Tesla's robotaxi debut will reportedly be limited to only 10 cars in very specific areas

The long-promised launch of Tesla's robotaxi service in Austin is scheduled for June 22, and it sounds like the company's initial offering will be modest at best. The Financial Times writes that Tesla will only have around 10 cars available for rides and that the company plans to make them "avoid the city’s most challenging intersections." If issues arise, remote operators will also reportedly be able to take control of the cars to make sure they reach their final destination. Tesla CEO Elon Mu

What Do Your Poops Mean? Experts Share What You Can Learn From Your Bowel Movements

Nobody enjoys talking about their bodily functions, and bowel movements are right up there in the uncomfortable stakes. But once you get beyond the embarrassment, there is a lot that you can learn about yourself if you know what to pay attention to. How often you poop, how long it takes and what your stools look like can reveal a lot about your health. Knowing what to pay attention to is important. That's why we spoke with three gastroenterologists about the frequency of regular bowel movements

I don’t buy Samsung’s excuse for not using a silicon-carbon battery in the S25 Edge

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Samsung just launched the Galaxy S25 Edge, and it’s probably the most polarizing Galaxy phone in years. The new phone brings an impressively thin and light design along with a 6.7-inch display. It also has the S25 Ultra’s 200MP main camera. Unfortunately, this thin and light phone comes with several compromises, such as no telephoto camera and 25W wired charging power. However, the 3,900mAh battery is the Galaxy S25 Edge’s biggest cutback. Samsung could have use

Oura Ring Can Now Track Blood Sugar. I Tested It For a Week and Got These 3 Surprising Takeaways

I've used my Oura Ring daily for the past few years to track my sleep, recovery and stress, but it recently unlocked a new insight I didn't know I needed: blood sugar levels. I'm constantly experimenting with the latest health tech, so I was naturally intrigued when I learned that Oura Ring partnered with Dexcom's Stelo, a continuous glucose monitor designed for people without diabetes. The goal of this collaboration is to help everyday people like me understand how food and general eating habit

Facebook's new passkey support could soon let you ditch your password forever

Google is working on a ton of changes to Gboard (APK teardown)

The best laptops for graphic designers in 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

Graphic design is an incredibly creative medium, but you have to have the right device to bring your ideas to fruition. A good laptop is more than a machine. It's a creative tool as important to the graphic designer as the brush is to the artist. It needs to run demanding software, display color with precision, and handle massive files without stuttering or overheating. We tested the top models of 2025 to find which ones meet the demanding needs of today's graphic artists. Also: Best laptops f

Can These $900 ‘Recovery’ Boots From Nike and Hyperice Actually Help You Heal?

If you’re an athlete, then you remember all too well that the time between 2015 and 2020 was when recovery tools really took over. While hard to believe, there was, in fact, a time when a hard workout or a weekend long run didn’t end with a session in Normatec Legs or a bout with a massage gun. But in 2025, athletes of all ranges, from pro to amateur level, and in nearly every sport, have made recovery a key component of their training. In line with this notion are the novel tech and tools that

Stripe’s former growth lead helps African diaspora invest in startups, real estate

When Joe Kinvi joined Touchtech Payments in 2017 as head of finance, the Irish startup couldn’t afford his full salary. So he negotiated for stock to make up the difference. Eighteen months later, Stripe acquired the company, and that equity converted into Stripe shares, enough to let Kinvi leave his job, bootstrap a side project, and eventually found a startup. That startup, Borderless, is now helping Africans in the diaspora collectively invest in startups and real estate back home. Since lau

I Wanted to Stream a Horror-Western, and Netflix Has the Best Movie That Does Both

When it comes to movies, my favorite genres are horror and Westerns. Yet, as a busy dad, there's never enough time in the day to sit and enjoy a film I want to watch. If I had it my way, I'd regularly plan double feature nights at home to get my fix of scares and cowboys. However, there's a six-year-old girl who lives under my roof, and my wife's tastes vastly differ from mine, so we keep it family friendly -- most of the time, anyway. Lo and behold, my birthday is approaching, and I am getting

Meta is finally adding passkey support for Facebook and Messenger

Meta is finally adding passkey support for Facebook and Messenger on mobile devices. This should make for more seamless logins, as a passkey lets people sign in by using the same data they already use to verify their identities on a smartphone. This includes stuff like a PIN code, a fingerprint or a quick face scan. This is not only convenient, but more secure than traditional passwords. Passkeys are resistant to many types of malicious attacks, as they can’t be easily guessed or stolen. This w

Voi CEO says he’s open to acquiring Bolt’s micromobility business

Shared micromobility startup Voi is on the hunt for acquisitions. And on CEO Frederik Hjelm’s wishlist is Bolt, the European mobility super-app best known for ride-hailing. Not that Bolt’s micromobility business is necessarily for sale — despite talk of Voi buying the company’s scooter and bike arm. Bolt declined to comment when TechCrunch reached out. “Bolt is a great company, but they are mainly a ride-hailing company,” Hjelm told TechCrunch on stage at the Micromobility Industries roundtabl

Yes I Will Read Ulysses Yes

When Richard Ellmann’s James Joyce hit the shelves in 1959, the sheer size of the book (842 pages, 100 longer than Ulysses ) was as dazzling as the degree of detail. Joyce, who had been dead for 18 years, vividly inhabited its chapters, getting drunk, going blind, spending money, spiting enemies, cogitating, and, of course, creating a series of works that immediately made literary history. Moving briskly across the first half of the 20th century (not just a single day in Dublin), Ellmann spun a

Facebook rolls out passkey support to fight phishing attacks

Facebook is adding support for passkeys on its mobile app. That means you’ll be able to log into the platform using your device’s authentication method, like your fingerprint, face scan, or PIN, making it more difficult for bad actors to take control of your account.

Facebook will soon roll out support for passkeys on Android and iOS

Facebook is rolling out support for passkeys on both iOS and Android, the social network announced on Wednesday. Passkey logins make it harder for bad actors to remotely access your accounts because they require physical access to your phone. Unlike standard logins, passkeys use Face ID or Touch ID, a PIN, or a physical security authentication key to validate logins. Passkeys remove the need to rely on username and password combinations, which can be susceptible to phishing and other issues.

Apple introduces new limited-time Apple Card sign-up offer: Earn $100 in Daily Cash

Once again, Apple has launched a new Apple Card sign up bonus for a limited time. Apple Card typically doesn’t come with a sign up bonus, but from time to time – Apple will launch these special offers through social media campaigns and targeted emails. Typically, I’d refer to an Apple Card sign up offer as “rare”, but there’s been so many in the past year or so that it’d no longer be an accurate term. Regardless though, if you sign up for an Apple Card normally – you don’t receive a sign up bon

Xbox’s Best and Only Move Left Is to Become a PC

Your next Xbox device, whether it’s a console, handheld, or some other strange, eldritch device with a glowing green “X”, may be a PC in everything but name. Xbox President Sarah Bond told the world this week that it was working on a sequel to the Xbox Series X console. Hell, there is a whole extended “family” of devices bearing the Xbox name currently in the works. The announcement implied more than just new hardware. Microsoft’s whole brand could shift to being more PC-like with a game-themed

Why Microsoft’s next Xbox should just run Windows already

Yesterday, Microsoft confirmed that it's not abandoning the home console market just yet. In a short video teaser, Xbox President Sarah Bond highlighted a "strategic multi-year partnership with AMD" that will include "our next-generation Xbox consoles in your living room and in your hands." But while we know that the "in your hands" part will include devices like the Windows-powered ROG Xbox Ally, there are still few specifics about what exactly Microsoft has planned for its future living room c

Bogong Moths Are First Bugs Known to Use Stars for Long-Distance Travel

Every spring in the Southern Hemisphere, Bogong moths migrate up to 621 miles (1,000 kilometers) from southeast Australia to spend the summer in cool caves in the Australian Alps. At the beginning of the fall, they fly back to their breeding grounds and die. Each moth undertakes the two-way journey only once in its life—so how does it know where it’s going? A team led by David Dreyer, a visiting research fellow in sensory biology at Lund University, suggests that Bogong moths may use the starry
