I’m a dual US-Canadian citizen, with friends and family on both sides of the border. That’s meant a lot of international travel in the past, but frankly, I’m a little nervous about the prospect of flying back to the US in the current political climate. The Customs and Border Protection agency has ramped up its searches of phones, laptops, and other devices, checking 14,899 between April and June 2025 alone. Yes, the odds are that I’ll be able to fly to the country without much trouble — but I don’t want to risk delays or seizures, and I do value…

Home » Artificial intelligence » SpaceX Double in Value and IPO in Late 2026 I have written here about Echostar and SpaceX. My last patreon article said that Echostar is the best way to invest in SpaceX before SpaceX is public. Today, the Wall Street Journal reported that SpaceX will raise at double its prior valuation. SpaceX last raised at $400 billion and will now raise at $800 billion. This increases the value of Echostar by $40 per share when fully confirmed. There is a discount because the 2.8% of SpaceX that Echostar will own through spectrum sales has not…

I’ve had a 75″ LG Smart TV for roughly 10 years now, and its picture quality has yet to fail me. Instead, it’s been the smart TV apps that have given more jeers than cheers. A few additions to the living room have made nightly TV watching a much more joyful experience, and I can still savor the goodness of my 4K beauty for many more years. After growing frustrated with laggy apps, outdated software, and spotty internet performance on my LG TV, I decided that it was time to make a change. Rather than dropping hundreds to thousands of…

Spotify’s annual Wrapped feature just dropped, giving listeners a fun, personalized summary of their listening habits. It has gained immense popularity over the years, and as a result, many companies have seized the opportunity to create similar year-in-review experiences, offering users a recap of their habits, preferences, or interactions from the past year. Here are some platforms and websites that mimic the Spotify Wrapped concept. Amazon Music Amazon Music has a new Spotify Wrapped knockoff this year called “2025 Delivered,” which offers a summary of users’ listening stats, such as top artists, songs, and even podcasts. Notably, the platform also…

The results from last week’s poll are clear – the Poco F8 Ultra is not the best flagship, but it is certainly the best Poco F8 model. And to be fair, it’s not trying to be the best flagship. Its price is so aggressively low that it is making people question whether they actually need the higher end features. Poco’s site still lists the Ultra at its early bird price of €700 for the 256GB version and €750 for the 512GB one. However, they are showing “out of stock” (also, Amazon briefly had a better price at €650/€700). For comparison,…

COMPUTINGAfter Neuralink, Max Hodak Is Building Something Even WilderConnie Loizos | TechCrunch”What makes this conversation remarkable is how concrete everything sounds. Hodak isn’t hand-waving about ‘someday.’ He’s got timelines, patient numbers, and regulatory pathways. ‘By 2035, [biohybrid neural interfaces] will be basically available for patients in need,’ he says. ‘And that will start to really deform the world in interesting ways.'”Artificial IntelligenceOpenAI Co-Founder Sutskever Joins the SkepticsStephanie Palazzolo | The Information ($)”There’s rising skepticism among researchers, including OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever, about the effectiveness of RL [reinforcement learning] and whether it can advance AI to the level of artificial general intelligence, on par…
