10 Things in Tech: Renting properties to sublet them, the world’s largest polymer 3D printer, and a bare-bones Tesla Cybertruck interior

Happy Memorial Day, mates. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and I'm excited that the French Open main draw is in full swing today.

I'd love to watch it in-person someday. But flying to France is super expensive (especially from San Diego).

So maybe I'll try this flight hack — $4 — that airlines hate. My colleague $4 breaks down how this hack $4. But it runs the risk of you getting banned from the airline.

Maybe it's worth it to see my favorite tennis players compete on clay.

  • My colleague $4 gathered their profiles and highlighted how these workers turbocharged their jobs with technology.
