Fjällräven’s hiking pants—er, sorry, trousers—are legendary, and having now spent most of spring in a pair of these Abisko Trail trousers, I understand why. If Dad is a hiker, or spends any time at all outdoors, these are a great gift.They’re light but surprisingly warm and especially good at blocking the wind. The G-1000 Lite Stretch recycled fabric gives you nice, stretchy freedom of movement, and having had Lyme disease already, the ability to cinch down the leg cuffs and keep things out is invaluable. (I’ve also put a good bit of repellent on the fabric with no staining or…

A Handheld vacuum may not be the most essential household appliance, but they sure are convenient. You don’t have to mess with heavy, cumbersome (and expensive) vacuums that require a plug-in and hazardous cords. Sure, there are cordless vacs to mitigate this problem, but those are also large and can be expensive. The handheld vacuum—compact, lightweight, and inexpensive—has come a long way in recent years. As vac technology keeps improving, handhelds are becoming more powerful and lightweight.Kid spilled her Cheerios on the floor? Pet hair on your favorite reading chair? Need to spot-clean your car seats? The handheld vacuum’s got…

Elon Musk will not be fully exiting the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—and its activities are only intensifying. On Friday, President Donald Trump threw cold water on the idea that Musk would fully disappear from DOGE and the White House forever. “Elon’s really not leaving,” Trump said in a joint press conference with Musk in the Oval Office. “He’s gonna be back and forth. It’s his baby, he’s going to be doing a lot of things.”“I expect to continue to provide advice,” Musk, wearing a black hat with DOGE written on it and a black shirt reading “DOGEFATHER,” said…

With Elon Musk and other leaders of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) purportedly on their way out, WIRED spoke with a fired DOGE staffer about his experience, how the group communicates, who appears to be in charge—and what might be coming next.Earlier this week, Sahil Lavingia published a blog post on his personal website detailing his 55-day stint within DOGE.

WIREDTIREDShort prep times. Meals that appeal to most people. Grocery options. Mostly paper, without tons of plastic packaging.Limited options for vegans weekly. Produce arrived on the decline and was not always organic.Besides Purple Carrot, Sunbasket was my favorite of the vegan meal kits I tested. Sunbasket has both premade, heat-’n’-eat meals and meal kits that you need to prepare, along with marketplace items you could buy from the grocery store, like fish and bread. Most weeks there are only two to three vegan dinner options, so this isn’t going to be a meal plan that vegans can eat all week,…

The hypothetical scenarios the researchers presented Opus 4 with that elicited the whistleblowing behavior involved many human lives at stake and absolutely unambiguous wrongdoing, Bowman says. A typical example would be Claude finding out that a chemical plant knowingly allowed a toxic leak to continue, causing severe illness for thousands of people—just to avoid a minor financial loss that quarter.It’s strange, but it’s also exactly the kind of thought experiment that AI safety researchers love to dissect. If a model detects behavior that could harm hundreds, if not thousands, of people—should it blow the whistle?“I don’t trust Claude to have…

Nancy Mace, the South Carolina Republican congresswoman, often tells her staff that she’s a self-taught coder—just one aspect of how Mace presents her tech expertise, as befits her role in shaping the GOP’s policies on technology and work as chair of the House subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation.“I would say [it was] at least a weekly comment, if not daily,” says one of several former Mace staffers who spoke with WIRED. Another found her high regard for her skills somewhat at odds with her demonstrated ability. (Like all the staffers WIRED spoke with, they requested anonymity because…

Trump Media and Technology Group, a publicly traded company in which US president Donald Trump and his family own a majority stake, has raised $2.5 billion to accumulate a “bitcoin treasury.”On Monday, in response to a report by the Financial Times, TMTG initially denied contemplating any such maneuver. “The Financial Times has dumb writers listening to even dumber sources,” the company reportedly said. But Trump Media and Technology Group appears to have since changed its tune.In a press release on Tuesday, TMTG confirmed that it has agreed to sell $1.5 billion worth of equity and take on a further $1…
