This plain-looking reflective cube lights up into a challenging Rubik's Cube game that's best played in the dark. The Rubik's Pulse Cube, announced by toy maker Spin Master on Tuesday for $20, looks like a grayish mirror when inside of its box. When turned off, the cube has a more reflective surface.

Harley Maranan / Android Authority Although switching carriers isn’t a hard process, it’s one many of us are reluctant to take. Maybe you’ve been with the same carrier for years and are afraid of jumping ship. It’s also possible you could be facing carrier fees or will have to pay off devices before making a move. Either way, you want to be sure what you switch to is better than what you came from. That’s where an eSIM free trial comes in handy. There are actually quite a few carriers that all

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-08-17 22:45:50

What has Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter (now X) been up to lately? Among other things, creating experimental little projects, like a new private messenger that doesn’t need the internet to function. On Sunday, Dorsey announced the beta launch of a new messaging app that he says relies on mesh networks to pass messages from user to user via the power of Bluetooth technology. The service sounds vaguely like Amazon’s Sidewalk project (which similarly used mesh networks to power IoT devices),

Frontier is helping Arbor build a “vegetarian rocket engine” to power data centers

Frontier, the organization backed by Stripe, Google, and Meta, announced Tuesday it is paying startup Arbor Energy to remove 116,000 tons of carbon dioxide by the end of the decade. The deal gives Arbor $41 million to help it build its first commercial-scale power plant in southern Louisiana that will burn waste biomass to generate electricity for a data center.

Drive Capital’s second act — how the Columbus venture firm found success after a split

The venture capital world has always had a hot-and-cold relationship with the Midwest. Investors rush in during boom times, then retreat to the coasts when markets turn sour. For Columbus, Ohio-based Drive Capital, this cycle of attention and disinterest played out against the backdrop of its own internal upheaval several years ago — a co-founder split that could have ended the firm but may have ultimately strengthened it.

Bitchat is a messaging app that operates through Bluetooth mesh networks, allowing users to send messages without Wi-Fi or cell reception.
