RCS has been around for over a decade, but the messaging standard gained a major boost when Apple adopted it in 2023. The GSMA has brought several features and improvements to RCS in recent years, and it’s just announced another upgrade. The GSMA just announced the release of RCS Universal Profile 3.1, which brings better audio messaging capabilities. This RCS release specifically supports the xHE-AAC audio codec, enabling higher-quality voice notes and other audio clips. It’s worth noting tha

Porsche 911 GTS review: The first hybrid 911 is better with a battery

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-03 11:00:38

When Porsche first unveiled the new 911 GTS, it's safe to say that there weren't many people on planet Earth pining for a hybrid 911. The idea of one of the world's most iconic sports cars taking a cue from the humble Toyota Prius is a concept that's a little hard for the average auto enthusiast to get their head around. But they should try, because the technology that Porsche has deployed in the new 911 GTS, Porsche's first hybrid sports car, is properly impressive. This is a hybrid system tha

But technology is a much more expansive phenomenon, encompassing not only all the various tools and gadgets we can clearly see, but also a vast and mostly invisible digital infrastructure of software and code upon which our modern world is based.

Earth’s Unusual Rapid Spin Could Prompt First-Ever ‘Negative Leap Second’

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-08-03 11:20:05

The Earth has been spinning unusually fast recently. Last year on July 4, our planet set a record by completing a full spin 1.66 milliseconds (0.00166 seconds) faster than usual, according to timeanddate.com. One year later, on July 10, 2025, Earth completed a daily rotation that scientists estimate was 1.36 milliseconds faster than usual, giving us another particularly short day.
