Musicboard, an app for music discovery and recommendations, has been struggling, according to its users. Over the past several months, users said the app experienced outages, the website went offline, and the Android app disappeared from the Play Store. This has concerned its devoted, if small, user base. (The app has been downloaded around 462,000 times to date, according to market intelligence provider Appfigures.) On Reddit, users have been recommending alternatives and offering each other support as they wait for any update. While it’s not surprising for an app to shut down, when there’s still an active user base, apps…

Oppo recently confirmed that it plans to launch its next foldable after the Chinese New Year. Now, a tipster has revealed the foldable’s launch timeline for China and select markets. Meanwhile, Oppo has also officially confirmed the ‘Find N6’ moniker. Based on Oppo’s earlier comments, we figured the Find N6 would debut in late February or early March. However, a tipster now claims that Oppo will unveil its next foldable on March 17, with the launch set to take place in China as well as select markets, including South Asia and the EU. Oppo Find N5 However, the tipster adds…

Have you ever heard the saying, “You have to learn how to walk before you can run?” The same can be true in human space exploration. To push capabilities further and ensure safe, successful missions, NASA must test ideas and solve challenges ahead of time. While Earth-based research and engineering helps NASA progress through various challenges, it can’t fully replicate the space environment. That’s where the International Space Station comes in — an out-of-this-world laboratory where astronauts help prepare for missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Since 2000, NASA and its partners have used the orbiting laboratory to conduct…

TL;DR Discord will soon treat all accounts as teen-friendly by default unless it’s confident you’re of an adult age. Access to age-restricted servers and features may require video selfie age checks or ID verification. The move echoes YouTube’s recent age-verification push, which frustrated many users. Last year, YouTube made it clear that if it couldn’t tell whether you were an adult, it would start treating your account as if it weren’t. Some users shrugged and verified their age, while others refused on principle and suddenly found large parts of YouTube locked behind kid-friendly restrictions. Discord is now set to head…

Health professionals have long had to deal with patients who inadvisably shoved a whole range of foreign objects up their behinds, often requiring medical intervention to retrieve them. It’s a surprisingly common issue. According to a 2023 study, there are around 4,000 cases a year of both male and female individuals visiting emergency departments for what the researchers euphemistically termed “rectal foreign bodies.” Now, in a twist to the age-old story that even the writing room of “Grey’s Anatomy” couldn’t have come up with, a man in France was rushed to the operating room after staffers at the Rangueil Hospital…

Back in 2021, Apple introduced a new feature with iOS 15 that uses your iPhone‘s motion sensors to measure how steady you are while walking. Called Walking Steadiness, it relies on custom algorithms to analyze balance, stability, and coordination, alerting users when their fall risk may be elevated. Apple now appears to be working on an improved version of the feature that could roll out later this year. Apple has been working on a Health app revamp for quite some time, with leaks from early last year pointing to the addition of an AI-powered health coach, codenamed Mulberry. Bloomberg previously…

Multitasking gets blamed for almost everything modern work has broken. Burnout, brain fog, and that constant feeling of being busy while finishing nothing that actually matters. But multitasking itself is not the real problem. The real problem is forced multitasking, baked into most operating systems by design, then framed as a personal failure when it inevitably wears you down. Most systems do not just allow multitasking; they demand it. They interrupt, redirect, and fragment your attention all day long, then act surprised when you end the day exhausted and behind. Linux approaches this differently. Not by promising productivity miracles, but…

Thinking about it, it’s kind of amazing how many devices we put to sleep in 2026 instead of powering them down. In all likelihood, your smartphone and tablet are on 24/7, along with any smart speakers or TVs. Even smartwatches and VR headsets are expected to stay on to some degree when we’re not wearing them, if just to fetch software updates and be ready to go at a moment’s notice. Back in the 1990s, you would’ve been called crazy for keeping your TV or Discman on. The same goes for computers. When I was growing up, putting a PC…

SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years. Elon Musk is talking about building a city on the Moon at a faster pace. The real reason is to make hundreds of trillions from AI data centers in space. Moon resources will increase AI satellites from 100 to 1000 gigawatts per year from earth by ten times by 2040 and then one hundred times by 2050. This will make SpaceX, XAi and Tesla thousands of trillions of dollars eacy.…
