Located 700 kilometers (440 miles) east of Madagascar, Réunion Island is the product of a long-lived mantle hotspot on the floor of the Indian Ocean. The island first emerged above the ocean’s surface about 2 million years ago. It remains active today, with frequent eruptions from Piton de la Fournaise, a shield volcano on the island’s eastern side. Since the 17th century, the volcano has had more than 150 documented eruptions. The most recent began within the Enclos Fouqué caldera on February 13, 2026, with the opening of four fissures that fueled sustained lava fountains reaching 10 to 50 meters…
Anthropic has accidentally revealed a huge chunk of how its AI coding tool actually works. A debug file bundled into version 2.1.88 of its Claude Code package briefly exposed a 500,000+ line codebase (via VentureBeat). This gave developers an unusually detailed look at the system behind one of the fastest-growing AI tools right now. The file was pulled quickly, and Anthropic says no customer data or credentials were exposed. However, the damage, at least from a competitive standpoint, is already done. The code has been widely mirrored and picked apart online. At a glance, the leak confirms that Claude Code is…
Music listening can be as simple as you make it, or it can become a very expensive and complicated hobby quickly. There is a seemingly never-ending list of features, upgrades, and settings you can use to improve or change the way your music sounds. Not all of them are worth using, however — some are complete gimmicks, while others require the right hardware to maximize. Sound quality is subjective, so you might love a feature or setting the person beside you hates. There’s no better example of that principle than spatial audio. It’s one of the biggest buzzwords in the…

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech It isn’t just the guys handling plutonium who need to worry about radiation — every US nuclear worker, from the plumbers patching leaks to the janitors mopping floors, has a reason to be on guard. New reporting by High Country News detailed the startling impact the Trump administration is having on the safety of nuclear energy workers.

Switching phones is always a gamble. You expect something new, something exciting – maybe even something better. And to be fair, the Galaxy S26 Ultra delivers on that promise in many ways. It is one of the most technically impressive smartphones available today, packing a 6.85-inch 2K LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, peak brightness reaching up to 2,600 nits, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, which offers roughly a 10–15% performance boost over its predecessor. But after spending time with it, I found myself in a strange position. The more I appreciated what Samsung had…
Old technology fails for a lot of reasons, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take preventive steps to make sure things last longer, and that includes your smart TV. Nowadays, while there are many cheap smart TVs available, nobody likes to drop hundreds of dollars on something out of the blue.

Similarly, I have a Roku Ultra plugged into my bedroom TV. However,…
