Whether they’re used for powering your TV remote or making sure that any electronic gifts given on Christmas Day are ready to go right out of the box, having a selection of batteries on hand is essential for any household. Of course, with so much choice out there, it can be difficult to know whether or not you’re always getting the most bang for your buck, but that’s why our collection of the best AA and AAA batteries can help you out. If you’re looking to stock up on batteries (at least enough to last you until next November) then…

Ever since Game of Thrones became a pop culture phenomenon in the 2010s, studios have tried to make their own high fantasy epics. By and large, this hasn’t gone well. It’s not that there aren’t any good fantasy series out there, but a lot of the highest-profile ones have slipped up. The Witcher changed lead actors partway through to much fan dissatisfaction. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is expensive but underwhelming. And The Wheel of Time was just finding its footing when Amazon canceled it, something I will never stop being mad about. But you don’t…

Joe Maring / Android AuthorityTL;DR YouTube is updating its search filters menu. A new filter has been added, two have been removed, and two have been renamed. The menu has also been reorganized. When searching for a video on YouTube, you can refine the results by opening the search filters menu. On desktop, you’ll find the button for the filter menu near the top right of the screen after you begin a search. You’ll have to tap on the vertical three dots in the top right corner if you’re on mobile. If you frequently use these filters, the menu will…

Our immune system is a fierce brigade. Roaming immune cells scan for bacteria, viruses, and other invaders. They also communicate with tissues to catch early signs of cancer. After detecting a threat, the immune system kickstarts formidable defenses to snuff it out.But our immunity loses power as we age. Immune cells dwindle, and those that remain struggle to perform their usual roles. As a result, immune defenses weaken, increasing the chances of infection and cancer. This also makes vaccines less effective in older adults.Now, a new treatment using mRNA technology similar to that in Covid vaccines rejuvenated the immune systems…

Fresh leaks from Android 17’s Canary build suggest that Google is actively working on how notifications behave for locked apps. According to a new Android Authority report, notifications from apps protected by the operating system’s native app lock feature will still appear, but without the key information. For instance, if someone has locked WhatsApp, and there’s a new message while your phone is sleeping, a new notification from the app should still show up on the device (either on the lock screen or as a bubble at the top of the screen), but the message and the chat shouldn’t be…

A new over-the-air (OTA) software patch from Microsoft, build 19426.20218 of the Outlook (Classic) Windows client, has inadvertently introduced a novel bug into the iconic email program: upon updating, users are reporting the inability to open ‘encrypt only’ emails through regular means (via TechRadar) Upon updating to this bugged build of Outlook (Classic), attempting to open an ‘encrypt only’ email may result in an error message appearing on-screen. Rather than business as usual, text will appear within the app’s Reading Pain section that reads: “This message with restricted permission cannot be viewed in the reading pane until you verify your…

A simple medical issue as mundane as an infection is far more dangerous when orbiting the Earth hundreds of miles above the surface in a confined spacecraft. Apollo 7 astronaut Wally Schirra famously came down with a nasty head cold a mere 15 hours into the mission in 1967, with ground control warning him he could shatter his eardrums while returning to Earth with bad congestion. Given the lack of gravity, even a runny nose can turn into an extremely unpleasant experience, forcing astronauts to resort to unusual measures just to drain mucus from their nasal passages. In short, there…

We need to talk about the traffic cone in the room. For almost 20 years, VLC media player has been my go-to “install this first” app, especially given its top-secret features. It’s the digital Honda Civic of media players. It’s not particularly sexy, and the dashboard is a bit cluttered, but it will get you from point A to point B without breaking down, regardless of what file format you throw in the trunk. However, if you care about how the drive actually feels—if you want frame-perfect video screenshots and playback, near-instant launch times, and an interface that doesn’t look…
