The Ebola outbreak erupting from the Ituri province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo continues to escalate wildly, with cases nearing 750, deaths reported at 177, and around 1,400 contacts now being traced, the World Health Organization reported in a press briefing Friday. The latest numbers already place the outbreak as the third largest on record, though it was only first reported a week ago, on May 15. And WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the outbreak is still “spreading rapidly.” A revised WHO assessment has moved the risk level from “high” to “very high” at the national level,…
Software updates are supposed to bring new features and fixes for potential issues, but sometimes that’s not what happens.

The issue was first reported on Reddit, with several users confirming it’s not an isolated accident.According to the original report, the Pixel Watch 3 has lost the…
It’s almost summer, which means we’re headed for hot days on the beach, outdoor concerts, and frantically shooting paint guns at giant salmon armed with frying pans. What, is that not what your season looks like? That’s how my summer is going to shape up, thank you, because on July 23 I will be playing Splatoon Raiders on Nintendo Switch 2. Splatoon Raiders is a single-player-focused spin-off of the wildly popular Splatoon trilogy, and while it features similar gameplay, a lot of the game’s other elements are very, very different from what we’ve grown used to in the other Splatoons. Specifically,…
According to Gillinger, the cross-track distances between the four Russian satellites and ICEYE-X36 now range between about 500 meters (1,640 feet) and 22 kilometers (13.7 miles). All of this is taking place in polar orbit at an altitude of approximately 340 miles (547 kilometers). Russian satellite operators are now in a position to close in on the ICEYE satellite with “minor adjustments” in “satellite eccentricity and average altitudes,” Gillinger wrote in his newsletter. A fifth satellite from the same Russian launch last month now appears to be performing a similar set of maneuvers to move closer to ICEYE-X36. Co-planar or cosplay?…
If you need proof that social media companies are out of ideas, just see Meta’s recent track record. After launching another app for sharing ephemeral photos, the company is now testing an app that’s basically a relaunch of an idea it killed almost a decade ago.Forum is Meta’s new appMeta’s new standalone app is called Forum and is now available on iOS in select countries, including the US and the UK. The app basically takes the Facebook Groups experience and adds a dedicated AI chatbot to it, along with part of the Facebook feed.Described in its listing as “a dedicated…
When the credits rolled at the end of Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu, I was surprised by just how much I enjoyed it. While I consider myself a massive Star Wars nerd and a fan of the original Disney+ live-action series that spawned Baby Yoda and his armor-clad dad, I wasn’t sold on these two being given a big movie. But you know what, Mando and Grogu is a campy, sometimes weird, often fun, and mostly good Star Wars movie that doesn’t get bogged down in cameos or franchise upkeep. That said, I’m not sure this is the Star…
Google’s first Chromecast was a hit. With 10 million units sold in 2014, it excelled as an easy solution for streaming TV and movies from the Internet to a TV. Released at a time when dumb TVs were more common, the first-generation Chromecast has a simplicity you don’t find in streaming devices these days. Press “Cast” in an app, select a TV with a Chromecast, and start watching. Foregoing extras like a UI or ads, the device remains active in some homes today, despite Google ending support for the $35 device in 2023. However, this week it seemed like those…
In the foldables market, Motorola had a big breakthrough year in 2025 as it closed the gap with the niche segment’s leading manufacturer, Samsung. In North America, Motorola had a 44.1% to 50% market share in foldables, just behind the 51% of the market owned by its South Korean rival.

Earlier this week, retired vice admiral and former Navy SEAL Robert Harward appeared on Fox News to discuss the Iran war. But rather than anything he said, it was a weird, dark spot on his neck that quickly went viral online, with many suggesting that it was evidence of a mask or some kind of AI-powered face filter. And despite an official answer from Fox, the conspiracy theories are spreading everywhere. On May 19, during an early morning segment on Fox News, Harward–who was previously the Deputy Commander of the United States Central Command–appeared for a few minutes to chat…
Pilots’ voices from the last seconds of a fatal cargo plane crash have been re-created by Internet sleuths using software and AI tools. The spread of reconstructed audio recordings has prompted a US government agency to suspend all public access to its database of civil transportation accidents—because federal law prohibits investigators from publicly releasing audio from cockpit voice recorders. The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) usually shares factual reports and evidence gathered from investigations of aircraft crashes and other civil transportation incidents. But on May 21, the NTSB announced that the online docket system containing such information was “temporarily…
