Methodology: I searched three websites The Verge and TechCrunch for tech news. I only include news that have research implication (as a reference or as an intervention). News selection is subjective. I skim the news. If the news falls on any categories (top down), it will stay there. All of the access dates are from May 2024 onwards.
