The Army Is Giving Up on War Horses

The U.S. military is finally done horsing around. According to a report from Task and Purpose, the Department of Defense is significantly cutting back on funding for its Military Working Equid program, and it plans to put an end to almost all horse-related operations. Apparently, steeds are no longer fit for modern warfare in the eyes of some folks at the Pentagon. Per the report, the Army will be redirecting $2 million that currently gets funneled into the Military Working Equid program to pro

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra just hit an all-time low price for Prime Day

Tim Cook has a new deputy but Apple’s next CEO is probably still someone else

Jeff Williams, often considered Tim Cook’s successor, is leaving Apple. Sabih Khan, a 30-year veteran of the company, is Apple’s next chief operating officer. Does Khan taking Cook’s old job make him CEO-designate? Jeff Williams retiring certainly clears the path for Khan to climb up the succession planning ladder. However, I would wager that Apple’s CEO succession plan isn’t changing. Jeff Williams retires and Sabih Khan steps up Jeff Williams, who has been called Tim Cook’s Tim Cook, has alw

Inertial forces (indirect terms) in problems with a central body

Gravitational systems in astrophysics often comprise a body – the primary – that far outweights the others, and which is taken as the centre of the reference frame. A fictitious acceleration, also known as the indirect term, must therefore be added to all other bodies in the system to compensate for the absence of motion of the primary. In this Research Note, we first stress that there is not one indirect term but as many indirect terms as there are bodies in the system that exert a gravitationa

Samsung’s S90D OLED TV is at its lowest price ever for Prime Day and it’s great for gaming

Why does this massive Galaxy Z Fold 7 leak not mention the S Pen at all?

Alex Walker-Todd / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s Z Fold phones have supported its S Pen stylus in the past, even though the foldables could not internally store the pen.

A last-minute leak of Fold 7 launch materials appears to make no mention of the S Pen, raising doubts about support. We’ve got less than a day to go before Samsung executives take the

Worms Make Me Uncomfortable, but I'll Still Play This Upcoming Apple Arcade Game

Worms are everywhere. I know and accept this, but I hate those little critters and they freak me out. Their wriggly bodies make my skin crawl, and I actively avoid them at all costs.
