The best dorm room essentials for college students

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-21 08:00:35

If you like retreating to your corner of the dorm room to watch shows on your tablet, the HoverBar Duo 2 can make the viewing experience a lot more comfortable. The first-gen model easily made the list of our favorite iPad accessories, and the new generation improves upon that model with a quick-switch tab to swap out the weighted base for a clamp. It’ll work with just about any tablet-sized slab from five to 8.68 inches — so ereaders and even smartphones should fit. The handy accessory can tur

Cybersecurity’s global alarm system is breaking down

Cybersecurity practitioners have since flooded Discord channels and LinkedIn feeds with emergency posts and memes of “NVD” and “CVE” engraved on tombstones.

In a social media post, Jen Easterly, a US cybersecurity expert, said: “Losing [CVE] would be like tearing out the card catalog from every library at once—leaving defenders to sor

Deflecting a Killer Asteroid Is More Complicated Than NASA Thought

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-08-21 15:00:42

In 2022, NASA rammed a spacecraft into an asteroid to see if it could alter its orbital period around its parent asteroid. The mission, dubbed the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), aimed to determine whether humanity could theoretically save itself from a catastrophic asteroid impact. DART collided with Dimorphos, a small moonlet orbiting a larger asteroid called Didymos, on September 26, 2022. The results of the impact blew NASA’s expectations out of the water, shortening Dimorphos’s or

The Bissell Revolution HydroSteam is the best overall carpet cleaner I tested. It was the only carpet washer that effectively removed pet urine and pet odors from my carpet. It also came in second to the Tineco Carpet Cruiser with tough stain removal. But for $300 less than the Tineco, its price-to-value ratio is unbeatable. Why I like it: While the Tineco Carpet Cruiser edged out the Bissell HydroSteam on the tough stain removal test, the Bissell blew away the competition on pet odor testing.
