Most of…
When Nikki Saryan called one of her former sugar daddies in March, she wanted to talk about money, just not in the way he expected. Though there was a time when she pulled in $20,000 a month and was treated to first-class trips to New York City, Saryan now needed investment advice.Specifically, Saryan wanted to know what stocks to buy, “like where exactly I should safely put my money or if I should even put it in the stock market at all,” she tells WIRED. Instead, her sugar daddy, a finance guy in his late sixties, suggested a slow-growing, low-risk…
Leaving your headlights on used to mean a knock on a neighbor’s door—or a long and maybe costly wait for a tow truck. But battery technology changes everything, whether for cars or portable blenders or power packs. Portable jump starters now don’t cost much more than the price of a single tow and can jolt your car awake even with a bone-dead battery. Most can also charge your phone or laptop in a pinch.My conversion moment happened in a remote stretch of northern Delaware, where I’d left my headlights on after a foggy morning drive. I chased phone signal for…
It’s been looming for weeks, but now the end is near: Just a few hundred Tesla Model S and Model X vehicles remain unsold. Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed this week in a post on X that custom orders of the Model S sedan and Model X SUV are over. “All that’s left are some in inventory,” he wrote. Musk first announced Tesla’s plan to end Model S and Model X production back in January. And the data helps explain why. Sales of the Tesla Model X and Model S have fallen steadily over the years as the company’s high…
Food logging can be done in a few ways. You can search for items in a provided database, scan barcodes from packaging, or use your camera and AI-based analysis to determine what you’re about to eat.I tested this feature during a holiday and experienced some of the inconsistencies with the food identification. For simpler items like eggs, fruit, and cheese, the camera-based logging worked well. As soon as meals became more complex, lighting to take photos wasn’t bright enough, or the AI analysis had limitations seeing what was exactly in a salad. It started to become more frustrating. This logged…
The European Union’s cybersecurity agency said Thursday that a recent hack and data breach at the EU’s executive body was the work of a cybercriminal group known as TeamPCP. In a new report, CERT-EU also reported that the hackers stole around 92 gigabytes of compressed data from a compromised Amazon Web Services (AWS) account used by the bloc’s executive, the European Commission, which included personal data containing names, email addresses, and the contents of emails. The breach affected the cloud infrastructure of the Commission’s Europa.eu platform, which member states use to host websites and publications of the bloc’s institutions and…
Watching the wildly popular television series Love Story took me back to a strange week in my past. One day in April 1994, I was working in a studio apartment that I used as an office. I split the cost with Cynthia Horner, a psychiatrist who’d recently moved out to live with her boyfriend, the songwriter and cyberspace philosopher John Perry Barlow, who was a friend of mine. Late in the afternoon my wife called me with the shocking news that Cynthia, just shy of her 30th birthday, was dead. I called Barlow, who told me that Cymthia had passed…
When Brett Levenson left Apple in 2019 to lead business integrity at Facebook, the social media giant was in the thick of the Cambridge Analytica fallout. At the time, he thought he could simply fix Facebook’s content moderation problem with better technology. The problem, he quickly learned, ran deeper than technology. Human reviewers were expected to memorize a 40-page policy document that had been machine-translated into their language, he said. Then they had about 30 seconds per piece of flagged content to decide not just whether that content violated the rules, but what to do about it: block it, ban…

These are the other controllers we have tested recently.Photograph: Simon HillNacon Revolution 5 Pro: This highly customizable PS5 controller boasts Hall Effect sticks and triggers, programmable back paddles, and a great D-pad.

Other Cases to ConsiderPhotograph: Louryn StrampeSpigen Tough Armor and Nano Pop MagFit Cases: These affordable cases both look and perform well for the price. The Nano Pop case was just a little too slippery for me, and the Tough Armor case kickstand was flimsier than I’d have liked. But if none of our other recommendations tickle your fancy, these options aren’t the worst.Dbrand Tank Case for $60: This case looks very tactical. If that’s the look you’re after, it’s worth considering. For me, I found the back textures to be a little overstimulating and unpleasant. I wasn’t ever able to…
