If you’ve ever dug through your Windows installation drive looking for space hogs, you’ve probably stumbled upon the WinSxS folder. It’s one of those system folders that quietly balloons to 10GB or more without you noticing, and your first instinct might be to delete it. Don’t—Windows needs it to function, and removing files manually will break your system. The WinSxS folder stores system components, including older versions that Windows keeps for updates and rollbacks. The good news is that you can safely trim it down using built-in tools rather than manually hunting for the largest files and folders on your…

The mountains of the western United States are sporting thin winter coats in early 2026. Although most regions saw average or above-average precipitation in fall and early winter, warmer temperatures meant that much of it fell as rain. The result has been an unusually low snowpack for this time of year, constituting a snow drought. This image, acquired with the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on NASA’s Terra satellite, provides a wide view of meager western snow cover on January 15. On that day, measurements derived from satellite observations showed that snow blanketed 142,700 square miles (369,700 square kilometers) of the west.…

worst-people-alive-obsessed-smart-glasses There’s something about smart glasses that bring out the worst in people. It’s really no mystery, though: they’re powerful little surveillance devices that let wearers secretly record anyone they’re looking at, uniting tech bros and vapid influencers under the same, obnoxious umbrella. The popularity of wearables like Meta Ray-Bans are quickly reminding us why the slang term “glasshole” was already a thing over a decade ago, and is now becoming more relevant than ever. In a handy but blood-pressure-raising round-up of contemporary glasshole behavior from Mashable, jerks using the always-on devices are using them to film themselves doing moronic…
