Residents of the U.S. Mid-Atlantic endured a formidable winter in 2025-2026, marked by several high-impact storms and prolonged stretches of cold temperatures that left parts of the Chesapeake Bay frozen over. Longtime residents may recall a winter nearly 50 years ago when the region saw even more widespread ice cover. The MSS (Multispectral Scanner System) on Landsat 1 captured this image during the exceptionally cold winter of 1976-1977. The mosaic combines two Landsat scenes acquired on February 7 with a third captured on February 8. The landscape is shown in false color (MSS bands 6-5-4), in which ice appears in…

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Uranus, the seventh planet from the Sun, has only been visited once by NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft, which performed a flyby of the ice giant in 1986. It came within just tens of thousands of miles of the planet’s cloud tops, where it appeared as a surprisingly “drab” light-blue orb in the blackness of space, over a billion miles from Earth. Now, thanks to recent observations by NASA’s groundbreaking James Webb Space Telescope, we’re getting an unprecedented peek inside the layers of its…
Honor isn’t reinventing its book-style foldable this year, but with the Magic V6, it doesn’t really need to. Instead, the company has delivered what feels like a careful refinement of an already accomplished formula. It is thinner in places and tougher where it matters. Moreover, it packs meaningful internal upgrades without upsetting the balance that made its predecessor so compelling. On paper, the Magic V6 looks familiar. It retains the slim, symmetrical profile that has become a hallmark of Honor’s foldables. It measures 8.75mm when folded on the White model and just 4.0mm when unfolded. Even the heavier colourways tip…
Lenovo has a long-standing habit of showing up to MWC with at least one laptop concept that makes you stop in your tracks and double back for a closer look. Usually, those concepts are eye-catching but clearly something that makes you go – “cool, but never happening.” The ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop we saw back in 2024 was one such futuristic laptop, but at MWC 2026, things felt different. It’s not the kind of thing you just admire behind glass; it’s actually something you can see yourself using. Lenovo showcased its new ThinkBook Modular AI PC concept, and surprisingly, it…

Anthropic’s Claude has surged past ChatGPT on the App Store charts, marking one of the most dramatic shakeups yet in the consumer AI race. As reported first by CNBC, Claude jumped to the top download spots shortly after controversy erupted around AI partnerships with the U.S. Department of Defence. Digital Trends The timing has raised eyebrows across the tech industry. While AI app rankings often shift based on new features or marketing pushes, this spike appears tied to public reaction and growing debate around how AI companies work with governments. The result: a sudden wave of interest in alternatives. The…
Backup disasters are quiet. They usually start with you thinking, this will take two minutes, and end with you staring at your screen in that very specific way Linux users know too well. That was me a few weeks ago. I was not doing anything spicy. No sketchy PPAs, no kernel experiments, but just routine maintenance. The digital equivalent of straightening a picture frame. I have done it a hundred times. And then the machine started acting… weird. Not broken, because that would almost be easier. It still booted and still opened things. But the vibe was off. Something that…
