Looking to enhance your social media presence and grow your following quickly and efficiently? Going live on TikTok–just as with most social media platforms–is one of the best ways to engage with your followers in real time while ensuring your face (or brand) circulates on the platform.

When you go live on TikTok, you open up a whole different side of social media. Going live gives way to a more spontaneous way of creating content that static posts or videos can&#x201

What is the SpaceX Starship?

There’s a lot that can be said about Elon Musk—but there’s no denying the fact that the entrepreneur and engineer has seriously disrupted the aerospace industry with SpaceX. The private spacecraft engineering company was first launched by Musk 20 years ago and has already become a leading force in space transportation and innovation.

Case in point: the SpaceX Starship. Musk’s latest Starship was designed to cut down the transportation costs and waste tha

Can Kickstarter’s new CEO help the company get its mojo back?

One of the tech darlings to come out of the Great Recession of the late 2000s, Kickstarter popularized crowdfunding. Since its founding in 2009, its platform has helped to raise $5 billion, launching more than 220,000 projects, including businesses like Oculus, Allbirds, and Peloton. The number of funded projects on the site is reaching new heights, and this year 54% of all projects have hit their funding goals, steadily up from less than 43% in 2018. But the past couple of years haven&#x201

With new Pixels, Google’s going it alone

At an event where Google launched two new Pixel phones, showcased a Pixel smartwatch, and teased a Pixel tablet for next year, one element was conspicuously absent.

Throughout the event, there was no obligatory nod in the direction of Google’s other hardware partners—the Samsungs, Motorolas, and OnePluses that largely keep the Android ecosystem humming along. Their names never came up, and a large chunk of Google’s presentation covered features that will never

10 tips to make your Android’s battery last longer

Modern Android phones are awesome, but man, they are greedy. My Samsung Fold 4 can do pretty much anything I need in a compact package, but it sucks down juice like a technology journalist at an open bar. So I sometimes have to rein my phone in, persuading it to pace itself so we will both still have some get-up-and-go to spare.

Here are 10 tips for extending the battery life of your Android phone.

Why Senate hopeful John Fetterman’s masterful online trolling of Dr. Oz is working

John Fetterman had a neat way of saying “Hi everybody!” to his entire electorate recently. The Pennsylvania U.S. Senate candidate tweeted a video comparing his opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz, to The Simpsons quack Dr. Nick Riviera—an alumnus of Hollywood Upstairs Medical College—using clips of Oz’s many dubious miracle cures. The video proved so brutally effective that a wide array of media outlets contributed to its virality, doing the candidate’s work for

EVs keep getting bigger—and that could steer the U.S. down a dangerous road

U.S. customers can now enjoy a seemingly ever-improving selection of new electric vehicles across a wide price range. But while these new EVs differ in cost and specification, they typically have at least one thing in common: They’re mostly trucks and SUVs.

According to the website Electrek, 6 out of the 10 best-selling EVs in the U.S. are considered SUVs by either their maker or a government regulatory agency. And these vehicles weigh a lot. For example, the all-electric Fo

Google Maps is about to get a lot more immersive

When you think of Google Maps, the first thing that springs to mind may be, well, maps—flat representations of streets and locations. For all their comprehensiveness and intelligence, they still have a lot in common with a Rand McNally Road Atlas from the previous century.

But as Google charts a future for the mapping app, it’s increasingly focusing on features that go beyond its most obvious responsibility of directing you from one point to another. Today, at a

Google is revamping its shopping experience to offer tailored results

Google announced a suite of new features meant to simplify the shopping experience on Search at its annual Search On event on Wednesday.

Personalization is key when it comes to a platform that has more than 35 billion product listings on its shopping graph, its AI-enhanced model that connects things like product data that is utilized to show users relevant listings. Google says that, starting later this year, consumers will be able to get tailored results on Search. In order t

The Instacart Health project touts three goals: simplifying healthy grocery shopping, improving nutrition security, and bolstering the concept of food as medicine.
