Or can you?I turned to my good friend Gemini and asked if it knew any tricks I could use to save money on my purchase, and it delivered. It gave me a few good ones, one of which worked right…

The FCC has given SpaceX a time-limited waiver for 18-24 months, effective January 9, 2026 to increase KU band transmission. This immediately authorizes SpaceX to exceed equivalent power flux density (EPFD) limits for KU-band operations in the US, enabling higher transmission power from Gen2 Starlink satellites.

This directly supports increased beam overlap (up to eight beams per satellite in the same frequency and area), boosting network capacity and download speeds without requiring new user hardware. SpaceX can implement these power increases via software adjustments to existing satellites, potentially as soon…

Gmail is the go-to email app for most Android users because it just works, and there’s not much to complain about. But that doesn’t mean it’s the best choice. After switching to Thunderbird on Windows and absolutely loving it, I decided to try it on my Android phone as well, and my only regret is not making the switch sooner. Thunderbird is a free and open-source email app that offers better customization, no ads, and no forced AI features. It focuses on the basics and does them well. And now that I’ve used it for a few days, Gmail no…

A sunny day in early 2026 revealed the remnants of a winter storm on Arizona’s high desert—and produced a striking, if somewhat puzzling, display of light and shadow in the Grand Canyon. An astronaut aboard the International Space Station captured these photographs of the distinct topography on January 26, 2026. Snow flurries were flying in the area the previous two days, as they were across much of the central and eastern U.S. Hazardous conditions within Grand Canyon National Park prompted officials to close Desert View Drive, which runs along a portion of the South Rim shown in the photo above,…
