For the last few months, I strongly felt that something was not right with my PC. On paper, my machine was more than capable. And it’s not even that old to throw such a low performance. My PC had a solid GPU and RAM. Also, it did not have any obvious performance bottlenecks. In reality, my PC was stuck in low-performance mode. Even my everyday tasks like video editing and multitasking between apps felt sluggish. My PC wasn’t broken, but it felt underwhelming. Like most users, I decided to check the usuals first. So, I closed background apps, updated drivers,…

Motorola is working on a new smartphone with the model number XT2607. This was just certified for sale in Brazil by Anatel. According to an earlier leak by Evan Blass, this device is codenamed Terrain26, though other information about it hasn’t been leaked yet. That, unfortunately, means we don’t know its commercial name. However, thanks to the Brazilian certification, we do know that it has 5G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, and a 6,500 mAh battery (with a rated capacity of 6,325 mAh). The phone will support 90W wired charging as well as wireless charging. All of these specs make it…

NASA is proposing SpaceX Starship now handles translunar injection (TLI) propulsion and the full landing role, while SLS/Orion is limited to LEO only. This shrinks Boeing’s role and gives more to SpaceX Starship. Artemis III (2027) — LEO Docking Test (Almost Unchanged, Now a Perfect Dress Rehearsal) Before today’s proposal (Feb 27 baseline):Orion (with 4 astronauts) launches on SLS into LEO. It practices rendezvous, docking, and joint operations with one or both commercial Human Landing Systems (HLS) — SpaceX’s Starship variant and/or Blue Origin’s Blue Moon. Full tests of life support, communications, propulsion, new xEVA suits, and docking procedures. No…

Nvidia saw a busy few days during its global GTC event hosted in San Jose. Alongside the launch of NemoClaw, Nvidia unveiled DLSS 5 which the company has hailed as its “most significant breakthrough in computer graphics” since real-time ray tracing. Although it might sound interesting, DLSS 5 has been met with significant backlash and criticism. We explain everything you need to know about Nvidia DLSS 5, including what it really is and how it will affect video games. We’ll also explain why there’s been such backlash and why gamers and developers alike are not happy with DLSS 5. What…

Joe Maring / Android AuthorityTL;DR T-Mobile says the latest T-Life update will bring faster performance and expanded account management features. Easy Switch and same-day DoorDash delivery are reannounced, after being introduced last year. New additions include in-app number changes and more tools for switching, plan management, and generally avoiding store visits. T-Mobile’s T-Life app hasn’t exactly had a smooth ride since launch, with ongoing complaints about bugs and reliability.

Kīlauea has entered its second year of episodic activity after reawakening in December 2024. Since then, the Hawaiian volcano has gone through dozens of bouts of lava fountaining, each lasting several hours to several days. Activity ramped up once again on March 10, 2026, for episode 43 of the eruption. From approximately 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. local time that day, lava spewed from two active vents on the southwest side of Halema‘uma‘u Crater, adding to the ever-thickening layer of fresh basaltic rock in the summit caldera. The flareup also featured the highest lava fountains of the current eruption, estimated…

Google has rolled out a fresh Android Canary build, and it looks more complete than you might expect from an experimental release. The catch is simple. This version exists to test ideas, not to promise them. Android Canary 2603 bundles practical additions like app lock, chat bubbles, and a redesigned screen recorder. It’s available across a wide range of Pixel devices, but this update is meant for developers rather than everyday use That context matters when reading into any of these changes. Features shown here can still be removed before a stable release, even if some eventually appear in beta…

Self-hosting has a reputation for being complicated. The kind of hobby that involves racks of hardware, endless configuration files, and a weekend disappearing into Docker logs. That can certainly happen if you want it to. But it doesn’t have to. Some of the most satisfying self-hosted projects are surprisingly small. A single container, a simple web interface, and suddenly you’ve built a service that normally lives somewhere in the cloud. If you have a spare computer, an old Raspberry Pi, or even a forgotten desktop sitting in a closet, you already have everything you need to get started. Here are…

I’ve enjoyed using the Xteink X4 since I wrote about it in January, but I’ll be the first to admit it has problems. You don’t have to hold the tiny magnetic e-reader for long to find them. It has a confusing number of buttons, and it’s hard to predict what they’ll do. It can’t actually stick to the back of most phones unless you’re willing to attach an additional magnetic ring or deal with it protruding out of the side of your phone. And it’s not always the best to use, or particularly good at displaying EPUBs. Despite those issues,…

In the past few months, a wave of tech corporations have announced significant staff cuts and attributed them to efficiency gains driven by artificial intelligence.Companies such as Atlassian, Block, and Amazon have announced they would lay off thousands of employees due to increased reliance on AI.The narrative these companies offer is consistent: AI is making human labor replaceable, and responsible management demands adjustment.The evidence, however, tells a more nuanced story.The Automation Story Is Partly TrueGenuine disruption is visible in specific corners of the labor market, though the scale of that disruption is commonly overstated. Research from Anthropic published earlier this…
