Say Adieu to Adieu: Pick One of These Best Wordle Starter Words to Help You Win

Is it just me, or has Wordle been awfully tough lately? (This one was a stumper.) I've had a couple days lately where I really thought I would run out of guesses before solving it. I've already shared my easy winning strategy for playing Wordle. Essentially, I begin with TRAIN and CLOSE, then look at any correct letters and try a word that uses them in numerous spots. When I need to picture possible winning words, I utilize Xs to spell out the correct letters I know so far. So far, the strategy

Squid Game Creator Unveils Scrapped Ending Fans Are Calling Better Than the Original

Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has revealed that season 3 almost had an enormously different ending -- an ending that might have gone over better with fans who are still divided over how the hit series wrapped. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Hwang said he originally wrote an ending where Player 456, Seong Gi-hun, leaves the deadly games behind for good. That's a huge contrast to the version that actually aired, in which Gi-hun sacrifices his life in the end for the new P

RealSense spins out of Intel to scale its stereoscopic imaging technology

After 14 years of developing inside of semiconductor giant Intel, RealSense is striking out on its own. RealSense sells cameras that use stereoscopic imaging, a process that combines two images of the same object from different angles to create depth, enhanced with infrared light. This technology helps machines like robots, drones, and autonomous vehicles have a better perception of the physical world around them. The tech is also used for facial authentication. “The common denominator of all

You Can Now Get Starlink for $15-Per-Month in New York, but There’s a Catch

Starlink has brought high-speed internet to millions of rural Americans for the first time. It’s also one of the most expensive internet service providers in the country. So, how is it available in New York for just $15 a month? If it wants to sell internet in the state, it doesn’t have a choice. That’s thanks to the Affordable Broadband Act, a New York state law passed in January. The law says that major ISPs (those serving 20,000 households or more) operating in New York must offer plans sta

“It’s a heist”: Senator calls out Texas for trying to steal shuttle from Smithsonian

A political effort to remove space shuttle Discovery from the Smithsonian and place it on display in Texas encountered some pushback on Thursday, as a US senator questioned the expense of carrying out what he described as a theft. "This is not a transfer. It's a heist," said Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) during a budget markup hearing before the Senate Appropriations Committee. "A heist by Texas because they lost a competition 12 years ago." In April, Republican Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, bot

Study: Apple’s newest AI model flags health conditions with up to 92% accuracy

A new Apple-supported study argues that your behavior data (movement, sleep, exercise, etc.) can often be a stronger health signal than traditional biometric measurements like heart rate or blood oxygen. To prove it, the researchers developed a foundation model trained on behavioral data collected from wearables, and it performed surprisingly well. Here are the details. This preprint paper, Beyond Sensor Data: Foundation Models of Behavioral Data from Wearables Improve Health Predictions, comes

‘Squid Game: The Challenge’ Is Getting a Third Season Because Capitalism Is Inevitable

The fictional Squid Game as we know it is over—for now, at least—but Netflix would like you to remember that it has an offshoot reality competition that’s still very much active. On the heels of announcing that Squid Game: The Challenge season two will drop November 4, the streamer has also let it be known it’s now accepting applications for season three. The first season of Squid Game: The Challenge weathered its share of controversy; not only did its very existence fly in the face of the fict

Best Carpet Cleaners: I Used Real Life Messes as the Ultimate Test

The Bissell Revolution HydroSteam is the best overall carpet cleaner I tested. It was the only carpet washer that effectively removed pet urine and pet odors from my carpet. It also came in second to the Tineco Carpet Cruiser with tough stain removal. But for $300 less than the Tineco, its price-to-value ratio is unbeatable. Why I like it: While the Tineco Carpet Cruiser edged out the Bissell HydroSteam on the tough stain removal test, the Bissell blew away the competition on pet odor testing.

A Bold Mission to Hunt for Aliens on Venus Is Actually Happening

A UK-based mission is aiming to settle, once and for all, whether life exists on Venus. The mission plans to send a probe to the planet in search of microbial life, not on the surface, of course, but in the Venusian clouds. Over the past half-decade, scientists have detected the presence of phosphine and ammonia—two potential signs of biological activity—in Venus’s clouds. On Earth, both gases are produced only by biological activity and industrial processes, and scientists are unsure of their

Measles Cases Hit the Highest Number in 33 Years. Do You Need a Measles Vaccine Booster?
