There’s no beating around the bush — TV makers can be pretty stingy when it comes to the ports they offer. Despite selling you a device you’re expected to own for many years, they have a tendency to include ports that not only lack futureproofing, but are already outdated the day you walk out the store. There’s no good excuse for including USB 2.0 when USB 4 has been around for years, and even USB 3.1 would be a massive performance jump. The most obvious stinginess, though, involves the inclusion of HDMI 2.0 ports. The 2.0 spec dates back to…
Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech It doesn’t take much to impress an AI chatbot. Tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT have long garnered a reputation for being ludicrously sycophantic. Despite AI companies publicly promising to address the problem, researchers recently found that the bots still have a strong tendency to flatter and affirm in response to virtually any kind of prompt. In the latest preposterous example of this impulse, philosophy YouTuber and writer Jonas Čeika “sent ChatGPT an audio file of a series of FART sound effects and asked what…

Middle-earth is officially heading back to the big screen, and the latest casting news from CinemaCon suggests a mix of nostalgia and fresh energy. Warner Bros. recently revealed the lineup for The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, and for those of us who grew up with the original trilogy, there is plenty to recognize.

And he isn’t the only veteran making a comeback. Sir Ian McKellen…
It’s no secret that Windows Search hasn’t kept up. It’s slow, inconsistent, and constantly tries to force you into doing things its way. Sometimes it finds what you need, but there are times when it annoys you by prioritizing web results and random suggestions over the file or app you actually wanted. And don’t even get me started on how it keeps nudging you toward Bing and Edge, even if you’ve set different defaults. What’s frustrating is not just the speed, but the unpredictability. You can never quite trust it to deliver the right result every time. That’s what pushed…

Early spring around Hudson Bay in northern Canada is largely indistinguishable from winter. Sea ice still clings to land, and the boggy lowlands remain frozen. In the dulled tones of the boreal landscape, however, snow helps accentuate the area’s subtle topography. In late March 2026, an astronaut aboard the International Space Station captured this photo of frozen channels feeding Hannah Bay—a southern offshoot of James Bay, which is itself an extension of Hudson Bay. Some of the patterns visible in the photo relate to the region’s ice age history. During the Pleistocene Epoch, the Laurentide Ice Sheet covered most of…
Back in September of last year, Google launched an experimental Windows app with AI Mode built-in. Now, this has been made available to everyone across the globe, but only in English for now. Undoubtedly more languages are going to be supported soon. The Google app for Windows lets you use Alt+Space as a shortcut to bring it up in a small window and ask it anything. That shortcut will be very familiar to you if you’re a Mac user, of course, since it’s what brings up Spotlight search. Google’s app obviously provides a Google search box, but it’s so much…
