Sharp pencils for hard times

Allison Johnson is a reviewer for The Verge who writes about phones and mobile technology. “Occasionally,” she adds, “I yell at your wireless carrier.” I asked her if there were any items that she especially liked using, and after thinking about it, she eventually came up with… a pencil sharpener. Where did you first hear about the Blackwing One-Step Long Point Sharpener? Last year, I told my husband all I wanted for Christmas was a nice pencil sharpener — and he understood the assignment. In

The Morning After: Did Panasonic make the best camera for creators?

Panasonic’s S1 II is arguably the company’s best creator camera, if not the best creator camera, period. That’s according to our review from Steve Dent, who really liked a lot of things but especially the 6K RAW video and excellent stabilization. However, at $3,200, it’s expensive compared to the competition. Engadget Nikon’s Z6 III has nearly the same video capabilities, is a better camera for photography and costs at least $600 less. Then there’s Panasonic’s own $2,500 S1 IIe, which was anno

I Wish Meta and Microsoft's New Quest 3S Xbox Edition Was More Than Just a New Color

I have major throwback memories to 2016 as I open up the limited-edition Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition. This new VR bundle includes a black Quest 3S VR headset with Xbox green highlights, similarly colored Touch controllers and an Xbox controller, too. The original Oculus Rift headset I reviewed years ago also came with an Xbox controller inside, because back then Oculus didn't even have its VR Touch controllers yet.

Nobel Prize Winner Warns About Astronomers Using AI to Make Discoveries

A team of astronomers say they've gleaned the mysterious traits of our galaxy's black hole by probing it with an AI model. But a pretty big name on the field is throwing a little bit of cold water on their work. Just a little bit. Reinhard Genzel, a Nobel laureate and an astrophysicist at the Max Planck Institute, expressed some skepticism regarding the team's use of AI, and the quality of the data they fed into the model. "I'm very sympathetic and interested in what they're doing," Genzel tol

Like the simulation depicting how a neutron star cracks, this one also predicts the characteristics of the resulting flares astronomers might see through telescopes.

In short, the simulations performed by Most and colleagues provide a deeper understanding of the physics driving some of the most energetic ev

Spanish blackout report: Power plants meant to stabilize voltage didn’t
