Your browser is something you use every single day, on almost all your devices. So how it is set up matters. And no, I’m not talking about what theme it has, the extensions installed, or even the performance tweaks. What I never skip is switching the DNS, simply because it affects browsing speed, privacy, and security. So if DNS isn’t optimized, everything that follows feels slightly slower, less private, and more restricted than it should be. Related This is the best DNS I’ve used—and it’s not because it’s fast NextDNS is actually plenty fast, but it’s other features make it…

The upcoming iPhone Fold will be Apple’s first and long-awaited foray into foldable smartphones, and it’s forecasted to be a big hit. According to a new report from TrendForce , Cupertino’s first foldable will help it reach a 19.3% market share for foldables in 2026, which would directly slot it into the third spot behind Huawei and Samsung. Apple is a late entrant in the folding phone market, but TrendForce analysts believe pent-up demand from Apple users who want to try a foldable phone, combined with a strong brand and ecosystem loyalty, will propel Apple as one of the market…

In mid-April 2026, a powerful typhoon bore down on the Mariana Islands in the North Pacific Ocean. The storm, Super Typhoon Sinlaku, was notable for reaching such exceptional strength so early in the year. The VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) on the Suomi NPP satellite captured this image at about 03:30 Universal Time (1:30 p.m. local time) on April 13, 2026, as Sinlaku approached the islands. At the time, the storm carried sustained winds of around 280 kilometers (175 miles) per hour. That places it as a violent typhoon—the highest intensity on the scale used by the Japan Meteorological Agency and equivalent to a…

Huawei is set to unveil the Pura 90 series smartphones on April 20, including the Pura 90 and Pura 90 Pro Max.

C. Scott Brown / Android AuthorityTL;DR A Samsung customer support agent has given an apparent launch window for stable One UI 8.5. The agent reports that the stable update could be released globally around May 4. You should be skeptical of this claim, though, as support agents might not be privy to an exact launch date. The Samsung Galaxy S26 series launched with One UI 8.5, but owners of older phones have waited for a while to get their hands on the stable software. However, it sounds like we now have a tentative date for stable One UI 8.5 on…

A single shot transforms the mice’s brains into biomanufacturing machines. Blood proteins churn the injected chemicals into a soft, flexible electrode mesh that seamlessly wraps around delicate neurons. Pulses of light aimed at the mesh quiet hyperactive cells. All the while, the mice go about their merry ways, with no inkling they’ve been turned into cyborgs.This science fiction-like invention is the brainchild of Purdue University scientists seeking to reimagine brain implants.These devices, often composed of rigid microelectrode chips, have already changed lives. They can collect electrical signals from the brain or spinal cord and translate these signals into speech or…

Nothing is broken. And somehow, that makes it worse. Your system boots like a champ, apps open instantly, and your GPU hums along like a caffeinated penguin with a purpose. Then you plug into a modern TV or high-end monitor, and it stops short. Not dramatically, or in a way you can screenshot and complain about. Just enough to make you feel like your setup is being held back. That invisible ceiling isn’t a bug. It’s not even Linux being Linux. It’s a locked door with a legal sign on it.

Paramount+ is a modern day streaming giant, and it just cut ties with a device you might use every single day. The company has effectively removed its app from Amazon’s Echo Shows and stopped support for streaming on the devices (via Cord Cutters News). It’s annoying and inconvenient for users who rely on their Echo Show’s large (but manageable) smart displays. So why did Paramount+ abruptly break up with Amazon’s devices, and what’s going on? Dimensions (exterior) 10″W x 7.2″H x 5″D Colors Glacier White, Graphite Amazon’s smart display and speaker system designed for Alexa+.  Paramount+ no longer supported on…

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Last month, a joint investigation by two Swedish newspapers found that contractors in Kenya were watching personal videos recorded by users of Meta’s Ray Ban AI glasses. The devices, which can easily be used to film others in public without their knowledge or consent, have been facing a growing backlash online, with netizens calling them out for being “pervert glasses.” Now, Meta’s plans to add facial recognition tech to its hardware, as part of a new feature internally dubbed “Name Tag,” has outraged…
