I’ve loved journaling on paper for as long as I can remember. As a child, I was always on the lookout for diaries that looked cute, the kind you want to pour your thoughts into without overthinking. Those pages were filled with half-formed ideas, random doodles, and whatever was on my mind at the time. I am not exaggerating when I say I have filled over 20 diaries growing up, journaling and sketching my way through different phases of childhood. It also became a quiet tradition at home. Every new year, my parents would gift me a fresh diary, and…

On January 23 around 7:40 a.m. near Grant Elementary School, Santa Monica Waymo’s driverless Jaguar I-Pace hit a child who ran from behind a double-parked SUV amid crossing guards and stopped cars. The vehicle braked from 17 mph to under 6 mph before minor-impact contact, then called 911 and stayed until police cleared it; the child walked away with minor injuries. NHTSA opened probe PE26001 to check caution near schools, speed compliance, and response protocols, amid prior Waymo issues like school bus failures in Atlanta and Austin. My analysis shows Waymo is safer than the average US human driver. But…

Back in November, Google brought Gemini to Google Maps, and the chatbot was available to use during driving navigation. Now, it’s also available for walking and cycling directions. So you can use it as your personal walking tour guide, according to Google. Just ask it anything you want – be that what neighborhood you’re in, what the top rated restaurants are nearby, that sort of thing. Gemini will recommend options along your route based on “Maps’ fresh, comprehensive information about the real world”. And if you’re cycling, Gemini’s hands-free help is even more valuable. It can tell you what your…

In the wake of a winter storm that blanketed numerous U.S. states with snow and ice, unusually low temperatures continued to grip a large swath of the nation east of the Rockies in late January 2026. The cold spell was notable for severity, longevity, and geographic scope. This animation depicts surface air temperatures across part of the Northern Hemisphere, including North America, from January 21 to 29. It combines satellite observations with temperatures calculated by a version of the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) global model, which uses mathematical equations to simulate physical processes in the atmosphere. Dark blue areas indicate the…

Sony’s WF-1000XM6 earbuds are tipped to launch soon with a new ‘Sandpink’ colour option, alongside black and silver, marking the first time the WF-1000X series has debuted with more than two finishes. Fresh leaks have reignited interest in Sony’s next-generation wireless earbuds after a quiet spell. According to Roland Quandt, the WF-1000XM6 will arrive in Sandpink, expanding beyond the black and silver finishes that defined the WF-1000XM5 when it launched in July 2023. Sony later added Smoky Pink to the WF-1000XM5 range in September 2024, but this marks the first time the company has offered a broader colour palette at…

Amazon doesn’t exactly advertise the privacy controls buried in Fire TV’s settings menus. After months of being greeted by promotional video clips every time I powered on my TCL 75-Inch S5 4K Fire TVs, I finally sat down and dug through every submenu I could find. The tools to reclaim your home screen have been there all along—they’re just not obvious. I’d already customized other aspects of my Fire TV setup across both basement TVs, one in the main living area, and another in my home gym. But the constant advertising assault deserved its own focused session. Ten minutes later,…

C. Scott Brown / Android AuthorityTL;DR Google is testing two new tabs in Google TV’s navigation bar that help you find content more easily. These include “Free” and “Shop” sections, which sort free-to-play and paid content into different sections. Google also introduced a similar Free page to Android TV with an update last month. Last September, Google TV’s homescreen received an updated navigation bar along with a shortcut to launching Gemini. While that update is still rolling out to users, Google appears to be testing a new set of changes to the navigation bar, making it easier to browse content…

DNA stores the body’s operating playbook. Some genes encode proteins. Other sections change a cell’s behavior by regulating which genes are turned on or off. For yet others, the dark matter of the genome, the purpose remains mysterious—if they have any at all.Normally, these genetic instructions conduct the symphony of proteins and molecules that keep cells humming along. But even a tiny typo can throw molecular programs into chaos. Scientists have painstakingly connected many DNA mutations—some in genes, others in regulatory regions—to a range of humanity’s most devastating diseases. But a full understanding of the genome remains out of reach,…
