Tesla's Market Share Has Fallen So Badly That It's Back to 2017 Levels

Ten years ago, it was rare to see a Tesla on the road. The Model S, despite being the world's best-selling EV at the time, sold just over 50,000 units worldwide, making it rarer to see on the road than the exceedingly rare Porsche Macan. In the following years, Tesla rocketed to the top of the sales charts, cementing its Model Y as the best-selling vehicle of 2023. Now, Tesla's once dominant empire has shriveled to a shell of its former self. Though the EV company once commanded a whopping 80

Pontevedra, Spain declares its entire urban area a "reduced traffic zone"

With the number of passenger vehicles rising across Europe, cities are grappling with air pollution, traffic accidents, and the loss of public space. In Spain, the city of Pontevedra has managed to overcome these challenges, surpassing national air quality standards and creating safer streets. The key, according to the Galician municipality’s mayor, is an urban model that prioritises residents over cars – without imposing an outright ban on private vehicles. It is a bright summer evening in Pon

This app just raised $14M to take on the loneliness epidemic

One Friday evening, Alyx van der Vorm couldn’t stop thinking, “I should do something with someone.” But she found herself alone once again on a Friday night, thinking about just heading to the gym. That was when she realized that trying to make plans with people these days is incredibly hard. “Figuring out who’s around, texting, waiting, researching options… It felt absurd that staying home and watching a movie was one tap, but seeing a friend was ten steps,” van der Vorm said. At 25 years ol

But do they actually work? To find out, we asked dermatologists for more information about microcurrent devices' pros and cons and how they compare to professional treatments.

Survey shows Google Home users have high hopes from Gemini

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Google Home devices are in for a significant reform. On October 1, Google will announce Gemini for smart speakers and displays and subsequently replace Google Assistant with it on these devices. And we have huge expectations from this upgrade. Gemini has big shoes to fill. Google Assistant has shouldered the load of the entire breadth of commands intended for smart speakers for nearly a decade.

Things you can do with a debugger but not with print debugging

Things you can do with a debugger but not with print debugging People do or do not use debuggers for a variety of reasons. For one thing, they are hard to setup in many codebases. Second, you can’t use them when your application is running on remote environments (such as kuberenetes). So, anecdotally, I have seen way more people using Print/ log.Debug compared to a debugger. Which is a shame, because while debug logging is convenient at times, debuggers can do some things which you can’t easil

Here’s everything Apple didn’t announce during its ‘Awe Dropping’ event

Did Anyone Ask for a Super Thin iPhone Air?

The star of Tuesday's "awe dropping" Apple event was undeniably the iPhone Air, a slim, much-rumored version of its new iPhone 17. It's only 5.6mm thick -- thinner than three stacked credit cards -- if you ignore the huge camera bump. But does anyone actually want a super-thin iPhone? Apple has loaded up the iPhone Air with better battery life and faster processing power via the A19 Pro chip. It's also got a 48-megapixel fusion camera and a 12-megapixel 2x telephoto camera.

I Was Right Yet Again: iOS 26 Is Coming Monday, Sept. 15

Apple announced iOS 26 at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June, but it said at the time it would release the update to the general public this fall. So I looked at past Apple events in September and earlier iOS releases to predict when the company would release iOS 26. And I was right. Apple announced online that iOS 26 will be released as a free update on Monday, Sept. 15. That means everyone has less than a week until iPhones can get new features like a Liquid Glass design, call screen

How to watch Apple debut the iPhone 17 lineup today at its 'Awe Dropping' event

We've officially made it to iPhone season (it comes around every September), and today, Apple is finally going to showcase its latest iPhone 17 lineup. That means we'll get to separate fact from rumor once and for all. Apple has dubbed the upcoming event "Awe dropping," so we're hoping for several big announcements that'll warrant the tagline.

A Split-Second Hint in the iPhone Air Launch Shows Apple's Ready for the Smart Home

Apple's "awe dropping" Tuesday event has wrapped up, and we're all still taking in the new paper-thin iPhone Air line (not everyone's in awe of it) as well as the iPhone 17 Pro. But something caught my ear in the middle of the iPhone Air announcement. Along with other connectivity support, Apple made sure to add that the iPhone Air would support Thread. In a presentation where every second and word was intentional, it means a lot that the company included it. "So, what's Thread?" is probably yo
