Operation Absolute Resolve was like the US Dream Team of Basketball Domination. It was like Shaq and Jordan in their prime versus a High School Squad. It was a wake-up call for China and Russia. It was a stunning display of military prowess and intelligence and drone infiltration and sabotage. Recent events in the Russia-Ukraine war and the aftermath of the 2025 Iran-Israel conflict show that both Russia and Iran have struggled to fully prevent drone penetrations that have damaged air bases, military facilities, and other critical infrastructure. This vulnerability aligns with your broader thesis on U.S. (and allied) dominance…

I wasn’t too impressed by Samsung’s TriFold when it was first announced in late 2025. It looked more like a gimmick than a product I would ever see myself using. Yet, at CES 2026, I got the chance to get my actual hands on the device, and after spending an hour with the futuristic foldable, something became immediately obvious – this form-factor makes so much more sense than the Galaxy Z Fold series ever has. If this is the first time you’re hearing about the TriFold, let me run through the basics. Instead of folding out once, like the Z…

I’ve already written about Linux distros I’d avoid at all costs, but this time curiosity got the better of me. I started wondering what North Korea has been up to on the software side, and that question quickly sent me down a very strange rabbit hole. So, like any other slightly unreasonable Linux fan, I decided to try North Korea’s take on an operating system for myself. It turned out to be a far more interesting experience than I had expected. Related Sorry, Linux fans: This OS is actually the better Windows replacement Not Linux, not Windows. Something better. The…

Hadlee Simons / Android AuthorityTL;DR A leaker has revealed more details about the Galaxy S26’s new 24MP shooting mode. The mode will apparently avoid image quality issues seen in the Expert RAW app’s 24MP mode. It’s believed 24MP shots will take roughly three seconds to process, but offer noticeably better image quality than 12MP snaps. Twitter tipster Ice Universe posted more apparent information about this shooting mode, corroborating reports that it needs to be enabled in the Camera Assistant app first. Once you’ve turned on this feature, it’ll be available as an option in the Galaxy S26’s default camera app.…

Susan Schuh has dedicated her career to helping humans adapt to life beyond Earth.   As the Flight Crew Integration Operational Habitability (OpsHab) team lead in NASA’s Human Health and Performance Directorate at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Schuh leads efforts to understand what it is really like to live and work in space. She turns that information into progress by documenting astronauts’ feedback to improve current and future spaceflight missions.  Her work not only supports crews aboard the International Space Station, but also provides critical information for NASA’s preparations to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before through…

On today’s episode of You Asked, what did we learn about Dolby Vision 2? Quite a lot. Enough, in fact, to dedicate an entire episode to it. We are talking TV model availability, including models you may already have, what we were dead wrong about assuming before, and some side-by-side looks at the original Dolby Vision versus the new format. You will be impressed. Also, sorry in advance for how many times you are going to hear me say the words Dolby Vision. Dolby at CES 2026 The experience with Dolby at CES 2026 was awesome. It was my first…

Alongside the recently introduced Write and Rewrite features, Microsoft has now added a Summarize feature to the Notepad app. This new feature allows you to quickly transform long pieces of text into short, high-level summaries, making it easier to review notes, drafts, or copied content without reading everything line by line. In this guide, we’ll show […] This article How to use Summarize in Windows 11 Notepad to Enhance Writing with AI first appeared on TheWindowsClub.com.

I enjoy special effects and thumping bass as much as the next man, but like most of you I imagine, I care a lot about dialogue. I don’t treat movies and TV as rollercoaster rides — I engage with their plots and themes, and I can’t do that if it’s difficult to follow what characters are saying. Give me intelligible dialogue on a cheap soundbar over muffled conversations on 7.1-channel home theater system. You don’t need to upgrade your devices to get clearer conversations, though. Chances are there’s at least one accessible solution that will fix dialogue without having to…

Getty Images / Catherine Falls Commercial Parents were left scrambling on Christmas day after the hot toy of the season appeared to crash and burn, in a perfect cautionary tale about the era of connected gadgets that can easily brick if their delicate infrastructure is put under strain. The toy, called the Tin Can, is basically a stripped down landline phone that places calls over WiFi. The devices are styled after colorful tin cans — like an old school tin can telephone, an archaic toy so thoroughly ancient that kids today presumably have no idea it ever existed — with…

So, this is going to be a weirdly motivated list, but hear me out. Finding 5 phones to really like in a year – in 2025 and in our line of work – is no trivial task. Take Ro, for example – he only made it to 4, as did Sagar, and Ivan has 3 different but, let’s face it, really same-ish foldables on his ‘Top 5’ list. So, in a way, I’ve assembled a ‘Top 5’ that’s not entirely mine – there’s one real personal pick, a couple of crowdsourced ones, and two more that are on here because…
