Francesco Scognamiglio wanted to communicate a message of peace through his spring couture collection, given what he described as the “out of control situation of the world.” Christian symbolism was a strong leitmotif—he titled the collection The Resurrection. Another was his commitment to artisanal craftsmanship.The designer was personally involved in the making of some of the garments, including the opening look. A mid-length ivory-colored frock in a bouillonné technique, it recalled as one of the first creations his younger self ever attempted in the atelier.Religious iconography was apparent in many of the pieces, such as in the chiffon tunic framed…

Nintendo has had plenty of highs over its few decades in the video game industry. Popularizing home consoles with the NES, introducing new audiences to games through the Wii’s motion controls, and the touchscreen Trojan horse that was the Nintendo DS, to name a few. But often these successes were followed by missteps; the Wii sold 100 million units, while its follow-up, the Wii U, couldn’t even manage a quarter of that. But that precarity looks to change. The Switch is now Nintendo’s best-selling console ever, surpassing the DS with 155 million units sold since its debut in 2017. And…

But more than anything, the polish of the laptop’s design and the quality of its components are what make it feel on par with Apple. You can get it with either a 13.8- or 15-inch screen size. The smaller model has a slightly larger display than its predecessor (up from 13.5 inches) with thinner bezels and rounder corners. It’s brighter, too, and features a 120-Hz screen refresh rate, giving it an edge over the MacBook Air. Content looks vivid and sharp, even outdoors in broad daylight (but you’ll have to crank it up to about full brightness under direct sunlight).My…

The Trump administration’s approach to immigration has reached a level of violence that the tech industry cannot ignore. In 2026 so far, federal immigration agents have killed at least eight people, including at least two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis – Renee Good and Alex Pretti. As immigration enforcement has grown more extreme — even detaining school children seeking legal asylum – tech workers have called on their leaders to speak up. The tech industry has always been entwined in politics. Companies like Palantir, Clearview AI, Flock, and Paragon are contracted by U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and assist in the…

TikTok has largely recovered from a slight dip in active users in the days following its ownership change, when a group of American investors took control of the video app’s operations in the United States.

According to estimates from digital market intelligence firm Similarweb, TikTok saw usage dip into the range of 86-88 million daily active users in the U.S. immediately after the ownership change. That compares with a typical average of 92 million daily active…
