Just 4 days left to exhibit at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 — 10 tables remain

The clock is ticking, and exhibit space at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 is filling up fast.

No last-minute add-ons. Disrupt draws over 10,000 startup and VC leaders, and the exhibit floor is where some of the biggest conversations begin. If you’ve got a killer product, a bold vision, or early traction, and

The best Labor Day sales you can still get today from Apple, Dyson, Sony and others

Labor Day may bring about the unofficial end to summer, but on the bright side, it can be a good time to save on tech. While seasonal holidays like Memorial Day and Labor Day aren’t the boon for tech deals as Prime Day or Black Friday can be, you can still find some good deals across the web. That’s particularly true if you’re going back to school soon, or are shopping for someone imminently heading back to campus. Labor Day itself may have come and gone, but that's not the case for its corre

Notes on Managing ADHD

The pleasure is in foreseeing it, not in bringing it to term. — Jorge Luis Borges, Selected Non-Fictions This post is about managing ADHD. It is divided into two sections: “Strategies” describes the high-level control system, “Tactics” is a list of micro-level improvements (really it should be called “stratagems”, since most are essentially about tricking yourself). Contents Strategies High-level advice, control systems. Chemistry First ADHD has a biological cause and drugs are the first-l

Your 2025 NFL Sunday Ticket Packages, Explained

Nvidia CEO Says AI Will Actually Make Us Busier in the Future

Elon Musk recently insisted that our robot-filled future will allow humans to collect free money for doing nothing, while bots do all the labor. But Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang doesn’t seem to be buying that narrative. In fact, Huang seems to think advancements in AI and robotics are going to mean that humans will be busier than ever in the world of tomorrow. Huang appeared on Fox Business on Thursday, where he talked about the controversy surrounding selling chips to China, Nvidia’s success as a $

Today’s game consoles are historically overpriced

Today's video game consoles are hundreds of dollars more expensive than you'd expect based on historic pricing trends. That's according to an Ars Technica analysis of decades of pricing data and price-cut timing across dozens of major US console releases. The overall direction of this trend has been apparent to industry watchers for a while now. Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have failed to cut their console prices in recent years and have instead been increasing the nominal MSRP for many curren

Don’t Worry, ‘Wednesday’ Fans, the Coma Is Almost Over

The Wednesday hype might seemingly be waning, but it’s worth noting that perhaps the Tim Burton series could just be experiencing a lull thanks to its strange release schedule. With season two part one’s debut going from the top of the streamer’s charts to dropping 50%, according to What’s on Netflix, this might just be a sign that fans are eagerly awaiting to binge the season in full. One of our criticisms of the staggered summer and fall releases was that despite this season being the best ye
