What Dell is telling employees as Iran threatens to strike US companies in the Middle East
NEWS | 04 April 2026
Dell has told employees not to travel to the Middle East for work until mid-April, and advised staff based in the region to work from home, after Iran threatened to strike US businesses. The company said employees should not travel to, from, or transit through Israel, Lebanon, or the Middle East region (Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE) for work. "Transit includes layovers and connections in the impacted-do not travel region," the document said. While many incoming threats have been intercepted, the situation has disrupted travel and raised concerns for multinational companies with employees and assets in the region. The US government has urged its citizens in the region to leave, and many companies with operations, employees, and clients in the region have issued similar guidance to Dell.

Uber CEO says some drivers use Tesla's Full Self-Driving
NEWS | 04 April 2026
Some Uber drivers are letting an AI do part of the job — and the CEO's OK with it. In an interview on Peter Diamandis' Moonshots podcast published Tuesday, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said that some drivers on the Uber network use Tesla's Full Self-Driving, an AI-powered, advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) that enables hands-free driving under human supervision. Reuters reported in 2024 that some drivers on the Uber and Lyft platforms used FSD, citing one case in which an Uber driver crashed into an SUV while FSD was activated. Khosrowshahi said that he'd welcome Tesla's robotaxis on the Uber platform once the EV maker's cameras-only approach is proven safe enough for full autonomy on the roads. "When the day comes when those Teslas are safe enough with a camera-only approach, we'd love to have those Teslas on our platform as well," the CEO said.

The controversial twist in A24's new movie 'The Drama' isn't the point — but it's all anyone wants to argue about
NEWS | 04 April 2026
"After finding out what Emma's secret is I don't think I'll watch it," one user wrote on Reddit, referring to Zendaya's character. But the way the internet has already reduced "The Drama" to its shocking twist misses the point entirely. Stories of romantic strife, adolescent cruelty, and cyber-bullying ensue, but Emma's reveal is a doozy. As his spiral continues, Charlie's reaction reveals just as much about him as Emma's secret does about her. In reality, "The Drama" is not a movie about gun violence or school shootings, because this dichotomy holds fast no matter what Emma's secret is.

I was over the moon, especially as it coincided with my engagement to my boyfriend, Ethan, 27, a diesel mechanic.

I upgraded to Amtrak's business class for $50. As nice as my 8-hour ride was, I'll probably stick with coach.
NEWS | 04 April 2026
Even when the time commitment looks bigger on paper (a four-hour flight versus an eight-hour train ride), it's often counteracted by all the annoying processes flying entails, from checking luggage to moving through security screenings. One of my most frequent train rides is aboard Amtrak's Pennsylvanian between my hometown in Western Pennsylvania and New York City, where I live now. On my most recent eight-hour trip to NYC, I upgraded my seat from coach to business class. My one-way ticket cost $235, about $50 more than coach. Prices widely vary, though, I've seen these business-class seats cost double coach or just $30 more.
