When I bought a Mac mini, I wasn’t planning to change my desk setup. I wanted a small, quiet machine that could handle writing and a stack of browser tabs without getting in the way. A 24-inch 1080p monitor had worked reliably for years on Windows, so it felt like a safe choice to keep using it on macOS. At first, everything seemed fine, but the screen didn’t look quite right. The text was readable, but it lacked the clean edges I was used to. Menu labels, browser tabs, and long paragraphs all looked slightly soft. I kept working, assuming…

Ryan Haines / Android AuthorityI will wear two hats today — one as a reviewer and one as a consumer. That’s because I’ve been on both sides and know exactly how the two brains function, and perhaps make sense of how differently they each perceive the same product. This is exactly what we need today, because the device in focus is perhaps as polarizing in acceptance as those two minds themselves.When choosing a phone, what influences you more?9 votesReal-world feel and comfort56%Specs and benchmarks22%Reviews and comparisons22%The comparison fatigueRyan Haines / Android AuthorityI thought it would be a good thing that…

In this Oct. 20, 2025, photo, tiny ball bearings surround a larger central bearing during the Fluid Particles experiment, conducted inside the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG) aboard the International Space Station’s Destiny laboratory module. A bulk container installed in the MSG, filled with viscous fluid and embedded particles, is subjected to oscillating frequencies to observe how the particles cluster and form larger structures in microgravity. Insights from this research may advance fire suppression, lunar dust mitigation, and plant growth in space. On Earth, the findings could inform our understanding of pollen dispersion, algae blooms, plastic pollution, and sea salt transport…

I’m generally reluctant to wear my Apple Watch while I sleep. Yes, I can silence the notifications on the watch to avoid on-wrist audiovisual distractions. I wake up just fine with a phone alarm, and don’t need the watch to push beeps into my ears.  The disdain is somewhat justified because I bought the smartwatch primarily for workout tracking. Plus, I just can’t sleep with a device strapped to my wrist. It’s just uncomfortable. But the attitude has mellowed down lately.  My family physician has lately forced me to get at least 7-8 hours of shut-eye time to ensure that…

There’s no two ways about it: the handheld gaming PC market is hot right now. Valve’s Steam Deck has proven to be a fan-favorite with its clean, Linux-based SteamOS software, and Lenovo, MSI, and other industry juggernauts are rapidly iterating on their own takes on the form factor with Microsoft’s Windows 11 OS at the helm. Then, there’s Asus. The Taipei, Taiwan-based tech company has been building Windows 11 gaming handhelds for some time now, with the original ROG Ally model releasing in mid-2023. A refreshed Ally X model arrived shortly thereafter, boasting both spec improvements and ergonomic adaptations. Fast-forward…

Commercial space stations are rapidly moving from concept to reality. As NASA prepares for the International Space Station’s retirement around 2030, a burgeoning private orbital industry could step into its shoes.The ISS was humanity’s only permanent outpost in space for nearly a quarter of a century, until China’s Tiangong station was permanently crewed in 2022. But the ISS is nearing the end of its planned lifespan and NASA’s been clear that it doesn’t intend to replace the space station.Instead, the agency wants to shift from landlord to tenant, purchasing space station services from private players rather than running a facility…

Motorola is a slightly under-the-radar brand that doesn’t always get the credit it deserves. Many Motorola phones offer AI features that are genuinely useful in everyday life, not just nice-to-have additions. Since I started using the Motorola Edge 70, it has only gotten better. Over time, I’ve found myself relying on these five AI features that you might not know about, or may know but haven’t really used.
