It's been a hot summer already. As much as the heat in upstate New York has me cooped up inside with the air conditioner blasting, it's nothing compared to other parts of the US being impacted by one of the summer's freakiest weather patterns: the heat dome. If that's a new phrase to you, keep reading and I'll break down what a heat dome is and what causes it, and for more help, read CNET's list of hacks for keeping your home cool in the summer. What's a heat dome? Think of a heat dome as sim
The Fourth of July holiday will bring explosive light shows on Friday night, but many folks will see much quieter and calmer lights in the sky tonight, as recent solar activity will continue to bring the Aurora Borealis to several US states. Wednesday night marks the winding down of a Kp 4 magnetic storm that the Space Weather Prediction Center reported starting late Monday evening. The K-Index measures the horizontal impact of geomagnetic storms, and a Kp4 or Kp 5 rating results in what the Na
Alongside fireworks and drone shows, people will have another excuse to look up at the sky this week, at least in select parts of the US. The sun has graced Earth with another round of solar material, which will interact with our atmosphere and make sections of the sky glow. Of course, we're talking about the aurora borealis, and it'll be visible in 16 states on Tuesday and Wednesday night. Of the two days, Tuesday night into Wednesday morning will be your best shot. The Space Weather Predictio
It's been a hot summer for a lot of areas already. As much as the heat here in upstate New York has me cooped up inside with the air conditioner blasting, it's nothing compared to other parts of the US now impacted by one of the summer's freakiest weather patterns: the heat dome.

Ryan Haines / Android Authority It’s safe to say that more or less every Android user has a weather app installed on their phone. I certainly do, and I use it daily to check the weather, not only for today but for the rest of the week as well — it’s part of my morning routine. In my search for the perfect weather app, I tried countless options and can tell you there are significant differences between them. Some were loaded with ads and pop-ups, while others were poorly designed. Then there we
There's a trend at the moment of solving online games with programming, let's do one from the UK called Passport Application, which is developed by "His Majesty's Passport Office" or HMPO. It's a cultural phenomenon in the UK: despite being quite expensive (about £100 just to start) for the standard online version (a masterpiece of minimalist design, entirely text-based), most British play the game, and do so every 10 years or so. It's an adventure puzzle document collection game. The premise i
This story originally appeared on Vox and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Globally, humanity is producing more food than ever, but that harvest is concentrated in just a handful of breadbaskets. More than one-third of the world’s wheat and barley exports come from Ukraine and Russia, for example. Some of these highly productive farmlands, including major crop-growing regions in the United States, are on track to see the sharpest drops in harvests due to climate change. That’s bad n
A good multitool can be a reliable companion for decades (as long as you don't lose it!). Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET I like having a good multitool close at hand and at all times. While they can't replace a proper toolkit, I don't fancy carrying a full toolkit with me when I'm out and about. Many of my readers are like me, often finding themselves doing random and unplanned DIY tasks throughout the day, so having a portable toolkit that can handle the basics is essential.

TL;DR Porous materials, including some leather substitutes, are susceptible to getting damp and harboring the growth of mold. The new POCO X7 PRO features one colorway that includes just such an eco-leather panel on the handset’s rear. Over on Reddit, one new X7 PRO owner has shared a pic that appears to show mold taking over the leather. You don’t need to be a Last of Us fan to have a healthy fear of fungus, and anyone who’s ever lived in a home infested with black mold can attest to how tra

Adding the information to the Favorites tab will allow users to quickly control their smart home devices based on current weather conditions.

You might think a pillow is a pillow. It just has to be soft and fit under your head, right? Your head, neck, and back disagree. Getting a good night’s sleep can depend heavily on your pillow, so when choosing one, here are a few key questions to ask. What kind of sleeper are you? Do you sleep on your back, side, or stomach? Do you stay relatively still, or do you toss and turn a lot? Do you usually have one pillow under your head, or do you cocoon yourself into a pillow chrysalis? This is prob
A wave of machine-learning weather models have been unleashed by some of the very biggest businesses on the planet. These challenge the orthodoxy of traditional physics-based computer forecasts that have been incrementally developed and improved over many decades. But are the machine learning models any good? The weather is a national obsession for us Brits, and it is no wonder given the huge changes that are seen and felt from one day to the next.
A new version of the Android malware "Godfather" creates isolated virtual environments on mobile devices to steal account data and transactions from legitimate banking apps. These malicious apps are executed inside a controlled virtual environment on the device, enabling real-time spying, credential theft, and transaction manipulation while maintaining perfect visual deception. The tactic resembles that seen in the FjordPhantom Android malware in late 2023, which also used virtualization to ex
Alaska got its first-ever heat advisory over the weekend, which is in effect until June 17. Over the last few days, temperatures in central Alaska have reached 86 degrees Fahrenheit (that's 30 Celsius). It's not as if Alaska never gets hot in the summer. However, as Jason Laney, a warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Fairbanks, Alaska, told CNET, "The frequency with which the heat is coming up is starting to be a bit of a concern." This heat advisory seems pr

Alaska just crossed a first off its bucket list with the first-ever heat advisory for Sunday, June 15. Temperatures in central Alaska are expected to reach 86 degrees Fahrenheit (that's 30 Celsius) through the weekend and into the week of June 16. It's not as if Alaska never gets hot in the summer.

When he initially saw his young kids growing confused with whether their grandfather was alive or not—the introduction of the bot was complicated by the early stages of the pandemic, a time when they met many relatives virtually—he decided to restrict access to the bot until they were older. For a time, the bot only came out for special events l

It’s a day to celebrate all that dads have contributed to the people, homes, and communities that they’re a part of. Being a dad is a lot of work — something I can vouch for, being a relatively new one myself — so for Father’s Day, why not give dear old dad a token of appreciation and love? Whether your dad prefers practical or clever gifts, we think you’ll b
On Thursday, Google announced a new advancement powered by artificial intelligence that could change the way we predict hurricanes. Weather Lab is an interactive website that shows live and historic AI weather models, including its latest tropical cyclone model, which includes hurricanes. It was developed by Google DeepMind, the company's London-based AI research lab. The cyclone model can predict the formation, track, intensity, size and shape of the storm. And it can create 50 possible scenar

your Dad doesn't need a gift for Father's Day. Ask any dad in your life, and he'll tell you the same. However, you should gift him something anyway. I am not only a dad and a gear reviewer, but also someone with a specific philosophy about what makes a good gift for middle-aged men like me. The best gifts for a dad are things that not only are relevant to his interests but also can be fairly described as “overkill.” Dads tend to like things that are useful but overbuilt. You can rarely go wrong
Apple’s Emergency SOS via Satellite service has been slowly expanding from a major emergency role – essentially letting you call in an air ambulance when injured in a remote location – to a broader way of remaining in touch when outside mobile data coverage. A new satellite-based service spotted in the iOS 26 developer beta will be useful in both extreme situations and more everyday scenarios in areas with poor mobile coverage … Namely, access to weather reports, as spotted by Macworld.

At 10:44 pm Eastern time on May 16, Ryan Hall spotted a blue square on his radar indicating debris flying into the air and realized a huge tornado was racing toward Somerset, Kentucky. “We’ve been watching this storm for a while, we’ve been hootin’ and hollerin’ for a while, hopefully the message has gotten out there and we know to be in our safe spots,” Hall warned his YouTube audience in a calm voice with a Southern twang. A silver robot with blue eyes popped onto the screen to tell Hall tha
