A laptop is a college staple, and there's no way around it. Choosing a laptop for school is a big commitment because while you want it to last all four years and offer great speed and function, you need to find one that suits your major or degree program.

Beneath Kansas City's streets lies an unexpected wonder—SubTropolis, the world's largest underground business complex, spanning over 6 million square feet in a 270-million-year-old limestone deposit. Carved out of limestone in the 1940s, this hidden metropolis was the vision of Lamar Hunt, famed founder of the Kansas City Chiefs. Originally a mining site, SubTropolis has become an essential part of Kansas City’s economic landscape. The origins of SubTropolis date back to the late 19th and earl

wired.com Kate Knibbs 2026-02-13 18:30:00

Would you like to work nearly double the standard 40-hour week? It’s a question that many startups in the US are asking prospective employees—and to get the job, the answer needs to be an unequivocal yes. These companies are embracing an intense schedule, first popularized in mainland China, known as “996,” or 9 am to 9 pm, six days a week. In other words, it’s a 72-hour work week. The 996 phenomenon in China gave rise to major protests and accusations of “modern slavery,” with critics blaming

It Looks Like the Tesla Model Y Refresh Has Bombed

Despite Elon Musk stepping away from his DOGE activities, Tesla’s sales have continued to slide. No doubt Musk hoped that the release earlier this year of the refreshed Model Y would help reverse these fortunes; however, describing the six-year-old midsize crossover EV as “new” appears not to have attracted as many buyers as Tesla anticipated. Model Y is crucial for Musk; it accounts for roughly two-thirds of Tesla's global sales (though this fluctuates). Last year, however, according to JATO D

Synthetic fertilizer is a modern wonder, helping to feed billions of people, but it’s not without its costs. Fertilizer runoff from farm fields has led to dead zones in oceans around the world, where low oxygen levels have starved normally teeming coastal waters of life itself. Eliminating synthetic fertilizers is a tall order, but one startup thinks that its bacteria can eliminate up to half of it, all while undercutting fertilizer on cost.
