MechLands Vibe99: One-minute reviewThe MechLands Vibe99 is a mechanical keyboard that takes aim at the budget-end of the market, but does so without any apparent sacrifices to features or performance.It doesn’t make a great first impression, however. The retro aesthetic fails to charm, with its chunky design and the copious amounts of grey in my review unit merely looking downmarket. Fortunately, the bright and customizable RGB backlighting does help…
Joe Maring / Android AuthorityAs someone who grew up in the 90s, I can tell you that ringtones were once a major status symbol. It meant you had a cutting-edge phone capable of such witchcraft, after all. Unfortunately, it took less than a decade for custom ringtones to go from impressive to something most people considered tacky. The rise of smartphones and the bombardment of notifications didn’t help custom ringtones any, either.Even if not as popular as they once were, ringtones are still a great way to add a little flair to your phone, as long as you don’t go…
Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Uber and Lyft drivers in Atlanta are fed up with Waymo robotaxis. The Atlanta Rideshare Drivers Union is claiming that drivers have reported lower pay, longer waits between rides, and fewer fares since Waymo began offering its service in the city last June, Axios reports. As such, the union is calling on city and state leaders to curb Waymo’s expansion — and to consider some measures to easen its disruptive effects on their livelihoods. Liza Ramsey of the ARDU proposed a particularly bold…
There’s no getting around the fact that AI is everywhere. From our smartphones to even our fridges, it seems like all modern gadgets are equipped with AI that promises to make life easier. AI has also been steadily gaining traction within the beauty industry. Whether it’s an app that scans a selfie to determine potential skin issues or a pair of straighteners that use AI to adapt its temperature to your hair type, the guesswork is being taken out of skincare and beauty. But can you really trust AI to correctly diagnose a skin issue and provide you with the…
Amazon has pushed a key change to the use of DRM on its Kindle platform that has users up in arms. And the timing couldn’t be any worse, with an unknown change to the way popular ebook library app Libby works also causing uproar in the Kindle community. And both changes have the potential to push Kindle owners towards alternatives like Kobo. Neither of the changes was officially announced, and both were spotted by Kindle users first. But they both impact the way a ton of Kindle owners use their eReader in ways that shouldn’t be downplayed. Related The last…
There is, perhaps, no other director in Hollywood at this moment in time that is as marketable as Christopher Nolan. Lauded for his visionary epics, Nolan began his filmmaking career with his directorial debut of the independent neo-noir film, Following, in 1998. But it was the epic Dark Knight trilogy, a grounded and modern take on the Batman mythos, where Nolan truly made his mark on mainstream cinema. In the years and film projects that followed, Nolan has only exponentially grown in popularity due to his riveting, and at times, mind-bending sci-fi narratives in movies like The Prestige, Inception, and…
SpaceX already lifts about 85% of everything humanity puts in orbit — roughly 2,400 tons a year versus a few hundred for the rest of Earth combined, including China. The next Starship flights start stacking V3 satellites that add on the order of 20 Falcon 9 Starlink missions of capacity per launch. Starbase Louisiana is ~100× the Texas campus and triples Starship pads. If Starship reaches even 1,000 flights a year, SpaceX isn’t competing in space. It is Earth’s mass-to-orbit system — on the order of 99% of payload — while Terafab feeds the chips for AI both on the…
Apart from the new chipset, the camera upgrades, and Gemini Intelligence, the Pixel 11 Pro shipped with something that turned a lot of heads, in enthusiasm no less: the RGB light module on the back called HiLight. Before Google announced the feature, I was actually excited about it, thinking about all the potential use cases; the light could have been a subtle notification queue for users, one that doesn’t compel them to unlock the phone right away. However, Google tied the hardware to two use cases: Gemini interactions and calls from favorite contacts. Shikhar Mehrotra / Digital Trends That is exactly…
Windows 11 sets aside some storage space to function normally. That space is called “System & reserved.” It includes Windows system files, reserved storage, virtual memory, hibernation files, system restore, and shadow copies. They help Windows run properly. Generally, it takes up 20-40 GB of space. If it takes more than that, there may be […] This article System and reserved taking up too much space in Windows 11 first appeared on TheWindowsClub.com.
