Ford is promising to deliver an EV truck next year that starts at $30,000 and can compete with Chinese automakers without undermining profit margins. A combination of 3D-printed Lego-like parts, Formula 1 thinking, and a bounty program will help the company hit that target, Ford said Tuesday.  It will have to. Ford took a $19.5 billion hit in December and ended production of its battery-electric F-150 Lightning. It can’t afford for this new EV business strategy to fall flat.  Ford’s bet on a line of affordable EVs began several years ago with a skunkworks team led by Alan Clarke, a…

Bold yet endlessly adaptable, the spotted pattern has become a street style staple, something made unmistakably clear through this New York Fashion Week. Spotted on Vogue editors hustling between shows, as well as industry insiders and models off-duty alike, leopard-print coats were everywhere—and in all iterations (faux, long, cropped, even ladylike!) Equal parts bold and timeless, the outerwear staple is a reminder that cats do, in fact, rule the world. (Sorry, dogues.)Vogue’s Top Leopard-Print Picks:On the spring runways, designers also helped sharpen…

There isn’t a ton of evidence to suggest that the introduction of AI has led to significant job losses, yet. But it has led to a significant amount of talk about job losses, and that appears to be taking a real toll on people. According to research published in the journal Cureus and spotted by Futurism, workers are increasingly suffering from distress caused by the constant fear of being replaced, and it’s gotten so bad that it needs its own term. The researchers propose calling this new, modern anxiety “AI replacement dysfunction” or AIRD. The authors define it as a…

We independently select these products—if you buy from one of our links, we may earn a commission.

I wanted to surround myself with. This had really practical applications — like making me far better equipped to let go of what no longer fit in with the actual life I was living with my family. This came at a good time because by the age of 40, I’d accumulated a lot of…

Texas is suing Wi-Fi router maker TP-Link for deceptively marketing the security of its products and allowing Chinese hacking groups to access Americans’ devices, Attorney General Ken Paxton has announced. Paxton originally started looking into TP-Link in October 2025. Texas Governor Greg Abbott later prohibited state employees from using TP-Link products in January of this year.TP-Link is no longer owned by a Chinese company and its products are assembled in Vietnam, but Paxton’s lawsuit claims that because the company’s “ownership and supply-chain are tied to China” it’s subject to the country’s data laws, which require companies to comply with requests…
