Is This Seat Taken? makes seating fussy people fun

theverge.com Jay Peters 2025-12-11 21:00:00

Creating seating arrangements can be pretty stressful; the empath part of me strives to find the perfect seat for every person even if it’s a nearly impossible task. If it’s for a big, meaningful event, I get even more anxious. When you find the right place for everyone, though, it’s even more satisfying than a great jigsaw puzzle. Chasing that feeling is what Is This Seat Taken? is all about — and it does so in a low-stakes and relaxing way. In Is This Seat Taken?, your goal is to place people

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-12 00:30:50

As sales continue to plummet worldwide, Tesla is giving up on building an in-house supercomputer for computer vision processing as part of its advanced driver assistance system. As Bloomberg reports, the head of the project, dubbed Dojo and which CEO Elon Musk used to hype up immensely, is leaving the company. The team has already lost around 20 workers to a separate data center firm that's been poaching former Tesla executives. The rest of the team will reportedly be reassigned to other data

Congressperson Urges NASA to Send Its Jupiter Probe Chasing in Pursuit of the Weird Visitor Coming From Interstellar Space

Earlier this year, astronomers spotted a mysterious interstellar object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, hurtling through the solar system at a blistering speed. It's only the third confirmed interstellar object to have ventured into our solar system — all over the past few years, owing to more sophisticated space-observing technology — and scientists are eager to have a closer look. Besides detailed observations by the Very Large Telescope in Chile and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, Harvard astronomer and a

This is the first thing I set up after pairing my Samsung phone with a Galaxy Watch

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-12 02:00:26

Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority Samsung smartphones are crammed full of valuable features, from One UI’s readymade tools to Good Lock’s downloadable bounty. One example that I’ve taken full advantage of is Modes and Routines. First launched in 2022 as Bixby Routines, the feature allows users to create and initiate a series of settings based on conditions. This allows wide-ranging automatic control of one’s phone and, more importantly for Galaxy Watch users, their smartwatches. Suppose you

The pixel that refused to die: LG Display’s 15-year OLED journey and the screen that changed everything

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-12 04:57:15

Deep within LG Display’s Paju facility, in a room most employees have forgotten exists, sits a 15-inch screen that shouldn’t be working. When engineers fired it up last month for a heritage documentation project, they expected perhaps a flicker and maybe some color degradation—the inevitable decay of organic compounds exposed to fifteen years of molecular entropy. Instead, the display blazed to life with colors so vivid and blacks so profound that the measurement equipment had to be recalibrate

Ratfactor's Illustrated Guide to Folding Fitted Sheets

Cybertruck Leads Tesla’s Used-Car Collapse

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-12-12 04:00:47

The Tesla Cybertruck was supposed to be the future. Unveiled in a now-infamous 2019 event where its supposedly “bulletproof” windows shattered on stage, the sci-fi pickup, with its polarizing stainless-steel design, was hyped by CEO Elon Musk as an indestructible vehicle that would completely disrupt the lucrative truck market. Today, that future looks like a commercial flop. Prices for used Cybertrucks are in a freefall, a stunning collapse that has become the most visible symbol of the deep a
