2025/06/20

Welcome to Longevity Lowdown. Today we ask: Do longevity drugs work? “As elixirs of life go, long-term fasting is a surprising candidate. Yet it seems to work.” Experiments on species from nematode worms to rhesus monkeys show that near-starvation prolongs lifespan, and “short-term ones suggest similar physiological changes happen” in humans. Drugs promise an easier route. Rapamycin, an immune suppressant, blocks a key growth pathway and has extended mouse lifespans by up to 25 percent

Welcome to today’s show. David and Jake are joined by Dominic Preston to unpack Trump Mobile. They warn that while launching a carrier is “easy” and can be lucrative, Trump Mobile is “a pretty bad deal.” The promised $500, “made-in-America,” “coming-soon device” may not even exist. We dive into the rise of MVNOs, debate what “made in the USA” really means, and ask if there’s any redeeming quality behind this obvious grift. Next, TV is dying faster than anyone expected.

Welcome to today’s episode. Have you ever noticed how your vocabulary seems to shift when you jump on a Zoom call or watch a lecture online? Researchers at the Max Planck Institute have found that since ChatGPT launched, words like “meticulous,” “delve,” “realm,” and “adept” are up to 51 percent more common in academic videos. One lead author even warns, “Delve is only the tip of the iceberg.” But it’s not just word choice. AI is shaping tone, favoring longer, more structured speech with

2025/06/20

Looking to climb hills with minimal pedal power? One option is to buy a new ebike. But with reliable models starting at $1,200, it’s tempting to convert your own ride. As WIRED explains, you can “slap an aftermarket unit on your traditional bike,” turning it into an ebike with pedal-assist, throttle, or both. Pedal-assist uses cadence or torque sensors to “kick on” as you pedal, while throttle kits, like motorcycle grips, deliver instant power without pedaling. Easy “treadmill” style

2025/06/20

Welcome back to Tech Brief. Today, Cloudflare’s CEO Matthew Prince sounds the alarm on the widening gap between Google’s crawling and real traffic to publishers’ sites. Ten years ago, Google crawled two pages for every visitor it sent along. Six months ago it was six to one. Now it’s eighteen to one. That means search bots are pulling down more content than ever, while human readers aren’t clicking through. As Christine Wang at Axios puts it, “publishers face an existential threat in the AI

Welcome back to Retro Tech Minute. Today we’ve got a real surprise for vintage Mac fans. Imagine finding a 1987 Macintosh SE case at a garage sale—only to discover it had been gutted and painted to become an aquarium. That’s exactly what happened to Duncan Hall, but instead of fish, he filled it with a Dell XPS Core i7 laptop motherboard and called the result the “PhoeNIX SE.” Duncan swapped the old monochrome CRT for a 9.7-inch LCD mounted on custom 3D-printed brackets. He even kept two

Hello everyone, and welcome to this week’s tech update. I’m your host, Sarah Lee.

Right now on Android, there’s a simple toggle for earthquakes above magnitude 4.5. Samsung’s version, spotted by Galaxy Techie, lets you customize that threshold anywhere from a barely noticeable magnitude 1.0 up to a more significant 4.0. You can even “preview
