After threatening ABC over Kimmel, FCC chair may eliminate TV ownership caps

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-03 07:44:25

Fresh off his crusade against Jimmy Kimmel and ABC, the chair of the Federal Communications Commission may eliminate TV station ownership limits in a potential gift for station owners like Sinclair and Nexstar. When FCC Chairman Brendan Carr threatened ABC affiliates with license revocations for carrying Jimmy Kimmel's show, he said that national networks exert too much control over local TV stations and that he's trying "to empower local TV stations to serve the needs of the local communities.

When this EV maker collapsed, its customers became the car company

theverge.com Unknown 2025-10-06 16:00:00

Cristian Fleming paid around $70,000 for his dream car, a Fisker Ocean. He was drawn to the new EV’s 350-mile range, eco-friendly image, and quirky features like “California Modes,” which rolls down nearly every window at once. “I’ve always bought my cars because I love the way they look,” Fleming says. “That’s probably my first mistake.” But his joy soon turned sour. In June 2024, seven months after Fleming’s purchase, Fisker collapsed into bankruptcy, having only delivered 11,000 vehicles.

Was Your Dog Harder to Train During the Pandemic? Science Says You’re Not Alone

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-11-04 12:00:54

Lockdown during the covid pandemic was hard on everyone, including our dogs. New research out today suggests dogs were harder to train in the years following 2020 but became more teachable as restrictions loosened. A study published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One analyzed owner-reported behavioral data for more than 47,000 companion dogs during and immediately after the covid-19 pandemic. The researchers looked for trends in fear, attention, aggression, and trainability, finding that average

Survey claims many iPhone owners will switch to Android for a foldable this year

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-11-22 14:36:20

A new survey of US iPhone owners claims that almost a third of them would consider switching to either Samsung or Google in order to get a folding phone this year, rather than waiting until the expected launch of the iPhone Fold next year. There’s a mix of good and bad news for Apple in the rest of the findings, but the headline claim seems a real stretch … SellCell’s survey is of 2,000 iPhone owners.

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Some Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 owners have reported chipped paint on their phones. Many owners claimed that they haven’t dropped their devices. It’s possible that chargers are affecting the anodized body of the Z Fold 7, much like the Z Fold 6. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has been on the market for just over a month now, and we praised the foldable phone in our review.

This new screen now clearly indicates the phone is lost or stolen and has been locked with Find Hub. As part of the redesign, we also see bigger buttons to call the owner or contact emergency services.

I'd say this is a setup for a joke later on in the blog post, except the joke doesn't even make sense, so I don't really know what this is. Generated by ChatGPT. There’s a semi-well-known adage in software development that says when you have a hard code change, you should “first make the hard change easy, and then make the easy change.” In other words, refactor the code (or do whatever else you need to do) to simplify the change you’re trying to make before trying to make the change.

Americans’ junk-filled garages are hurting EV adoption, study says

There are plenty of reasons to be pessimistic about electric vehicle adoption here in the US. The current administration has made no secret of its hostility toward EVs and, as promised, has ended as many of the existing EV subsidies and vehicle pollution regulations as it could. After more than a year of month-on-month growth, EV sales started to contract, and brands like Genesis and Volvo have seen their customers reject their electric offerings, forcing portfolio rethinks.

The Tesla Diner Is Already Falling Apart Under Mismanagement

Tesla, a company known for making electric vehicles that regularly malfunction and fall apart, is apparently faring no better at operating a working restaurant. Between its amply peeved neighbors, a woman being brained by a patio covering on its opening week, and protests against owner Elon Musk's other activities, the Tesla diner was already drawing all the wrong kind of attention — and then, it seemingly halved its menu out of nowhere.

When Tesla first unveiled the stainless steel Cybertruck, it was pitched as an indestructible futurist icon. Only a few short years later, many proud Cybertruck owners have discovered that their ultra-expensive rolling tanks are aging like room-temperature milk. One of the most consistent complaints involves seat wrinkles and indentations. On the Cybertruck Owners Club forum, a relatively new driver lamented that "my driver seats are wrinkled after 3,300 miles. I’m not a fat person. Weigh 173 l
