Big Tech Hijacked Steve Bannon’s Movement

gizmodo.com Matthew Gault 2025-08-15 17:50:32

Steve Bannon is out and Elon Musk is in. A man who once had an office and a whiteboard in the White House now has a podcast. It’s not nothing, but it’s not an extra-governmental agency that has access to the backend systems that make America run and hum. Banon was once the darling of right-wing media and the world’s preeminent Trump whisperer. Now he’s “Sloppy Steve,” Musk is sitting next to Trump during interviews, and Bannon says he’s ready for war. And while Bannon whines, Musk is opening th

Elon’s DOGE Claimed It Saved $8 Billion. The Real Figure Was $8 Million.

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-08-15 17:55:35

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency claims to be fighting the scourge of government “waste” and fraud and, this week, DOGE claimed that it had already saved taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. However, in an ironic twist, it would appear that the claims being made by Musk and DOGE about their own activities appear to be, themselves, fraudulent. Despite recently claiming that it had already saved Americans $55 billion, the information on DOGE’s website only accounts for $16 billio

Trump’s Pick for NASA Chief Hints at Expected Shift Toward Mars

gizmodo.com Adam Kovac 2025-08-15 18:25:06

If Jared Isaacman becomes NASA’s administrator, as he’s likely to do, the agency will prioritize Mars over the Moon under the Trump administration, judging by some of his first public comments on the matter. Jared Isaacman has been active on social media since Trump named him as his choice to become the U.S. space agency’s next administrator, which he did in early December. But the astronaut mostly stuck to posting about flying planes, his payments company Shift4, and retweeting images of space

cnet.com Amanda Kooser 2025-08-15 15:10:00

It's not great news, but don't panic: Astronomers spotted an asteroid that has a roughly 3.1% chance of impacting Earth on Dec. 22, 2032. Space agencies are monitoring the newly discovered asteroid and still learning more about its size and path, so don't mark your calendar for doomsday just yet. Although the odds of the asteroid hitting Earth have increased recently, that number is not set in stone. There's still a lot to learn about the space rock.

There’s No Longer a Sub-$500 iPhone. Does It Matter?

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2025-08-15 17:59:05

Yesterday, the cheapest iPhone cost $429 if you wanted to buy directly from Apple. Today? It's $599. The new iPhone 16e replaced the iPhone SE, giving the aging device a much-needed cosmetic upgrade and power boost, but it comes at a cost. The overhaul is so big that the iPhone 16e is essentially a new class of device in Apple's smartphone lineup, hence the name change. (Apple didn't say what the “e” stands for.) Apple also took this opportunity to cut the $599 iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus from

Ceramics could be Samsung’s secret to the Galaxy S25 Edge’s slim design

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-15 21:11:30

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is working on a new, extra thin addition to the Galaxy S25 family: the S25 Edge. A new report claims that Samsung could use ceramic materials for the Galaxy S25 Edge’s rear panel. Samsung already employs ceramic glass Corning Gorilla Armor 2 with the Galaxy S25 Ultra. There are only so many ways to build a smartphone, and especially when we’ve all sort of gotten on board with the same basic shape, a manufacturer’s choice of materials can go a
