For many of us, being able to watch movies and TV shows in the best possible quality at home is something we aim to achieve. Realistically, that will mean pairing one of the best TVs with one of the best soundbars. For the fortunate few, however, the possibility of having a dedicated home theater space, complete with rows of chairs, soundproofing and a cinema-like projection system is one that’s very real indeed (the rest of us are still able to drool over enviable custom install theaters, of course).And nobody does custom home theater installations quite like David Moseley and his…

If the next three Version 3 Starship flights go as planned. Flight 12 in May is the V3 rocket debut with in-space Raptor relight. Flight 13 will have orbital insertion and possibly initial commercial V3 Starlink deployments. Flight 13 should have booster recovery and if things go good a Starship catch attempt. Flight 14 could get to full Booster and Starship relaunch and recovery). We could get to rapid iteration on V3 hardware and commercial launch in three flights. Youtube Channel What About It shows how the barges can be used to transport the Starship and the Booster. SpaceX has…

As Google launched the Pixel 10a, I did what everyone else does: opened the sheet, compared the chip with what other smartphones offer at the same price, and felt the familiar unease. I asked myself one question: “Why is Google even doing this?”  The Pixel 10a featured a Tensor G4 chip (from 2024) that didn’t impress in benchmarks, thicker front bezels, a 120Hz display without a truly variable refresh rate, no telephoto camera, and a battery that supported slower charging than the competition. On paper, it looked like a phone that lost a fight before even entering the ring (and…

We spend a lot of time in the kitchen in my house. It’s where we congregate multiple times a day to make dinner, catch up on how things are going, and debrief about what happened that day. There are spontaneous dance parties and core memories that have taken place in my kitchen that I’m always appreciative of. It’s also a place where my smart home gadgets have thrived. People may think of their smart home gadgets as ones spread out around the house. We have smart sensors on our windows, video doorbells at the front and garage doors, and my…

Huawei unveiled its new-look Pura series this week. The Pura X Max foldable caught the most eyeballs with its shorter and wider design, which many think matches the much-anticipated iPhone Fold.

The Bitwarden command-line interface (CLI) NPM package was compromised in a supply chain attack that appears tied to previous campaigns against the open source software (OSS) ecosystem. One of the most popular open source password management platforms, with over 250,000 monthly downloads, Bitwarden allows enterprises to secure authentication with zero-knowledge encryption, password sharing, and policy and credential management. On Thursday, multiple security firms warned that version 2026.4.0 of the Bitwarden CLI’s NPM package contained malicious code to fetch a JavaScript payload designed to steal credentials and secrets from victim machines. The malicious package contained an altered execution path to run…

This shimmering region of star-formation, a close-up of the Trifid Nebula about 5,000 light-years from Earth, was captured in intricate detail by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope in an image released on April 20, 2026. The colors in Hubble’s visible light image, which marks the 36th anniversary of the mission’s launch on April 24, are reminiscent of an underwater scene filled with fine-grained sediments fluttering through the ocean’s depths. Several massive stars, which are outside this field of view, have shaped this region for at least 300,000 years. Their powerful winds continue to blow an enormous bubble, a small portion of which is shown…

The Samsung Galaxy S26 series started off with strong pre-orders in late March and held its prices for a while, but now the flagship trio has settled at a new normal. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is by far the most popular model of the three, in part due to having the unique Privacy Display, but also because of the inherent advantage of the Ultra model. Earlier this week, we published an S26 Ultra vs. S26+ comparison article. We have also compared the new Ultra with the S25 Ultra and pitted it against the iPhone 17 Pro Max. …
