Notion’s offline mode might just make me ditch Obsidian

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-06 16:00:56

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority Notion is one of my favorite tools. From databases to to-do lists, tracking restaurants I wanted to check out, and so much more, I’ve dabbled in it for years until I finally made the switch to Obsidian. That’s mostly because of Notion’s one fatal flaw. The moment you lose internet, the app effectively becomes useless. The moment you lose internet, the app effectively becomes useless.

Apple TV+ just announced a 30% price rise, which may convince some subscribers to cancel and churn out for a while. However, the company seems to be prepared to mitigate for that somewhat. Users on Reddit discovered that when they went to cancel their subscription in the Apple TV app, they were presented with a 54% discount offer for two months. This limited time offer brings the price down from $12.99 to $5.99. After the two months price reduction, the subscription would return to the standar

NASA's Juno Mission Leaves Legacy of Science at Jupiter

The NASA spacecraft tasked with uncovering the secrets of Jupiter, king of the planets, is running out of time. The Juno probe has already survived far longer than anticipated—its path around the solar system’s largest planet has repeatedly flown it through a tempest of radiation that should have corroded away its instruments and electronics long ago. And yet here it is: one of the greatest planetary detectives ever built, still pirouetting around Jupiter, fully functional. But it may not be fo

A Physicist Wants to Turn Jupiter’s Largest Moon Into a Gigantic Dark Matter Detector

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-11-06 14:00:14

When searching for the unknown, classic physics wisdom holds that a bigger detector boosts the chances of discovery. A physicist is taking that advice to heart, advancing a bold plan to use none other than Ganymede—Jupiter’s largest moon—as a dark matter detector on an astronomical scale. Dark matter refers to the “invisible” mass that supposedly constitutes 85% of the universe. There’s considerable evidence that dark matter exists, but it’s “dark,” meaning it doesn’t respond to light and very

From laptops to phones to wireless Bluetooth speakers, earbuds and more, USB-C connections have become the de facto standard for charging and data transfer of devices. While USB-C is just about everywhere now, including longstanding holdout Apple since the iPhone 15, not all ports or cables are the same. They look identical, sure, and have some interoperability, but there are ratings for different charging and data speeds. That can make choosing a USB-C cable more complicated than it should be.

One of these mega regions spans Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and vast swaths of Asia.

Apple could rejuvenate the next iPad Air model with one new feature
