[The Morning After]( Now available on your smart speaker and wherever you get your podcasts [Apple Podcasts]( | [Spotify]( | [Google Play]( | [iHeart Radio]( It's Monday, July 11, 2022. A trove of leaked documents has shed an unfavorable light on the early days of Uber. Dubbed the [Uber Files]( the leak covers 2013 to 2017 and includes roughly 124,000 internal company documents and 83,000 emails. In 2016, Kalanick reportedly ordered French employees to encourage local Uber drivers to counter-protest the taxi strikes in Paris at the time. When one executive warned Kalanick that “extreme right thugs” were part of the protest, the former CEO pushed back. He said: “Violence guarantee[s] success. And these guys must be resisted, no?” In a statement published by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), Travis Kalanick’s spokesperson said any suggestion that the former executive “directed, engaged in, or was involved” in “illegal or improper conduct” is “completely false.” There’s an awful lot more coming to the surface, expect even more bad headlines for Uber. — Mat Smith The biggest stories you might have missed - [Ford recalls 100,000 hybrid vehicles over fire risk]( - [Rogers restores service following Canada-wide internet outage]( - [Great, there's a buy now, pay later service for NFTs]( - [Hitman 3's free Ambrose Island DLC arrives on July 26th]( - [Apple's 10.2-inch iPad is back on sale for $299]( - [Hitting the Books: Modern social media has made misinformation so, so much worse]( [Elon Musk is officially trying to kill his Twitter takeover]( Twitter's board said it was prepared to take Musk to court to keep the deal in place.

[[TMA] Engadget]( Bowers & Wilkins might be a name many associate with high-end home audio gear, but the company has been steadily chugging along with headphones, too.

[[TMA] NASA]( Nearly two years ago, NASA made history when its OSIRIS-REx spacecraft briefly tagged the asteroid known as 101955 Bennu to collect a regolith sample. While the mission won’t return to Earth until late next year, NASA shared new information about the celestial body. "It turns out that the particles making up Bennu’s exterior are so loosely packed and lightly bound to each other that if a person were to step on to Bennu they would feel very little resistance, as if stepping into a pit of plastic balls that are popular play areas for kids," NASA said.
