Android has multiple gestures built into the system and certain apps that are easy to miss. These gestures make navigating Android faster and easier, and allow you to access key functions with minimal effort, and over the years you might have triggered some of these gestures by accident. I know I have. For example, Gboard (which has a cool extra feature on iOS) has a hidden trackpad function to allow for precise cursor placement — a lifesaver when editing text. Also, there’s a gesture that lets you rapidly swipe between two recent apps in a similar way to using the…
Apple unveiled the AirPods Max 2 earlier this month, and today they have gone up for pre-order, just as promised during the announcement. You can grab a pair for $549/€579/£499/₹67,900.

They also come with Adaptive Audio and Live Translation, conversation awareness, Bluetooth 5.3, and a new high dynamic range amplifier that Apple promises will deliver cleaner audio. You can use the AirPods Max 2’s digital crown as a shutter…
Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech For thirty minutes on Tuesday, a team of researchers white-knuckled it across the CERN campus on the outskirts of Geneva, completing the world’s first haul of antimatter particles ever attempted. Antimatter is incredibly unstable, making it notoriously difficult to store in a solid structure, let along the back of a cabover rig. Yet that’s exactly what they did, after physicists decided it was necessary to move antiprotons away from their CERN production line to another on-campus lab where they’d be free from “experimental…

Eufy Security 3K Dual Camera SoloCam S340 for $119.99 ($80 off)The Eufy SoloCam S340 is down to $119.99, a solid 40% discount from $199.99.

San Francisco, USA, March 25th, 2026, CyberNewswire Cybersecurity Insiders today announced the winners of the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards during RSA Conference, recognizing leading cybersecurity companies, products, and professionals. This year’s defining theme was AI security, drawing more nominations and more intense competition than any other, with entries spanning AI governance, agentic security, runtime protection, AI-powered threat detection, identity, and data protection. “A year ago, most AI security nominations centered on governance and acceptable use,” said Holger Schulze, CEO of Cybersecurity Insiders. “This year, we reviewed purpose-built solutions for securing autonomous AI agents, a category that barely existed twelve months…
We all know that feeling. You sit down for dinner, put your phone away, and five minutes later, you’re checking it for no particular reason. With apps like TikTok and Instagram that are designed to steal every bit of your attention, it’s hard to stay in the moment. To cure us of our smartphone obsessions, a new line of devices has emerged that tones down the smartphone experience, giving you access to only essential apps. However, most of those phones are too minimal in my opinion. Meadow is a new device that aims to change that, striking the perfect balance…
If you’re facing storage issues, a NAS sounds very appealing. After all, a centralized place to store your photos, documents, and media that is accessible from any device on your network is a great way to offload important data from your main devices. That said, dedicated NAS enclosures can cost anywhere from $150 to $400, and that’s before you start adding the drives. But home file storage doesn’t have to be expensive. All you need is an old laptop, or even a phone, and a simple Python script that’s giving Nextcloud a run for its money. The tiny server that…
It’s hard to definitively say that the rise of AI and various AI-powered features has made anyone’s life easier — one study suggested it intensifies work, for example — but one thing it has done is put chat boxes everywhere. One of generative AI’s key innovations is the ability to use natural language to interact with software. If there’s any clear takeaway from the AI gold rush, it’s that talking to your apps and gadgets could make computers radically easier to use, and we might already have the tools to make it happen. This idea hasn’t been totally borne out…
Back-to-back low-pressure systems struck Hawaii in March 2026, delivering some of the worst flooding the state has seen in decades. The subtropical weather systems—called kona lows near Hawaii—siphoned moisture from the tropics, fueling slow-moving thunderstorms with torrential, destructive rains. The National Weather Service reported rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches (13 to 26 centimeters) throughout the state between March 11 and 15, with some areas seeing more than 30 inches. Weather stations in Honolulu, Hilo, Līhuʻe, and Kahului all broke daily rainfall records. The satellite image on the right shows swamped neighborhoods and farmland between Mokuleia and Waialua on…
