Mr.Mikla/Shutterstock It wasn't too long ago that Apple really had only one operating system for both its smartphones and tablets. The birth of iPadOS — which is still based on iOS, of course — ushered in a new era for the company's tablets, turning iPads into the computing behemoths that they are today. For all intents and purposes, iPadOS is iOS with a different skin and its own set of features, and no one probably begrudged how the two are closely tied together. For some

Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler defeated fellow top House Democrat Carolyn Maloney in New York's 12th Congressional District. The race stakes:
Two Democratic heavyweights duked it out in Upper Manhattan — and only one survived for another term in the House. Maloney, 76, and Nadler, 75, have both represented New York City in Congress for nearly 30 years, since 1993.

After Twitter's former security chief filed a series of whistleblower complaints, legal experts told Insider that they're unlikely to be the silver bullet Elon Musk is looking for in his legal battle against Twitter — but they could convince the social media company to let him pay to walk away.
I break that down (and more) below. Let's get to it.

Bentley In a recent interview with Automotive News, Bentley's CEO Adrian Hallmark confirmed the inevitable: an electric Bentley was on the way soon. With many other VW Group brands already featuring electric cars in their lineup, it seemed only a matter of time until the Crewe-based manufacturer joined the club. If the recent success of fellow VW stablemate Porsche's Taycan is anything to go by, it seems likely that an EV would have the potential to significantly boost Bentley's

US Markets Loading... H M S I rented a Tesla through car-sharing app Turo, and would absolutely rent a car through the site again. Jordan Erb/Insider I rented a Tesla through Turo, a car-sharing app that's basically the Airbnb of the car world. It was simple and convenient to use, and I would absolutely rent another car through the site. But some quirks, like the "young driver fee" — for a 25-year-old — were less than ideal. Earlier this month, I us

Roman Korotkov/Shutterstock Ever since robots were first introduced in Karel Čapek's 1920 play "Rossum's Universal Robots," we've imagined them as being nearly indistinguishable from biological life. Fiction is filled with all manner of robots behaving like humans and non-human animals, sometimes taking the place of loved ones, co-workers, or beloved pets. It turns out, however, that using technology to duplicate what nature has perfected through evolution is easier said than done

noisuk Photo/Shutterstock Air is valuable in space, as in order for astronauts to explore its vastness, it's a necessity. Currently, air is supplied to astronauts through the process of electrolysis of water. Since water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, it's possible through electrolysis to separate this bond and isolate the oxygen gas (via NASA). Water is inexpensive to send up to astronauts, relative to tanks of air. Those are also provided, but the main method of air productio

Dominik Belica/Shutterstock Since 2020, the minimalistic social media app BeReal has grown in popularity — largely among young, college-aged adults — by simplifying its focus down to exactly two minutes of each day during which its users are able to post images taken at that exact moment, showcasing monotony rather than glam. In this sense, BeReal has been able to capture a certain degree of authenticity not often seen in apps like Instagram or TikTok, where users are able t

Suphakit Bunsan/Shutterstock There are some things about Han Lue's Mazda RX-7 in "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" that are probably more jaw-dropping than its already striking aesthetics. Aside from Dom Toretto's first racing ace, Han's iconic ride is easily among the most impactful RX-7 appearances in the long-running franchise. Debuting in 1991, the RX-7 FD was not only the last generation of Mazda's legendary lineup, but it was also its best iteration (via Mazda). Acto
