Powerball just hit a billion dollars, and people are freaking out about it. For 39 draws in a row, no ticket matched all six numbers for the Powerball jackpot. The last draw was on Saturday night.

The largest jackpot prize ever was cashed out in November 2022 by Edwin Castro, a California man who scored a $2.04 billion do

The first thing I noticed about the NordicTrack Commercial 2450, NordicTrack's newest addition to its commercial treadmill series, is the touchscreen. It has a 22-inch HD touchscreen that resembles a desktop computer screen, so it's huge. It also tilts and pivots so you can adjust it for different uses, like if you want to take workout classes on the floor. The treadmill itself is also on the bigger side since it's a commercial treadmill, but it does fold up using its easylift assist feature, so

Key Pixel Settings to Change on Your Google Phone

Google's Pixel phones are chock-full of helpful, smart features, and they capture some of the best-looking photographs on a mobile device. It's why they're among our favorite Android smartphones. But like several of its peers, Google doesn't have many of its best features turned on by default. For example, Call Screening blocks unwanted phone calls on your behalf, and you need to turn it on yourself. That's what I'm here for.

Terminal sessions you can bookmark

Zellij is a terminal workspace and multiplexer. One of the unique traits of terminal multiplexers is their ability to keep sessions alive in the background without a terminal attached to them. In the recent Zellij version we released a built-in web client, allowing users to attach to these sessions from the browser - essentially making a dedicated terminal application optional. In this post we’re going to take a look at how we built the Zellij Web Terminal: which technologies we used, how we ar

My phone is an ereader now I got a Kobo in 2016 after borrowing my mom's old one for a year before that. It probably is responsible for getting me reading again after high school. I used to be an avid reader, the sort of kid who would have to be told to put down the book and go to sleep, and who would then creep slowly to the bookshelf to pick it up again without arousing suspicion after the light had been turned out.

The fall of EV startup Fisker: A comprehensive timeline

But cracks started showing in that vision almost as soon as the Ocean hit the road in 2023. Fisker cut production targets multiple times, failed to meet sales goals and laid off staff.
