The start of the COVID-19 pandemic is now five years in the rearview mirror, but its effects continue to reverberate. While those leading the US healthcare system have embraced conspiracy theories and junk science to justify a reduced focus on vaccines (particularly the COVID jab) many people are still seeking out immunization.

Five brands could announce CarPlay Ultra availability as soon as iPhone 17 event day

iPhone 17 news will undoubtedly dominate technology headlines next week. Yet September 9 could also prove to be a turning point for Apple’s CarPlay Ultra. While I don’t expect the feature to take the spotlight during Apple’s event itself, the same day marks the start of IAA Mobility in Munich, where Hyundai is poised to confirm support and other automakers may follow. I’m now confident that September 9, the first day of the expo, is when we’ll see Hyundai reveal its take on CarPlay Ultra, poss

Google may have given up on making Android tablets, but Samsung is putting along. Last week, Samsung announced a budget slate—the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite—but now it's time for flagship tablets. At IFA 2025, the tech exhibition in Berlin, the company announced the next-gen Galaxy Tab S11 series, comprising the Tab S11 and the Tab S11 Ultra.

Even Google has conceded it won’t be making new tablets and seems to have already forgotten about the Pixel Tablet.

The Color of the Future: A history of blue

I don’t remember when blue was the chosen one, exactly; maybe when I was 13 or so. After that, yellow, purple, orange, green, and pink occupied the top spot for various periods. Blue never made a comeback. I saw it as a banal, common color. After all, the sky is made of it, and the sky is everywhere. Then I realized

Not only is it due for an upgrade (the Ultra 2 debuted in September 2023), but Apple may have actually dropped the biggest clue yet. Buried in the public beta of iOS 26 (first spotted by MacRumors) are screen specs that don't match any existing Apple Watch model on the market, hinting at the arrival of an Apple Watch U

SQLite's documentation about its durability properties is unclear

One of the most important properties of a database is durability. Durability means that after a transaction commits, you can be confident that, absent catastrophic hardware failure, the changes made by the commit won't be lost. This should remain true even if the operating system crashes or the system loses power soon after the commit. On Linux, and most other Unix operating systems, durability is ensured by calling the fsync system call at the right time. Durability comes at a performance cost
