Sheila Dang | ReutersEnergy Secretary Chris Wright said oil and gas prices will begin to fall when the U.S. begins to knock out Iran’s ability to hinder tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, as Americans weather spiking gas prices due to the war in Iran. “The plan is to get oil and natural gas and fertilizer and all the products from the Gulf flowing through the straits before too long,” Wright said on Fox News Sunday. “We’re massively attriting their…

Caitlin Kalinowski, who oversaw hardware within the robotics division of OpenAI, posted on X that she was resigning from her role, while criticizing the company’s haste in partnering with the Department of Defense without investigating proper guardrails. OpenAI told Engadget that there are no plans to replace Kalinowski.Kalinowski, who previously worked at Meta before leaving to join OpenAI in late 2024, wrote on X that “surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got.” Responding to another post, the former OpenAI exec…

He was a little rusty, still wrapping his head around the team’s motion offense and his new surroundings.But there were second-half flashes of his tantalizing potential. Porzingis poured in two post-up jumpers over a mismatch, drilled a 30-footer and volleyball spiked a Nikola Vucevic floater. The Warriors won the 9 minutes,…

Batteries aren’t magic. They’re chemical. And, like most things built by humans, they wear down over time. I don’t need to tell you this—anyone who has owned a MacBook knows that battery life gets worse and worse as it ages. But what if I told you it’s possible to slow that process down?One common bit of advice is to only charge your devices up to 80 percent most of the time. Battery University, funded by a consultancy that helps large companies get more out of batteries, suggests this based on its research. So does the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.But how…

Unlike the Fairbuds XL, which can be almost completely disassembled in nine parts, the Mix are composed of four main ingredients: the headband, the ear cups, the ear cushions, and the battery. While repairability is clearly a benefit, Fender’s main focus is on the ability to mix and match the parts—hence the name. Eventually, each part will be available in five different colors, and some parts, like the ear cushions, will come in different materials for warmer or cooler climates.My 10-day stint with the Mix wasn’t nearly enough time to evaluate whether the USB-C-based connections between the ear cups and…

We know that raising emotionally intelligent kids sets them up for future success. The challenge is that many of us were never taught those skills ourselves.Growing up, many of us heard phrases like “stop crying,” “calm down,” or “be good.” Over time, those messages taught us to suppress feelings rather than understand them. As adults and parents, we often find ourselves trying to teach emotional skills we never had the chance to learn.But children today can develop emotional intelligence through everyday interactions with the adults around them. The conversations we have, the questions we ask, and the sense of safety…

HARRISON, N.J. — Days before the U.S. women’s national team faced off against Colombia in their SheBeleives Cup finale, head coach Emma Hayes already had a theme in place. The three-game stretch, which included wins over Argentina and Canada, was designed to simulate a tournament setting and Hayes has spent much of the last week preaching a mindset of surviving and advancing, a sentiment that kicks into high gear when trophies are on the line.That framing was inadvertently a perfect lens to view the USWNT’s hard-fought 1-0 win over Colombia on Saturday, Alyssa Thompson’s 82nd-minute goal ensuring they would lift…
