Time travel could be possible, but only if parallel timelines can coexist

Have you ever made a mistake that you wish you could undo? Correcting past mistakes is one of the reasons we find the concept of time travel so fascinating. As often portrayed in science fiction, with a time machine, nothing is permanent anymore — you can always go back and change it. But is time travel really possible in our universe, or is it just science fiction? Our modern understanding of time and causality comes from general relativity. Theoretical physicist Albert Einstein’s theory combin

New leaked images give us a glimpse of the Pixel Watch design

We’ve really waited for a long time for Google to put out a really good competitor to the Apple Watch. And we might see that happen in just a few months from now, if not a few weeks. A recently registered trademark has hinted toward the “Pixel Watch” name — and I really like that. This week, we’ve had a chance to look at more than just renders or trademarks. An Android Central report gave us a glimpse of what the Pixel Watch might look like with real-life photos. The images came through a person

I’m kicking myself for not knowing this simple note-taking trick for Mac

I’ve been using a Mac for a few years now, and I regularly take quick notes — it might be to jot down a phone number, remind myself about a task, or make a list of groceries I need to order. Usually, I’d open the Spotlight search tool (Cmd + Space), type in ‘notes’, and write a new note in the app that shows up. It’s not a bad process, but it’s a tad lengthy. Thankfully, I accidentally found this amazing trick to launch the Notes app and start writing. It was so simple that I am still kicking my

Ethereum is preparing for an upgrade that’s been described as “the single most important event in crypto history.” The transition would overhaul the infrastructure of the world’s second-largest blockchain.

Why low-income earners aren’t the key beneficiaries of free public transport

When you think of public transport, one of the most compelling arguments is that it should be free for everyone, especially for people from low-income backgrounds. But while everyone loves a costless ride, the impacts vary among different socio-economic groups. In fact, the biggest winners in free public transport already benefit the most from public transport.

Pray for the man who paraded an Ola scooter through town with a donkey

In what recalls a cinematic scene — like Cersei Lannister’s walk of atonement in Game of Thrones — a public shame parade took place on Sunday, featuring an escooter and a… donkey. A video of the incident in the Beed district of Maharashtra, India, shows a man tying his Ola escooter to a donkey and parading it around town with posters urging people not to trust the company.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by LetsUpp Marathi (@letsupp.marathi) As reported by various Indian news outle

Don’t worry about Elon taking Twitter private and scrapping its board

It appears Twitter’s board of directors finally warmed to Elon Musk’ hostile bid and agreed to a sale – but not before it took a severe beating from the Tesla and SpaceX billionaire, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey and other prominent users on their own social network. Musk, who on April 25, 2022, sealed a deal to buy Twitter for US$44 billion, criticized board members for owning almost no shares of the company they oversee. Dorsey, who will step down from his seat on Twitter’s board at the end of h
