Even if you enjoy cooking, waiting for a pot of water to boil is probably one of the things you'd rather not have to deal with. And yes, the more you watch it, the slower it boils -- that's just science. But did you know that some ways of heating a pot are quicker than others? They can be better for other reasons, too. Using an electric stove can take longer than you'd like, making a gas range the preferred choice -- not to mention they usually heat your pots and pans more evenly, too. And with

Home Depot goes hard. The company pretty much invented the hardware superstore when it began in 1978, just by being so big. They inflated the neighborhood tool shop into a whole city of lumber, hammers, caulk, power saws, and big rolls of wire. I would know I’m in a Home Depot blindfolded, because of a distinct quality to the air—crisp and particulate, smelling like wood dust and paint and the oiled metal of power tools.

A huge heatwave is currently roasting vast swaths of the United States, sending temperatures skyrocketing over 100 degrees Fahrenheit across the midwest and eastern portions of the country.

‘Not a wearable’, court documents detail OpenAI’s plans for its AI hardware project with Jony Ive

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-09-19 03:27:12

As OpenAI fights a trademark lawsuit over its now-scrubbed “io” brand, new public court filings are giving us the most detailed glimpse yet into what Sam Altman and Jony Ive’s hardware team have been up to behind the scenes. ‘Not an in-ear device, nor a wearable device’ As reported by The Verge and Bloomberg yesterday, the legal battle stems from a case brought by iyO, a Google-backed startup that argues the “io” branding from OpenAI’s newly formed io Products, Inc., is too close for comfort.
