Three years ago, Meta apparently considered a plan to turn public opinion against one of its most influential opponents, Jonathan Haidt. But since the proposal was revealed in court filings last month, it’s backfired. In fact, if there’s one thing Anxious Generation author Haidt and his critics can agree on, it’s being mad at Meta.

When Apple CEO John Ternus announced the first touchscreen Mac last month, the biggest reaction in the room wasn’t for the PROLED MacBook Pro’s OLED touchscreen or the thinner and lighter chassis; it was for the illuminated lid logo. It’s a throwback to the light-up logos on the old MacBooks, which Apple started phasing out […]
I was certain, until the story of Jensen Huang’s second affair hit, that Huang was bulletproof. After all, why wouldn’t he be? He’s placed himself indispensably at the center of the AI industry and famously had no succession plan at Nvidia. In fact, he’s the only CEO Nvidia has ever had. L’état c’est moi. Then […]

Twenty-five years ago, Kevin Lewandowski founded Discogs, arguably the destination online for obsessive vinyl collectors and music nerds of all stripes. It is a marketplace for buying and selling records, obviously, but it’s also become so much more. It’s a shockingly comprehensive database that covers not just albums and singles, but all the various versions […]
inMusic, the parent company of Akai, Moog, Native Instruments, and more, has decided to embrace the modding community. In an interview with The Verge, inMusic CEO Jack O’Donnell said, “We’re going to provide a toolbox to the community, we’re going to provide the inner workings of, say, an MPC or Sample so that people can […]
Note: Some spoilers for Control Resonant’s “Recursions and Iterations” mission follow. One of Control Resonant’s most memorable missions involves time travel – kind of. There are certainly multiple timelines intersecting, or maybe overlapping, or maybe running in parallel. As protagonist Dylan Faden, you meet some of the researchers who are trapped in and investigating these […]
When I first read Allison and Nilay’s Verge review of the iPhone Duo, I was immediately struck by one of their complaints: that the cover display is too small. That’s not how the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 feels, I thought. Had they got it wrong? After a week and a half using the Duo, […]
A week before the midterm elections, Vice President JD Vance hosted a town hall in Texas with Fox News host Jesse Watters. It was a friendly event with a friendly audience in what should have been a friendly state, and maybe that’s why Vance couldn’t help himself. When a college student earnestly asked how the […]
