The news that she was leaving the league, coming on the same day that the WNBA’s training camps commenced, caught many off-guard. Shaquille O’Neal, with whom Parker...
Let’s be honest: There should be a quick, wireless way to send files between all your devices. But even in 2024, it’s still not always obvious how to do it. If you use the built-in tools on modern devices, it can get complicated fast. Between Google’s Quick Share, Microsoft’s Nearby Sharing, and Apple’s AirDrop, there’s a whole mess of different file-sending standards built into different platforms. And they don’t all play nicely with products outside of their gardens. Your alternative is...
Reddit has always marched to the beat of its own drummer—so when it came time for its first earnings call as a public company, it had no plans to alter that strategy. The social media giant, on its earnings call Tuesday afternoon, not only took questions from investment firms, but also from its own users.

The relationship between Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey is such an on-again, off-again event that it seems like something out of a television sitcom. And after criticizing Musk’s leadership of Twitter just last year, Dorsey seemed to throw his weight behind that platform over the weekend. Dorsey, on Saturday, announced (in a one-word reply to someone else’s tweet) that he had departed the board of Bluesky, the Twitter-alternative social media outlet he helped start back in 2019.

That’s not because teachers don’t care if their students use AI to write all their essays or complete their algebra homework—they do. But they’re also seriously burned out and turning to AI to give them some assistance.
