The decision was made following a review of “country-specific” conditions

Food delivery service Deliveroo will cease operations in Singapore after Mar 4.

In a statement on its website today (Feb 25), the platform said that it was exiting the market and would begin an orderly wind-down process.

“This is a difficult decision and follows a review of country-specific conditions, and our focus on investing where we see the clearest path to sustainable scale and long-term leadership,” said the statement.

The company added that it would “work closely” with local teams to support customers, partners and riders through the transition.

It will also exit three other markets

Deliveroo first launched in Singapore back in Nov 2015.

According to the company, the exit was part of a broader review of the company’s international portfolio.

Apart from Singapore, its parent company, DoorDash, said in a separate press release that it will cease operations in three other markets: Qatar, Japan, and Uzbekistan.

It is also implementing limited operational changes in select locations, including investing in certain engineering roles in the United Kingdom.

DoorDash acquired Deliveroo in May 2025, in a deal valued at US$3.85 billion. The move was aimed at helping DoorDash grow its market share in Europe, competing against Just Eat and Uber Eats. Britain, Ireland, France and Italy are among Deliveroo’s major markets.

Vulcan Post has reached out to both Deliveroo and DoorDash for comments.

But in the worst worst-case scenario, we don’t have any control. Instead, the station will crack through the atmosphere. Sure, many pieces will likely end up in the ocean, but some might hit people, possibly in a town or a city. The station could break apart across thousands of miles and multiple continents. This would be exceedingly hard to anticipate. As NASA puts it, “Calculating the probability of this penetration cascading into loss of deorbit capability has a very large range of variables, making predictions ineffective.”

This almost certainly won’t happen to the ISS. At the same time, it’s a far more extreme version of the only way an American space station has ever come down. In 1979, after years spent vacant in orbit, Skylab, the US’s first space station, started sinking toward the atmosphere, where it threatened to fall and drop molten spacecraft parts on Earth. At that point, NASA officials had to remotely wake up its computers and, with only limited control of the station, direct it over a location that would endanger the fewest humans.

In the months before, space agency officials were in frequent contact with the State Department, which disseminated the latest predicted trajectories to embassies across the world. In these situations, oops doesn’t cut it: When one of the Salyuts, a Soviet space station model, was deorbited a few decades ago, flaming bits were littered across Argentina, scaring people and requiring the deployment of at least a few firefighters, according to local newspaper reports.

The ISS is far bigger than either the Salyuts or Skylab. In an uncontrolled deorbit, pieces of debris “up to car and train size,” say experts on the official ISS space station advisory committee, will rain down from the sky. NASA confirms this would pose “a significant risk to the public worldwide.”

OK—the nightmare is over. Thus concludes my anxiety-ridden spiral. Here are the facts as they stand in 2026:

As far as WIRED can tell, no one has ever died because a piece of space station hit them. Some pieces of Skylab did fall on a remote part of Western Australia, and Jimmy Carter formally apologized, but no one was hurt. The odds of a piece hitting a populated area are low. Most of the world is ocean, and most land is uninhabited. In 2024, a piece of space trash that was ejected from the ISS survived atmospheric burn-up, fell through the sky, and crashed through the roof of a home belonging to a very real, and rightfully perturbed, Florida man. He tweeted about it and then sued NASA, but he wasn’t injured.

For this story, WIRED reviewed dozens of NASA documents, including backup plans and contingencies for emergencies, and spoke to more than a dozen people, including three astronauts who’ve visited the ISS, and no one seemed that freaked out. One astronaut said the most worrisome scenario that actively crossed his mind in orbit was getting a toothache. The ISS has had some emergencies, including a first-ever medical evacuation in January, but generally things have been remarkably stable. In fact, one of the most impressive things about the ISS is that nothing very dramatic has ever happened to it. No experiment has gone too haywire. It hasn’t been hit by an asteroid.

A unique BMX frame tests the limits of an electric bike’s capabilities. Sam Barker and Tom Stanton, two friends who enjoy tackling weekend projects, transformed a standard BMX frame into a speed machine. What they created is a beast that feels more like a dragster than a pedal assist bike, a tiny BMX frame with enough power to raise the front wheel and outperform more standard e-bikes.

The project began by simply plugging a 20-inch BMX wheel equipped with a 3kW hub motor into an existing bike in the garage, powered by a 72 volt, 20 amp-hour battery. Initially, some quick spins around the block revealed some potential acceleration, but pushing the throttle wide was all it took to send the back wheel spinning into the air and the front end flying off completely due to the narrow wheelbase.

They knew they needed to solve the handling issues, so they brought out the welder and cut the frame, adding a meter of 12mm mild steel tubing to give it some significant stability. They added some reinforced brackets to make the whole thing feel sturdy, almost like scaffolding. The longer frame kept the front wheel on the ground during those violent launches, and it also allowed them to finally tuck the battery inside the bike. They also changed the handlebars to a unique design to give them better control, and they adjusted the pedals to make them exactly perfect.

Stopping was accomplished with a borrowed rim brake caliper from a penny-farthing cycle. To be honest, it sort of works, but don’t expect to be able to stop on a dime soon. The machine overheats a lot under severe braking, and it won’t slow you down enough to be safe at the speeds it can reach. They did identify a workaround by shunting the motor wires to enable regenerative braking, but the main brakes remain marginal.

When they eventually took it out for a ride, they discovered the bike’s personality: it creates so much acceleration that the back wheel starts spinning before the rubber really has a chance to grip, and then you’re past 50 or 60 kph, feeling the speed wobble from the sharp steering angle. It’s not particularly stable, but it’s far superior to the original short version. While there is no fairing to protect you, and the low seat causes you to bounce around on the pegs, you must agree it’s a lot of fun.

One way is to buy an optional $25 hardwire kit from Vantrue, which will connect the device directly to your fuse box. Note, however, that the camera draws about 25 to 35 milliamps while in parking mode (about 3 to 4 watts on a home outlet), and this will drain your car’s battery if hardwired. This isn’t a troublesome power draw, and should be fine for days or maybe weeks if your battery’s healthy.

But in general, I’d rather not drain my car battery while it’s parked. I’d instead nix the hardwire kit and invest in a good power bank. Even a $48 portable bank from Anker should be enough for about a week’s continuous operation while parked, without ever worrying about battery drain on your car.

Limitations and Faults

For such a dinky device, the Vantrue does nonetheless offer a real-time screen. It’s doubtful you’ll use it to scroll through video, however. It’s most useful for verifying the framing on the cam when you stick it to your windshield. The screen is a bit busy with information, and lower resolution than the actual video.

If you’re reviewing footage, you’ll be doing so on your phone using the app. But the screen is still useful for adjusting settings manually, should you desperately need to—though controlling the phone via the on-camera interface will be a little fiddly and irritating. Again, you’re better off just connecting the camera to your phone to toggle settings.

There are, in fact, settings aplenty. Through the app, you’re able to track mileage, toggle GPS tracking, set the frame rate and resolution of the camera, and set whether you want the camera to use high-dynamic range settings or PlatePix. The former will be most useful when light is dim.

It’s also a simple, single-camera device. Vantrue has more elaborate (and more expensive, and larger) multi-camera options with similar camera specs that I’m in the process of testing, including a Nexus 4 Pro with a lower-resolution front-cabin and rear cam. A 4-channel N5 adds an extra rear-cabin channel for a wild amount of camera coverage, but at the expense of some image resolution.

PlatePix does indeed help in capturing license plates, but it will do so at the expense of contrast on the rest of the image. This is a compromise that’ll matter most at night. Which is to say, you’re choosing between marginal license plate capture on a dark image, or worse, license plate capture on crisper night footage.

On March 8, 2026, in honour of International Women’s Day, a new edition of SheBuilds on Lovable invited builders from around the world to a 24-hour global, powered by Anthropic. On top of that, participants in the SheBuilds campaign receive $100 in Anthropic API credits and $250 in Stripe fee credits to kickstart their builds and remove early-stage barriers to creation.

This isn’t just another hackathon; it’s a campaign that blends community, technology, and real output. It asks a simple question of the tech industry and its marketers: do we want participation, or just talk about it?

If I’m honest, I have mixed feelings. We need a stronger community and louder voices for women in tech not just on a specific international day, but every day. I’d like to believe we are beyond the stereotype of what jobs women can or cannot do, and what is left for men. Beyond any single campaign, we should advocate for women as builders in the tech world every day.

Still, every time I see a campaign like this, it sparks some hope inside me. It reminds me that we are not reduced to specific skills on a specific day, and that progress is possible.

Returning to SheBuilds, which is rooted in a longer tradition: the 48-hour virtual buildathons Lovable has run for women founders and builders, where ideas become real applications over an intense weekend of collaboration.

In October 2025, 60 women joined a remote, AI-enabled sprint to design, prototype, and launch working products in 48 hours, and the resonant element wasn’t speed, it was agency. 

In 2026, the campaign took this idea further. Instead of being constrained to a single track, it anchored itself to a global cultural moment where women’s participation in tech isn’t just acknowledged but activated, with free build credits, peer connection, live sessions, and an open invitation to anyone who wants to make rather than debate what innovation should look like. 

We have been talking in tech about inclusion and diversity for years. Many initiatives generate reports, webinars, and packs of aspirational slides. SheBuilds does something different: it creates the conditions for output. In the world of software, execution matters. A founder funded or a product launched is a literal piece of industry change, unlike any promise that never materialises.

SheBuilds lowers barriers in two ways. First, it reshapes access to execution. Participants don’t need traditional engineering skills; they need a laptop, an idea, and the willingness to build it. Second, by connecting creation to a broader cultural moment, International Women’s Day, it reframes participation as both a personal achievement and a public conversation about who gets to shape tech. 

There’s good evidence that this model matters. Across the Lovable community, builders report that the ritual of building, not discussing, changes how they see themselves in technology. For many, shipping a live prototype in 48 hours meant moving from being stuck in ideas to being recognized as a doer; more than that, it positioned them within a network that values rapid iteration and real product agency. 

From the industry’s perspective, this matters because it accelerates user engagement in a genuinely participatory way. Rather than positioning a platform as something to use someday, the SheBuilds campaign positions it as something you use now. When marketers tie campaigns to output, not just signup counts, they create moments of meaningful interaction. That’s both a brand story and a user experience strategy.

Lovable’s move to embrace International Women’s Day isn’t a gesture; it’s a strategic campaign. By hosting SheBuilds events tied to a global calendar, the company amplifies its mission, and invites participation on a broader scale. It embodies a shift in how tech platforms engage builders: merging community activation with cultural moments, and showing that building isn’t reserved for a subset with coding degrees. 

If the tech industry wants to look past fancy words like diversity and equity, it needs campaigns that exchange words for workshops, panels for platforms, and theories for tools. That’s the real invitation SheBuilds extends to its participants, and the lesson it offers marketers who want to tell meaningful stories about making things.

The tech world still doesn’t reflect the people it serves. Women make up far less than half of technical roles and leadership positions, and the gap shows up in boardrooms, engineering teams, and the very products we use every day. Representation isn’t a nice-to-have statistic; it shapes what technology looks like and who gets to steer it. 

From where I stand, SheBuilds on Lovable isn’t just another event. It is a call to action that meets a long-standing need, a space where women are not only welcomed but empowered to create, ship, and be seen. It turns invisible potential into visible impact, inviting women to bring their solutions into the world rather than waiting for permission to do so. 

When women build, the whole industry becomes richer in ideas, perspective, and purpose. Moments like this, tied to real creative work, are not symbolic gestures. They are steps toward a tech ecosystem where women aren’t exceptions but equals. 

Let the world know the builder you are! Celebrate your voice here! Isn’t this lovable?
