Adult content has never been as accessible as it is now, thanks to the internet. Hell, online smut played a major role in the rise of the web itself in the 1990s. With that glut of porn, some have voiced concerns that some people are consuming too much of the stuff or even becoming addicted, which they claim could have consequences like regulating emotions or impaired sexual functioning. But as PsyPost reports, these concerns may be overblown. Researchers at the University of Pécs in Hungary have found that it doesn’t matter how frequently one watches porn; the reasons why somebody…
One area that hasn’t received quite as much attention from Samsung’s smorgasbord of new product launches is its new Music Studio smart speakers. The Music Studio 5 and Music Studio 7 (who knows what happened to Music Studio 6) are Samsung’s latest attempt to take on the best Sonos speakers. The specs impress, the design intrigues with Erwan Bouroullec (who also designed The Serif) returning to cement his obsession with circles. They look simple, elegant, and from what I’ve heard so far, they sound good too. What I don’t know is the price for these speakers, though. We know Samsung…

vision for healthcare in America Healthcare broken: Americans pay double what other nations for inferior outcomes. Drugs cost 10× more in US. Trump’s demanded most-favored-nation pricing (negotiate lower prices like other countries pay). Pressure pharma without killing innovation (make offers that they cannot refuse). Goal is affordability + access. Think healthcare as investment (extra work year from better health = trillions in GDP).Methods are laws, rulemaking, convening power (safe harbors for industry talks). Avoid lawfare delays.Universal access desired, but must preserve incentives (no waitlists like socialized systems). US superior outcomes but high cost. AI & self-directed healthcare AI outperforms average…
In what is one of the most important developments in the Chinese auto industry, Xiaomi’s SU7 has outsold Tesla’s Model 3 in 2025. The information comes from the China Passenger Car Association (via scmp.com). The Chinese smartphone maker delivered 258,164 units of its first EV. Meanwhile, Tesla sold only 200,361 Model 3s, marking the first time since Tesla’s Chinese launch that another brand has overtaken it in the world’s largest EV market. Nirave Gondhia / Digital Trends Xiaomi’s formula for success There are quite a few reasons behind this. First, Xiaomi has undercut the Model 3’s pricing by around 9%…
One of my biggest frustrations with Docker images is how large they can get. Despite how I try to carefully structure my Dockerfiles and specific commands I use to manage Docker, I’m still at their mercy. Aside from the wasted disk space, builds take forever, and I spend a lot of time tracking down unnecessary dependencies. I accepted this as unavoidable until I tried SlimToolKit. Initially, I was skeptical because its promise sounded too good to be true. It would shrink my containers dramatically but not touch my Dockerfiles or mess with my workflow. However, what followed after I used…
I take my home audio very seriously. I mean, I have five receivers in my house, and while they aren’t all plugged in, I’d certainly dig some of the old ones out before I ever pick up a soundbar. Now, some of them are more feature-rich than others. I’m a big Dolby Atmos fan, so I need something that can use at least seven speakers. My main setup is 5.1.2, which means I have the five regular speakers and then two height speakers for Atmos. I should really get around to upgrading my Atmos speakers one day, but they get…

This week, Asus confirmed that it won’t be making any more smartphones. The company will instead focus its energy on R&D on commercial PCs and physical AI (i.e., robotics and smart glasses). The company will continue to support existing smartphones, however. Per Ice Universe, Samsung will unveil the S26 series on February 25. Pre-orders will begin on February 26 and end on March 4. Then a pre-sale period from March 5 to March 10, and then general sales from March 11. The Galaxy S26 Ultra was initially reported to ship in four colors, but Evleaks says we’re expecting more than…
