How I use Tailscale

The Tailscale logo I’ve been using Tailscale for around four years to connect my disparate devices, servers and apps together.

China Shows Off Armed Attack Robots

It's no secret that China is blazing full-steam into the future, developing technological marvels like levitating bullet trains, robot boxing fights, and a supercomputer network in space.

Galaxy S26 Ultra leak hints at a serious upgrade for power users

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A new leak claims the Galaxy S26 Ultra will use LPDDR5X RAM running at 10.7 Gbps. This would be around 11.5% faster than the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s 9.6 Gbps RAM. The speed matches Micron’s latest LPDDR5X chip, which is up to 20% more power-efficient than its predecessor. A new leak suggests Samsung’s next Ultra flagship could get a boost to both performance and battery life. If accurate, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will ship with cutting-edge LPDDR5X RAM that not o

Here's the absolutely massive Tamagotchi Paradise next to other objects in the wild, for scale

No product launch excites me more than the release of a new Tamagotchi. So when it comes time to review one, I like to first give myself a little while to just live with the device — to feel that initial delight and let it die down before I try to look at it critically. That way, I can more fairly assess whether we've actually got a toy that's worth the price tag and will hold a person's attention once the novelty wears off. But Tamagotchi Paradise arrived a few days ago, and while a proper rev

James Cameron Will Keep Making ‘Avatar’ Movies Whether You Want Him to or Not

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Cameron talked about why he is so committed to the world of Avatar and it’s not (just) because the films make the big bucks every time one is rel

Samsung bashes Chinese watches, says it’s already working on Galaxy Watch 9, 10

TL;DR Samsung recently compared its approach to smart wearables with Chinese fitness devices, claiming it focuses on “high quality.” It said that Chinese smartwatches offer seven to ten days of battery backup because they offer low-power components. Samsung, on the other hand, is focusing on accurate health measurement systems that are already being tested for the next two generations of the Galaxy Watch. Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 was launched just a month ago, but the company has already begu

What Is Popover=Hint?

What is popover=hint? If you’ve been following along with advancements in HTML, such as the new popover API, you may have noticed that a new popover type ( hint ) recently landed in Chrome 133 (January 2025). But what exactly does it do? The short answer is: popover="hint" allows you to open an unrelated hint popover without closing other popovers in the stack. This means you can have an existing stack of auto popovers remain open while still displaying a hint popover. You often see this sort

‘Wednesday’ Showrunner Confirms We’ve Seen the Last of Xavier Thorpe

It turns out that Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) was right to leave Xavier Thorpe (Percy Hynes White) on ‘read’ after he gifted her a cell phone at the end of season one. Better yet, during season two of Tim Burton’s Wednesday, we see her throw the phone into a boiling pot before returning to Nevermore Academy, only to find that Xavier had been transferred to another supernatural school. It’s an abrupt end to a significant character from season one—but intentionally so, on the production team’s behal

After Mount Vesuvius Demolished Pompeii, People Returned to Live Among the Ruins

In 79 CE, Mount Vesuvius erupted in what would become one of humanity’s most infamous ancient tragedies. Tens of centuries later, archaeologists eagerly dug through the ash and pumice to rediscover the buried Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum in all their preserved glory. In their eagerness, however, they may have missed an important layer of history. While working in the Insula meridionalis—the southern quarter of Pompeii’s ancient urban center—archaeologists uncovered evidence confirmin
