Meta Ray-Bans have been around for years, but the new line of Oakley HSTN glasses arriving this summer adds another, sportier style option.

Bandages made of medical waste cost Medicare $10B last year—limits are coming

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-07-21 04:52:57

Last year, Medicare spent over $10 billion on dubious bandages—called skin substitutes—that come with eye-popping prices. Some are made from medical waste, like dried bits of discarded placentas or infant foreskin, and many have not gone through rigorous testing to prove they offer any advantage over standard bandages. Yet, in some cases, Medicare reportedly paid for bandages priced at more than $21,000 per square inch. And individual patients have quickly racked up bills over $1 million just fo

Donkey Kong Bananza turns destruction into joy

theverge.com Ash Parrish 2025-07-24 20:00:00

My first thought upon starting up Donkey Kong Bananza was, “Why yes, I actually would like to go ape shit.” The game starts by having Donkey Kong smash through a wall to reveal a glittering gem waiting to be liberated from the rock. But instead of punching the bright yellow gem into bite-size pieces, I kept punching through the walls and floors, digging tunnels into the landscape. With the Nintendo Switch 2 finally out in consumers’ hands for more than a month now and the luster of the console’

Almost everyone I know owns at least one power bank, and the ubiquity of these portable chargers means that you can pick up cheap units in gas stations and dollar stores. But my extensive testing suggests that these are false economy, and you're very likely buying something that at best won't last long, or at worse could even be dangerous.

But you’d be wrong: we loathed the show, especially for its often wrong-headed approach to geeky interests (remember how dirty it did Brian K.
