Atlantic hurricane season is almost upon us and the early signs indicate it might be less active than usual. But that’s no reason to delete your weather app and ignore the forecast.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is predicting eight to 14 named tropical systems, of which three to six will become hurricanes and one to three will be Category 3 or higher.“What’s driving this forecast is largely an El Niño event,” said NOAA administrator Neil Jacobs.Characterized by a tongue of hot water stretching across the Pacific, El Niño is likely to emerge this summer. That stretch of warm ocean…
Trump Mobile spent nearly a year swearing the T1 Phone was real. The phone finally shipped this week to members of the media, and right on schedule, the company found a fresh way to trip over its own feet.The latest stumble in a very long sagaThe newest twist comes from a content creator with 1.55 million subscribers, who says in a new video that the Trump Mobile site exposed customer data through a basic security exploit. He claims he was one of the affected customers, with his mailing address, email and order details left accessible, though not his payment information.…
When brothers Skyler and Spencer Hardegree sent an email to table-top gaming site Board Game Geek asking about running an ad campaign for their new game Possess Me, Satan, they weren’t expecting to receive a response telling them tales of spiritual healings of demonic possessions, or that the game made the advertising manager “sick to their stomach,” and they certainly weren’t expecting to be told that the game was the equivalent of making a game about “being a sexual predator.” Possess Me, Satan is described by Skyler Hardegree as “a social deductions game” inspired by the likes of Werewolf and Mafia. When I chatted with…
The person leading the Department of Labor’s controversial monthly worship services has now taken over one of the agency’s most important offices.Kenneth Wolfe, the director of the DOL’s faith center, is now also leading the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), the office tasked with making sure that federal contractors comply with anti-discrimination laws. Wolfe’s appointment was quietly announced earlier this month, after the agency released its proposed 2027 budget in April, which would eliminate the office entirely.Because it oversees federal contractors, the OFCCP had jurisdiction over “roughly 20 to 25 percent of the American workforce,” says Keir Bickerstaffe,…
Samsung built the foldable phone market out of nothing, so when it quietly files paperwork for the next strange thing, it pays to look.What Samsung just patentedA new report points to a fresh Samsung patent, and it shows the company still has not let go of the rollable phone dream. The filing lays out two separate ideas for a phone with a screen that grows on demand.The first one is the version we have seen floating around for years. It looks like a normal phone at rest, then stretches wider until it lands closer to a Galaxy Z Fold 7…
Earlier this week, Sony warned that it was planning to soon raise the price of its basic PlayStation Plus Essential subscription by a few bucks. People weren’t happy about it. Now, the price changes are live, and it turns out that all tiers of PlayStation Plus are getting price bumps, something Sony didn’t really explain in its previous announcement. As you can expect, even more people are unhappy about this. On May 21, PS Plus price changes went live for new customers and returning subscribers in certain parts of the world, including the United States. We knew PS Plus Essential,…
“Summoning a wizard who can nudify her,” wrote an anonymous 4chan user last week, posting on the site’s /r/ board, a hub for “adult requests” of specific explicit imagery.Attached to the post was an image of a blonde woman in glasses, an open black jacket, white tank top, and ripped jeans, posing on a low wall with a sweeping view of an old-world city and a river behind her. It’s the kind of picture you’d see on a friend’s Instagram account during their vacation in Europe. On the left edge of the image, you can see that someone else has…
After reportedly canceling a bizarre plan to slap “Pro” branding on the base Galaxy S26 model this year without actually offering any pro-grade features to speak of, Samsung is expected to try a similar… but fundamentally different strategy for 2027’s Galaxy S27 series.Instead of bringing back last year’s failed Edge model or sticking to a three-version lineup once again, the world’s number two handset vendor will purportedly extend the S27 family to include a fourth Pro member with several major advantages over the “vanilla” Galaxy S27 and the S27 Plus, as well as at least two very important things in…
The revival of Bubsy, the mascot platformer hero who never quite got off the ground as one of the greats, feels more like a wink and nod to folks who remember (and didn’t necessarily enjoy) the middling series he starred in than an earnest attempt to drag that series to the level of platforming excellence offered by its contemporaries. Bubsy 4D is a game full of jokes, jabs, and meta references to other video games and pop culture, and in a way, the fact that it feels bad to play almost comes off like an extension of that tongue-in-cheek attitude:…
It is indeed a weird time to be an automaker, as US federal incentives disappear and support dwindles for newer electric-powered cars. “Manufacturers would really like to know what the future will be and what are the rules,” says Mike Finnern, the senior vice president and zero-emission fleet lead at WSP, a consulting firm. Guarantees of large, future orders from fleet managers like city governments, but also private businesses, “will help them be stable for a while.”EVs are a nice fit for government fleets, Finnern says. Surveys suggest that regular car buyers are still plenty apprehensive about shifting to a…
