Evie is a longtime favorite of far-right. At its very first live event, the strength of the publication's politics was in the pretense that it doesn’t have any.

As promised, Google opened preorders for its Pixel 10A midrange phone, and it’ll launch on March 4th. We already published a hands-on with the device, and I encourage you to check it out (we think it’s more like a better Pixel 9A than a slightly worse Pixel 10). If you decide that you want to go through with a preorder, the best deal we’ve found so far is at Amazon and Best Buy, where you can get a $100 gift card by preordering the $499 phone with 128GB of storage in any of its four colors (berr

Waymo defended its use of remote assistants for its robotaxis after the testimony of one of its top executives during a Senate hearing went viral. In a letter to Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) on Tuesday, Waymo's head of global operations Ryan McNamara provided a detailed description of the company's remote assistance operations, including the number of employees based overseas. Waymo has approximately 70 "remote assistance agents" that are on duty "at any given time," with half based in the US and the o

Toyota is on an EV roll these days, introducing the newly all-electric, three-row Highlander SUV, and giving us a fuller picture of the bZ Woodland wagon. Now, the Japanese auto giant is completing the triumvirate with a full detail breakdown of the upcoming C-HR hatchback. We already knew that the C-HR won't be as affordable as we originally thought, coming in at $38,135 (including destination fee) for the base SE trim. That's a lot more than the $25,000-$30,000 some experts were expecting, bu

With specs nearly identical to last year’s Pixel 9a, the new Pixel 10a doesn’t pack as much of a punch as prior A-series smartphones.

Google's midrange Pixels have been our top pick for budget Android phones for a while. They offer good cameras and most of what you need at a budget-friendly price. But this year's upgrade feels so minimal, I'd liken it more to a Pixel 9A+. Or a Pixel 9B. The $499 Pixel 10A is supposed to be a slightly worse Pixel 10. But it's more like a slightly better Pixel 9A. And that's a bit of a bummer. Very few of the features that make the Pixel 10 series compelling trickled down to the 10A this year.

AI search startup Perplexity is distancing itself from ads amid fears users won't trust chatbots with an agenda to upsell. The move highlights an emerging crossroads for the AI industry as the sector's biggest players hunt for stable sources of income to bankroll massive spending, with giants like OpenAI leaning into ads and others like Anthropic promising to keep them out. Perplexity began phasing out ads late last year and isn't exploring any new ad deals at the moment, executives said on Mon
