Seagate’s massive, 30TB, $600 hard drives are now available for anyone to buy

The drives are based on Seagate's Mosaic 3+ platform, which "incorporates Seagate’s unique implementation of HAMR to deliver mass-capacity storage at unprecedented areal densities of 3TB per disk and beyond." Seagate's press release is focused mostly on the large drives' suitability for AI-related data storage—"AI" is mentioned in the body text 21 times, and it's not a long release. But obviously, they'll be useful for any kind of storage where you need as many TB as possible to fit into as sma

Bill Gates Sounds the Alarm on a Global Health Catastrophe

Bill Gates will not give up. The Microsoft co-founder turned philanthropist is continuing his public campaign against the Trump administration’s drastic cuts to U.S. foreign aid, warning of disastrous and preventable consequences for global health programs. His strategy is twofold: sound the alarm on the immediate human cost while highlighting the long-term benefits of American generosity. He just did both. Gates amplified a harrowing, firsthand account from a doctor in Africa whose clinic, fu

Legendary Entertainment May Have Lionsgate in Its Acquisition Sights

Studios have been threatening to acquire each other the past couple years, and now it seems to be Legendary Entertainment’s turn. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the studio behind recent hits like A Minecraft Movie and the Dune trilogy is potentially snatching up Lionsgate, best known for the John Wick and Hunger Games series. At the moment, the two companies are considering a team up on some films, and if things go well, that’ll blossom into a “more complete offer.” There weren’t any spec

Bill Gates says Trump's cuts to USAID are devastating: 'It’s not too late to reverse them'

Bill Gates speaks with Reuters during an interview in New York City, U.S., May 8, 2025. Bill Gates, the philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder, on Friday said it's not too late to reinstate international aid funding that President Donald Trump cut off. The Trump administration placed staff members at the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, on administrative leave in February. The last day of the independent agency was June 30. "The devastating effects of these cuts are entir

New Study Flips Everything We Know About Addiction Upside Down

Since the 1970s, countless experts and the US government have sold the public a simple explanation for drug addiction, now clinically called substance abuse disorder: the myth of the gateway drug. The gateway drug — usually cast as weed, alcohol, tobacco, or inhalants — refers to the theory that the earlier a kid starts using drugs, the more likely they are to get into the harder stuff later in life, like heroin or cocaine. Though the idea was pioneered as early as the 1930s, the policy term wa

Seagate Compact 1TB Portable SSD Hits an All-Time Low, 260K+ Reviewers Might Envy This Prime Day Price

When an Amazon Driver Broke Down My Gate, This Device Would Have Saved Me $500

I was home working upstairs when a loud thud in the backyard startled me. I guessed it was an enthusiastically dropped package, but I couldn't have imagined the full scope of the incident that originated the noise. After I made my way downstairs to investigate, I found the double chain link gate on the side of my house had been kicked in by an Amazon delivery driver seemingly unable to figure out the simple butterfly latch. The brute force entry busted the gate's wooden frame, necessitating a r

Amazon Busted Down My Gate and Refused to Pay. The Device Would Have Saved Me $500

I was at home working in my office upstairs when what can only be described as a loud clonk in my backyard startled me and my terrier. I guessed it was an enthusiastically dropped package, but I couldn't have imagined the full scope of the incident that originated the noise. I made my way downstairs to investigate, and found my double chain link gate had been kicked in by an Amazon delivery person, who was seemingly unable to figure out the flip-up lock. The brute force entry busted the gate's

The Unsustainability of Moore's Law

Roughly every two years, the density of transistors that can be fit onto a silicon chip doubles. This is Moore’s Law. Roughly every five years, the cost to build a factory for making such chips doubles, and the number of companies that can do it halves. 25 years ago, there were about 40 such companies and the cost to build a fab was about $2-4 billion. Today, there are either two or three such companies left (depending on your optimism toward Intel) and the cost to build a fab is in excess of $1

New 'CitrixBleed 2' NetScaler flaw let hackers hijack sessions

A recent vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway is dubbed "CitrixBleed 2," after its similarity to an older exploited flaw that allowed unauthenticated attackers to hijack authentication session cookies from vulnerable devices. Last week, Citrix published a security bulletin warning about flaws tracked as CVE-2025-5777 and CVE-2025-5349 that impact NetScaler ADC and Gateway versions before 14.1-43.56, releases before 13.1-58.32, and also 13.1-37.235-FIPS/NDcPP and 2.1-55.328-FIPS.

Playdate Season 2 review: Shadowgate PD and CatchaDiablos

Earlier in this Playdate season, I commented in a review that I "love a game that pisses me off a little." Well, I may have shot myself in the foot with that one. Week four of Playdate Season Two brings us not one game that got my blood boiling, but two. CatchaDiablos is a roguelike with a unique movement mechanic that is both pretty cool and absolutely infuriating: running in circles with the crank. Shadowgate PD, on the other hand, is a remade-for-Playdate version of the classic point-and-clic

The New Titan Submersible Doc Hits Netflix's Top 10, but There's Another Titan Doc You Should See

Every week, Netflix unveils its Top 10 lists for the week before, ranking TV shows and movies by viewership. This week, Netflix's Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster was the no. 2 film on Netflix's Top 10, but the documentary about the deadly 2023 Titan submersible implosion isn't the only film about the catastrophic undersea tragedy.
