Remember That Asteroid NASA Deflected in a Test of Saving Earth? We Have Bad News

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-08 15:57:01

In late 2022, NASA celebrated its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) as a massive success, a proof of concept for saving humanity in case a similar space rock were to ever head straight for Earth. The small spacecraft smashed into asteroid Didymos' moonlet Dimorphos at a violent 14,000 mph, knocking it severely off course. But three years later, astronomers found that the collision had some unintended consequences. As detailed in a paper published last week in the Planetary Science Journa

[Open Thread] Google bought Android 20 years ago, did it make it better or worse?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-08 16:31:42

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority It’s been 20 years to the day since Google made what you might consider its “best deal ever” by acquiring a small, unknown startup called Android, Inc. The founders, Andy Rubin and Chris White, had first set out to build an operating system for digital cameras, but when they failed to attract investors in 2004, they pivoted to creating a mobile operating system, and went pitching their new project looking for investor support.

New M4 Vision Pro gives me hope that the most needed fix is coming

A new M4 Vision Pro is reportedly launching later this year, and even though not a lot sounds like it’s changing, I’m cautiously hopeful that the most needed fix might be on the way. New Vision Pro will have M4 chip and all-new strap When Vision Pro first launched in February 2024, I was initially a holdout. The device fascinated me, but I couldn’t justify the price.

Microsoft and OpenAI's AGI Fight Is Bigger Than a Contract

wired.com Steven Levy 2025-08-08 15:11:10

I first learned about The Clause from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. During an interview with him in May 2023, I asked about the deal between Microsoft and OpenAI that granted his company exclusive access to the startup’s groundbreaking AI technology. I knew the contract had set a cap on how much profit Microsoft could make from the arrangement, and I asked him what would happen if and when that point was reached. The answer was a bit puzzling. “Fundamentally, their long-term idea is we get to su

Wild Galaxy S26 Ultra leak points to a massively upgraded 200MP camera

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has claimed that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could get a Sony-made 200MP camera. This camera would be notably larger than the 200MP main camera used on the S25 Ultra, suggesting improved image quality. This would be an uncharacteristic move by Samsung, as it’s typically been conservative with hardware upgrades.
