As we wrap up 2025, we’re looking at the year’s biggest winners: the people, companies, products and trends that made the most impact over the year. Almost at the top of the pile, of course, are the tech billionaires.According to a recent report by Oxfam, the 10 richest US billionaires (who are all tech leaders, save for Warren Buffet) increased their wealth by $698 billion in 2025. Some of that has been spent treating and lavishing donations on President Trump. Elon Musk reportedly donated nearly $300 million to Trump and Republican allies, and several tech companies have pitched in to…

I first met Daniel Lurie, San Francisco’s newly minted mayor, about five minutes before we walked onstage at WIRED’s Big Interview event, held in his city last week.Lurie’s team let me know ahead of time that his window for this conversation was tight: He’d just come from announcing a new city police chief, and had about half an hour for me before he needed to be on to the next thing. Which was? “No idea,” Lurie quipped, shortly before we were foisted from backstage and into our conversation in front of several hundred attendees—a local crowd, who, judging from their…
The Legend of Zelda fans can save on Lego’s 2-in-1 Great Deku Tree building set at Woot right now. The Amazon-owned retailer has the 2,500-piece display model for $265 (was $300). Woot’s Lego deals tend to sell out fast, especially on pricey models that almost always sell for full price at major retailers. This is the second time Woot has had a deal on Lego’s Great Deku Tree, and the previous deal sold out in hours.This awesome Lego set lets Zelda fans build the Deku Tree based on its appearance in Breath of the Wild or Ocarina of Time. The…
Tired of losing clients because your booking system is clunky, costly, or confusing? Often, it’s because the booking form felt overwhelming, or your scheduling tool sent customers off-site to finish the booking — breaking the flow and costing you conversions. Now imagine an appointment booking plugin that handles everything right within WordPress. That means you can manage time slots, payments, reminders, and custom workflows… without relying on expensive third-party tools. That’s why I am excited to launch Sugar Calendar Bookings. It’s a full-featured, appointment-scheduling tool designed for small businesses and built specifically for WordPress. Whether you’re a coach, consultant, agency,…
Xiaomi has quietly refreshed its affordable TV lineup by adding a new 32-inch QLED option to the TV A Pro 2026 series. The smaller screen size brings premium display tech into the budget tier — and at a price that’s hard to ignore. The Xiaomi TV A Pro 32 2026 has already appeared on the company’s global product pages. In Germany, it’s listed at just €229 (about $267), making it an appealing pick for bedrooms or anyone who wants a compact TV without giving up newer features. Despite the low cost, the set uses a QLED panel that Xiaomi claims…
One afternoon in June 2024, I stood up against the fence of a sprawling industrial facility a few miles outside of Corsicana, Texas. Over a metal gate, I watched a bright yellow excavator claw at the dirt and flatbed trucks shuttle to and fro. A hangar-like structure with a gleaming white roof stretched hundreds of meters along the opposite perimeter. The company that owned the plot, Riot Platforms, was busily constructing the world’s largest bitcoin mine.A year and a half later, a projected two-thirds of the facility is being repurposed to accommodate AI and high-performance computing (HPC) tasks. Less a…
Over a year ago, I was prompted to look for another budgeting app. Intuit, parent company of Mint, the budgeting app I had been using for a long time, shut down the service in March 2024. The company encouraged Mint users to migrate to its other financial app, Credit Karma, but I found it to be a poor Mint replacement after trying it out. That sent me searching elsewhere to find an app to track all of my financial accounts, monitor my credit score, track spending and set goals like building a rainy-day fund and paying down my mortgage faster.If…

Christians are well aware of the Nativity story, in which three wise men follow the “Star of Bethlehem” to the newborn Jesus. But does this biblical story have astronomical origins? What was the “Christmas Star”?Modern skywatchers have posited many theories, such as the star being a very close conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in 2 B.C or a less visually striking triple conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn seen throughout 7 B.C. (Historians continue to debate the actual date of Jesus’ birth.) Another theory suggests it may have been a bright stellar explosion.There are no major close conjunctions this December, nor…
