  • DJI Neo 2 Leaks: First Images, Key Features, Prices and Release Date
    October 24, 2025, 10:38 AM EDT. DJI's next-gen drone, the DJI Neo 2, has leaked ahead of the official reveal, with early images and specs surfacing from a Russian leak and social teasers. The report teases an updated camera with a likely sensor from the Mini 5, a 2-axis stabilization, and new safety features including infrared lidar sensors. Improvements include quieter propellers, an upgraded battery delivering about 19 minutes of flight, and a refreshed design on top. The drone reportedly supports a broader transceiver for wider applications, plus an upwards/backwards camera for safer flights and smarter returns. DJI teased an October 30 launch, suggesting this could be one of the company's last U.S. FCC filings for a new model. Pricing details are circulating but remain unconfirmed.
  • Why AI Giants Keep Axing Tech Jobs: Trends in AI Layoffs
    October 24, 2025, 10:36 AM EDT. Major AI giants are trimming tech jobs as they recalibrate for shifting demand, rising costs, and a push toward operational efficiency. In quarterly reviews, executives cite profitability targets and streamlining projects, resulting in layoffs across engineering, data science, and product teams. Some companies preserve core AI research while reducing less central roles, and others pause hiring to reallocate talent to cloud services, deployment, and inference optimization. The trend signals a tighter tech job market and greater emphasis on scalable AI platforms over broad headcount growth. For workers, this means intensified competition, potential upskilling, and reconsideration of compensation expectations. The net effect could reshape the industry's talent landscape through year-end, with consolidation and a shift toward value-driven AI initiatives.
  • Tag Heuer and New Balance Unveil Co-Branded Connected Calibre E5 Smartwatch and FuelCell SuperComp Elite v5 Running Shoe
    October 24, 2025, 10:34 AM EDT. Tag Heuer and New Balance unveil a limited collaboration pairing the Connected Calibre E5 smartwatch with the FuelCell SuperComp Elite v5 running shoe. The 40mm, DLC-coated titanium watch packs GPS, heart-rate, and blood-oxygen sensing on TAG Heuer's OS, plus six NB-coached training programs that let athletes train without a phone. Aesthetically, violet and green accents and a Cushion Comfort System strap knit the pair together. The shoe uses a full-length carbon plate within PEBA foam for energy return, an 8mm drop, and a responsive rocker geometry. Campaign star Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone headlines the launch. Pricing sits at about $2,500 for the watch and $270 for the shoe, with limited availability worldwide through TAG Heuer and NB channels.
  • Gilmour Space eyes 2nd orbital launch in 2026 after first Eris test in Australia
    October 24, 2025, 10:32 AM EDT. Australian space startup Gilmour Space is targeting a second orbital attempt in 2026 after its first Eris rocket reached liftoff but fell back after just 14 seconds from the Bowen Orbital Spaceport in Queensland. CEO and co-founder Adam Gilmour said the TestFlight1 mission yielded valuable data and noted that rockets often require multiple tries to reach orbit. The company navigated years of engineering, financing, and regulatory hurdles, securing environmental and airspace approvals and dozens of permits. With infrastructure in place and regulators engaged, Gilmour Space is plotting a return to flight next year and envisions a growing Australian space sector with several operational satellites and multiple launch attempts in the near future.
  • Tesla's Mad Max Self-Driving Mode Pushes Speed Limits, Sparking Safety Debate
    October 24, 2025, 10:28 AM EDT. Tesla's new Mad Max mode for its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system is drawing attention for letting vehicles hit highway speeds well above the posted limits. After updating to FSD v14.1.2, enthusiasts say the mode can push cars to around 85 mph on freeways, even where the limit is 65 mph. Critics warn that, unlike a true autonomous system, this setting still requires the driver to remain attentive, creating safety and legal risks. Tesla previously offered Mad Max as part of its earlier Autopilot feature, but it's now part of FSD with higher speeds and more frequent lane changes. Tesla notes that the driver profile influences behavior; the more assertive profile, the higher the max speed, prompting ongoing policy and safety discussions.
