The upcoming token airdrops scheduled for August 2026 highlight a growing tension within the crypto community: the challenge of balancing rapid technological innovation with the foundational security and consensus that gives Bitcoin its value. While the prospect of “free coins” is always an attention-grabber, these fork attempts reveal a deeper philosophical divide over Bitcoin’s technical trajectory. Bitcoin holders are scheduled to get at least one airdrop this summer, as one explicit hard fork will take place in early August and a separate soft fork attempt appears destined for failure. While not currently viewed as major forks of the Bitcoin network,…

easy ways to get more range out of your EV Modern electric vehicles have come a long way since range anxiety was an actual concern. These days, EV makers have to clear an EPA-verified range of at least 300 miles to be taken seriously. Sorry, Fiat 500e. Some EVs even boast a range closer to 500 miles. Still, for longer road trips or if you plan to be passing through an EV charging desert, it might make sense to try some techniques to squeeze a little more range out of your EV’s battery. Beyond the typical ways to get more…
It seems to be the week for cheap EVs. Right after the production model of the Slate electric truck was revealed, complete with a bump in range, a new European entrant in electric mobility is launching out of stealth mode today and plans to bring its own affordable yet stylish rides to market. Amble’s founders worked at Audi and Ford, started Cowboy ebikes, and cofounded Forpeople, the creative agency that works for, among others, Nio EVs, Arc’teryx, and Herman Miller. Indeed, Amble’s design lead, Julian Hoenig, worked on the infamously canceled Apple car, which goes some way to explaining how…
Ford has admitted to rehiring hundreds of human workers after its aggressive AI adoption strategy backfired. The US automaker hired over 350 veteran engineers, referred to internally as “gray beards”, over the past three years in order to address mistakes made by automated systems. The staff will lead quality reviews after the automation issues cost the company billions of dollars, Bloomberg reported, while some workers will also help improve and train the AI systems. “We had been relying more and more on automated quality systems and not getting the desired results,” said Kumar Galhotra, Ford’s chief operating officer. “We brought…
The milestone is historically significant because it surpasses the billionaire threshold by a factor of 1,000: a trillion dollars is 1,000 billion dollars. Several outlets, including Forbes, Bloomberg (as reported by others), Reuters, and The Washington Post, have described Musk as the world’s first trillionaire following the SpaceX IPO. The transition from billionaire to trillionaire status was swift. According to Bloomberg and Forbes indexes, Musk’s personal fortune would have topped $400 billion by 2024, but the decision to take his space company public proved to be the catalyst for this exponential rise. On Thursday, the initial IPO valuation placed SpaceX…
The FBI recently revealed a facility called the Kinetic Cyber Range, a 22,000-square-foot indoor replica town on its campus in Huntsville that’s used to train agents and other law-enforcement personnel to investigate and respond to cyberattacks. According to the FBI, the range opened in February 2025 and has trained more than 1,400 students, including FBI personnel and partners from other agencies. The simulated environment allows trainees to make mistakes and learn from them before facing real incidents. One reason for building a physical “town” rather than a simple computer lab is that modern cyberattacks often have real-world consequences. A ransomware…

Uber customers in the U.K. can now join an interest list to increase their chances of being matched with a Wayve autonomous vehicle — another sign that the two companies are preparing to launch a robotaxi service in London. When that launch does happen, Uber will be competing directly with Waymo, Alphabet’s self-driving company that is considered the robotaxi leader in the United States. Uber announced the interest list on Monday in London along with a branded, black Ford Mustang Mach-E equipped with Wayve’s self-driving system. While Wayve is handling the autonomous vehicle tech, Uber has designed what happens inside, including…
