The Olto is a future-forward e-bike that can accommodate two passengers

Infinite Machine made waves with its retro-futuristic P1 electric bike. That one was built for speed, but the company is back with something that's more for urbanites commuting to and from work. The Olto boasts 40 miles of range and a top speed of 33 MPH, with a 20 MPH limit while riding in the bike lane. Just like the P1, the Olto e-bike looks both futuristic and retro, with a design that can only be described as "Cybertruck meets a scooter from Tron." This bike could be a boon for commuters,

Bats Have Cancer-Fighting ‘Superpowers’—Here’s What That Means for Humans

When you think of longevity in animals, chances are that the Greenland shark will immediately come up. After all, researchers estimate that the enigmatic animal can live for at least 250 years. It turns out, however, that bats also hold their own when it comes to lifespan, with some species living up to 25 years—equivalent to 180 human years—and they tend to do it cancer-free. Researchers from the University of Rochester (UR) have investigated anti-cancer “superpowers,” as described in a UR sta

41 of the Best Movies on Netflix You Should Stream Right Now

Apple's Game App on iPhone vs. Microsoft's ROG Xbox Ally: The Real Winners Are Gamers

This AI Writing Detector Shows Its Work. For Me, It's a Step in the Right Direction

This article was written by an actual, flesh-and-blood human -- me -- but an increasing amount of the text and video content you come across online is not. It's coming from generative AI tools, which have gotten pretty good at creating realistic-sounding text and natural-looking video. So, how do you sort out the human-made from the robotic? The answer is more complicated than that urban legend about the overuse of em-dashes would have you believe. Lots of people write with an (over)abundance o

How to Avoid Scams and Shoddy Wares on Amazon (2025)

With a few keystrokes you can find almost anything on Amazon ... and buy it with as little as a single click. It’s a wonderbox of capitalism. I once typed in “yak” for no good reason and Amazon’s algorithms suggested “yak cheese himalayan dog chews.” So I hit Enter and up popped pages filled with hundreds of different dog chews that I have since learned are an all-natural, satisfying, long-lasting treat for pups. Amazon had over 300 Himalayan dog chews to sift through, from hundreds of companies

Xgimi adds a laser option and built-in batteries to its MoGo 4 projectors

is a senior reporter who’s been covering and reviewing the latest gadgets and tech since 2006, but has loved all things electronic since he was a kid. Xgimi is sticking batteries into the latest versions of its compact MoGo projectors, making them even more portable since you no longer need to bring an extra power bank if you don’t have access to an outlet.

Apple is salvaging Image Playground with a boost from ChatGPT

When Apple unveiled Image Playground last year, the company touted it as a quick and easy way to generate personalized, original images with the help of Apple Intelligence. Upon launch, the app was met with skepticism, as some users were disappointed by its limitations and low-quality results. For example, one Reddit user was surprised to find that Image Playground kept generating an image of a hand with six fingers when prompted to create an “up close image of a hand.” In another instance, a u

Legal tech platform Definely raises $30M Series B to make contract reviewing more efficient

Nnamdi Emelifeonwu was always curious about what work life was like for his colleague Feargus MacDaeid, one of the few registered blind lawyers in the U.K. Both practiced law at the global firm Freshfields. When asking about what would make his life easier, the answer was clear: “Help me navigate definitions in complex contracts without losing context,” Emelifeonwu told TechCrunch. He realized the fix to MacDaeid’s request would be useful to every lawyer. So in 2017, Emelifeonwu and MacDaeid t

Former Intel engineers form AheadComputing to break CPU performance limits with RISC-V design

What just happened? In the heart of Oregon's Silicon Forest, a group of veteran chip architects has traded the security of a tech giant for the high-stakes world of startups, aiming to redefine the future of microprocessors. The founders of AheadComputing, who collectively spent nearly a century at Intel, are now channeling their expertise into building a new class of CPU, one they believe could upend the industry's established order. Rather than building on the legacy of x86, the team is betti

The number of ads on Amazon Prime Video has doubled in less than 18 months

A hot potato: Do you feel like Amazon Prime Video has more ads than it used to? It's not your imagination. The streamer has reportedly increased the amount of ads to nearly double the number it showed when the basic tier became ad-supported. Amazon promised "limited advertisements" when it announced the controversial change to bring commercials to its Prime service, forcing customers to pay an extra $2.99 on their subscription to remove the interruptions. The ads arrived on Prime in January 20

Why uranium mining is having a resurgence in the United States

From about the 1960s to the mid-1980s, the United States was a leader in uranium mining. But domestic production of the mineral, which is primarily used as fuel for nuclear reactors, has since fallen off a cliff. "A lot of this was because it was a government priority. And we strategically used government funding and subsidies to support it. However, what kind of started happening during the 90s is we saw a de-prioritization away from uranium," said Gracelin Baskaran, director of the Critical M

The Download: AI agents’ autonomy, and sodium-based batteries

In recent months, a new class of agents has arrived on the scene: ones built using large language models. Any action that can be captured by text—from playing a video game using written commands to running a social media account—is potentially within the purview of this type of system. LLM agents don’t have much of a track record yet, but to hear CEOs tell it, they will transform the economy—and soon. Despite that, like chatbot LLMs, agents can be chaotic and unpredictable. Here’s what could

When I share files, I skip right past Quick Share and use this app instead

Andy Walker / Android Authority Sharing files across Android and other devices can be tedious. Although Quick Share has improved slightly since Samsung and Google collaborated, offering a larger feature set than ever, it often feels more cumbersome than convenient.

Can your iPad run iPadOS 26? Here’s the compatibility list

iPadOS 26 is a big step up this year, and definitely worth upgrading if your iPad model is able to run the upcoming version.

Solar Orbiter captures images of the sun's pole for the first time

The Solar Orbiter has been observing the sun since 2021, but it recently went on a side trip to Venus which significantly tilted its orbit and gave it a good view of the sun's polar region. That is how it was able to capture images that will historically be known as humankind's first-ever views of the sun's pole. All our galaxy's planets and the other spacecraft we've deployed orbit the sun around an imaginary ecliptic plane along the star's equator. But thanks to the Solar Orbiter's Venus flyby

My Mac contacted 63 different Apple owned domains in an hour, while not is use

During a one hour period today, my computer contacted 63 different Apple domains while i was not logged on and using it. I have been trying to minimize to the extent possible the reach of big tech into my life. A full 25% of the DNS queries from one of my computers (M2 MBA with macOS 15.4) are to Apple owned domains - even though my DNS provider (NextDNS) blocks Apple's native telemetry. Additionally, since I do not use Apple for my mail, contacts, calendars, podcasts or news, I already have th

Show HN: Eyesite – Experimental website combining computer vision and web design

I wanted Apple Vision Pros, but I don’t have $3,500 in my back pocket. So I made Apple Vision Pros at home. I was interested in making a project that combined computer vision with web design—a website that users could physically interact with. This inspired me to make Eyesite, because who needs a mouse when you have your eyes? Eye tracking Luckily, there is already a Javascript library for eye tracking called WebGazer.js. We can achieve decent eye tracking through calibration: Make the user
