When choosing a pair of wireless earbuds, buyers often have to weigh buying from a trusted audio brand versus going with a smartphone brand. Legacy audio companies like Bose and Sony usually offer an edge in sound quality, but phone brands like Apple, Samsung, and Google provide unparalleled software integration with their ecosystem devices. For those who value clever software features and a hint of artificial intelligence, there are no better options on the market than the Google Pixel Buds 2a or the Pixel Buds Pro 2. Both pairs of earbuds support the basics, such as active noise cancellation to…
The Galaxy A37 and A57 are expected to drop next month, and usually, the current models become more affordable. However, according to the latest tip, the company is planning to hike the prices of Galaxy A models in India by around INR 1,000. The Galaxy A56, on the other hand, will see its price go up by INR 2,000. The new prices will go into effect next week as early as Monday. The most probable reason for the price hikes is the cost of memory chips. You’ve probably already seen the memes online. They are all about a shortage in…
Home » Artificial intelligence » Infinite Money Glitch There was a 110 year increase of 1000 times in world electricity from 1915 WW1 levels to today. The Industrial revolution increased the world economy by 100 times and increased electricity from nothing but after the first 25 years of establishing electricity increased it by 1000X. Only about 1% of global electricity is used for AI right now. ~200 TWh. 500 TWh for all data centers. The path is clear to use SpaceX Starship to have 3000-5000 launches per year and the mass production of 1 million satellites to achieve 1000 times…

Viewing PDF files in my browser or with Acrobat Reader is a piece of cake, but editing them is always an issue. I either have to pay for software I’ll hardly use or scour the internet for sketchy PDF converter websites with questionable functionality. That’s why I was excited to come across a free app called PDFgear. It’s an all-in-one PDF viewer, creator, and editor available on multiple platforms so that I can use it on my Windows 11 laptop or Samsung Galaxy phone. I tried this free PDF editor for a week and won’t go back to Adobe after…
Gen AI in software engineering has moved well beyond autocomplete. The emerging frontier is agentic coding: AI systems capable of planning changes, executing them across multiple steps and iterating based on feedback. Yet despite the excitement around “AI agents that code,” most enterprise deployments underperform. The limiting factor is no longer the model. It’s context: The structure, history and intent surrounding the code being changed. In other words, enterprises are now facing a systems design problem: They have not yet engineered the environment these agents operate in.The shift from assistance to agencyThe past year has seen a rapid evolution from…
Two icons of discovery, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and NASA’s Curiosity rover, have earned places in TIME’s “Best Inventions Hall of Fame,” which recognizes the 25 groundbreaking inventions of the past quarter century that have had the most global impact, since TIME began its annual Best Inventions list in 2000.

Tumble dryers often get a kicking in the press, mostly for being expensive and even being called a ‘demon appliance’ by Martin Lewis for how much power they use. There’s truth to this, but I wouldn’t be without my heat pump tumble dryer. It’s more important to work out how and when to use a tumble dryer, or investing in a proper alternative. I wouldn’t bother with a heated airer One alternative to a tumble dryer is the heater airer. It’s a regular clothes airer, but a heating element warms the clothes, and aids evaporation of water. Running costs are…
It’s almost impossible to think of Linux without the terminal. This relationship spans decades, and for good reason. Scripting for automation, clarity with pipes, and the speed and control the terminal provides can’t be rivaled by a graphical interface. However, over the years, I have come to appreciate the GUI for a different kind of precision—not necessarily as a compromise. Visual feedback is important, and mastery of Linux means knowing when to reach for the terminal and when to embrace the GUI. The terminal excels at precision, scale, and automation Why experts adore it and why it remains irreplaceable One…

Boch Tassimo Finesse Friendly: one-minute reviewThe Tassimo Finesse Friendly from Bosch is a compact capsule-based coffee maker that’s an affordable alternative to similar machines from Nespresso and Keurig. It works in much the same way as its rivals, accepting proprietary capsules, piercing them, and forcing hot water through to brew your drink.Unlike some other small coffee makers, it can also brew milky drinks such as lattes if you use…
