Amazon's Zoox jumps into U.S. robotaxi race with Las Vegas launch

I love the Pixel 10, but I wish it had these 5 features

I’m what you might call the “Pixel guy” around here. When the Google Pixel 10 series launched, I was, as you can imagine, pretty excited. And for good reason! These are fantastic phones. From the standard Pixel 10 to the Pixel 10 Pro XL and even to the outrageously expensive Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Google has delivered a lineup that is refined, intelligent, and a joy to use. I’ve already bought the Pixel 10 Pro, and I have a strong feeling it will be my pick for the best phone of 2025. But as much a

I think the iPhone Air is going to be a bigger hit than anyone expected – including Apple

It’s long been clear that the iPhone Air was going to be a beautiful device, but based on reactions so far, it seems that people are even more impressed than expected by the sleek look of the all-new iPhone. It’s usually the two Pro models that get all the love, but this year it seems all anyone wants to talk about is the iPhone Air … I said beforehand that I very much expected to be admiring the aesthetics of the new phone. I’m absolutely not the intended market for the device, but … I’m as

Apple just added two surprise iOS 26 features that I absolutely love

NVIDIA's GeForce Now with RTX 5080 GPUs is a cloud gaming revelation

If you had told me five years ago that playing PC games over the cloud would soon look indistinguishable from using a powerful rig, I would have called you a fool. But after diving into NVIDIA's new RTX 5080-powered GeForce Now servers for several hours, I think we've reached a major milestone for cloud streaming. From a New Jersey server almost a thousand miles away from my Atlanta-area home, I was able to play Cyberpunk 2077 in 4K at 170 fps (with NVIDIA's DLSS 4 frame generation) and Overwatc

Spotify lossless streaming is finally here and it's included with a Premium plan

Stop me if you've heard this one before: over a half-decade of rumors, infrequent teases and affirmations that something is on the way, only for fans to impatiently bide their time and the thing to eventually arrive with very little advance warning. No, I'm not talking about Hollow Knight: Silksong this time. Spotify is finally rolling out a lossless option that offers higher-quality music streaming. Best of all, the company is offering it to Premium members at no extra charge. You'll get a not

Windows 10 resists its end: usage share climbs while Windows 11's falls

Next month, Microsoft is ending support for home editions of its Windows 10 operating system officially. While users may extend support by one year -- business customers get three -- the number of users who will take up Microsoft's offer is unclear. The extension is more or less free, as you get it as a consumer when you enable the backup functionality during the signup process. There is even a tool for that that lets you do all that with a local account and as little interaction as possible. A

Some thoughts on personal Git hosting

As part of my ongoing (and somewhat futile) efforts to ReDeCentralise, I'm looking at moving my personal projects away from GitHub. I already have accounts with GitLab and CodeBerg - but both of those sites are run by someone else. While they're lovely now, there's nothing stopping them becoming as slow or AI-infested as GitHub. So I want to host my own Git instance for my personal projects. I'm experimenting with https://git.edent.tel/ It isn't quite self-hosted; I'm paying PikaPod €2/month t

The subjective experience of coding in different programming languages

Different programming languages feel viscerally different, right? I can’t be the only one. It’s so embodied. When I’m deep in multiple nested parentheses in a C-like language, even Python, I feel precarious, like I’m walking a high wire or balancing things in my hands and picking my way down steep stairs. It’s a relief to close the braces. Like if I’m trying to cover all the conditions in a complicated state machine or a conditional, I’m high up. I often hold my breath. Functional languages a

Kerberoasting

I learn about cryptographic vulnerabilities all the time, and they generally fill me with some combination of jealousy (“oh, why didn’t I think of that”) or else they impress me with the brilliance of their inventors. But there’s also another class of vulnerabilities: these are the ones that can’t possibly exist in important production software, because there’s no way anyone could still do that in 2025. Today I want to talk about one of those ridiculous ones, something Microsoft calls “low tech

Channing Tatum Still Wishes He Got to Do ‘Beauty & the Beast’ With Guillermo del Toro

Channing Tatum has had a varied career. He has played spies, superheroes, and soft-hearted men (he also dances really well). But there is one role he wished he could play, but it got away: Tatum really, really wanted to play The Beast in a non-Disney version of Beauty & the Beast. Speaking to Vanity Fair, Tatum said he had been approached about a possible film adaptation of the childhood classic by Guillermo del Toro. The actor turned down the role, a decision he described as “one of the bigges

California’s High-Speed Rail Fiasco Keeps Getting Worse

Seventeen years ago, Californians bet on a grand vision of the future. They narrowly approved a $10 billion bond issue to build a high-speed rail line that would zip between San Francisco and Los Angeles in under three hours. This technological marvel would slash emissions, revitalize the state’s Central Valley, and, with some financial help from the feds and private sector, provide the fast, efficient, and convenient travel Asia and Europe have long enjoyed. State officials promised to deliver

I Wore 3 Popular Smart Rings for Months, but This One Improved My Health the Most

The Oura ring was my favorite smart ring because its app was easy to understand and I liked some of the newer features from its latest software update. At the steep price of $299, this smart ring is made up of aerospace-grade titanium – one of the strongest materials on earth -- according to the site. Before I received my Oura ring, I was sent a ring sizer to figure out my ring size. Other smart rings did the same since sizing varies per brand. Once I received the Oura ring, I downloaded the Ou
