I was six when my Pokémon journey began. In 2004, I got a Game Boy Advance SP and went to a local toy store with my parents to get two games — I chose Sonic Advance 2 and Pokémon LeafGreen.I’d play FireRed later, as well as Yellow, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and so on through the series (though I did stop doubling up for most generations from Diamond onwards), but…
TikTok has partnered with Apple Music to allow subscribers of the streaming service to play full songs without leaving its social network, the company announced on Wednesday. Apple Music subscribers who discover a song they like on their TikTok “For You” page or Sound Detail Page can tap the new “Play Full Song” button to open up an Apple Music player to listen to the full track. TikTok, which is known for driving music trends and viral songs, said the new feature is designed to make it easier to go from the moment of discovery to deeper listening. It’s worth…
YouTube’s biggest growth these past few years has come from viewership on TVs, and the Google-owned company is now looking to make some more money from that. One way to do it is the introduction of unskippable 30-second ads on TVs. These are now available for advertisers globally. The company explains to advertisers that its AI “dynamically optimizes between 6-second Bumpers, 15-second standard, and 30-second connected TV-only non-skippable ad formats, ensuring your campaign reaches the right audience at the right time”. Obviously, the solution is to pay for YouTube Premium if you hate ads. YouTube even made Premium Lite, the…

Slow home internet rarely comes down to your broadband plan alone, as outdated routers often struggle to keep up with modern streaming, gaming and smart home demands despite quietly running everything in the background. But with the Netgear Nighthawk WiFi 7 Router (RS700S) now £549.99, down from £699.99, replacing an ageing router with something built for modern streaming and gaming demands becomes a far easier upgrade to justify. Netgear Nighthawk WiFi 7 router is back to its best price The Netgear Nighthawk WiFi 7 router is officially back at its best price, offering a rare chance to grab top‑tier wireless…
Rita El Khoury / Android AuthorityTL;DR A lesser-known Circle to Search trick lets you stack multiple searches on the same screen instead of stopping after one. Just long-press the gesture bar or home button again after the first result and circle another object to add more context. It’s basically an Easter egg that shows how fast and flexible the feature is, even if it won’t boost productivity. Google’s Circle to Search has already changed how people search on Android. Now, instead of copying text, switching apps, or typing keywords, you just circle anything on your screen, and Google handles the…
Written by William Farrand, Senior Research Scientist, Space Science Institute Earth planning date: Friday, March 6, 2026 Curiosity is in the last stage of its exploration of the spiderweb-like boxwork unit. This stage consists of exploring the eastern and southern borders of this terrain. There were two multi-sol plans assembled this week. The previous plan put Curiosity at a site on the eastern extent of the boxwork unit with bedrock that allowed for brushing and in-place measurements with APXS and MAHLI of the bedrock target “Infiernillo.” The ChemCam also took a LIBS chemical measurement of this target as well as…
As cryptocurrency adoption grows worldwide, security is increasingly important for crypto exchanges like OKX. For both experienced users and newcomers in the digital asset economy, finding a safe exchange platform is a top priority. Although each user may have their own preferred platform, determining the safest option relies on clear security standards. Understanding Past Threats to Exchange Security Amid the rise of crypto exchanges in the 2010s, security was largely overlooked. A hack of the Mt. Gox exchange in 2011 made the need for change clear, when about 25,000 Bitcoins were stolen; the event led to the platform’s collapse, losing about $450…
Add another reason to the growing pile of reasons why it might be a good idea to shill out $13.99/month to pay for YouTube Premium: if you use the free version of YouTube and have to watch ads before and during some videos, you may have been bedeviled by an annoying bug over the past few months. If you open the official YouTube app on either your Apple or Android mobile device and blow up a video so it takes up your entire screen, you may see persistent ads in the lower corner that don’t go away no matter how…
The longevity of TVs is both better than ever and worse than it used to be. It’s worse in that with CRTs, the expectation was that you could keep them almost indefinitely — there are retro gamers playing on TVs that are 20 to 30 years old. Things are better in that a lot of the early problems with LCDs and OLEDs have been shaken out, and it’s possible to keep a TV running smoothly until you’d want to upgrade anyway. The question remains, though — which type of TV lasts the longest? I’m going to exclude CRTs from this…
