Why I recommend this Windows laptop to power users and professionals alike - even though it's for gamers

15-inch laptops occupy an interesting spot in the world of PCs: they're not as compact as 14-inch laptops, but they're not as bulky as 16-inch machines, either. Still, consumers seem to prefer the other two sizes, which is a shame because computers of this size deliver a balanced experience: a good amount of immersion without being too cumbersome.

Inside the Man vs. Machine Hackathon

wired.com Kylie Robison 2025-10-06 13:00:00

On a breezy San Francisco afternoon last Saturday, I found myself at a nondescript coworking space filled with shoeless coders. Just over a hundred visitors had crowded into an office building in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood for a showdown that would pit teams armed with AI coding tools against those made up of only humans (all were asked to ditch their shoes at the door). The hackathon was dubbed “Man vs. Machine,” and its goal was to test whether AI really does help people code faster—and

Saquon Barkley is playing for equity

Saquon Barkley calls me, but he’s distracted. In the background, two little voices shout “Bye, friends!” as Barkley wrangles his kids, Jada, 7, and Saquon Jr., 3, into the car. He apologizes, then explains they’re headed to an Old Spice photo shoot tied to his latest endorsement — a Saquon-branded shampoo and conditioner called “Saquon Soar.” It’s a cinematic image: one of the NFL’s biggest stars juggling dad duty and the demands of a sponsorship.

FEMA Staffers Warned of Looming ‘Katrina-Level’ Disaster, Then Got Suspended

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-10-26 05:50:58

It’s been 20 years since Hurricane Katrina slammed into the U.S. Gulf Coast, killing nearly 1,400 people and displacing up to 1.2 million more. The storm’s impact overwhelmed the Federal Emergency Management Agency, revealing fatal flaws in its disaster response. The agency’s failure prompted Congress to overhaul FEMA largely through the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (PKEMRA). This set higher expectations for its leaders and enhanced its autonomy within the Department of Homela

Two Years After Maui Burned, Researchers Reveal the Wildfire’s True Death Toll

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-11-03 12:00:05

In August 2023, downed power lines on Maui, Hawaii, sparked a wildfire that quickly exploded into multiple, fast-moving blazes fanned by high winds. Over several days, the fires reduced much of the town of Lāhainā to ashes, displacing thousands and killing more than 100 people. New research published Thursday, August 22, in the journal Frontiers in Climate suggests this disaster also caused a population-wide increase in mortality beyond what the official death count captured.
