There are a few very modern inconveniences that we just can’t escape. Never being 100% sure what the cables in that bag are for. Wanting more days off, but also wanting more money. Always needing a bit more coffee to get you through the day. One of the most frustrating ones is about running out of storage digitally, which is only becoming more common as file sizes increase. There’s a fix for this though, and that’s a really good portable SSD. See at Amazon While there are a lot of options out

In the 19th Century, British and American children’s literature evolved from puritanical moral and religious instruction to delightfully imaginative tales meant to awaken a sense of wonder. But morality and imagination could certainly thrive together. Æsop’s Fables in Words of One Syllable is an excellent example of this. The ancient Greek storyteller Aesop may or may not have existed, and he may or may not have written the hundreds of morality tales attributed to him. Yet his stories have been
Summer is here, and if you have been planning to spend more time outdoors, a portable solar panel can be a great investment. These can keep your power stations charged wherever the sun shines, but not all solar panels are made equal. Some Reddit users have even been considering adding portable solar panels to their emergency backpacks, so that they don't lose power in the event of a disaster. CNET's current favorite is the Jackery SolarSaga 200, thanks to its lightweight and sizable solar-charg
Far from the front lines of the climate crisis, 100 men and women in air-conditioned offices, 61 of them millionaires, are making decisions that could increase United States carbon dioxide emissions, and the warming of the climate they are driving, for decades to come. In the latest political wrangle over energy and climate policy, a group of Republican senators over the weekend added provisions to the U.S. federal budget bill that, as currently written, would end clean energy tax credits at th

Abstraction boundaries are optimization boundaries The N+1 query problem occurs when your application code sends one SQL query per element in a collection. The N queries are redundant; since all of the data is in the database already, a single query should be enough. This problem is usually caused by a leaky abstraction; the ORM, or whatever database abstraction you are using, can’t anticipate that it would need to send N queries, so it can’t automatically optimize this down to a single query.

A foldable phone isn’t for the faint of heart. They’re generally heavier, pricier, and have less capable cameras than a standard slab-style phone. And while they’re far less fragile than when they first debuted, foldables are still susceptible to the kind of damage a regular smartphone can shrug off. You really don’t want any du
When Adult Swim first announced that it was working with director Shinichirō Watanabe, Jujutsu Kaisen studio Mappa, and John Wick director Chad Stahelski on a new anime project, Lazarus already had the cards stacked against it. In the rollout of its stylish and musical trailers, the anime hewed close to Watanabe’s Cowboy Bebop aesthetics, setting it up to live up to a standard from a bygone era of animation that it would never be able to satisfy audiences with, and never tried to. Set in 2052,
E-cigarettes have become increasingly popular over the last two decades, especially among young people. These sleek, deliciously flavored smoking devices are often marketed as a safer alternative to conventional cigarettes, but alarming new research challenges that assumption. In a study published June 25 in the journal ACS Central Science, researchers tested three popular disposable vape brands for hazardous metals and metalloids such as lead, chromium, antimony, and nickel. Inhaling these tox

monticelllo/Getty Images The arrival of HDMI 2.2 technology ushers in a new era of A/V potential, which is great news for enthusiasts and future-proofing fanatics. It might be a little while before every device on the market sports the new tech, but you can expect to see the first "Ultra96" HDMI cables hitting shelves later this year. Increased bandwidth and resolution This is a significant leap forward from the current HDMI 2.1. Even ultra-high-speed 2.1 cables cap out at 48 Gbps. While 48 G

marchmeena29 / Getty Images When I was a kid, my home lab consisted of test tubes and beakers, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), acetic acid (vinegar), and the occasional boom, followed closely by the sound of my mom in the distance yelling, "David Allen Gewirtz, you stop that right now." When the scold transitioned from "David Gewirtz" to "David Allen Gewirtz," I knew I was in trouble. To be fair, nothing prepared my nontechnical mom and dad to raise a future engineer. I was forever taking th

Just weeks after extending the deadline for its sale for a third time, President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he has found a buyer for TikTok’s U.S. operations. The popular social media app has been under intense pressure due to a law passed in 2024 that requires its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the platform or face a nationwide ban. The legislation stems from bipartisan concern in Washington that the Chinese government could access the data of American users or use the app
In Brief A group of “very wealthy people” is set to buy short-form video app TikTok, according to President Donald Trump. “We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way,” Trump said in a Fox News interview on Sunday morning. “I think I’ll need probably China’s approval. I think President Xi [Jinping] will probably do it.” Trump declined to share more details about the buyers, saying only that he would reveal their identities in two weeks (apparently his favorite unit of time). Trump has repeatedly
