John L. Young, often hailed as an under-recognized hero of the digital age and co-founder of the groundbreaking transparency platform Cryptome, passed away on March 28th in New York City. His death, in relative anonymity, stands in stark contrast to the thunderous revelations that defined his pioneering work. His passing was quietly acknowledged by Archinect, a professional publication for architects, on June 4th: “John L. Young, architect and the co-founder (with his wife Deborah Natsios) of

What It Took to Build the Death Star

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2026-03-23 15:47:17

The ultimate manifestation of the Empire’s overwhelming belief in strength through fear, the Death Star is everything insidious and evil about the Imperial engine in Star Wars—as well as its inevitable downfall. But while the story of stopping the Death Star is well trod at this point, the story of just how it was built in the first place is much more complicated. It’s not just complex because the Death Star’s construction took place over the course of decades, but because of that time frame, t

Tesla’s Robotaxis Are Rolling Out Soon—With One Big Unanswered Question

wired.com Aarian Marshall 2026-03-22 05:00:00

Self-driving vehicle developers don’t usually love talking about “teleoperation”—when a human guides or drives robot cars remotely. It can feel like a dirty secret. Shouldn’t an autonomous vehicle operate, well, autonomously? But experts say teleoperations are, at least right now, a critical part of any robot taxi service, including Tesla's Robotaxi. The tech, though impressive, is still in development, and the autonomous systems still need humans to guide them through less-common and especiall

In Brief Apple didn’t unveil new hardware during Monday’s WWDC 2025, but we could still be getting updated AirPods soon. According to Steve Moser of MacRumors, the code for the developer’s beta of iOS 26 mentions the AirPods Pro 3 alongside mentions of AirPods Pro and AirPods Pro 2. This suggests that the AirPods Pro 3 could be coming soon, which would make sense, because the AirPods Pro 2 have been out for almost 3 years.
