Stephen Headrick / Android AuthorityI think I did it. I think I finally found a system that works for my brain. A system that brings my work and personal lives together under one roof and allows me to stay organized across tasks, documents, and projects — and it’s finally available on Android. This is, after all, the holy grail of productivity apps, right?Productivity apps are a dime a dozen these days, and I’ve tried way too many in search of something that works for me. But after consistently using it for a while now, I feel confident saying that the…
Four crew members of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-12 mission launched at 5:15 a.m. EST Friday from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida for a science expedition aboard the International Space Station. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket propelled a Dragon spacecraft into orbit carrying NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev. The spacecraft will dock autonomously to the space-facing port of the station’s Harmony module at approximately 3:15 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 14. “With Crew-12 safely on orbit, America and our international partners once again…
Google has just updated the Deep Think mode for its Gemini 3 model, and it’s a massive step forward for chores involving 3D printing. For the unaware, Deep Think mode focuses on enhanced multimodal understanding and reasoning, and its latest upgrade pushes it further for engineering, research, and scientific tasks. The core focus is going from theoretical to practical applications. One of those application areas is 3D printing. Essentially, Gemini 3 Deep Think is going to turn your rough sketches into a proper 3D model and generate a file ready for feeding to a 3D printer. What you have here…
Your TV is packed with different HDMI ports, so I don’t blame you for not knowing the difference between them all. It gets even more complicated once you start reading the different things on the back of your TV. You’ll see things like HDMI 2.0, 2.1, and eARC. Each of these ports do a different thing, and the problem is that your Apple TV 4K will largely work the exact same no matter what port you select. Once you start to learn more about what these ports do, you’ll know the eARC port is meant for audio equipment such as…
While we have sent probes billions of kilometers into interstellar space, humans have barely scratched the surface of our own planet, not even making it through the thin crust.Information about Earth’s deep interior comes mainly from geophysics and is at a premium. We know it consists of a solid crust, a rocky mantle, a liquid outer core and solid inner core. But what precisely goes on in each layer—and between them—is a mystery. Now our research uses our planet’s magnetism to cast light on the most significant interface in the Earth’s interior: its core-mantle boundary.Roughly 3,000 kilometers beneath our feet,…
A few days ago, Google said it would soon release the first Android 17 beta, and it did, but it was also quick to halt the release without any explanation. Well, the good news is that Google has resumed releasing Android 17 Beta 1, and it’s now available for Pixel devices. Google says this build continues its work for more adaptable Android apps and brings significant enhancements to camera and media capabilities. Additionally, the Android 17 build includes expanded profiles for companion devices and new tools to optimize connectivity. Google has also replaced Developer Previews with Android Canary, which was…
Tablets are a genuinely great piece of hardware to have in the home. While some folks may scoff at the thought of using something that’s basically just an enlarged phone without calling capabilities, they’re great for a plethora of different things. Watching your favorite shows or movies, playing games, and even using them for video calls is a great thing. But a budget tablet can sometimes cause more headaches than it’s worth. I’ve been using a Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ since 2024 at this point, and recently, it’s started to get on the slower side. The tablet still has a…

I’m not going to get to have the Acer Veriton GN100 for long, so this is more of a hands-on discussion than an actual review.My first reaction, out of the box, to the Acer Veriton GN100 is that it all seems remarkably familiar. An elegant mini-PC style case with a car-grill aesthetic, a selection of USB-C ports alongside a 10GbE LAN port and the mercurial NVIDIA ConnectX-7 SmartNIC.While it’s…
Jaap Arriens/NurPhoto via Getty Images OpenAI is finally sunsetting GPT-4o, a controversial version of ChatGPT known for its sycophantic style and its central role in a slew of disturbing user safety lawsuits. GPT-4o devotees, many of whom have a deep emotional attachment to the model, have been in turmoil — and copycat services claiming to recreate GPT-4o have already cropped up to take the model’s place. Consider just4o.chat, a service that expressly markets itself as the “platform for people who miss 4o.” It appears to have been launched in November 2025, shortly OpenAI warned developers that GPT-4o would soon be shut down.…

Viltrox AF 85mm F1.4 Pro: one-minute reviewI’ve had a busy time reviewing Viltrox lenses this year – including a range of primes such as the cheap and characterful ‘body cap’ 28mm f/4.5 lens, my dream reportage photography 35mm f/1.2 lens, the buttery bokeh-delivering 135mm f/1.8 LAB and the lightweight 50mm f/2 Air.
