These experts explained how vibration plates are supposed to work, the benefits you might get from using them, the risks you should watch ou

End of an era as the last 11-inch MacBook Air is now officially obsolete

The last 11-inch MacBook Air model ever made has now been declared officially obsolete by Apple, some nine years after it was last sold by the company. The smallest of Apple’s MacBooks had long proved a popular choice with many, for two different reasons … First, it was the cheapest MacBook and bought by many of those who were buying their first ever Mac. But it also had a very strong following from those who liked the ultra-portability of the device. I was one of those who bought it for the

Urban Arrow FamilyNext Pro Review: The Perfect Family Bike

wired.com Adrienne So 2025-10-24 20:00:00

How time flies. I first reviewed the original Urban Arrow in 2020, when my kids were 3 and 5. Back then, nothing delighted a couple of preschoolers more than strapping into a big, motorized cargo bike and scooting around town, shrieking, with the wind blowing in their tiny faces. Alas, they are now 8 and 10. When I picked up my 8-year-old two days ago, he crouched down in the box while sitting on the padded seats (with seat belts!) so that none of his friends would see him.

These Newly Discovered Cells Breathe in Two Ways

The team members went through a process of incrementally determining what elements and molecules the bacterial strain could grow on. They already knew it could use oxygen, so they tested other combinations in the lab. When oxygen was absent, RSW1 could process hydrogen gas and elemental sulfur—chemicals it would find spewing from a volcanic vent—and create hydrogen sulfide as a product.

A few years ago, Apple used to have a much simpler iPad keyboard lineup. It just offered a Smart Keyboard for each of their iPad models, and they all essentially served as the same product.
