EV Realty is betting the missing link in electric trucking is real estate

Electric commercial trucks are starting to take off. And that progress comes with a new slate of challenges for operators grappling with how to build out charging infrastructure for their growing EV fleets. Given grid constraints, that’s not always possible. EV trucks are one of several energy users currently searching for space on an increasingly crowded electrical grid. And while today’s demand is small — only a few thousand units are currently operating — over half of fleets are piloting the

Dawn Capital’s Shamillah Bankiya breaks down the state of the Euro venture market

Dawn Capital’s latest partner, Shamillah Bankiya, stopped by Equity this week to talk about the European landscape and the biggest misconceptions Americans have about the European startup world. Dawn Capital is a marquee firm in the UK with more than $2 billion in AUM, 34 exits, and 11 unicorns. Names in the portfolio consist of names including AI companies Collibra and Dataiku. It focuses on early-stage companies, backing them from seed to Series C. It’s currently investing from its $620 milli

Deliveroo founder Will Shu to step down as CEO after DoorDash takeover

LONDON — Deliveroo CEO Will Shu is set to step down from the food delivery company he co-founded over a decade ago. Shu, who established Deliveroo in 2013 with childhood friend Greg Orlowski, said Thursday that he will step down as CEO after its takeover by U.S. rival DoorDash is completed. DoorDash announced its deal to buy the British online takeout platform in May. The acquisition values Deliveroo at £2.9 billion ($4 billion). "I have decided that now is the right time for me to step down,

The Download: AI-designed viruses, and bad news for the hydrogen industry

Artificial intelligence can draw cat pictures and write emails. Now the same technology can compose a working genome. A research team in California says it used AI to propose new genetic codes for viruses—and managed to get several of them to replicate and kill bacteria. The work, described in a preprint paper, has the potential to create new treatments and accelerate research into artificially engineered cells. But experts believe it is also an “impressive first step” toward AI-designed l

Samsung’s Project Moohan headset has a new launch date, but what about tri-fold?

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung will reportedly launch its Project Moohan headset on October 21. This will apparently be an online launch, but there’s no word on geographical availability. Samsung’s “tri-fold” device will reportedly launch at a separate event. Samsung has been working on an Android XR headset, codenamed Project Moohan, in partnership with Google for a while now. We’ve previously heard launch date rumors, but a reliable outlet has now revealed a different date.

I bought the Google Pixelsnap charger with stand, but you shouldn’t

Google Pixelsnap Charger with Stand The Pixelsnap Charger with Stand offers a clean aesthetic and a very solid and hefty build quality. Unfortunately, it has a non-removable 1m USB-C cable and doesn't allow for any stand adjustment or portability. It promises 25W of Qi2.2 wireless charging, but fails to deliver that power consistently over a full charge, often dropping to slower Qi2 15W charging speeds. When Google announced the Pixel 10’s Pixelsnap accessory ecosystem, the one thing that drew

iOS 26 is another reminder of just how bad Android updates still are

Ryan Haines / Android Authority iOS 26 was released a couple of days ago, and I immediately got the notification to install it on my test iPhone 13 Pro Max. A four-year-old phone, which sits at my desk and doesn’t serve me most of the time, has the latest software available with all its Liquid Glass questionable glory. My iPad Mini also received iPadOS 26, and my Apple Watch Series 6 got watchOS 26. It’s the last update my watch will get, but that’s not a bad record for a watch launched in 2020

Nothing Ear 3 scores sweet audio upgrades but double-duty case is the low-key star

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Nothing has announced its newest in-ear earbuds, called the Ear 3. The Nothing Ear 3 features upgraded sound, improved microphones, and LDAC codec support. The case is constructed from recycled aluminum and features dual microphones, enabling it to function as a standalone microphone. After launching the Ear and Ear A last year, Nothing shifted its focus to experimenting with offbeat audio products, such as its open-ear earbuds and atypically shaped h

Apple promises software update to fix ‘very rare’ iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro camera glitch

My friend Henry Casey at CNN Underscored published his iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max review this afternoon, and he noticed an odd imaging problem with the camera. Apple says a fix is coming in a future software update. From Henry’s review: “I also noticed an odd imaging problem at this concert, where one out of every 10 or so photos taken on the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max have small blacked-out portions, including boxes and parts of white squiggles from the big LED board behind the ba

Uber will (once again) test delivering food by drone this year

Uber Eats is testing out drone deliveries yet again, this time in partnership with Flytrex. To note, Flytrex is one of the drone operators behind Walmart's drone deliveries and already delivers food in some parts of the US. It's one of the four providers that received authorization by the FAA for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations, in which pilots can't see the aircraft they're controlling directly. The partnership, the companies said, will enable Uber Eats customers to receive order

NVIDIA throws Intel a $5 billion lifeline to build PC and data center CPUs

NVIDIA has today announced it will invest $5 billion in Intel as part of a new collaboration between the two companies. In a statement, NVIDIA said it would work with its ailing rival to “jointly develop multiple generations of custom data center and PC products.” The partnership will focus on "seamlessly integrating" NVIDIA's class-leading GPUs and AI chips with Intel's ailing x86 CPUs. Some of that work will be based on harnessing NVLink, NVIDIA's existing system to marry-up x86 CPUs with its

Midcentury North American Restaurant Placemats

Today’s collection is a grab bag of midcentury North American restaurant placemats. Like so many past ephemera finds I’ve shared here, I bought these at Brimfield Flea this July from a vendor who had around 500 in a big plastic tub. I bought 25 for $75 (a steal!) but I did have to talk myself out of asking how much it would be for the whole box. Most of these date from the late 1940s through the ’50s, when the postwar boom and expanding highway system put long-distance vacations within reach fo

Japan’s Hayabusa2 Is Chasing an Asteroid for a 2031 Landing, but New Data Spells Trouble

On December 6, 2020, the Hayabusa2 spacecraft dropped off pristine samples from asteroid Ryugu in the Australian outback, becoming the world’s second asteroid sample return mission, after the first Hayabusa mission returned dusty samples from asteroid Itokawa in 2010. But Hayabusa2 still has more to offer. That same spacecraft is currently on its way to another distant space rock, aiming to snag more samples to help scientists compile the solar system’s origin story. Recent observations of the

These Are the Catchiest Songs of All Time, According to AI and Human DJs

Got a song stuck in your head? Catchy songs have been around as long as there's been music, but what makes a song stick in our minds is still a mystery. I recently chaperoned the all-night graduation party at my daughter's high school. After hanging out at an all-games-and-rides-free arcade until 2 a.m., we took the graduates on chartered buses to a private all-ages nightclub in downtown Seattle. It boasted free unlimited fountain soda and snacks, a photo booth with props, a trivia contest, glo

The Home Depot Deals During the 2025 Decor Days Sales Event

The end of summer is when our aspirations move indoors—where we will soon spend most of our time. It's when you notice the couch looks sad. And that you'll need a new lamp for the dark days to come. It's also when you can catch some killer sales on home decor—and I'm a sucker for a deal, too. Specifically, home improvement megalith The Home Depot is offering some of its biggest online deals of the year during its Decor Days savings event, September 18 to 21. This means offers up to half off on

What’s the Best iPhone to Buy or Avoid Right Now? (2025)

What's New in iOS 26? Photograph: Julian Chokkattu Wait, what happened to iOS 19? If you're confused as to how we got to iOS 26 when the last version was iOS 18, don't worry: You didn't miss anything. Apple decided to change the naming structure for all of its operating systems to 26 this year to reflect 2026. It's kind of like new car models. The highlight in iOS 26 is the design: Liquid Glass. It's divisive, but there are ways to tone down the glassy look. The most practical and useful feat

How to Back Up Your iPhone to iCloud, MacOS, or Windows (2025)

Your iPhone is so much more than just a screen for texting. Smartphones are how we get work done, stay on top of the crazy news cycle, rock out, keep in touch with friends and family, and capture life’s most important moments. Carrying all of that information in our pockets is incredibly powerful, and it makes getting through our days a little easier. It also means that your most important data can get lost when you forget your phone on the train or have an unfortunate spat with the sidewalk. I

Cold shoulder: Why Beijing is freezing Nvidia's access to the Chinese market

The Nvidia logo appears on a smartphone reflecting the flags of China and the U.S. Nurphoto | Nurphoto | Getty Images Beijing has reportedly halted purchases of yet another AI chip from Nvidia, freezing it out of the market completely — a move industry experts say reflects the country's growing confidence in domestic chip makers and an attempt at gaining trade leverage. It was only a few months ago when Jensen Huang announced, from China, that the U.S. would allow it to resume sales of its made

Clean hydrogen is facing a big reality check

Here are three things to know about the state of hydrogen in 2025. 1. Expectations for annual clean hydrogen production by 2030 are shrinking, for the first time. While hydrogen has the potential to serve as a clean fuel, today most is made with processes that use fossil fuels. As of 2025, about a million metric tons of low-emissions hydrogen are produced annually. That’s less than 1% of total hydrogen production. In last year’s Global Hydrogen Report, the IEA projected that global production

Samsung confirms its $1,800+ fridges will start showing you ads

We had reached out to Samsung for a statement, and this is what a Samsung spokesperson said: Samsung is committed to innovation and enhancing every day value for our home appliance customers. As part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen that value, we are conducting a pilot program to offer promotions and curated advertisements on certain Samsung Family Hub refrigerator models in the U.S. market. As a part of this pilot program, Family Hub refrigerators in the U.S. will receive an over-the-net

I love book-style foldables, and they’ve ruined slab phones for me

Prakhar Khanna / Android Authority Ever since I used the Galaxy Z Fold 3 in 2021, I have seen the benefits of having a book-style foldable — better productivity, flexible usability, and more. The form factor has only become more and more polished over the years, thanks to better app optimization and thinner designs. In this time, I have used book-style foldables from Samsung, Google, HONOR, OnePlus, vivo, HUAWEI, Tecno, and more. While Samsung delivered its most improved folding phone with the

iOS 26 can notify you when your AirPods case is running out of battery

Your AirPods and AirPods Pro are getting even better with iOS 26. As well as new features like camera remote and sleep detection to pause media, Apple is also improving the charging experience. With the new update, your iPhone can automatically remind you when your AirPods are running out of juice. These alerts can show even when your AirPods are not currently in your ears, but stored in their case, that is running low on battery. This is perhaps relevant for the new AirPods Pro 3, which have a

iOS 26 has a new full-screen UI when you take a screenshot on your iPhone, here’s how to change it back

The new iOS 26 software update for iPhone introduces a new full-screen preview experience when taking a screenshot. This includes some new visual lookup functionality, but it also can be a bit annoying if you just want to capture something for later and get on with what are you doing. iOS 18 and earlier would simply show a small unobtrusive thumbnail of the screenshot in the corner of the screen. Thankfully, this behavior is still possible on iOS 26 as well. Here’s how to change it back. First

iPhone 17 review: Closer to Pro

For years, the “regular” iPhone received hand-me-downs from the Pro models. This was less so with the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, but the trickle-down philosophy was still there to a degree. For 2025 and the iPhone 17 ($799) is no longer the compromise that the base model used to be. Apple finally blessed it with a 120Hz display and this year’s most exciting camera feature, Center Stage. While it may seem like Apple is no longer forcing iPhone users to compromise, or at least not to the degree it us

Keeping SSH sessions alive with systemd-inhibit

In my Home Lab network I use my desktop for most of my development. Since it’s a desktop and not a server it abides by the power policy setting I have selected. This works great unless I’m working a remote session from anything else such as my laptop, cell, etc. My usual workflow is just an ssh session with tmux, where I wake up the system by issuing a Wake on LAN (wol) from an always on server. After the typical timeout around 30 mins the system goes to sleep which drops the session and forces
