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…
According to a new rumor out of China, Apple is having some trouble placing the Face ID sensor array under the screen. It has so far been rumored multiple times that the company is working on effectively destroying the Dynamic Island by doing this, thus only leaving the camera sensor hole-punched into the screen. And yet, if this rumor is true, it looks like the Dynamic Island will live on, even in the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Apple will shrink the island, but it will still be there. The company is still a long way…
Preparing for an interview usually involves a strange mix of overthinking and guesswork. You rehearse answers in your head, try to predict what a hiring manager might ask, and then hope your carefully constructed responses survive contact with reality. ChatGPT and other AI chatbots could be the solution to helping you get that dream job, according to a popular new trend.I asked ChatGPT to interview me for a job and provide feedback. A structured and immediate critique has obvious appeal over guessing what an interviewer might think. And as a job interview is a lot like putting on a show,…
Try balancing a ruler vertically on the palm of your hand while walking. It’s not easy. Your eyes constantly track its movement. Your arm and hand make tiny adjustments to prevent tilting. All the while, your brain sparks with activity with one clear goal: Keep the ruler upright.Scientists have now trained mini brains, or brain organoids, to master the same problem, simulated in the digital realm, with electrical zaps alone.Mini brains have grown popular with researchers since their invention over a decade ago. Commonly made from stem cells, organoids are jam-packed with neurons that form densely connected networks. Earlier versions…

The trailer for Dune: Part Three, director Denis Villeneuve’s epic climax to his sci-fi movie trilogy, has dropped, and the next movie looks just as spectacular as the first two. Maybe Dune: Part Three will finally net Villeneuve and his collaborators some of the Oscar gold that eluded them with Parts One and Two. These movies are based on the Dune novels by Frank Herbert. The first two movies covered 1965’s Dune, and followed Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) as he transformed from the scion of a noble house into the leader of the desert-dwelling Fremen people on the planet of…
Yesterday a leak brought us the specs of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8, and today the same source is back with CAD-based renders showcasing the device. As you can see, the design is very reminiscent of the Galaxy Z Fold7, with even the display sizes being identical as per yesterday’s leaked specs. The Fold8 will however get a 5,000 mAh battery, 600 mAh larger than its predecessor’s. It will also support 45W wired charging (up from 25W), and another upgrade is said to be a 50MP ultrawide camera (up from 12MP). The phone’s price should remain identical to the…
Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech If Elon Musk ever cuts the ribbon on his massive chip factory “Terafab,” it could be among the largest buildings on Earth — and one of the most expensive. Terafab, announced in a painfully awkward conference over the weekend, is a joint semiconductor venture between Musk’s SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI companies. Should it ever come to be — we’re skeptical — the factory would be much bigger than its already-existing Giga Texas facility, and would surely be the largest chip plant on the…
After several years where didn’t hear much from Denon’s Home speaker series, the Japanese brand has whipped up a brand new range, and it’s got Dolby Atmos support across the entire range. The range is made up of the Home 200, Home 400, and Home 600; which sort of but not quite replace the previous models.

You’ll be able to operate the Home 1.0 and Home 2.0 systems through the same app, unlike some…
TL;DR New CAD-based renders attempt to show off Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8. Compared to the Z Fold 7, this year’s model may arrive slightly thicker. Other hardware changes include battery upgrades, a higher-res ultrawide camera, and possible S Pen support. Right now is arguably the most exciting time yet to be a fan of foldable-screen smartphones, with a mature industry that’s started to show its confidence through the introduction of some experimental new designs. For Samsung in 2026, that looks like it’s going to mean expanding its lineup to include not just the Galaxy Z Fold 8, but…
