Trump and Musk hosted a Tesla ad at the White House

U.S. president Donald Trump has hosted a Tesla advertisement on the White House lawn alongside CEO Elon Musk. He also erroneously called the boycott against the electric vehicle company "illegal."

On Monday night, Trump announced that he would buy a new Tesla the next day "as a show of confidence" in his close ally Musk, responding to the company's cratering stock prices. On Tuesday morning, Tesla parked five of its vehicles in front of White House to create a personal showroom for the...

I tried the AirTag alternative for wallets, and these are my thoughts

TL;DR: This week only, save 25% on the KeySmart SmartCard for your wallet and get free shipping.

I lost it last week. After searching every crevice of my house, I found it. There it was, next to my milk and eggs, my wallet…inside my fridge. I realized then that my beloved AirTags are amazing for my briefcase and luggage, but not for tracking my cash, ID, and credit cards. 

I needed a wallet tracking card: Something that worked like an AirTag but would fit inside my wallet without leaving an...

How the Trump administration plans to use algorithms to target protesters

Marco Rubio’s ‘Catch and Revoke’ plan could let the U.S. government scan immigrants’ social media with AI to strip visas—raising fears of surveillance overreach and algorithm-driven repression.

As protests against the Trump administration and in favor of Palestine continue to grow across the country, the U.S. State Department is reportedly planning to use tech to try and tamp down on dissent. This month, Axios reported that Marco Rubio’s “Catch and Revoke” plan to strip...

$3,500 and bills paid: How these local organizations are helping L.A. fire victims recover

Some nonprofits are giving Los Angeles residents the simplest thing to help them recover: cash.

When the Eaton Fire burned through Altadena in January, Patricia Lopez-Gutierrez and her children had to flee from the house they’d been renting for a decade. Lopez-Gutierrez also lost work: She’s a housecleaner, and her clients lost their own homes in the fire.
