Bolt Mobility, the Miami-based micromobility startup co-founded by Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt, appears to have vanished without a trace from several of its U.S. markets.

Keeping a Wordle streak alive is tough — and with only six tries to guess the daily answer, your choice of starting word is key. “ADIEU” is popular, since it includes four vowels, though game designer Tyler Glaiel suggests the mathematically optimal first guess is “ROATE,” which isn’t a word I’d heard of (Merriam-Webster informs me it’s an
Just days after the Pixel 6A’s launch, Google’s rolling out an update to fix an issue preventing users from unlocking the bootloader and performing mods, according to a report from Android Police. The change is bundled within the Pixel 6A’s first update, which Google just started releasing last week. In short, a bootloader is a
Just like consumer credit cards that provide rewards for spending on travel, gas stations, grocery stores or restaurants, business credit cards can also give back, usually for spending on categories like office supplies, advertising, phone service or other common business expenses.

While cash from Uncle Sam may not be top of mind for startups, SBA loans can provide low-cost capital Rebecca Szkutak 8 hours What’s the difference between a startup and a small business? Semantics, mostly. As many startups find themselves struggling to raise funds from venture capitalists as financing continues to decline this year, the
As the fintech venture market goes, so goes the venture market itself. Why? Because fintech investment has historically made up around one-fifth of every venture dollar invested — at least in recent years. And after both fintech investing and venture capital itself went a bit bonkers last year, both are dealing with a new, more conservative
Instant photo printers are sort of the quieter, less-cool sibling of instant cameras, but they’re arguably more practical.

Even though Leia Organa and Han Solo’s romance is a key element of the Star Wars saga, the movies only covered its shaky beginnings and bittersweet conclusion.

The Pixel 2 is an almost five-year-old phone, but it introduced a feature that I miss more and more with each passing year. It was called Active Edge, and it let you summon Google Assistant just by giving your phone a squeeze. In some ways, it’s an unusual idea. But it effectively gave you something
Google has a delightful new multiplayer Doodle that lets you play a game of pétanque online. If you haven’t heard of pétanque — I hadn’t before writing this article — it’s a game that’s kind of like bocce ball. The goal of pétanque is to throw your ball (the boule) as close as you can

Bootstrapped startups, or companies that use their own revenue or existing cash flow to fund growth instead of relying on external capital sources, sit in a very separate box than venture-backed startups. By nature of asset class, bootstrapped startups prioritize revenue to keep alive, while venture-backed startups prioritize growth to keep investor buy-in for future
Elden Ring is ridiculously huge and will take hundreds of hours to fully explore. That’s especially true of the dungeons in the game’s open world.

After spending a few weeks using the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, I’ve decided the tablet’s capabilities exceed its name. I mean, it is lighter on features and performance than the full-fledged Galaxy Tab S6, so in that sense it is a “lite” version. But the name does it a disservice, because I never really
Advertisement And that was it. A nice and necessary update, but it wasn’t the jailbreak many folks’d been hoping for, either. See you in another six months!

Like a groundhog and its shadow, many venture capitalists see a shrinking economy and burrow away, resting their check-signing hand for better days. But climate-focused VCs are on a tear lately, pumping well over a billion dollars per quarter into startups that strive to mitigate emissions as the Earth bakes. Buoyant Ventures is one such firm
