Grief gets an expiration date, just like us

Not when I look for his marginalia in new books, or read an article about self-driving cars and text him a link, or when I see an interesting new Malaysian restaurant and have the urge to make us a reservation. Certainly not when I look at our daughter, Athena, who wears Jake’s face as her own and who, especially when she’s examining

American Prairie unlocks another 70k acres in Montana

Public lands and public access are now constantly under threat in the U.S., but there’s still good news to share. Ambitious conservation nonprofit American Prairie has secured its second-largest land purchase and leasing arrangement to date, buying up the 70,000-acre Anchor Ranch in Montana, which had been listed for sale for $35 million. The group bought the land from two billionaire Texas brothers who’d kept the public locked out of one of the only western access roads into adjacent public la

Wait, What? NASA Found Signs of Ancient Alien Life on Mars

NASA released a significant update from the Perseverance Mars rover on Sept. 10, focusing on a particularly juicy tidbit for those watching from home: A small rock sample called Sapphire Canyon showed signs of potential biosignatures, or ancient alien life that may have once grown on Mars. That's possible because of the unique location where Perseverance located the sample in July 2024. It came from a rock named Cheyava Falls. This particular rock is in Jezero Crater, home to an ancient dry riv

Scientists Gather to Confront the Doomsday Risks of ‘Mirror Life’

The prospect of creating “mirror life”—synthetic cells made from molecules that are mirror images of those found in nature—remains completely hypothetical. Still, the potential consequences are so dire that experts from around the world are gathering to discuss how to prevent the worst-case scenario. This week, scientists, engineers, policymakers, and other stakeholders will convene in Manchester, U.K., for Engineering and Safeguarding Synthetic Life 2025. This annual international conference e

Apple Watch Series 11 Review: Finally, the Watch Lives Longer

For years, Apple has tried to extend the battery life of the Apple Watch. For as many years, the company has only succeeded by half measures. Features like Low Power mode or faster charging help you keep the watch on your wrist for longer, but Apple has not significantly improved the watch’s 18-hour battery life—even at last year’s much-hyped decade-versary of the Apple Watch. I say this to give the context of why such a little thing was so shocking. After wearing the new Apple Watch Series 11

My First Year Without an iPhone

Last October, I switched off my iPhone, removed the SIM card, and inserted it into a Nokia 2780 that I ordered off the internet. I deactivated and archived my Instagram, left all the group chats, and got in touch with my European friends through email. Now, a full calendar year later, I can say without hesitation that I am never, ever going back. My north star Flip phones are somehow a contentious topic. This is because anyone that goes against the status quo creates a hostile environment. It’

The Pixel 10 made me fall back in love with small phones

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority Remember a time when we used to call devices with 7-inch screens tablets? Does your memory go back to the era of phablets — phones with a “large” 5.5-inch display? Screen sizes have gone up so much that almost 7 inches is now considered a standard phone size, while we call 6 inches mini. I fall in the former category: I used the iPhone 16 Pro Max, a massive brick of a phone, for the majority of the last year. And if my wrist had vocal cords, you could hear it s

Perceived Age (2024)

"To live is to be other. It's not even possible to feel, if one feels today what he felt yesterday. To feel today what one felt yesterday is not to feel—it's to remember today what was felt yesterday, to be today’s living corpse of what yesterday was lived and lost." -- Fernando Pessoa At 2:15 PM on June 5th, kids burst through school doors, sprinting towards three months of freedom. Summer felt endless back then, August an eternity away. A day at Great America stretched like a week, and road t

The first three things you’ll want during a cyberattack

The moment a cyberattack strikes, the clock starts ticking. Files lock up, systems stall, phones light up and the pressure skyrockets. Every second counts. What happens next can mean the difference between recovery and catastrophe. In that moment, you need three things above all else: clarity, control and a lifeline. Without them, even the most experienced IT team or managed service provider (MSP) can feel paralyzed by confusion as damage escalates. But with clarity, control and a lifeline, you

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Ends Its Bumpy Season With a Similarly Bumpy Finale

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ third season has been its bumpiest ride yet, with more lows than highs. But in something that feels like somewhat of a reset for the series, its finale brings together elements from a few of those highs (and a few of those lows, for good or ill) to deliver an ending that at the very least brings the Enterprise into proverbial spacedock smoothly… if not without a few scrapes along the hull. Yes, the mostly good news is that “New Life and New Civilizations” (which g

NASA Says Its Mars Rover Has Detected Possible Signs of Life on the Red Planet

NASA has announced that its Perseverance Mars rover spotted "potential biosignatures" in an ancient dry riverbed last year. Samples collected from a rock dubbed "Cheyava Falls" contain a structure that hints at the possibility of having a biological origin, according to the space agency, but more research needs to be completed to draw any conclusions about the presence of life on the Red Planet. "The identification of a potential biosignature on the Red Planet is a groundbreaking discovery, an

NASA's Perseverance rover finds potential signs of ancient life on Mars

NASA just announced that its Perseverance rover recently found some promising signs of ancient life on Mars. The rover obtained a sample of rock formed billions of years ago from sediment and there are biomarkers indicating the potential presence of microbes once upon a time. Basically, the rocks contain minerals that typically form as a result of a chemical reaction between mud and organic matter. That doesn't necessarily mean that Mars once had life, as the minerals can form due to nonbiologi

Has Perseverance found a biosignature on Mars?

Last year, we reported on the discovery of an intriguing arrow-shaped rock on Mars by NASA's Perseverance rover. The rock contained chemical signatures and structures that could have been formed by ancient microbial life. Granted, this was not slam-dunk evidence of past life on Mars, and the results were preliminary, awaiting peer review. But it was an intriguing possibility nonetheless. Now further analysis and peer review are complete, and there is a new paper, published in the journal Nature

Apple failed to solve my biggest fear about the iPhone Air

Joe Maring / Android Authority The rumors about the iPhone Air were true. Just a few months after Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Edge, Apple has thrown its hat in the ring with its own ultra-thin iPhone. At first glance, the iPhone Air does look impressive. The 5.6mm body is shockingly thin, the display looks great, and having the latest A19 Pro chip is quite the achievement. However, there was one aspect more than anything else that I was curious to hear about: battery life. The Galaxy S25

What’s the battery life of the new iPhone Air? Here’s what Apple says

The new iPhone Air features a stunningly thin design, comprising a 5.6mm thick chassis with a protruding camera plateau. But ultra-thin phones come with tradeoffs, and there’s been a lot of consternation about the battery life of the iPhone Air. Here’s what Apple says about the kind of battery life you can expect from the new iPhone Air … Firstly, if you watch Apple’s event video or read the press release, Apple says the iPhone Air has great “all-day battery life”.

A Queasy Selling of the Family Heirlooms

The gentleman is kindly, matter-of-fact. He is not scared of a dead mother’s lightning bolts. I stand on the other side of the glass cabinet, shifting my weight from one foot to the other, nervous as a thief at a pawn shop. Not because I stole this sterling and silverplate, but because I inherited it. As a sacred trust, glowing with aspirations to fineness.

Paper Finds Earth May Have Been Terraformed by "Advanced Extraterrestrials"

It's one of the most longstanding questions in biology: how did life first arise? Research on the topic abounds, but there's no one accepted answer. And according to one new paper, the chances that life emerged by pure chance on Earth are so slim that it's possible that our planet was instead seeded by "advanced extraterrestrials." While Imperial College London professor of systems biology Robert Endres concedes that the emergence of life still could've been the result of chemical reactions mo

‘Life Is Strange’ Is Taking Its Superpowered Queer Tales to Television

Prime Video is picking up one video game after another to bring to television, and Life Is Strange is the latest game joining those ranks. Technically, Legendary Digital Studios and publisher Square Enix announced their plans to adapt a show in 2016, with Shawn Mendes later attached as a producer and potentially coming to Hulu. Rights for the adventure game series have pivoted to Prime Video, who’ve enlisted Charlie Covell, who wrote Netflix’s The End of the F***ing World and Kaos, as showrunne

Amazon greenlights a Life is Strange series adaptation

With Hollywood video game adaptations surging, it was only a matter of time before Life is Strange got the treatment. After all, even platformer and sandbox game adaptations have (shockingly) found success in this new era. A well-written adventure game seems like a much shorter leap. Amazon announced on Friday that Prime Video has ordered a series based on the 2015 game. Like Don't Nod's classic, the series will blend angsty teenage realism with supernatural elements and moral choices. And Amaz
