Fashion resale marketplace Poshmark announced on Monday that its founder, Manish Chandra, is stepping down as CEO. Namsun Kim, who has served as executive chairman since April, has been appointed as his successor. Chandra founded Poshmark in 2011 alongside his three co-founders in a garage in Silicon Valley.

Tough, smart and ahead of her time - how Dame Stephanie changed women's role in the tech industry 3 hours ago Share Save Zoe Kleinman • @zsk Technology editor Share Save BBC To many women in tech, myself included, Dame Stephanie Shirley, who has died aged 91, was inspirational. Her pioneering and controversial decision to hire exclusively women coders and data inputters, working from home, was way ahead of its time and changed many lives. She had a difficult life, and it made her tough. She w

Crypto exchange Bullish raises IPO size, seeks nearly $5 billion valuation

Peter Thiel-backed cryptocurrency exchange Bullish raised the size of its initial public offering.

Experiment will attempt to counter climate change by altering ocean

Later this summer, a fluorescent reddish-pink spiral will bloom across the Wilkinson Basin in the Gulf of Maine, about 40 miles northeast of Cape Cod. Scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will release the nontoxic water tracer dye behind their research vessel, where it will unfurl into a half-mile wide temporary plume, bright enough to catch the attention of passing boats and even satellites. As it spreads, the researchers will track its movement to monitor a tightly control

Dame Stephanie 'Steve' Shirley, technology pioneer, dies aged 91 40 minutes ago Share Save Zoe Kleinman • @zsk Technology editor Share Save AFP via Getty Images Visionary tech pioneer and philanthropist Dame Stephanie Shirley has died at the age of 91. The boundary-breaking entrepreneur arrived in London at the age of five, just weeks before the outbreak of World War Two, and went on to become a computer industry and women's rights pioneer in the 1950s and 1960s. She founded the software comp

Over 29,000 Exchange servers unpatched against high-severity flaw

Over 29,000 Exchange servers exposed online remain unpatched against a high-severity vulnerability that can let attackers move laterally in Microsoft cloud environments, potentially leading to complete domain compromise. The security flaw (tracked as CVE-2025-53786) helps threat actors who gain administrative access to on-premises Exchange servers to escalate privileges within the organization's connected cloud environment by forging or manipulating trusted tokens or API calls, without leaving

Partially Matching Zig Enums

Partially Matching Zig Enums A short post about a neat little Zig idiom. Consider your average {sum type, variant, tagged union, enum, alt}: enum U { A ( i32 ), B ( i32 ), C, } Usually, you handle it like this: match u { U:: A (_) => handle_a (), U:: B (_) => handle_b (), U::C => handle_c (), } But once in a while, there’s common handling code you want to run for several variants. The most straightforward way is to duplicate: match u { U:: A (_) => { handle_ab (); handle_a (); } U:: B (_)

LATAM adds support for AirTag luggage tracking via Apple’s Share Item Location

Last month, we reported that, with Saudia now supporting the AirTag luggage tracking program, the official list of supported airlines had grown to 30 globally. Now, Latin America’s largest carrier is also joining in. As reported this week by Folha (via MacMagazine), LATAM, the largest airline group in Latin America, has started supporting AirTag location sharing for passengers on flights within Brazil and across South America. Starting now, customers whose bags are delayed or missing can gener

The First Xbox Handheld Could Be Coming Sooner Than You Think

Microsoft may be ready to announce an official release date for its long-awaited Xbox handheld (or at least, the one that’s not actually being made by Xbox). The most recent reliable leaks suggest the Asus ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X will hit the scene in October, with Microsoft planning to share pricing and preorder info later this month. The end of the year is shaping up to be open season for handheld PCs, though I’m still biting my bottom lip to get used to the sting of what may be very expensiv

Samsung’s AI photo editor now lets you fake DSLR shots with a tap

2025 Porsche Panamera Turbo S: A different approach to a luxury sedan

REIDEN, Germany—There is a lot to be said for testing a car on the roads it was developed on. A Kei car, for example, makes more sense in downtown Tokyo than on one of Nashville's arterial highways, surrounded by construction trucks. Likewise the German supersedans. For decades, an arms race has been conducted between rival engineers in Munich, Ingolstadt, Stuttgart, and Zuffenhausen, each trying to best the others and build the ultimate four-door, four-wheel Autobahn crusher, fit for the fattes

The greenhouse gases we’re not accounting for

Researchers around the world set to work unraveling the mystery, reviewing readings from satellites, aircraft, and greenhouse-gas monitoring stations. They eventually spotted a clear pattern: Methane emissions had increased sharply across the tropics, where wetlands were growing wetter and warmer. That created the ideal conditions for microbes that thrive in anaerobic muck, which gobbled up more of the carbon-rich organic matter and spat out more methane as a by-product. (Reduced pollution from

Sonos confirms tariffs will increase its prices this year

Conrad: With respect to our operations, like many companies, the most significant near-term challenge has been the uncertain tariff environment. As a reminder short of a few accessories, and our passive speaker partnership with Sonance (I think this is what he said?) we do all of our us-bound manufacturing in Vietnam and Malaysia. We talked last quarter about the contingency planning we underwent to minimize the effects of terrorists on our business, while also doing what we can to limit the d

Want a four-channel dashcam for less than $200? I recommend this one

Botslab G980H Multi-Channel Dashcam The BOTSLAB G980H Multi-Channel Dashcam is a reliable four-channel dashcam for your road trips and commutes. It has a crisp 3K front cam, separate shooters for the driver and passenger, and a rear cam. It has some quirks, but for the price, it is a good option for capturing evidence and fun clips on the road. Dashcams are the type of products you hope you will never need, but they can be lifesavers when they do their job. It’s a solid investment if you want s

Best Sports Streaming Service for 2025

Choose a subscription that aligns with your budget, and when considering costs, review the channel selection, RSN av

'Freakier Friday' Review: Disney's Body-Swapping Sequel Really Rocks

For me, watching Freakier Friday -- the new sequel to the 2003 body-switch comedy starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis -- led to a change in perspective: I was now a fan of two Freaky Friday movies headlined by Lohan and Curtis. From Curtis' nostalgic and still-hilarious portrayal of waking up as a 15-year-old inhabiting her step-grandmother's body to entertaining scenes with a job-switching fortune teller (Saturday Night Live alum Vanessa Bayer), the sequel offers wacky and laugh-out-lo

This Gaming Handheld’s External Battery Isn’t as Dumb as You Think

As we’re waiting for the ROG Xbox Ally and the next generation of slightly more powerful gaming handhelds to hit the scene, I’m stuck thinking about where portable gaming could go if designers got a little weirder with it. China-based company GPD, known for offering off-kilter laptops that straddle a business and gamer lifestyle, has a handheld PC that’s equal parts enticing and ludicrous. It’s the battery, of all things, that makes the device stand out, literally. The GPD Win 5 handheld PC bea

Some AI tools don’t understand biology yet

Underwhelming performance The task in this case is predicting how gene activity might change when genes are altered. When an individual gene is lost or activated, it's possible that the only messenger RNA that is altered is the one made by that gene. But some genes encode proteins that regulate a collection of other genes, in which case you might see changes in the activity of dozens of genes. In other cases, the loss or activation of a gene could affect a cell's metabolism, resulting in widesp

The smallest change in the latest iOS 26 beta should be a guiding principle for Apple

We yesterday highlighted what is quite possibly the smallest user-facing change in the latest iOS 26 beta: the ability to revert the camera app slider to its previous direction. While this is in itself a very tiny change, I do think it ought to be a guiding principle for Apple’s approach to user interfaces … To me, there are two different ways in which you can judge a user interface. The first is how intuitive it is. In other words, can you immediately see how to perform a function even if yo
