Why California is suing ExxonMobil for ‘perpetuating the lie’ of plastic recycling

California is going after ExxonMobil over what it calls a “campaign of deception” about plastic recycling. The Golden State filed suit against the oil giant this week, alleging that it has misled consumers for years by marketing recycling as a way to prevent plastic pollution. Plastic is difficult and relatively costly to recycle, and very little of it ever gets rehashed, but the industry sold recycling as a feasible solution anyway. That’s why California wants to hold ExxonMobil accountable for the role it says the company played in filling landfills and waterways with plastic. Plastics are made with fossil fuels, and California says ExxonMobil is the biggest producer of single-use plastic polymers.

Nintendo Japan plans to stop repairing its Classic Edition consoles

Somehow, Nintendo’s NES Classic Edition console is already almost eight years old, while the Super Nintendo Classic Edition is about to turn seven. That’s apparently old enough for Nintendo to announce that the Japanese versions of the consoles the Nintendo Classic Mini Family Computer and the Nintendo Classic Mini Super Famicom will no longer be eligible for repair once Nintendo Japan’s current stock of parts runs out.That doesn’t mean that if you wake up tomorrow morning with a mini Famicom that won’t boot you’re out of luck. Nintendo Japan will continue to accept repairs but is warning users that it doesn’t have a definitive timeline for how long that will be the case. Nintendo Japan announced its plan to end repairs of the

Suunto’s new bone conduction headphones are up to $30 off right now

I’m a big fan of noise-canceling earbuds in most situations, but when it comes to running, I’ve always preferred something that doesn’t drown out the sound of approaching cars, dogs, and other obstacles. Luckily, if you’re in the same camp as me, Suunto’s new Sonic headphones are on sale at Amazon and direct from Suunto for $129 ($20 off). You can also pick up the Suunto Wing which come with a power bank and a few extra features from Amazon and Suunto for $169 ($30 off).Although they’re pricier than other pairs of open-ear headphones, namely those from Shokz, both the Suunto Sonic and Wing use the same bone conduction tech to send sound vibrations through your cheekbones instead of your ear canal. They aren’t going to rival the

The DOJ sues Visa for locking out rival payment platforms

The Department of Justice has filed an antitrust lawsuit against Visa, alleging that the financial services firm has an illegal monopoly over debit network markets and has attempted to unlawfully crush competitors, including fintech companies like PayPal and Square. The lawsuit, which was first rumored by Bloomberg, follows a multiyear investigation of Visa, which the company disclosed in 2021.“We allege that Visa has unlawfully amassed the power to extract fees that far exceed what it could charge in a competitive market,” US Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement. “Merchants and banks pass along those costs to consumers, either by raising prices or reducing quality or service. As a result, Visa’s unlawful conduct affects

The Daily, The Ezra Klein Show, Hard Fork, and Modern Love are some of The New York Times’ most popular podcasts and next month, only the most recent two or three episodes of each show will be free of charge. The Times announced today that it’ll now offer a podcast subscription service through Spotify and Apple for $6 a month, or $50 per year, but it’s also erecting a paywall for all archived episodes.While The New York Times says “the most recent episodes of most of our shows” will remain free, Axios reports that, in most cases, that means the most recent two episodes will be freely accessible; in the case of The Daily, it will offer three episodes at no cost. To access additional episodes, you can buy a subscription through
