There are now e-ink devices for practically every use case and budget, ranging from a pocket-friendly $69 to $600 and beyond. So, if you have been on the fence about picking one up, this is the article that will finally…
MediaTek is expected to unveil the Dimensity 9600 SoC later this year as its next flagship chip, but the company is also working on the Dimensity 8600 upper-midrange SoC as well. This is important because in recent times, MediaTek’s Dimensity 8 series chips have dominated AnTuTu benchmark ratings for upper-midrange phones – it kind of seems like Qualcomm has decided to just hand over this market to MediaTek. And so, it will be interesting to see where MediaTek takes the 8 series with the next member, the Dimensity 8600. According to a new rumor from China today, this chip will…

I’ve intentionally kept my Fire TV in the bedroom, while the other Android TVs around the house are mounted in the living room and guest bedrooms.

When Anton Kiriwas first spotted an image of the Moon and Mars hanging over a job fair booth while in college, it captured his imagination, yet felt like a dream too distant to chase. He had no way of knowing that years later he would play a critical role in NASA’s Artemis missions, helping launch humans back to the Moon for the first time in more than half a century.
