the lumbar spine is the area in your lower back that needs help. A standard office chair may not follow the natura

Want a phone with a removable battery in 2025? I found the best options, but wait before you buy one

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-16 15:00:25

As much as we enjoy modern phone designs, there is one trend many of us wish wasn’t going away. Sadly, phones with a removable battery are a dying breed, and our options are getting very, very limited in this niche market. Phones with removable batteries are very convenient in a few ways. For starters, it makes it easy to hot swap batteries on the go, so you can carry multiple and switch them if your phone dies mid-day.

OnePlus 15’s leaked camera spec hints at higher zoom, but with a catch

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR OnePlus 15 camera leaks reveal a new focal length and aperture for the 50MP periscope telephoto lens. The new lens supposedly has a narrower f/2.8 aperture, a downgrade from the OnePlus 13’s f/2.6 aperture. Another possible leak suggests the OnePlus 15 might be cheaper due to cost-cutting measures, including a different display and the end of the Hasselblad partnership.

The iPhone 17 Air Could Use a Silicon-Carbon Battery. What Is It?

Apple has taken the second approach with caveats. Rumors suggest the iPhone 17 Air's battery capacity will sit around 2,900 mAh, a steep drop from prior iPhone models, especially at the 6.6-inch screen size. But the company is supposedly making up for it with power-saving tricks to make sure battery life remains similar to other iPhones, including Apple's more efficient C1 modem that debuted on the iPhone 16e earlier this year.
