Experience smoother air travel with the new AirHelp app and AirHelp+ membership, and receive more money back for disruptions

gizmodo.com David Nield 2025-10-26 08:00:15

Summer is known for being a very disruptive season, with strikes, severe weather, and overcrowded airports often leading to significant flight delays and cancellations. A smooth and fuss-free experience when flying can make all the difference to a trip; whether you’re taking the family on vacation or jetting between work appointments. What you don’t want are disruptions and delays that leave you stressed before you’ve even reached your destination, or worse, that delay you in getting to where y

Doublefine’s Keeper may have the most endearing videogame double-act since Banjo and Kazooie

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-26 12:30:38

It’s been a while since Tim Schafer’s done press briefings, he admits. The head of Double Fine, a studio best known for the Psychonauts series, is trying to explain Keeper, a puzzle adventure game where you are, literally, a sentient, walking lighthouse. Double Fine is now one of several studios bought up by Microsoft and the team apparently took the opportunity to lean into all the resources available and, he said, “make something weird.” It’s definitely that.

Job titles of the future: Satellite streak astronomer

technologyreview.com Tereza Pultarova 2025-10-26 20:00:00

But in 2019, SpaceX began deploying its internet-beaming Starlink constellation, and the astronomical community started to sound alarm bells. The satellites were orbiting too low and reflected too much sunlight, leaving bright marks in telescope images. A year later, Rawls and a handful of her colleagues were the first to make a scientific assessment of the satellite streaks’ effect on astronomical observations, using images from the Víctor M. Blanco telescope (which, like Rubin, is in Chile). “

Rokid Glasses Hands-On: Smart Glasses, Buggy Voice Assistant

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-26 20:00:46

Smart glasses are an exciting idea right now. In theory, they’re a new gadget that does lots of the stuff that our phones do, but in an always-there form factor. They can take pictures, make calls, translate menus, and—if the tech and the investment get there—they might slap a screen right onto eyeballs for notifications, navigation, and maybe even augmented reality à la Pokémon Go. I say “in theory” because just because smart glasses can do all of those things on paper doesn’t mean they can do

SpaceX's Starship deploys its payload for the first time

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-26 18:50:30

SpaceX has successfully launched the Starship for its 10th test flight after it was delayed a couple of times due to weather conditions and other issues. This time, the company was able to achieve its objectives without the vehicle and its booster exploding mid-test. One of those objectives was deploying Starship's payload for the first time ever. If you'll recall, Starship exploded during its ascent stage in the company's seventh and eighth test flights. The vehicle made it to space for its nin

If the songbirds in your neighborhood are waking you up earlier and chirping well into the evening, blame light pollution. Artificial light touches nearly every corner of Earth’s surface, and a new study shows that it’s messing with birds’ biological clocks. Researchers analyzed a global acoustic dataset of more than 60 million recorded birdsongs representing more than 580 diurnal bird species.

Anthropic has settled a class-action lawsuit brought by a group of authors for an undisclosed sum. The move means the company will avoid a potentially more costly ruling if the case regarding its use of copyright materials to train artificial intelligence tools had moved forward. In June, Judge William Alsup handed down a mixed result in the case, ruling that Anthropic's move to train LLMs on copyrighted materials constituted fair use.
