My 2-year-old son thinks all photo frames are digital. He reaches up to the still frames in my parents’ house to swipe to the next photo. While in some ways this sounds a little dystopian, I also find myself a little impressed. The Aura frame in my living room, however, has completely convinced my son […]

The ride itself is surprisingly comfortable, an effect furthered by the sofa-like seats. While the height helps with the headroom it does mean the center of gravity is not so low, leading to some body movement. Power comes from a 63 hp (47 kW) electric motor mounted on the front axle which can deliver 195 […]

It’s often the case that the more that planets are studied and understood, the more remote the possibility of inhabiting them seems. Mars, for example, is the closest celestial body to Earth in terms of distance, but data shows its conditions are extremely hostile for life. Despite this, NASA has plans to send astronauts to […]

It’s hard to make sense of tariffs because things are changing day by day. The only constant seems to be the exorbitantly high 145 percent tariff on China. While President Donald Trump may have exempted tariffs on a handful of electronics over the weekend, like smartphones, laptops, and TVs (though maybe not for long), that […]

A New Mexico man is facing federal charges for two separate incidents of alleged arson—one at an Albuquerque Tesla showroom and one at the New Mexico Republican Party’s office—according to a Monday press release from the Department of Justice. Jamison Wagner, 40, was charged with allegedly setting fire to a building or vehicle used in […]

The US Treasury Department was initially alone in providing the court a timeline of the messages that it was able to retrieve. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had received a preservation memo on March 26, his acting general counsel said, as well as advice regarding his fundamental duty to preserve records. Resultingly, “images were taken from […]

How long can a revival be called a revival? At what point is something considered, well, just back? The “renewed” interest in analog experiences and physical media is something that’s been discussed and dissected for well over a decade now, and where vinyl and record players have led the way, instant photography has followed. With […]

The anonymous image board 4chan has survived years of controversy. It weathered user and advertiser boycotts as well as damning accusations that it incubated hate speech that may have fueled mass shootings. Users have convened on 4chan to plan hacks like DDoS attacks, and conspiracy theories that festered on 4chan even reportedly inspired the January […]

Zach Sharpe is really good at pinball. I’m standing with Sharpe, director of marketing at Stern Pinball, in the company’s top-secret, badge-accessed Pinball Alley, located inside its headquarters in Elk Grove Village, Illinois (a suburb 20 miles northwest of Chicago, the pinball capital of the world). And the game we’re playing is none other than […]

So Lucid developed a proprietary “boost” technology—it declined to give WIRED precise details—to raise incoming 500-volt power to match the pack’s 926 volts. It says only that it uses the rear motor unit to do so, presumably through one of the windings acting as a DC-DC inverter. The boost function delivers up to 225 kW […]
