Mix two internet touchstones together and what do you get? We’re going to find out. LimeWire, the peer-to-peer file-sharing network, announced that it won the rights to the Fyre Festival brand in an auction. The company indicated it has no plans to use the branding for a music festival, but rather bought up the name and likeness mostly for the memes. LimeWire said in a press release that it plans to “unveil a reimagined vision for Fyre — one that expands beyond the digital realm and taps into r

Can-Am Origin electric motorcycle review: Good for a fun time, not a long time

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-26 21:00:00

It wasn't until your average electric car started managing 200 miles on a charge that the buying populace started getting over their range anxiety. That means electric motorcycles, with ranges often measured in double digits, remain a bit of a tough sell for mass-market buyers. The focus, then, seems to be "for a good time, not a long time," and that's very much the case of the Can-Am Origin. This $14,499 battery-powered dual-sport is a fun, flickable, go-anywhere two-wheeled smile factory that

Myocardial infarction may be an infectious disease

According to the recently published research, an infection may trigger myocardial infarction. Using a range of advanced methodologies, the research found that, in coronary artery disease, atherosclerotic plaques containing cholesterol may harbour a gelatinous, asymptomatic biofilm formed by bacteria over years or even decades. Dormant bacteria within the biofilm remain shielded from both the patient’s immune system and antibiotics because they cannot penetrate the biofilm matrix. A viral infect

These were by far the most significant and far-reaching allegations in the case and with today’s decision the case is narrowed significantly.

BMW says CarPlay Ultra is ‘not so exciting,’ disputes CarPlay popularity

CarPlay Ultra officially launched earlier this year, but one of the automakers who has so far said “no” to supporting Apple’s system—BMW—has just explained the reasoning for their decision. CarPlay’s future at BMW doesn’t appear very bright At a recent press event, BMW’s Senior Vice President of UI/UX Development, Stephan Durach, didn’t have very positive things to say about CarPlay Ultra.

Should AI Get Legal Rights?

In the often strange world of AI research, some people are exploring whether the machines should be able to unionize. I’m joking, sort of. In Silicon Valley, there’s a small but growing field called model welfare, which is working to figure out whether AI models are conscious and deserving of moral considerations, such as legal rights. Within the past year, two research organizations studying model welfare have popped up: Conscium and Eleos AI Research. Anthropic also hired its first AI welfare

The time picker in iPhone alarms has a bizarre hidden design element

We wouldn’t think many aspects of iPhone user interface design could be more straightforward than the time picker in the alarm function – but it appears we would be wrong … Macworld spotted a tweet by someone who found that neither hours nor minutes are loops, but are instead very long lists with a definite end.

How one AI startup is helping rice farmers battle climate change

Fixing climate change is no small task — just ask carbon removal developers like Mitti Labs. The New York-based startup has developed technology to measure how much methane is released by rice paddies and uses it to train hundreds of thousands of farmers in climate-friendly practices. It’s the sort of high-touch endeavor that venture capitalists typically avoid. So how has Mitti managed to raise funding from its investors? In short: partnerships.

A few weeks ago in Strange New Worlds‘ up-and-down third season, “A Space Adventure Hour” delivered a deeply unsubtle paean to the creation of Star Trek. This week, Strange New Worlds does much the same: but this time the birth of Star Trek is within the text itself, making for a much more interesting lens on the birth of an icon.
