arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-20 04:10:54

ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel's show off the air yesterday, shortly after Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr urged the Disney-owned company to take action against Kimmel or face consequences at the FCC over Kimmel's comments about Charlie Kirk's killer. Carr appeared on right-wing commentator Benny Johnson's podcast yesterday and said, "We can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct, to take action, frankly on Kimmel, or there's going

Upgrade your everyday carry setup with these 22 picks

What we carry says a lot about what’s important to us, who we are, and who we aspire to be. This fall, it’s worth examining what you bring with you every day and thinking about how you could refine it. Perhaps you carry too much, and a utility pouch that’s just a bit bigger than a wallet could reduce (or at least help organize) the clutter in your pockets or purse. Or perhaps you want to be more prepared for what the day could bring, with compact tools like a notepad, pen, and maybe a multitool.

Apple’s new Crossbody Strap makes more sense than we might think

I’ll freely admit to being one of the many people who viewed Apple’s new crossbody strap with some bemusement. Internet comments on it mostly use terms like “bizarre” or worse.

It also set a more ambitious long-term goal of increasing the benchmark to 1,000Mbps download and 500Mbps upload speed. Trump’s pick for FCC chair, Bren
