The Morning After: The next Google Pixel event kicks off on August 20

What can you expect from Google’s Made By Pixel event? Well, according to the media invite we got (brag), it’s promising new Pixel phones, watches, buds and more. Last year, that was true. The same event gave us the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Buds Pro 2. I think that was everything?

Louisiana cancels $3B coastal repair funded by oil spill settlement

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louisiana on Thursday canceled a $3 billion repair of disappearing Gulf coastline, funded by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill settlement, scrapping what conservationists called an urgent response to climate change but Gov. Jeff Landry viewed as a threat to the state’s way of life. Despite years of studies and reviews, the project at the center of Louisiana’s coastal protection plans grew increasingly imperiled after Landry, a Republican, took office last year. Its collaps

Nvidia CEO Says He Has Plans to Either Change or Eliminate Every Single Person's Job With AI

With his bag safely secured for the next several dozen generations, Hua

Spotted by 9to5 Mac, well-known leaker Majin Bu added a new post to their blog, complete with renders of the four new colors the iPhone 17 Pro lineup will potentially consist of, including

Flavor Texture Satiety TOTAL 8 8.5 9.2 8.6 With its founding in 2013, Soylent blazed a trail in the protein drink and meal-replacement market by eschewing the target markets of gains-obsessed bros and geriatrics without teeth to focus on busy tech bros who were fed up with the cost and inconvenience associated with food you have to cook and chew.

Bandages made of medical waste cost Medicare $10B last year—limits are coming

Last year, Medicare spent over $10 billion on dubious bandages—called skin substitutes—that come with eye-popping prices. Some are made from medical waste, like dried bits of discarded placentas or infant foreskin, and many have not gone through rigorous testing to prove they offer any advantage over standard bandages. Yet, in some cases, Medicare reportedly paid for bandages priced at more than $21,000 per square inch. And individual patients have quickly racked up bills over $1 million just fo

Researchers have discovered that gut bacteria produce a molecule that not only induces but also causes atherosclerosis, the accumulation of fat and cholesterol in th

I love anti-reflective displays, but an iPhone one is no big deal

A report yesterday suggested that the two iPhone 17 Pro models could get an anti-reflective display, after Apple’s suppliers managed to overcome production difficulties. I do love anti-reflective displays, and still have very fond memories of my all-time favorite Apple one from way back in 2004, but an iPhone one would have only moderate appeal to me … There was a time when all screens were matte.
