Elon Musk Slapped With Major New Complication

The reigning king of controversy has just found himself saddled with one more expensive problem. A U.S. District Court judge in Texas has ordered Elon Musk to continue a lawsuit filed by voters who gave up personal information in exchange for winning a $1 million daily cash prize from Musk’s PAC, Reuters reports. The case says the contest constitutes a form of illegal lottery or sweepstakes, which is prohibited under federal and state law, and misled people into sharing personal information th

Android 17 codename: Our survey reveals your top dessert choice

Android 16 has been out for Pixels for a while now, and we’re already well on our way to Android 16 QPR1.

My colleague Mitja wrote about some of the best Obsidian alternatives out there, including Notion, Capacities, Anytype, Google Keep, and some other options. We polled readers on which ones they thought was the best

I'm not losing sleep over Elon Musk's political ambitions

Just a month after his explosive fallout with Donald Trump, Elon Musk is floating the idea of forming his own political party. In a poll on X, 1.24 million of his followers voted, with 65.4 percent saying they would like to see such a thing happen. The America Party would offer “independence” from a political system Musk says is too focused on “waste & graft.” Like so many things Musk says, it’s not worth paying too much attention to unless he puts his money where his mouth is.
