The 3 Best Espresso Machines You Can Buy in 2025

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-11-12 05:02:00

My evaluation process for a home espresso machine is similar to how I test standard drip coffee makers. First, I hand-wash and dry all removable parts and accessories. For most espresso machines, that includes the filter basket, metal portafilter inserts, water tank and so on. Next, I run one brewing cycle with just hot water to flush away any residual material from manufacturing. Most automatic espresso machines, save for fancy super-automatic models, lack an integrated coffee grinder, and I p

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-12 05:32:35

When Hurricane Helene ravaged western North Carolina in September 2024, one of its many victims was a manufacturing plant that made intravenous fluids. The sterile IV solutions produced in the plant are essential supplies for hospitals and other medical facilities, which use them in various treatments, from rehydration to drug delivery and kidney dialysis. And the plant damaged by Helene—Baxter International's North Cove manufacturing facility in Marion—didn't just make some of the US supply; it

Android will finally fix your messy home screen by forcing apps to use themed icons

For apps that don’t natively offer a monochrome icon, QPR2 lets the system automatically generate one for theming purposes. A new “Create” option also appears for icon theming, which may be related to in-development AI-powered tools.

Amazon TL;DR Amazon is reportedly working on a higher-end Android tablet codenamed Kittyhawk. Sources claim that the company is tossing around the idea of a $400 price tag. It’s said there are still plans to launch some lower-priced tablets that run on Vega OS, but its full slate will eventually be powered by a version of Android. Many of Amazon’s products use a forked version of Android called Fire OS. However, the company has long been trying to separate its products from Google’s operatin

For as long as Star Trek: Voyager has been around, there has been much debate about if Captain Janeway made the right decisions navigating her crew’s journey home across years of travel from an unexplored corner of the galaxy with little to no support from Starfleet. Should she have killed Tuvix to save the lives of two crewmembers?

Pixel 10 vs Pixel 9: Here’s why I’m tempted to upgrade

Autumn isn’t usually the time to compare a newly launched phone to its direct predecessor. The upgrades over a device from a year ago are typically so minimal that one should stick to their existing phone for a couple more years before considering an upgrade. But the new Pixel 10 is a little different this time around. The Pixel 10 is getting improvements in nearly every single department, making it feel like a proper generational leap.

Why email security needs its EDR moment to move beyond prevention

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-11-13 15:01:11

Security leaders today are rethinking email security, not because traditional methods have failed outright, but because the threat landscape and business needs have evolved beyond what legacy approaches can handle. A surprising but apt analogy keeps surfacing: email security is stuck where antivirus (AV) was a decade ago, and it’s time it evolved like AV did, into an element of EDR. The comparison might not be obvious at first. After all, email and endpoints seem like apples and oranges. But
