In fact, the theme of all of Apple's updates this year is streamlining both the visual UI and feature sets across Apple devices, while making more apps and features available on them, punctuated by Apple Intell

The 10 Best Apple TV Plus Shows You're Probably Not Watching

Apple TV Plus feels like it has operated under the radar for a while now. Yes, the streamer has hits like Severance, Ted Lasso, and Rogen's Emmy-nominated comedy The Studio but most of its library titles have a habit of lurking in the shadows. Considering the platform's superb storytelling quality, the lack of knowledge of these shows is disconcerting. Before you ask, I already put together a roundup of the streamer's epic sci-fi offerings, which you should look at. So don't expect those titles

Welcome to Edition 8.04 of the Rocket Report! The Pentagon's Golden Dome missile defense shield will be a lot of things. Along with new sensors, command and control systems, and satellites, Golden Dome will require a lot of rockets. The pieces of the Golden Dome architecture operating in orbit will ride to space on commercial launch vehicles. And Golden Dome's space-based interceptors will essentially be designed as flying fuel tanks with rocket engines. This shouldn't be overlooked, and that's

Ryan Haines / Android Authority As a US-based tech reviewer, I might get access to a lot of different devices, but I often find myself changing between the same few companies because of the limited number of brands that launch here.

Is Trump Trying to Get Back in Elon Musk’s Good Graces?

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2026-01-01 16:10:01

Elon Musk and Donald Trump joined forces before the 2024 presidential election to help each other out. Trump needed Musk’s money to buy votes and Musk needed Trump to decimate the federal government while making sure contracts with his own companies remained untouched. But the two men had a very messy falling out back in late May, when Musk departed his government role with DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency.

Samsung killed its classic DeX mode in One UI 8, but there’s a good reason

This move aligns DeX with Google’s broader effort to improve Android’s desktop capabilities, which should benefit DeX in the long run. However, the new DeX is currently a downgrade for users, as it lacks many quality-of-life features that were present in the classic version. Samsung DeX is one of the best features of O
