How an over-the-air update made Quilt’s heat pumps more powerful

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-09-26 13:42:31

Software might be eating the world, but it’s taking some industries longer than others to realize its full potential. From iPhones to Teslas, people have grown accustomed to software updates improving the stuff they already own. But outside consumer electronics and automobiles, over-the-air updates aren’t commonplace yet. Yet that’s beginning to change, starting with an unlikely product: heat pumps. Last week, heat pump startup Quilt said that it pushed an update last week to heat pumps alread

Netflix’s best movies deserve more time on the big screen

Like the rest of the Knives Out movies, Wake Up Dead Man is full of extremely fun revelations — the kind that can turn the whodunit story on its head and, as was the case for many of those attending the film’s premiere in Toronto, Canada, produce audible gasps. Those shared moments of surprise are part of what makes the movie such a great theatrical experience, so it sucks that most people won’t get the opportunity to see it in a theater at all.

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-09-28 13:14:12

A new study directly links hundreds of major heatwaves since 2000 to the emissions from fossil fuel and cement producers. Among its fundings, the researchers conclude that as many as a quarter of all heatwaves since the start of this century would have been “virtually impossible” without emissions from any of the world’s 14 largest fossil fuel and cement producers. The study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, shows that greenhouse gas emissions from 180 of the world’s biggest cement, o

Starship’s heat shield appears to have performed quite well in test
