  That's according to Dell Technologies CEO and founder Michael Dell, who recently shared his thoughts on dealing in crises on the " David Senra " podcast.  Dell Technologies has faced its fair share of crises in its 40-year existence. The   dot-com bubble burst , the   2008 financial crisis , and the   rise of mobile technology   all challenged the technology company. There have been good times, too. During those periods, a leader shouldn't act differently, Dell said on the podcast. Dell shared one of his leadership mantras: "If you don't have a crisis, make one." "We have to change or we're going to go out of business," Dell said. "You get people excited, motivated, and to drive the necessary change." Being adaptive is a question of leadership, Dell said. He said asked questions like: "How do you organize the team and people to actually go and get this thing done. How do you motivate them? How do you give them the right to...

SpaceX’s luck appears to be turning, as the company notched a second straight   successful test flight   of the Starship launch system — the most powerful rocket ever constructed — on Monday evening. The test mission, which kicked off around 7:23 p.m. ET at SpaceX’s facilities in South Texas, marked the final showing for Starship Version 2, or V2, which SpaceX will now retire in favor of another, slightly larger and more powerful prototype called Version 3. The V2 test campaign began in January and was marked by a string of explosive, in-flight failures — with one vehicle exploding during a ground test and three others erupting into flames mid-flight — followed by a surprising redemption arc. Despite recent successes, however, SpaceX has a long way to go before Starship is ready to set out on an operational mission. And the plans for this vehicle are nothing less than transformational: SpaceX CEO Elon wants Starship to carry humans to Mars for the first time. NASA also plans t...

Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched its 11th Starship rocket from Texas on Monday and landed it in the Indian Ocean, the last flight before the company begins test-launching a new version of the giant rocket outfitted with more features for moon and Mars missions. Starship, which includes the Starship upper stage stacked atop its Super Heavy booster, launched at 6:23 p.m. CT from SpaceX’s Starbase facilities. After sending the Starship stage to space, Super Heavy returned for a soft water landing in the Gulf of Mexico roughly 10 minutes after liftoff. Its last mission, in August, ended a streak of testing failures earlier this year. Monday’s flight was similar to the previous one, again deploying a batch of mock Starlink satellites, briefly re-lighting its engines in space and testing new heat shield tiles during its blazing hot return from space before splashing down west of Australia. Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy said on X the mission was “another major step toward landing Americans ...

  Toyota  is initiating a  recall  of nearly 400,000 vehicles due to a potentially faulty rearview camera system. The recall specifically targets 2022-2025 Toyota Tundras and Tundra hybrids, alongside 2023-2025 Sequoia hybrids. The camera display malfunction is caused by a software problem, which could prevent the display from showing when reversing, elevating accident risk. The issue will be resolved with a free software update performed by dealerships. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed by 16 November, and owners can contact Toyota customer service or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for details.

  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued multiple recalls for vehicles last week, including notices for  nearly 400,000 Toyota vehicles . Are you looking to see if recalls have been issued on your vehicle? Owners can check  USA TODAY's automotive recall database  or search  NHTSA's database  for new recalls. The NHTSA website also allows you to search for recalls by your vehicle identification number, or VIN. Here's what you need to know about the vehicle recalls published by  NHTSA  from Oct. 6 to Oct. 12: Toyota recalled certain vehicles as a software error may cause the rearview image not to display when the they are placed in reverse. The recall covers certain 2022-2025 Tundra, Tundra Hybrid, and 2023-2025 Sequoia Hybrid vehicles. The error occurs after camera data processing becomes unsynchronized when the camera view is changed. The display can show a half green, full green or full black screen,  according t...

With hackers targeting outdated systems, PC users need to act quickly to avoid malware attacks that could put their data at risk While PCs compatible with Windows 11 can upgrade for free, some older devices may not have the specifications needed to make the switch. Those Windows 10 computers will stop receiving vital security updates unless users take action. Below, we unpack what our survey found and outline the steps you can take to keep your computer secure. Support for Windows 10 is ending on 14 October 2025, but a Which? survey suggests millions of people in the UK are still using it – and many plan to carry on after updates stop.

There is a big change coming for many people who use Windows computers.  Microsoft is ending support for its Windows 10 operating system, which means that after Tuesday 14 October, these computers may be at risk. is is because security updates will stop, making devices more vulnerable to attack. Microsoft is encouraging people to upgrade for free to Windows 11 - but not all computers will be able to do that. "The end of support for Windows 10 is shaping up to be a disaster for both consumers and the environment," said Nathan Proctor, senior director at US consumer group PIRG. Who is affected? Windows is the world's most popular computer operating system, with Microsoft saying it is used on over 1.4 billion devices around the globe. Around 43% of these were using Windows 10 in July 2025,  according to Statcounter . In the UK, consumer guide Which? estimates there could be 21 million people still using Windows 10. In September,  it ran a survey  which found about a qua...

  Apple   is quietly orchestrating its most significant leadership transition in more than a decade, and at the center of succession planning sits   John Ternus , the company’s 50-year-old senior vice president of hardware engineering. As   Tim Cook   approaches his 65th birthday next month, industry observers and Apple insiders increasingly view Ternus as the most likely candidate to inherit the reins of one of the world’s most valuable technology companies, according to a   new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman , who has   reported accurately on Apple for years   thanks to sources deep within the company. The speculation intensified after Apple’s chief operating officer Jeff Williams, once considered Cook’s natural successor,  stepped down from operational responsibilities in July  and will leave the company by year’s end. With Williams out of contention, Gurman says Ternus has emerged as “the most likely heir apparent.” Ternus bring...

Pokémon GO has always focused on local co-op play. Even though there are now options like remote raids to play together from a distance, the emphasis is still on the personal component, as the director of Pokémon GO explained in summer . Nevertheless, there will now be a new way to perform an activity with friends and be rewarded for it. This applies to both local friends and friends who live far away from you. When is the feature coming? The weekly challenges are a new feature that will be introduced in Pokémon GO on Monday, October 13, 2025, at 3:00 AM. You will find it in the “Groups” tab, which will replace the current “Team” tab. Click on your avatar’s image on the map to find the new tab. How does it work? Every Monday at 2:00 AM, you will have the opportunity to complete a new weekly challenge. You have 7 days to complete the challenge together with up to 3 friends. The friends in your group do not need to be local. If you have a group, you must complete a task together. As an ...

Pokémon Go's big week where it finally raises the game's level cap is off to a bad start. This morning, the game's first ever Weekly Challenge went live — a new feature tasking fans with forming a group of four players to, this week, catch 500 creatures in return for rewards. But the new gameplay feature has been pulled after just a couple of hours, as eager fans who completed the goal quickly reported finding their games suddenly "bricked," and unresponsive. Even with the feature disabled, Pokémon Go players impacted by the bug say they remain unable to play — suggesting a more meaningful fix now needs to be rolled out. And all of this comes less than 48 hours before Pokémon Go's huge level 80 update is switched on — something fans are now concerned may end up delayed. In a statement posted to the game's Niantic Support account on X just minutes ago, the developer admitted it had disabled the new Weekly Challenge feature, as it had become "aware of ...

Calls for the United States to return astronauts to the moon before the end of the decade have been increasingly loud and frequent, emanating from bipartisan lawmakers and science advocates alike. But underlying that drumbeat is a quagmire of epic proportions. NASA plans to use SpaceX’s Starship — the largest rocket system ever constructed — for a key portion of the lunar journey, yet it’s still unclear whether the vehicle will work. And a fierce competitor is nipping at the agency’s heels. “The China National Space Administration will almost certainly walk on the moon in the next five years,” Bill Nye, the entertainer of “Science Guy” fame and CEO of the nonprofit exploration advocacy group The Planetary Society,  said  during a recent demonstration against the Trump Administration’s plans to  cut science funding . “This is a turning point. This is a key point in this history of space exploration.” Starship is still in the nascent stages of a long and laborious developme...
