If you’re reading Gizmodo, odds are you’re aware Big Tech’s gotten itself into trouble before. But between brutal antitrust battles, a lengthening laundry list of lawsuits, and persistent privacy problems, even the most dogged observer can find it difficult to remember the contours of a specific scandal or pinpoint…
The American space agency is changing its plans or bringing samples from the red planet back to Earth.
A new study suggests that metformin, a widely used diabetes drug, could be dangerous for men to use if they’re planning to have children. The research found a higher risk of genital birth defects in boys whose fathers had likely been taking metformin in the three months prior to conception. More data will be needed to…
Death isn’t the end in the world of Dual. At least, not for the loved ones of the deceased. In the world of Dual, a person who knows their time is coming can commission a clone of themselves—someone to continue their life beyond death. But, on occasion, if the original doesn’t die, there’s only one way to settle it: a …
The “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” actor pulled no punches after Smith slapped Chris Rock at the awards ceremony.
If you thought it wouldn’t be long before Kia turned the Concept EV9 into a production model, you guessed correctly. The automaker has revealed that a road-ready version of the electric SUV will be available in Europe in 2023. There was no mention of launches in North America or other regions, but it’s an SUV — it may just be a matter of time before you see the EV9 cruising American and Canadian streets.
Kia didn’t say what would change in the transition from concept to production. However, we’d expect the badge to cut many of the more exotic features, including the yoke, giant wheels, retractable roof rails and lounge-like seating modes. We wouldn’t be surprised if Kia kept the 27-inch display and even the hood-mounted solar panel, though.
The production EV9 might also preserve the claimed specs. The concept promised up to 300 miles of range and 350kW fast charging that could take it from a 10 percent charge to 80 percent in 30 minutes. Kia also recently detailed autonomous “Automode” technology for the EV9 that can take over from the driver on the highway.
There are still important unknowns like pricing. Even so, the EV9 could be one of Kia’s most important all-electric vehicles to date, at least in some areas. While the EV6 has been well-received so far, some markets (particularly North America) skew heavily toward crossovers and SUVs. The EV9 could help Kia take on competitors like the Tesla Model Y and Volkswagen ID.4, not to mention reel in buyers who haven’t been thrilled by the Niro EV.
A year and a half after its debut on the iPhone 12, MagSafe may not have radically changed how we use our smartphones, but it remains a welcome upgrade for filmmakers and videographers as a secure and easy way to mount their iPhones to filmmaking gear like tripods.

Last year, DC Comics ran its first Round Robin tournament, which wasn’t about an eating contest between Batman’s various sidekicks (although I would definitely read a comic about that). Instead, it was a March Madness-style bracket where DC allowed fans to vote on which six-issue, digital-first series they wanted,…
Images gathered by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft in 2015 hinted at the presence of ice volcanoes on Pluto. A new analysis of the data suggests they’re actually a prominent feature of the dwarf planet, with the largest reaching over 4 miles high.
