zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-12-02 23:52:41

ALLVISIONN / Getty Images ZDNET's key takeaways If your Linux desktop freezes, don't panic; there are ways to fix it. You can use keyboard shortcuts, virtual consoles, SSH, and other tricks. These tips can help avoid a hard reboot. I started using Linux in 1997, and since then, it's been a rare occasion that my desktop causes me any issues. Notice I said "rare." That doesn't mean I've gone all these years without an issue. In fact, I have had my desktop freeze up on me enough that I've had

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Apple is reportedly preparing a major overhaul for Siri. The updated Siri is likely to be able to control a variety of third-party apps, performing very specific actions inside those apps. The update is expected to roll out in Spring next year with the iOS 26.4 update. Back in 2024, Apple promised a significant Siri upgrade that would understand voice commands better, have a more intuitive model running underneath, and be “deeply integrated” into the sys

Bridges are often considered to belong to the realm of the engineer rather than that of the architect. But the architecture of infrastructure has a powerful impact on the environment and the Millau Viaduct, designed in close collaboration with structural engineers, illustrates how the architect can play an integral role in the design of bridges.

5 Best Electric Toothbrushes, Backed by Dentists and Hygienists

wired.com Boutayna Chokrane 2025-12-03 00:30:00

What About U-Shaped Toothbrushes? There are many U-shaped toothbrushes available now that use a mouthpiece full of bristles to brush one section of teeth—or sometimes the entire mouth—all at once in around 30 seconds. We've tried a few and think they're fine to use in addition to regular brushing. None of them are as effective as standard electric toothbrushes. Bill Busch of North Kansas City Dental and Joseph Salim, owner of Sutton Place Dental Associates, agree that these aren't replacements.

James Webb Finds Evidence of Free-Floating Planets So Large They Can Gather Their Own Planetary Systems

So much for heliocentrism. An international team of astronomers using observations made with the James Webb Space Telescope have found evidence of massive planets out there that're capable of forming their own planetary systems — without a star. These planets would be the center of something like a mini version of our solar system where other, smaller planets revolve around it.
