Series of posts on HTTP status codes (2018)

Because I want to get into the habit of blogging on a regular basis, I thought it would be a fun idea to write a series of articles on one of my favourite topics: HTTP and Webservices. To start, I began writing an article for every HTTP status code. I only realized after I drafted the first few, that the IANA page actually lists 68 official ones. Definitely a bit more than I thought, but I started and I’m going to see if I can finish it. I’m going to release the first few this week, and then s

This ‘Molecular Shield’ Might Stop Pollen Before It Wrecks Your Nose

Every year, pollen seasons grow longer and more intense—to the great misery of those suffering from pollen allergies—myself included. There’s only so much one can do with antihistamines or hot towels, and no amount of protective measures—masks, firmly shut windows, you name it—appears to offer any protection from the endless sneezing, runny noses, and itchy eyes. But what if, by spraying something akin to a nasal spray, you could thwart the onslaught of those pesky allergens before they latch o

How passkeys work: Let's start the passkey registration process

Photoraidz/Getty Images Previously on our passkey journey, I talked about the challenge of figuring out if a relying party -- typically, the operator of a website or app -- even offers the ability to sign in with a passkey instead of the more traditional and less secure username and password-based approach. Some of the biggest relying parties in the world -- including Apple, Google, and Microsoft -- support passkeys as a means of passwordless authentication. Together, these tech giants can int

Best Printer for Your Home or Office in 2025: Tested by Our Experts

Why I like it: Of the printers I've tested so far, the OfficeJet Pro is the most versatile. It allows work-from-home business people to scan, copy and print with ease, while offering up decent image quality for the occasional printed image. It also comes with three months of free ink, based on a standard use if you sign up for HP Plus. While HP Plus gives you extra helpful app choices free and the ink, the downside is you can only use HP inks while subscribed to it. The last model had some iss

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

Linda Yaccarino briefly loses verified X checkmark after stepping down as CEO

Co-founder exiting after pivot – what's a fair exit package?

Throwaway for obvious reasons. I’m a co-founder of a venture-backed startup currently valued at ~$20M. We raised a strong pre-seed, built a team, shipped v1, generated revenue, and recently pivoted into a related idea that I think could work—but I’m no longer the right person to lead it. My co-founder is passionate about the new direction and wants to take it forward. I want to step away cleanly and with integrity. I have ~10% vested. I led our early fundraise, worked unpaid for months, and con

The Interstellar Visitor Hurtling Toward the Center of Our Star System Is Unimaginably Ancient, Scientists Say

Astronomers recently confirmed that a mysterious object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, came from interstellar space and is now blowing through the solar system at extremely high speeds. It's only the third confirmed interstellar object to have reached our star system, following 'Oumuamua, which was spotted in 2018, and a comet dubbed 2I/Borisov, which was identified in tk. Now, scientists are racing to better understand 3I/ATLAS and whether it can shed more light on the nature of interstellar objects like

Nathan Fillion Teases Guy Gardner’s Path From ‘Superman’ to ‘Lanterns’

With the release of the James Gunn-helmed Superman, the start of this era of DC Studios is set to make a summer blockbuster debut. And in it, we’ll meet a new slew of superhero characters, including the first Green Lantern within this DCU, Guy Gardner, as played by Nathan Fillion.

Don't Put Your Takeout Containers in the Microwave. Here's Why

When hunger and laziness coincide, reheating last night's leftovers in the microwave seems like a great idea. But if you reheat them in the plastic container they came in, you could be ingesting microplastics and harmful chemicals. But is plastic contamination as dangerous as experts say? All signs point to yes. Study after study has shown that the resulting chemical exposure of microplastics could pose significant health risks, and has been linked to increases in medical issues like infertilit

It’s here! Precise Volume app gets Android 16-style volume UI

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority Current (old) volume slider design in Android 15 TL;DR The developer behind the Precise Volume app has recreated the Android 16 volume interface. The app allows you to override the system’s stock volume UI, giving you more control over your phone’s volume.
