In the years before Roe v. Wade, an anonymous group of Chicago-area women known only as The Janes came together to provide safe, clandestine abortions to pregnant people in need. Over the course of several years, the group provided over 11,000 abortions. when they were finally busted by the police in 1972, it wasn’t because of police surveillance or the group’s anti-war activism or even their willingness to provide abortions to the pregnant family members of police officers. It was a family member of a Jane patient who tipped off the police.

“Some nosey bitch tried to snitch on someone who needed an abortion,” says Renee Bracey Sherman, founder and executive director of the abortion storytelling organization We Testify.

Fifty years later, the threat that took down The Janes still looms large for people seeking abortion under criminalization. While activists rightly warn about text messages, browser history, and other digital evidence trails, it’s low-tech — and human — security breaches that often pose the greatest risk.

“The biggest threat to the privacy of abortion seekers is other people,” says Laura Huss, a senior researcher at If/When/How, a legal organization dedicated to protecting the rights of abortion patients. “People’s private information — like what they search for on the internet or text messages that they’ve sent to others — have come into evidence in cases where people have been charged with a crime for

Rolls-Royce revealed its first all-electric vehicle, the 2024 Specter, an ultra-luxury coupe with an estimated 260 miles of range and a price tag that is sure to make even the wealthiest choke on their tea. For those who can afford it, the Specter is expected to make its first customer deliveries starting in late 2023.

The Specter marks the first step toward a fully electrified Rolls-Royce lineup, which the company has said it will achieve by 2030. That stands in contrast to the company’s parent company, BMW, which has yet to declare when it expects to transition to 100 percent EV sales. (Mini, another BMW-owned brand, has also said it would be all-electric by the end of the decade.)

In some respects, the Specter is not unlike other luxury coupes from Rolls-Royce: long hood, sleek roofline, pillarless doors — all familiar designs. But a quick glance under the surface reveals the Specter to be unique among the storied British automaker’s lineup thanks to its lithium-ion battery-powered architecture.

But this is more of a design announcement than a full accounting of the Specter’s underlying power train. Rolls-Royce says that most of the relevant specifications, including range, acceleration, and battery capacity, are still “being refined” and that more details will emerge at a later date.

Rolls-Royce also didn’t divulge the price of the Specter but did confirm that it would slot somewhere in between the Cullinan SUV (which starts at

Like many other first-gen devices, the Google Pixel Watch has a lot of quirks. So far, early users have reported that the watch dramatically overreported calorie burn due to a bug. According to Android Police, the Pixel Watch team is aware of the issue and suggests rebooting the device could fix the problem. That said, it’s an apt reminder that calorie burn isn’t a reliable metric.

In the Pixel Watch’s case, the bug appears to have impacted how a user’s basal metabolic rate was calculated. Basal metabolic rate, or BMR, is essentially the number of calories you burn every day simply existing. It’s calculated based on factors like your age, weight, sex, and height. If you put in the wrong data, you’re going to get the wrong calorie burn. According to Android PoliceFitbit’s software was starting off with incorrect user data, which was then fixed when the device was rebooted.

That’s annoying but it’s ultimately not that serious. That’s because you should never trust any wearable device to give you accurate calorie burn.

For starters, no two wearable makers use the same algorithm in determining how many calories you burn during exercise. They each use proprietary algorithms that consider factors like heart rate, accelerometer data, and your BMR. Different workouts will exercise different muscle groups, which will also impact calorie burn — hence why these devices have multiple sport profiles for tracking activity. For example,
