I was home working upstairs when a loud thud in the backyard startled me. I guessed it was an enthusiastically dropped package, but I couldn't have imagined the full scope of the incident that originated the noise. After I made my way downstairs to investigate, I found the double chain link gate on the side of my house had been kicked in by an Amazon delivery driver seemingly unable to figure out the simple butterfly latch. The brute force entry busted the gate's wooden frame, necessitating a r

Lovable on track to raise $150M at $2B valuation

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-08-18 05:55:43

Lovable, one of the darlings of the vibe coding world and one of Europe’s fastest-growing AI startups, is working on raising a fresh round of over $150 million at a near $2 billion valuation, the Financial Times reports. The raise and giant step-up in valuation comes just months after the Swedish startup raised a $15 million round led by Creandum in February. The company described that round to TechCrunch as “pre-series A,” but with numbers this large, it’s safe to say that Lovable has jumped f

Tesla sold 384,122 electric vehicles during the months of April, May, and June of this year. That's a double-digit decline compared to the same three months of last year—itself no peach of a quarter for a car company with a stratospheric valuation based on the supposition of eternal sales growth. The automaker faces a number of problems that are getting in the way of that perpetual growth. In some regions, CEO Elon Musk's right-wing politics have driven away customers in droves.

Business Class Ain’t What It Used to Be. Don’t Tell First Class

wired.com Jaclyn Trop 2025-08-18 05:00:00

Five years ago, Covid-19 largely brought business travel to a halt. Now companies are getting their employees back in the air, and carriers are reinventing themselves to appeal to post-pandemic fliers willing to pay more. Airlines worldwide are reconfiguring the real estate on their planes by segmenting their cabins into higher-margin business-class seating. They’re beefing up their traditional business cabins to snag higher fares while providing more luxurious premium economy seating for trave

As a more casual gamer, I used to just play games with my computer speakers or sound bar, never bothering with gaming headsets. I would grab a cheap Microsoft or similar knockoff when I played with friends, but that was about it. That all changed when I got my first real gaming headset a couple of years ago. Now, my eyes (or ears, technically) have been opened. The better sound, and being able to hear everything around you including footsteps, really is a game-changer. Asus recently released two
