Lordstown Motors does not have binding orders from customers for its electric Endurance pickup truck — a reversal from claims made earlier this week by company executives in an effort to restore confidence in the troubled company, according to a regulatory filing released Thursday. Lordstown Motors interim CEO Angela Strand and President Rich Schmidt made […]
Three Chinese astronauts have docked at China’s space station core module, named Tianhe, for the first time. The three astronauts flew to space as part of the Shenzhou 12 mission, China’s first crewed mission since 2012. They will call the core module of the Tiangong space station home until September, making it the longest crewed […]
Amazon is following in the footsteps of app store giants, Apple and Google, with this week’s introduction of its Amazon Appstore Small Business Accelerator Program. The new program will reduce the commissions Amazon takes on app developer revenues for qualifying smaller businesses. Previously, Amazon’s Appstore took a 30% cut of revenue, including that from in-app […]
Databases run the world, but database products are often some of the most mature and venerable software in the modern tech stack. Designers will pixel push, frontend engineers will add clicks to make it more difficult to drop out of a soporific Zoom call, but few companies are ever willing to rip out their database […]
Google this morning announced the launch of Tau, a new family of virtual machines built on AMD’s third-gen EPYC processor. According to the company, the new x86-compatible system offers a 42% price-performance boost over standard VMs. Google notably first started utilizing AMD EPYC processors for Cloud back in 2017, while Amazon Cloud’s offerings date back […]

I spoke to Refraction AI co-founder/CTO Matthew Johnson-Roberson on the occasion of the Michigan startup’s $4.2 million seed raise. This week we posted a Q&A where he answers a wider range of topics about the delivery robotics company, and this bit jumped out at me: It still boggles my mind that nobody has tried to […]
Instagram Reels are getting ads. The company announced today it’s launching ads in its short-form video platform and TikTok rival, Reels, to businesses and advertisers worldwide. The ads will be up to 30 seconds in length, like Reels themselves, and vertical in format, similar to ads found in Instagram Stories. Also like Reels, the new […]
Until recently, Google’s namesake Android app, which has more than five billion installs to date, had a vulnerability that could have allowed an attacker to quietly steal personal data from a victim’s device. Sergey Toshin, founder of mobile app security startup Oversecured, said in a blog post that the vulnerability has to do with how […]
Reinforcement learning and simulation are essential to solving the constraints and novel challenges that take place in factories and supply chains. […]
Some decades ago we were expecting that by now we’d be comfortably riding in our own self-driving car. Clearly, that didn’t happen, but, folks, don’t despair. We have the world’s first all-electric flying race car. Do we really need a flying race car? Well, I think not, but in any case meet the Airspeeder MK3 that made today its first flight over the deserts of South Australia. The Alauda Airspeeder Mk3, defined by the company as a full-sized remotely-operated electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle (eVTOL), weighs 100kg and can fly at speeds over 120 kilometers per hour. Matthew Pearson, the founder of…This story continues at The Next Web […]
TLDR: The Premium CompTIA and Cisco Networking Certification Prep Bundle gets learners ready to pass six key certification exams on system security, networking, and more. If you thought all that time spent indoors over the past year probably prompted many people with IT aspirations to bone up on key disciplines and get certified…well, you’re pretty bright. That’s exactly what happened. According to a survey, certification exams were up 16 percent in 2020, with 30 percent of those students saying the pandemic motivated their new learning. Meanwhile, over 90 percent of respondents said certification increased their confidence, 86 percent said they’d…This story continues at The Next Web […]
TLDR: From home or the road, the DuoTurbo 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot can easily keep up to 10 devices connected to WiFi at once. A mobile hotspot can get you out of a lot of jams. As hard as it may be to believe, there really are still places where WiFi remains hard to come by. While that’s an inconvenience if you’re trying to post a picture to Instagram or check on your favorite boutique’s store hours, it can be a lot more than annoying for business professionals, remote workers, or entrepreneurs who need to be connected at all times.…This story continues at The Next Web […]
Back in March, I wrote about how Uber’s ride-hailing business was having an absolute downer. One that had been spurred on by a drop in rider numbers thanks to COVID-19, and legislative rulings over how it classifies its drivers. It was shaping up to be a fight between David (the drivers and lawmakers) and Goliath (Uber). At the time, I professed that David was yet to find his projectile, but now, I’m questioning whether he’ll need one at all to force Uber to change how it treats its drivers. Since writing that article, I had a number of Uber drivers…This story continues at The Next WebOr just read more coverage about: Uber […]
VR can provide an immersive escape from the mundane. But there’s one thing it won’t let you escape from for much longer: advertising. Facebook announced on Wednesday that it will soon start testing ads inside Oculus headsets — despite the VR brand’s founder once promising that it would never happen. “We are not going to track you, flash ads at you, or do anything invasive,” pledged Oculus creator Palmer Lucky, shortly after Facebook bought his firm in 2017. That always sounded optimistic, given the social network gets around 97% of its revenue from ads. Seven years later, the skeptics have been proven correct.…This story continues at The Next WebOr just read more coverage about: Facebook […]
While President Joe Biden’s plans to boost EV adoption have been well received, the incorporation of self-driving cars into US roads is still facing strong resistance. Yesterday, the US Senate Commerce Committee rejected Republican Senator John Thune’s proposal to attach measures lifting regulations on autonomous vehicles (AVs) to a $78 billion surface transportation bill, Reuters reports. Thune has suggested granting to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) the power to exempt a large number of autonomous vehicles per manufacturer from safety standards written with human drivers in mind. The senator has argued that self-driving vehicles could enhance road safety by eliminating human error,…This story continues at The Next Web […]
I have a cellphone built into my watch. People now take this type of technology for granted, but not so long ago it was firmly in the realm of science fiction. The transition from fantasy to reality was far from the flip of a switch. The amount of time, money, talent and effort required to put a telephone on my wrist spanned far beyond any one product development cycle. The people who crossed a wristwatch with a cellphone worked hard for several years to make it happen, but technology development really occurs on a timescale of decades. While the last…This story continues at The Next Web […]
