In the seminal 1984 film Footloose, Kevin Bacon's character Ren delivers a stirring speech about how it's finally the town's time to dance. If you're West Virginia football coach Rich Rodriguez, however, the time to dance is never. In perhaps one of the silliest examples of football guys being football guys, Rodriguez has banned his players from dancing on TikTok. Not from using or even posting on TikTok, mind you. Just dancing. "They're going to be on it, so I'm not banning them

Ever since the Tesla Cybertruck launched, people have been putting the truck through its paces with hilarious, and often catastrophic, results. Tech YouTuber JerryRigEverything — mostly known for his smartphone durability test — put a Cybertruck through a different kind of test by loading the truck’s hitch up to its 11,000-pound tow limit to see if the truck could handle it. We won’t spoil the ending entirely, but based on the headline, you can probably guess how the

Renewed calls for Google to sell Chrome have reignited demands for the company to also divest Android. An executive at Murena, a French smartphone startup, said today that breaking up the businesses is the only way to end Google’s “cycle of domination”. The appeal follows a Friday court filing from the US Department of Justice (DOJ). The filing reaffirmed a proposal for Google to divest its Chrome browser and sell it to a competitor, in a bid to break up the tech giant’s

Apple has released update 18.3.2 for iOS and iPadOS, and it should be rolling out to compatible iPhones and iPads starting Wednesday. The latest update isn’t too big, so let’s get right into it. For the most part, Apple is going with the boilerplate update description. Cupertino says that the update “provides important bug fixes, security updates, and addresses an issue that may prevent playback of some streaming content.” Apple has a habit of not disclosing or

Electric vehicles (EVs) have had a weird year so far. Thanks to Elon Musk, Tesla fell from grace. As the brand synonymous with EVs, that would seem to indicate that EVs are in trouble. As it turns out, nothing could be further from the truth.Ars Technica, citing analysts at Rho Motion, reported that global EV sales had jumped up 30 percent compared to this time last year. Even in the U.S., sales were reportedly up 28 percent compared with this point last year. That might actually be because folk

With their heavy battery packs, EVs are hardly known for being lightweight. That is, perhaps, until now.  British startup Longbow — founded by former Tesla, Lucid, and Polestar execs — emerged from stealth today with plans for two new ultralight EVs. The company bills the cars as “spiritual successors” to the iconic Lotus Elise and Jaguar E-Type. The first of the pair is Speedster, a nimble, open-top sports car weighing just 895kg that could accelerate from 0 t

With Tesla stocks plunging, owners rushing to sell their vehicles, and protests against Elon Musk's car company growing, it's been a bad time for Tesla and its Trump-supporting CEO. And on Tuesday, The Late Show host Stephen Colbert used his monologue to break it all down. "Here's the thing. This downturn didn't just start yesterday, because Tesla stock has plummeted 50 percent since December," said Colbert. "And there's a good reason for that. It's a phenomenon economists call 'Everyone Fucking

Barnard's Star, just some 6 light-years away, has intrigued astronomers for over a century.Does the second-closest stellar system to us host any planets?Though this system has hoodwinked astronomers with planetary signals before, researchers say they're confident they have detected three new planets and confirmed another. After peering at Barnard's Star over 112 nights, scientists using a powerful telescope in Chile found compelling evidence of four particularly small exoplanets, each just some

The last time NASA collected data on the heat emerging from the moon's interior was when the space agency still sent astronauts on Apollo missions. The lunar heat-flow study had seemingly ended. Because the data can't be obtained with orbiters, no further measurements were taken after just two were made in the 1970s. But all that has changed since Texas-based company Firefly Aerospace successfully landed Blue Ghost on the moon on March 2. The uncrewed spacecraft, carrying 10 NASA exper
