Mine are physically failing right now as well. Soon I imagine I'll have to tape the cables in place to keep them from wiggling out.

I feel like I'm living in a bizzare-o-world here or something with this whole wireless charging thing. I had wireless charging in my Nexus 5 almost 6 years ago. Even back then, I bought a cheap wireless charger off of amazon for lik

To those asking: the problem with gendered voice assistants is that they are almost always female. The argument is that this trains people to think of women as subservient, or things to be ordered around. I love the idea behind this, altho

I don’t think we will in the US. We are too self hating right now. There was a story where Trump basically tried to get NASA to try and do a manned mars mission within 10 years. He said he’d offer them an unlimited budget. They said no.

I personally would love to see cities pouring funding into these scooter companies. For me, at least, they are infinitely more useful than the other public transportation options I have available.

One of the largest internet companies in the world having a massive, global outage? Yes, that seems like appropriate news for "hacker news", a website where people discuss technology news.

Um, yes, actually. Humans are capable of all of those things. The problem usually arises when they decide to do something stupid, or somebody else decides to do something stupid and it involves them.
