Living with colorblindness feels like you’re constantly being pranked by the world in subtle, irritating ways. The other day, I was booking a flight on Kayak, trying to figure out which dates are the cheapest by looking at their low fare calendar. See any issues? Oh, sorry — that’s what it looks like to me. You probably see it more like this. I opened up Chrome Dev Tools, changed the cheap fare colors to something I could actually see, and eventually booked my flight. A few weeks later, I’m o

Large swaths of the internet went down on Thursday, affecting a range of services, from global cloud platform Cloudflare to popular apps like Spotify. It appears that a Google Cloud outage is at the root of these other service disruptions. Google Cloud said it started investigating service issues affecting its customers at 11:46 a.m. PT. The company still does not have an ETA for when its services will be back online. “We are currently investigating a service disruption to some Google Cloud se

Meta is the latest tech company to warm to geothermal energy, announcing on Thursday a deal with startup XGS Energy to develop a 150 megawatt geothermal power plant in New Mexico. XGS Energy has yet to say where it’ll be building the power plant, and Meta wouldn’t disclose specifics about the deal other than to say it’s not yet a contract to purchase power, but rather an agreement “to advance geothermal energy development” in the state, a Meta spokesperson told TechCrunch.

Bluesky backlash misses the point

Bluesky is missing an opportunity to explain to people that its network is more than just its own Bluesky social app. In recent weeks, a number of headlines and posts have surfaced questioning whether Bluesky’s growth is declining, if the network has become too much of a left-leaning echo chamber, or if its users lack a sense of humor, among other charges. Investor Mark Cuban, who even financially backed Skylight, a video app built on Bluesky’s underlying protocol, AT Proto, complained this we

The Meta AI app is a privacy disaster

It sounds like the start of a 21st century horror film: Your browser history has been public all along, and you had no idea. That’s basically what it feels like right now on the new standalone Meta AI app, where swathes of people are publishing their ostensibly private conversations with the chatbot. When you ask the AI a question, you have the option of hitting a share button, which then directs you to a screen showing a preview of the post, which you can then publish. But some users appear bl

Joe Hindy / Android Authority TL;DR Google is discontinuing its Android Instant Apps feature in December 2025. The feature allowed users to try parts of an app without needing to perform a full installation from the Play Store. Low developer adoption is the likely reason for the shutdown, as creating the small, instant-enabled app versions required a lot of work.

‘Sunshine’ and ‘Event Horizon’ Bring Deep-Space Madness to Gruesome Heights

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-12-02 02:00:03

Millions of miles from Earth, a spaceship receives a distress call—so its crew changes course to investigate. Disaster follows. That’s famously the set-up for Alien, but it’s used often in sci-fi stories, including 1997’s Event Horizon and 2007’s Sunshine. Sunshine’s been in the news since director Danny Boyle revealed he’d originally hoped it would kick off a trilogy; that never happened, because like Event Horizon, it flopped at the box office.

If you insist on using biometric unlocking methods to have faster access to your devices, keep in mind that some phones have an emergency function to disable these types of locks. Hold the wake button and one of the volume buttons simultaneously on an iPhone, for instance, and it will lock itself and require a passcode to unlock rather than FaceID or TouchID, even if they’re enabled. Most devices also let you take photos or record video without unlocking them first, a good way to keep your phone
