Instagram adds a reposts feed and rips off Snap Maps

theverge.com Mia Sato 2025-12-05 08:00:00

Instagram is getting several new features that pull from competitors, and it’s updating a controversial feature that it added earlier this year. Starting today, users will have the ability to repost public Reels and grid posts from other accounts. And similar to TikTok, reposts will be collected in a designated tab on your profile and sprinkled into the feeds of people who follow you. It’s a small but meaningful shift from how Instagram currently operates: until now, the most efficient way to s

Twist on Famous Double-Slit Experiment Deals a Blow to Einstein’s Quantum Doubts

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-12-12 17:25:03

Albert Einstein famously disliked quantum theory’s understanding that physical objects, including light, exist as both a particle and a wave, and that this duality could not be simultaneously observed. But a new, simple iteration of a foundational quantum experiment offers the most conclusive, direct evidence yet that Einstein may have been wrong. In a recent paper for Physical Review Letters, MIT scientists successfully replicated the double-slit experiment on the atomic scale, allowing for an

Like the world’s strangest West Side Story spinoff, the China-based camera companies DJI and Insta360 are muscling in on each other’s turf. While Insta360 plans to share details about an upcoming “immersive” drone, DJI now plans to offer a 360 camera that is taking direct aim at Insta’s bread and butter.

The company dug into its deep engineering toolkit in an effort to one-up the competition with features like a new sensor design, up to 8K 50 fps 10-bit log recording and a smaller, lighter body.

Professional Chefs Beg: Don't Buy These 20 Pointless Kitchen Gadgets

As long as we have kitchens, brands will continue to pump out tools. Many are essential, while others just collect dust or don't perform their duties any better than a great knife or pair of kitchen shears.
