Tesla is launching an even-more-limited version of its early robotaxi service in San Francisco this weekend, according to Business Insider, after an initial rollout began last month in Austin, Texas. The company plans to offer rides with a driver in the driver’s seat, which is necessary because Tesla does not have the proper permits for driverless testing or deployment, according to California DMV records. It is not clear whether the company has obtained a permit from California’s Public Utili

Hey friends 👋, A few months ago, Amazon announced that Kindle users would no longer be able to download and back up their book libraries to their computers. Thankfully, I still have access to my library because I saw this video by Jared Henderson warning of the change and downloaded all ~400 of my books immediately. But for those that didn't, the only way for them to view the books they own is through a Kindle or the Kindle app. Which raises the question: do they even own those books? If you

How Is T-Mobile's Starlink-Based Satellite Service Different From the Rest? I Tried It First-Hand

T-Mobile's new T-Satellite service commercially launched this week. It uses the Starlink satellite network to let you send and receive text messages from space. For $10 a month (or included in the cost of the company's Experience Beyond plan), the service can be a communications lifeline when you're out of cellular coverage. But that's the thing: To test it out, I had to find a cellular dead zone. T-Mobile estimates there are 500,000 square miles in the US with no cell coverage, so I left my ho

Chipmaking giants like Intel, Samsung, and TSMC see a future where key parts of silicon transistors are replaced with semiconductors that are only a few atoms thick. Although they’ve reported progress toward that goal, that future is generally thought to be more than a decade away. Now, a startup spun out of MIT thinks it has cracked the code for making commercial-scale 2D semiconductors and expects chipmakers to have integrated them in advanced chips in half that time.
