Nalden, who co-founded the file transfer service WeTransfer in 2009 along with Rinke Visser and Bas Beerens, is not pleased with the company’s direction after the service was acquired by Bending Spoon last year — and he doesn’t mince his words about it. “Bending Spoons doesn’t really care about people, and even though I get that it is their private equity strategy, I notice that since I left [WeTransfer] in 2019, there were a lot of updates that were basically killing the product, in my point of view,” he told TechCrunch. Post-acquisition, WeTransfer made a confusing move related to transfer…

The San Francisco 49ers haven’t lost since Brock Purdy returned from a toe injury that sidelined him for six games, winning all five of their contests with the 26-year-old back under center. The winning streak has given them a chance to secure the NFC West title for the third time in four years.In order to accomplish that feat, San Francisco (11-4) first must record its sixth consecutive victory when it hosts the NFC North champions Chicago Bears (11-4) at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Cal. at 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday Night Football. The 49ers, who already have clinched a…

Compare Our PicksOthers TestedCourtesy of Sakara LifeSakara Life; starts at $141 per week; up to $465 for specialty programs: This plant-based, gluten-free meal kit reminds me of what most people think when they think of “crunchy” vegan food—raw vegetables with an earthy taste. Nearly all meals in Sakara’s lineup are uncooked and preprepared—items like veggie burgers are without buns, lasagnas are “deconstructed.” For example, a “Lavender Quesadilla” has broccoli pesto and cashew “cheese” with hibiscus salsa … you get the idea. The menu is curated each week, and meals come in single servings. Sakara also has health supplements (which can…

This recipe for homemade udon noodles shows you how to make thick, chewy Japanese noodles from scratch using just a handful of pantry staples, including wheat flour, water, salt, and potato starch or cornstarch. Udon’s appeal lies in its texture: soft yet springy noodles with a mild flavor that happily soak up light, savory broths, glossy sauces, and stir-fry seasonings.Making homemade udon noodles is far more approachable than it sounds, and the payoff is real—fresh noodles with a bounce you can’t get from a package. Slip them into soup, toss them in a hot pan, or serve them cold with…

There’s a lot of walking tour companies in Paris. I’ve taken hundreds (I’ve reviewed my favorite tour companies in this post). Besides formal tours, there’s another thing I love to do in Paris: Airbnb Experiences. Airbnb Experiences are like the holy grail of tours: they are unique, off-the-beaten path, and run by locals who just want to share something they love. They aren’t cookie cutter walking tours or activities lead by a guide holding an umbrella. I absolutely love Airbnb Experiences. They are one of my favorite things to do in any city and, frankly, I don’t think nearly enough…

The ballyhoo that gathered around all the naked dressing at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival was, in hindsight, a little ironic. Yes, the red carpet that stretches along the Croisette is famed for its archaic dress code, leaving Bella Hadid, Dakota Johnson, et al at the mercy of prescriptivist film nerds for daring to participate in the sheer and sexy. But it was Cannes that first beamed the bikini (of all the non-black-tie-appropriate items) into the public consciousness.Brigitte Bardot in 1953.

They barely hit the streets of Austin this summer (and still aren’t free of human attendants), but there’s apparently been enough activity in Tesla Robotaxis that reports exist about the cost of making messes in them, from puke to spilled coffee to vape stink. While the fees don’t seem overly stringent on the face of it, there’s enough vagueness in these policies that you may want to second-guess bringing anything that might spill in one of these vehicles. According to InsideEVs and @sawyermerrit on X, Tesla can charge a rider $150 for what, according to Merritt, the company considers “severe…

I’m not saying it was an overnight thing—more like a ten-year process of discovery, rollercoaster style. One of those “strap yourself in, no brakes, no seatbelt, possibly no survival” rides. If I’m honest, the process is still unfolding, but with less “aaaaggggghhhhh” and more “oh.” Having mentally swapped Nemesis Inferno for It’s a Small World, I can now look back with deep compassion for that younger version of me at the start of perimenopause.  She was the one frantically Googling her way through a vortex of symptoms, never quite able to figure out whether it was a brain tumor or an underactive thyroid gland. It all…

The mania around data centers has a lot of companies looking to become “picks and shovels” providers, by building profitable businesses that are ancillary to the gold rush gigs of selling server access or training leading AI models. MayimFlow, the Built World stage winner at this year’s TechCrunch Disrupt, is a good example. The startup is focused on essentially one task: preventing damaging water leaks. Data centers use a lot of water, and that water can present a big risk, even if a leak is small. Founder John Khazraee told TechCrunch that many data centers only have reactive solutions for…
