There’s still an appeal to live TV, despite all the other entertainment options on the internet. Some kinds of content remain exclusive to live channels, particularly sports, and when it isn’t exclusive, there can be a small joy at discovering something new by accident, or realizing that you’re witnessing something major alongside millions of other people. More rarely, it’s nice to have a non-stop stream of background entertainment, whether it’s The Joy of Painting or a Shaw Brothers marathon. YouTube TV is considered the king of live TV services in the US, and I actually did enjoy it to a…

On the Feb 12, 2026 USSF-87 launch, one of Vulcan’s four Northrop Grumman GEM 63XL solid rocket boosters (SRBs) suffered a nozzle burn-through (visible fiery plume ~20–30 seconds after liftoff). This is the second identical anomaly (first occurred on Vulcan’s second flight in Oct 2024).The mission still succeeded (core stage compensated), but ULA and Northrop Grumman have launched a full root cause investigation, including debris recovery from the ocean. The Space Force is involved. Is ULA Vulcan Grounded?Yes, effectively grounded for now.ULA has stated they will not fly the next Vulcan mission until the root cause is identified and corrective…

Ever since OpenAI acquired ex-Apple chief designer Jony Ive’s design startup, rumors have been rampant about what kind of product the collaboration will yield. Clearly, it would have to be some sort of hardware piece – a first for OpenAI. At first, insiders hinted at an AI pen, then the clues shifted things towards something simpler – AI earbuds. Now insiders familiar with the matter claim that there are three hardware products in the pipeline – a wearable pin-like device, smart glasses and a smart speaker. The latter might just be first out the door. Apparently, a team of over…

As AI companies and startups push their way into the web browser market, the world’s biggest browser, Google Chrome, is rolling out a handful of new features. The company on Thursday announced the official launch of a trio of options, including Split View, PDF annotations, and a Save to Google Drive feature, designed to more deeply integrate Chrome with one of Google’s other online services. While these particular additions aren’t focused on AI, Google already integrated its Gemini AI assistant into Chrome. The move was made in response to the increased competition from AI providers like OpenAI and Perplexity, which…

A wounded England and a galvanized Ireland face off at Twickenham this Saturday in what looks like a second-place decider – possibly more if France slip up somewhere down the line. Andy Farrell’s men had entered the Six Nations as title hopefuls, a tag that latched onto Steve Borthwick’s group when Ireland were annihilated in their opener… only for England to be shredded by an out-of-sorts Scotland.More than any other fixture, this is the one both teams must win in order for their respective campaigns not to be written off as a complete failure. The line really is that fine.…

For the first time in more than 150 years, giant tortoises are returning to the wild on Floreana Island in the Galápagos — guided by NASA satellite data that helps scientists discover where the animals can find food, water, and nesting habitat. The effort, a collaboration between the Galápagos National Park Directorate and Galápagos Conservancy, marks a key milestone in restoring tortoise populations to one of the most ecologically distinctive archipelagos on Earth. On Floreana Island, tortoises disappeared in the mid-1800s after heavy hunting by whalers and the introduction of new predators like pigs and rats, which consumed tortoise eggs…

Ahead of an artificial intelligence conference held last April, peer reviewers considered papers written by “Carl” alongside other submissions. What the reviewers did not know was that, unlike other authors, Carl wasn’t a scientific researcher, but rather an AI system built by the tech company Autoscience Institute, which says that the model can accelerate artificial intelligence research. And at least according to the humans involved in the review process, the papers were good enough for the conference: In the double-blind peer review process, three of the four papers, which were authored by Carl (with varying levels of human input) were…

WhatsApp has introduced Group Message History, a new feature that allows recent chat messages to be shared with newly added members so they can catch up without interrupting ongoing conversations.

Group Message History keeps all shared messages end-to-end encrypted, maintaining the same privacy protections as standard personal and group messages across the platform. When a user adds a new participant to a group, WhatsApp now…
