1500W Portable Power Station Is Cheaper Than on Black Friday, And You’ll Get a Free 200W Solar Panel Too

Amazon is kicking off Prime Day deals earlier this year, and the sale isn’t exclusive to Prime members: Perhaps one of the best deals of the moment is on the Jackery bundle which includes the portable power station and a 200W solar panel.

Are These 20 Kitchen Tools Absolutely Worthless? These Pros Think So

Kitchen space is precious, especially if you're working with limited counters and packed cabinets. The last thing anyone needs is a drawer full of gimmicky gadgets that never get used. Whether it's a strawberry huller you forget about or a banana slicer that takes up more space than it's worth, single-use tools can quickly become clutter. Professional chefs know better than anyone which tools are truly essential and which are just hype. If you're aiming for a more efficient, minimalist kitchen,

Happy hour with Gemini: How I built my perfect summer bartender

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority If you open the liquor cabinets (plural) in my home, you’ll find an eclectic collection of spirits ranging from the mundane to the random and unique bottles my husband and I have bought in some small or unknown town during our travels. My husband likes to joke that I gifted him a basic bartending course and now I’m benefiting from it, but in my mind, it was a sound financial investment for both of us. The problem, though, is that there isn’t a course varied e

This stuff is way better than super glue (and it's less messy)

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Whether due to being dropped, misused, or aged, broken plastics are a fact of life these days. My weapon of choice in the war against waste and sending things to the landfill has been cyanoacrylate adhesive -- this stuff goes by many names, such as Krazy Glue, instant glue, power glue, or superglue -- and on the whole, it's very good stuff. But it's far from perfect. Also: The $8 accessory you're not using enough for screen repairs and fi

Blackwell: Nvidia's GPU

Nvidia has a long tradition of building giant GPUs. Blackwell, their latest graphics architecture, continues that tradition. GB202 is the largest Blackwell die. It occupies a massive 750mm2 of area, and has 92.2 billion transistors. GB202 has 192 Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs), the closest equivalent to a CPU core on a GPU, and feeds them with a massive memory subsystem. Nvidia’s RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell features the largest GB202 configuration to date. It sits alongside the RTX 5090 in Nvidia’s

The Death of the Middle-Class Musician

Rollie Pemberton was barely a teenager when he started rapping. His hometown, Edmonton, didn’t have much of a hip-hop scene in the early aughts, so he honed his craft online. He plugged an old-school microphone into his mom’s desktop computer, recorded a few verses, later turned them into tracks, and sent them out into the burgeoning music blogosphere. Within a few years, he’d adopted the emcee name Cadence Weapon and earned a reputation as a shrewd critic and sharp lyricist. This work didn’t p

Tesla shows off its first fully autonomous delivery to convince us its self-driving cars work well

Tesla's robotaxi service may have had some early hitches, but the company said it just successfully delivered a car autonomously. Using the same robotaxi technology, Tesla showed the delivery process of a Model Y from its Gigafactory Texas in Austin to a customer with a roughly 30-minute journey as seen in a video posted on X. Unlike the robotaxi service launch last week, the automated delivery had no safety monitor, nor anyone behind the wheel. Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, also posted on X that the

Time Is Three-Dimensional and Space Is Just a Side Effect, Scientist Says

A fringe new theory suggests that time is the fundamental structure of the physical universe, and space is merely a byproduct. According to Gunther Kletetschka, a geologist — not a physicist, you'll note, but more on that later — from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, time is three-dimensional and the dimensions of space are an emergent property of it, a press release from the university explains. "These three time dimensions are the primary fabric of everything, like the canvas of a paintin

I instantly improved Samsung Gallery’s search using its hidden menu, and you can too

Andy Walker / Android Authority Samsung devices are nothing if not goldmines for treasure hunters, particularly those dealing in hidden menus. Just glossing through Good Lock and its myriad modules indicates how customizable One UI is. However, not every new feature requires an external download. Often, these options are hidden within the stock skin — you need to know where to look. Do you use Samsung Gallery as your default gallery app? 88 votes Yes, it's my default gallery app on my Samsung

What really happens when your phone runs out of RAM?

Robert Triggs / Android Authority These days, high-end smartphones and even more affordable models ship with about as much RAM as a modern mid-range PC. And why shouldn’t they? We use our phones for various tasks, from flicking through countless apps to playing the latest high-end games. They all need RAM, and increasingly more of it, especially when it comes to chatting with a large language model or using AI to spruce up our media. Can your phone even run out of RAM these days? It sounds unl

Stop Wasting Money: 20 Pointless Kitchen Gadgets Chefs Warn Against

We all know how important preserving valuable kitchen space is. There's simply no room for single-function gadgets that are barely used, or worse, don't do much of anything at all. If you can't stand clutter -- and wasting money -- avoiding overrated and useless tools is a good place to start. To find out which kitchen tools aren't worth the space they occupy, I turned to five professional chefs. These career cooks are the ultimate authority on which kitchen gadgets should get the boot -- espec

I deleted my second brain

Two nights ago, I deleted everything. Every note in Obsidian. Every half-baked atomic thought, every Zettelkasten slip, every carefully linked concept map. I deleted every Apple Note I’d synced since 2015. Every quote I’d ever highlighted. Every to-do list from every productivity system I’d ever borrowed, broken, or bastardized. Gone. Erased in seconds. What followed: Relief. And a comforting silence where the noise used to be. For years, I had been building what technologists and lifehacker

Rubin Observatory’s Stunning Result Proves It’s a ‘Game Changer’ for Spotting Dangerous Asteroids

Astronomers usually keep their eyes on the sky, but on Monday, June 23, the community turned its attention toward Washington, D.C., as scientists from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory unveiled the telescope’s first images. Many have waited more than 20 years to see Rubin in action, and its initial findings did not disappoint. Rubin, a joint initiative of the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science, recently conducted its first 10 hours of test obser

Bigger bitcoin HODL: Time for 10% to 40% of portfolio in crypto, says financial advisor Ric Edelman

Four years ago, financial advisor Ric Edelman went out on a limb in saying everyone should hold cryptocurrencies. But how much? Low single digits was his recommendation. In his "The Truth about Crypto" book in 2021, Edelman said as low as a 1% allocation was reasonable. A lot has changed. This week, Edelman said financial advisors should be recommending anywhere from 10% to 40% allocations to cryptocurrencies, and he is aware it's quite a shift in his own thinking. "Today I am saying 40%, th

Huge Number of Crypto Users Suddenly Getting Terrifying Letters From the IRS

Crypto bros are freaking out amid a surge in letters from the Internal Revenue Service about their digital currency holdings. As Bitcoin.com and other sites report, there has been a whopping 758 percent spike in customer mentions of IRS letters over the past two months alone, suggesting that there may be a taxation crackdown in progress. We don't know exactly how many people have gotten these troubling letters — but apparently, there are a few different types going out. According to Coinledge

Coinbase is the best performing stock in the S&P 500 in June, and may have even more room to run

People watch as the logo for Coinbase, the biggest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, is displayed on the Nasdaq MarketSite jumbotron at Times Square in New York on April 14, 2021. Coinbase is the top performer in the S&P 500 in June, boosted by positive regulatory updates, product launches and, of course, its very inclusion in the benchmark stock index at the end of May. The crypto exchange's outperformance in the S&P 500 extends back to the April 8 market low, just after President Donald Trump's

Trump Kills Trade Talks With Canada After It Hits U.S. With Digital Services Tax

President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he is terminating all trade talks with Canada after the country decided to move forward with a digital services tax on U.S. tech companies like Meta. The president, who also mentioned high dairy tariffs, called Canada “a very difficult Country to TRADE with,” in a Truth Social post. Trump characterized the digital services tax as a “direct and blatant attack on our Country.” The new Canadian measure imposes a 3% tax on digital services revenue mad

Substack Is Having a Moment—Again. But Time Is Running Out

Before June 8, the skilled and respected ABC News television journalist Terry Moran was neither a household name nor political lightning rod. That changed abruptly when Moran posted on X that Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller was “a world-class hater,” followed by an addendum that the president was a hater as well. (The post was later taken down.) While the statements were certainly defendable, they apparently violated ABC policy, and Moran was suspended, then dismissed. Moran,
