Robert Triggs / Android AuthorityModern smartphone cameras are impressive beasts, as many camera phones combine cutting-edge hardware with advanced image processing capabilities. Some of the more notable innovations in recent years include periscope cameras, 200MP sensors, and all-pixel autofocus.However, one of my favorite hardware features arrived in 2022: one-inch camera sensors. Unfortunately, adoption of this tech has seemingly stalled in the last year or so, and it doesn’t look like we’ll see much of it in 2026. What went wrong? Do you prefer larger camera sensors or more megapixels?165 votesA larger sensor, please93%More megapixels for me7%One-inch cameras were the future…

If Elon Musk’s antics over the past few years have felt like a three-ring circus, there just might be a reason for that. As it turns out, one of the billionaire’s key legal strategists isn’t just an attorney but a professionally trained — and currently practicing — clown. We wish we were kidding. But new reporting by Business Insider tells the tale of Jaymie Parkkinen, an intellectual property lawyer representing Musk by day while working as an actual clown by night. Amidst a massive courtroom drama playing out between Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Parkkinen has stood out, occasionally…

Researchers studying AI chatbots have found that ChatGPT can show anxiety-like behavior when it is exposed to violent or traumatic user prompts. The finding does not mean the chatbot experiences emotions the way humans do. However, it does reveal that the system’s responses become more unstable and biased when it processes distressing content. When researchers fed ChatGPT prompts describing disturbing content, like detailed accounts of accidents and natural disasters, the model’s responses showed higher uncertainty and inconsistency. These changes were measured using psychological assessment frameworks adapted for AI, where the chatbot’s output mirrored patterns associated with anxiety in humans (via…

If it isn’t number one, dropped internet access has to be near the top of the list of tech problems people deal with on a frequent basis. What’s maddening is that it can often be difficult to diagnose the source of your trouble. If your internet service provider (ISP) isn’t reporting an outage, you may be left rooting through software and hardware settings until something clicks, either literally or figuratively. Sometimes the fault will certainly lie with your Wi-Fi router, given that it’s how most of your home devices bridge with the internet. But there are other factors worth considering,…

Celebrate the New Year with the “Champagne Cluster,” a galaxy cluster seen in this new image from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and optical telescopes. Astronomers discovered this galaxy cluster Dec. 31, 2020. The date, combined with the bubble-like appearance of the galaxies and the superheated gas seen with Chandra observations (represented in purple), inspired the scientists to nickname the galaxy cluster the Champagne Cluster, a much easier-to-remember name than its official designation of RM J130558.9+263048.4. The new composite image shows that the Champagne Cluster is actually two galaxy clusters in the process of merging to form an even larger cluster.…

This year has been an eventful one for cameraphones, carrying over the trend. Some manufacturers made huge strides when it comes to cameras, while others decided to focus on polishing their products. But at the end of the day, pretty much all manufacturers have something to show for when it comes to cameras. Arguably, vivo ended up leading the pack. The company released the China-only vivo X200 Ultra in early 2025, while the X300 and X300 Pro arrived a couple of months before the end of the year, but made it to global stage. The vivo X300 Pro, didn’t bring…

For years now, video games have been the biggest industry in entertainment, well beyond TV and movies. And why not? They’re fun, they’re addictive, and they can even make you more productive. But it’s only recently that Hollywood has really caught up and started looking to gaming as source material for movies and TV shows. Thus, we’ve gotten shows like The Last of Us and Fallout, and there are a lot more adaptations in the making. But somehow, Hollywood has missed some really obvious franchises that are screaming out to be turned into TV series. Grand Theft Auto Obviously Grand…

Even the best coffee makers need regular maintenance, and the new year is the perfect time to give yours a thorough clean to make sure it’s running like new. Yes, it takes a little time, but the results are well worth the effort.Every part of your coffee maker that comes into contact with water, milk, or coffee is a potential breeding ground for bacteria, and needs thorough cleaning to stay fresh and hygienic. Over time, limescale can also build up inside the boiler and brewing group, causing problems with the machine’s pressure, so descaling is essential as well.How you clean…

NASA’s budget is still an unfathomable mess. The government shutdown late last year once again delayed proceedings to determine the space agency’s future — but if it were up to the Trump administration, NASA’s science budget would be slashed in half, an “extinction-level” inflection point for US space exploration and science. If Congress were to have its druthers, on the other hand, NASA’s budget would largely remain unchanged, securing the future of dozens of important missions — both ongoing and planned — that the White House is looking to place on the chopping block. Trapped between the two, the fate…
