The Nissan Leaf Is Back and Looking to Make Up Lost Ground

wired.com John Voelcker 2025-11-26 11:00:00

Finally, after 15 years, we have a new 2026 Nissan Leaf coming. As befits the “truckification” of global car markets, it’s no longer a compact hatchback. Now it’s a compact SUV—or, more accurately, a crossover utility vehicle built on passenger-vehicle underpinnings. The new Leaf will offer a range of up to 303 miles, Nissan says, from a 75-kilowatt-hour battery pack powering a 160-kilowatt (214-horsepower) motor that produces 261 pound-feet (354 newton-meters) of torque. That motor drives the

Gardyn Indoor Hydroponic Garden Review: Better Growing Through AI

wired.com Kat Merck 2025-11-26 15:42:24

I'm in the midst of putting together a buying guide of indoor vertical gardening systems, and the Gardyn—the 30-plant Home 4.0, to be exact—was the first tester to arrive at my house. I had it unboxed and set up within a couple of hours, lights on and water pump running. I'm already a pro! I thought. Sure enough, within a couple of weeks, all of Gardyn's proprietary seed-filled yCubes had sprouted, and a couple of weeks after that, I was harvesting bowlfuls of herbs and salad greens. Even thoug

In Brief Elon Musk’s startup xAI is trying to raise a $4.3 billion equity investment, according to a report from Bloomberg. This equity funding would be in addition to the $5 billion that Musk is allegedly trying to raise in debt funding for the combined entity of X and xAI. The company appears to be raising money again after landing a $6 billion cash infusion in December, because it has already spent much of its money. xAI makes Grok, the AI chatbot that’s embedded inside the social network

How AI chatbots keep people coming back

techcrunch.com Maggie Nye 2025-11-26 15:39:00

Chatbots are increasingly looking to keep people chatting, using familiar tactics that we’ve already seen lead to negative consequences. Sycophancy can make AI chatbots respond in a way that’s overly agreeable or flattering. And while having a digital hype person might not seem like a dangerous thing, it is actually a tactic used by tech companies to keep users talking with their bots and returning to their platforms.

Reverse-engineered PlayStation 1 motherboard runs original chips without emulation

techspot.com Daniel Sims 2025-11-26 20:56:00

Why it matters: Preserving retro games and hardware becomes increasingly difficult as the years pass and essential components grow rarer. Reverse engineering allows modders and repair shops to create substitutes that function identically to the original parts. Now, a new project aims to bring that level of flexibility to the original PlayStation. Italian engineer Lorentio Brodesco recently became the first person to successfully reverse-engineer the original PlayStation's motherboard, creating

Former NASA Agent Suggests Government Used UFO Theories To Cover "Stealth Technology"

A former NASA official says he thinks the government uses rumors of alien conspiracies to hide its secrets — a suggestion corroborated by a recent bombshell report about military officials spreading UFO disinformation. In an interview with Fox News, Joseph Gutheinz, a former special agent at NASA's inspector general, said that the US military's clandestine operations are likely behind many UFO conspiracy theories.

End of Abyss is when Metroidvania meets space horror

You’d assume that the latest game from the studio that made Little Nightmares 2 is going to be a bit spooky and dark, and Section 9’s End of Abyss is that. However, it's also a little easier to describe and explain: an atmospheric sci-fi shooter with Metroidvania-style exploration. While there's no shortage of Metroidvanias to draw inspiration from, when I played a demo at SGF 2025, all I could think of was Alien.

Few icons in digital design have sparked as much debate over the last decade as the hamburger.
