How to See the Total Lunar Eclipse and Blood Moon on September 7

On the evening of September 7, the second (and final) total lunar eclipse of the year will take place—serving up the striking sight of a red “blood moon” in the sky across much of the world. Total lunar eclipses occur when the Earth is positioned between the full moon and the sun, with the moon falling into the shadow of our planet. However, rather than disappearing into darkness, the shadowed moon instead turns red. This is because of a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering. Visible sunlight,

Are you hoping for a live iPhone event on September 9? [Poll]

To say that Apple’s pre-recorded events are divisive is an understatement. What initially seemed like a pandemic-fueled stopgap has become the company’s standard way to make announcements, even though its competitors have largely moved back to live presentations. With the upcoming “Awe Dropping” event, Apple has an opportunity to take a new crack at the live event format. Do you think it’ll take it? Apple has been doubling down on pre-recorded events There is no question that Apple prefers th

Mississippi’s age assurance law puts decentralized social networks to the test

An overly broad age assurance law in Mississippi is leading to arguments about which platforms — Bluesky, Mastodon, or others — offer the best solution for avoiding crackdowns on internet freedoms. The company that makes the Bluesky social app announced last week that it would block access to its service in the state of Mississippi rather than comply with the new age verification law. In a blog post, the company explained that, as a small team, it lacked the resources to implement the substanti

iPhone 17 vs. iPhone 17 Air, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max: New Rumored Specs Compared

While we typically wait until phones are actually released to compare them, Apple's next iPhone models are so highly anticipated that we'll make an exception. We're basing our comparisons on the most credible rumors of what's coming in the iPhone 17 series, including a potential super-thin iPhone 17 Air, to give readers an early sense of how the new series of phones may look. Last year's iPhone 16 series added a handful of upgrades over its predecessors, most notably the new Camera Control key.

Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. iPhone 16 Pro Max: Has Google closed the gap? [Video]

From jibes to full-blown homage, the Pixel 10 Pro XL owes a lot to the iPhone and, by extension, the 16 Pro Max. Just how does Apple’s best device of last year stack up against Google’s best of this year? Here’s all you need to know. Before we start comparing Apples to Googles, we must acknowledge that things can’t be like-for-like. If you’re an Android person—like us—you probably don’t care about iOS things.

Like Intel before it, AMD blames motherboard makers for burnt-out CPUs

AMD's X3D-series Ryzen chips have become popular with PC gamers because games in particular happen to benefit disproportionately from the chips' extra 64MB of L3 cache memory. But that extra memory occasionally comes with extra headaches. Not long after they were released earlier this year, some early adopters started having problems with their CPUs, ranging from failure to boot to actual physical scorching and burnout—the problems were particularly common for users of the 9800X3D processor in A

Pixel 10's US Launch Might Be the Moment That eSIM Finally Becomes Easy

Google's choice to go eSIM-only in the US for the Pixel 10 might actually be a well-timed move by the company. While I was initially concerned that an eSIM-only phone might be a frustrating roadblock for the Pixel 10, several advances in how the US carriers support eSIM, along with a new iOS 26 feature, might actually make it easier than ever to switch your phone. And it's a good thing too, as despite being available for years and being required for the iPhone in the US since 2022's iPhone 14 l

Apple's iPhone 17 Air Might Give Us Hints About Its Rumored Foldable

Thin phones are undoubtedly having a moment, with companies like Samsung, Huawei, Honor and Oppo deb

iPhone Gaming Is Challenging. Here's What the iPhone 17 Needs to Make It Easier

I've been trying to use my iPhone as a portable gaming machine for years, but I often hit the same roadblocks when trying to have it replace my Nintendo Switch when I travel. And it's not for lack of Apple and other companies putting in the effort, as there are tons of games available for the iPhone, between titles that run directly from the device to more-intensive games that I can stream over a strong internet connection. Gaming on the iPhone is more convoluted than it should be, and it's fra

Altered states of consciousness induced by breathwork accompanied by music

The popularity of breathwork as a therapeutic tool for psychological distress is rapidly expanding. Breathwork practices that increase ventilatory rate or depth, facilitated by music, can evoke subjective experiential states analogous to altered states of consciousness (ASCs) evoked by psychedelic substances. These states include components such as euphoria, bliss, and perceptual differences. However, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the profound subjective effects of high ventilation b

Nvidia results show spending on A.I. infrastructure remains robust

“The last year, A.I. has made tremendous progress,” Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s chief executive, said during a call with analysts. He said the company’s chips would benefit as spending on A.I. infrastructure increased to $3 trillion to $4 trillion by the end of the decade. “We’re in the beginning of this build-out,” he said. Shares of Nvidia fell more than 2 percent in after-hours trading. The decline, even when the company now posts quarterly profits bigger than tech peers like Apple and Meta, spo

Delivery Companies Around the World Stop Shipments to the US: Here's Who's Affected

Primary shipping services, including the European branch of DHL, multiple European state postal services, Australia Post, Japan Post and Taiwan's state postal service, have stopped shipping consumer goods of varying amounts (over $100 in some cases) to the US.
