Cutting the cord has never been more popular, and more people do it with each passing year. Of course, there used to be a lot more value in it when subscription services like Netflix were a lot more affordable. Nowadays, it’s like build a cable package through various streaming services, and if you’re saving money, it really doesn’t feel like a lot. Still, it means you get to omit having a cable box, and that’s still a win in my book. Many people opt for true cord cutting and go with indoor antennas. I tried out an indoor antenna for…
Cursor is already at ~$2 Billion ARR (annual recurring revenue as of February 2026) and was on track to triple to over $6 billion ARR by the end of 2026 even before the xAI deal.

Superior models from XAI and Cursor (Composer 3) could drive even faster growth. They could get to $10B+ ARR by year-end. The product becomes materially better than…

Most folks only use USB-C as a charging port or to transfer data. But underneath the oval-shaped connector’s wonderfully accessible shape are a heap of extra specifications: USB Power Delivery for negotiating power flow, Alt Mode for tunneling other protocols like DisplayPort through the same pins, and USB4 at the high end for raw bandwidth — and it’s the combination of these that makes USB-C easily one of the best bits of tech in the past decade. Related How USB-C reversibility actually works Reversible doesn’t mean identical. Charge another phone from yours Reverse charge all the things Reverse charging is…

Our cells produce energy in biological power plants called mitochondria. These energy-makers have minds of their own. They operate using a unique set of DNA and can travel outside cells. Like astronauts, they often escape in fatty bubbles, land on other cells, explore them, and sometimes literally fuse with native mitochondria in their new homes.This makes mitochondrial diseases hard to treat. Few gene editing tools can reach them and fix genetic typos. Even without mutations, mitochondria falter with age, contributing to diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, heart failure, and other medical scourges.But an experimental fix is gaining traction. Researchers are shuttling healthy…
