A NASA video (above) reveals in great detail how its upcoming Artemis II mission is expected to play out. The space agency released the animation last year, but seeing that the Artemis II astronauts could be heading to the moon as early as February 6, it’s a great time to watch it again. The Artemis II crew members — NASA’s Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman, and Christina Koch, together with the Canadian Space Agency’s Jeremy Hansen — will launch inside the Orion spacecraft, carried to space by the powerful SLS (Space Launch System) rocket. The crew will spend 10 days in…

After launching a messaging feature last August, Spotify is now rolling out group chats. The company announced this week that users can now share the podcasts, playlists, and audiobooks they’re listening to with up to 10 people. You can only start a chat with someone you’ve previously shared content with. For example, if you have a collaborative playlist with someone or have joined a Jam or a Blend together, you can start a conversation with them. The move comes as Spotify continues to invest in making its streaming app more social. Over the years, the company has gradually added social…

I’m going to preface this with a (sometimes) controversial perspective: lossless music is overrated. Yes, it is technically the purest your music can get, and it’s worth buying lossless albums from sites like Bandcamp for the sake of posterity. But even on top-end speakers, it can be indistinguishable from some compressed tracks, and it comes with serious limitations. Mainly, it demands enormous amounts of bandwidth and storage — you may not be able to use your Bluetooth headphones. With all that said, if you’re going to go lossless, you might as well go all the way. So which of the…

NASA is gearing up for the first crewed journey to the Moon in over half a century, a mission that could launch as soon as two weeks from now. And next year, the agency will finally attempt to return astronauts to the lunar surface itself as part of its Artemis 3 mission, which will dramatically increase the already considerable stakes. Particularly when it comes to stepping out of the spacecraft — the agency has yet to pick between Blue Origin and SpaceX’s offerings in that regard — staying protected from the extreme temperature swings, space radiation, and lack of atmosphere…

The OnePlus 10 Pro launched back in 2022 with Android 12 on board, and has since received three major OS updates taking it to Android 15. Actually, scratch that – the update to OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16 has just started rolling out. It’s only available in India at the moment, and arrives over-the-air as build NE2211_16.0.3.500(EX01). OnePlus promises that it will reach more regions and users in the near future. The update is going out in batches, and so even if you have a OnePlus 10 Pro purchased from India, it may not have received the update notification…

In Cairn, almost every person Aava meets as she ascends Mount Kami and every loved one who leaves her messages from back home, all continuously ask the same question: “Why are you attempting this climb?” It’s a question I kept asking myself when another slip cost me many minutes of careful progress, when my backpack was bereft of food and drink, and when I couldn’t see a clear path…

If you’ve ever dug through your Windows installation drive looking for space hogs, you’ve probably stumbled upon the WinSxS folder. It’s one of those system folders that quietly balloons to 10GB or more without you noticing, and your first instinct might be to delete it. Don’t—Windows needs it to function, and removing files manually will break your system. The WinSxS folder stores system components, including older versions that Windows keeps for updates and rollbacks. The good news is that you can safely trim it down using built-in tools rather than manually hunting for the largest files and folders on your…
