In 2017, Elon Musk signed an open letter calling on the United Nations to ban the development of autonomous weapons. “We do not have long to act,” the letter read. “Once this Pandora’s box is opened, it will be hard to close.” In 2018, he signed a pledge by the Future of Life Institute, agreeing that “the decision to take a human life should never be delegated to a machine” and that “we will neither participate in nor support the development, manufacture, trade, or use of lethal autonomous weapons.” But the draw of big government contracts to do exactly what…

If you’re a fan after Beats headphones, we’re here to help you make the right choice with this list of the best Beats headphones.

One of my favorite things to do at the end of the day is curl up on the couch or plop into my office chair with a movie or game in mind to help me wind down. But there was one thing I always wanted to do when I got my own place — set up those neat lights I always saw on YouTube from popular TechTubers. I’ve had a set of Govee light bars for a few years at this point, but even my upgraded LG TV in the living room didn’t have a proper USB port to plug…

The company reportedly wants its smart glasses to stand out in terms of build quality and camera technology. The pendant is designed to be the “eyes and ears” of your iPhone. Apple has been looking to break into new product categories. It’s previously been reported that the Cupertino-based firm is working on several different projects, with a focus on AI. This includes smart glasses, camera-equipped AirPods, and an AI-powered pendant. A new report has shed more light on what exactly Apple is up…

How Many Scheduled Reminders & Queries Can xAI Grok 4.20 Handle Per User?Current practical limit is 150–200 active trackers comfortably, with no degradation in quality. It can simultaneously track dozens of companies, technologies, events, launches, earnings, regulatory filings, production numbers, funding rounds, etc.Real-world usage, it routinely manages 80–120 active items for power users without issue. If we go above ~200, it will tell you clearly which ones are lower priority so we can optimize. How to Scale This Into a Full Portfolio Monitoring SystemHere’s the most efficient way to scale this with me:Option A – Simple & Immediate (Recommended to…

After teasing the Pixel 10a a couple of weeks ago, Google has now officially unveiled everything there is to know about its latest mid-range phone. For starters, if you’re looking at the Pixel 10a in the image above and struggling to tell it apart from the Pixel 9a, you’re not alone. On the surface, the two look nearly identical, and the Pixel 10a closely mirrors the Pixel 9a in overall design and hardware. That said, there are a few key differences between the Pixel 10a and 9a that are worth pointing out. Before we dive into those changes, here’s the…

The NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) performed an assessment to characterize the effects of abnormal grain growth (AGG) within a metallic liner of a composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV). This effort focused on evaluating the mechanical response of the liner material, including the strain amplification factor (SAF), using a series of custom-designed coupons that incorporated both metal and composite overwrap. The study demonstrated that this approach was effective and practical to characterize strain localization under various conditions and showed strong correlation with modeling results. Additionally, preliminary investigations of phase coherence imaging (PCI), an ultrasonic technique, offered promise in detecting…

I copy and paste all day on my computer. Research links, some motivational quotes that I like, drafted articles, email replies, headers that I’m testing, and whatnot. I’ve always assumed that clipboard managers are meant for software developers, business professionals, and the like. I thought the built-in copy-and-paste worked just fine for me. That was until I paid attention to how often I’m re-copying the same links, digging through my browsing history just to find what I had copied, or accidentally overriding something really important. It wasn’t a huge problem. Rather, it was a small one happening constantly and creating…
