Skip the exit interview when you leave your job

When it’s time to leave your job, someone from Human Resources may want to sit you down and have an “exit interview”. They’ll ask you questions like “Why are you leaving your position?” and “What was it like to work with your manager.” It’s done with this premise that they’re looking to make the company better. Don’t take the bait. Say nothing negative about anyone or anything. Tell them that you’ve found another opportunity that you need to take, and that it’s been a privilege to work with the

Trump Snubbed Jared Isaacman as NASA Chief, but the Private Astronaut Isn’t Done With Space

Although Jared Isaacman is out of the running for the position of NASA administrator, the space enthusiast is still very much interested in staying in the game. In a recent appearance, Isaacman revealed he would still like to pursue launching robotic missions to space. This weekend, Isaacman received the National Space Society’s Wernher von Braun Award for the privately funded Polaris Dawn mission that he led in September 2024. After his speech, Isaacman spoke of plans he would have executed as

The 8 Absolute Best Horror Movies on Hulu

Reserve your seat for this surreal psychological horror movie about a talented ballerina's unraveling. Natalie Portman's character Nina feels pressure to embody not only the innocent and elegant White Swan but the dark and sensual Black Swan for the leading part in a production of Swan Lake. But she doesn't fit the latter swan's mold as much as newcomer Lily (Mila Kunis). The film follows her obsessive hunt for perfection.

T-Mobile’s T-Satellite service launches nationwide on July 23, what can you expect?

Earlier today, T-Mobile announced that it had been named the best network in the US by Ookla. Alongside this news, the carrier also unveiled the addition of the DoorDash DashPass perk , which will be available through the T Life app starting July 8.

T-Satellite will leave beta and enter its full commercial p

Judge Says Requiring ChatGPT to Save Chat Logs Is Not a ‘Mass Surveillance Program’

OpenAI and some of its users have objected to a court order that requires the company to indefinitely maintain all of ChatGPT’s chat logs as part of an ongoing copyright lawsuit, claiming that holding onto such records amounts to a “nationwide mass surveillance program.” The court was not moved. Judge Ona Wang, who initially issued the order to retain all data from the popular chatbot, rejected multiple requests to overturn the decision—though OpenAI has vowed to continue to fight the order, acc

Trump Media Has a Bold Plan to Regain Confidence

Trump Media and Technology Group, the company behind Truth Social, announced an ambitious new financial strategy on Monday: it’s going to spend up to $400 million to buy its own stock. In a press release, CEO Devin Nunes framed the move as a resounding “vote of confidence in our Company, our stock, and our strategic plans.” With approximately $3 billion in cash on its balance sheet, Nunes argued, the company has the flexibility to take actions that “support strong shareholder returns.” But in

T-Mobile launching T-Satellite with Starlink next month, working with Apple on satellite enabled apps

T-Mobile has been testing a beta version of its T-Satellite service with customers for several weeks now. Starting next month, the beta period will start to wind down as satellite connectivity officially launches as a paid service. Beyond the commercial launch, T-Mobile has also announced when the service will expand beyond text message support to include data. First, T-Mobile will commercially launch T-Satellite on July 23. T-Satellite relies on SpaceX Starlink satellites for network coverage

The Director of ‘Jaws @ 50’ Explains Why It’s the Ultimate Chronicle of the Classic

Jaws officially turned 50 last week, and it’s easy to imagine that Steven Spielberg’s shark thriller—Hollywood’s first summer blockbuster—will be considered just as much of a classic in 50 more years. National Geographic’s annual “Sharkfest” programming marks the milestone with Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story, a new documentary from frequent Spielberg collaborator Laurent Bouzereau (Music by John Williams). As fans of cinema history well know, however, Jaws is already a well-documented f

During a live event today at its Tech Experience 5G Hub in Bellevue, Washington, T-Mobile announced that it has been named the Best Mobile Network in the US by Ookla, based on half a billion real-world usage tests conducted over a six-month period. This marks the first time T-Mobile has taken the overall top spot. (Disclosure: Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) "We made big bets on 5G, pushing the limits to deliver speed and coverage no one thought possible," said

This hidden Android feature lets me hit pause on distracting apps - how it works

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Every so often, an Android app decides it wants to distract me from what I'm doing. I might like that app, might even use it quite often, but in that moment, it's bothersome. I could mute my phone or even turn it off, but there might be other apps that I need to use. I could also uninstall the app, knowing I'd have to reinstall it later. Why go through all of that when you can temporarily disable that distracting Android app?

Crunch time—we’ll soon find out if Amazon’s launch providers are up to the job

For the second time in two months, United Launch Alliance sent a batch of 27 broadband Internet satellites into orbit for Amazon on Monday morning. Just like the last flight on April 28, an Atlas V rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, and delivered Amazon's satellites into an on-target orbit roughly 280 miles (450 kilometers) above Earth. This was the second launch of a full load of operational satellites for Amazon's Project Kuiper, a network envisioned to become a competitor to Spa

How I use VirtualBox to run any OS on my Mac - including Linux

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I depend on virtual machines. With them, I can easily use and review any Linux distribution on the market. I can also deploy various services on my network. For example, I have an instance of InvoicePlane that runs as a virtual machine (and I use daily to bill clients). I've used virtual machines for all sorts of things, and they have made my life considerably better. One of the tools I use to run virtual machines is VirtualBox. This application makes

Backyard Coffee and Jazz in Kyoto

One of the things I read about while getting ready for our vacation in Japan were these famous tiny businesses: bars or izakayas with four seats, narrow little bookstores or record shops in people’s houses or the bottom floors of small buildings, hyper-specialized or themed bars owned by one passionate guy. (There’s one that’s chock-full of Star Wars memorabilia, for example.) We got to visit a couple of such places, and saw many more from the street. I’m planning to write a longer, more themat

Forget Dyson, Shark’s Newly Released FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan Gets Its First Discount for Early Prime Day

Summer is coming, or it’s already here. Look, we’re not seasonal experts, and time is a lie anyway, but the important thing here is that it’s getting incredibly warm for a lot of us. While there are some people (who might be lizards) who thrive in the constant heat, a lot of us need a way to keep it at bay as efficiently as possible. Air conditioning helps on that front, but so can a really good fan. See at Amazon The Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan is a really good fan, so much so, in fact, tha

Telegram Purged Chinese Crypto Scam Markets—Then Watched as They Rebuilt

One month ago, the messaging app Telegram summarily beheaded the online industry of Chinese-language crypto scam services: It banned virtually all accounts related to the first and second most popular marketplaces for vendors offering money laundering, stolen data, and a variety of other illicit wares to the vast criminal enterprises carrying out investment scams from compounds across Southeast Asia. Then, Telegram watched impassively as those black marketeers rebranded, rebuilt, and returned t

AllSpice’s platform is the GitHub for electrical engineering teams

There is no shortage of workflow collaboration tools — like Slack or Google Docs, in addition to industry-specific ones like GitHub — for software developers. A startup called AllSpice successfully bet that electrical hardware engineering teams need their own collaboration platform, too. AllSpice’s platform sits between existing workflow software. It allows hardware teams to collaborate on the types of documents they traditionally work in — documents that don’t easily translate over Slack and e

Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 review: Technically proficient but lacking soul

In previous years, the Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 probably would have been called an Inspiron. However, after the company revamped its naming scheme earlier this year, all of its consumer PCs now share its name, with a few extra identifiers that call out size, design and status (aka how fancy it is). While I still think Dell’s choice to ditch the iconic XPS tag is a mistake, streamlining its portfolio makes a lot of sense, especially for people simply looking to buy a new laptop. The Dell 16 Plus 2-in

‘Elio’ Gave Pixar Its Worst Box Office Opening Ever

Elio may have garnered some very solid reviews–low for Pixar considering its back catalogue, but still very solid–but that apparently wasn’t enough to save it from setting a pretty grim record. The movie is now currently Pixar’s worst-performing opening weekend, but while there is still plenty of time for things to change, what it might say about the future of the studio’s output isn’t so optimistic. Variety reports that Elio ranked third at the Box Office this weekend behind the still-continue

Amazon launches second batch of Kuiper internet satellites, taking on Elon Musk's Starlink

An Atlas V rocket of United Launch Alliance (ULA) lifts off from Space Launch Complex 41 at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida on June 23, 2025. Amazon 's second batch of Kuiper internet satellites reached low Earth orbit on Monday, adding to its plans for a massive constellation and ramping up competition with SpaceX's Starlink.
