Getty Images/Zooey Liao/CNET Social Security payments can help you fund part of your retirement -- but don't bank on it as your only source of income. The Social Security trust fund is expected to dry up by 2034, according to the Social Security Administration. That's one year sooner than initially forecast. While the fund won't vanish completely, it's estimated that you'll only receive 81% of your benefits, at best. Why? The fund has been running out of money for years, but President Donald

The New LG OLED TV Has the Brightest Screen I've Ever Tested

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-01 18:55:00

CNET's key takeaways The LG G5 series is the best and brightest OLED I've ever tested in the CNET Labs. At $3,400 for the 65-inch size, it's expensive compared to some of the competition. The G5's best-in-class brightness made gaming easier and more enjoyable than I expected. As a Call of Duty player, I know that quick responses can be the difference between clinching victory and languishing at the bottom of the leaderboard.

More (But Not All) of the Original ‘Trek’ Crew Will Come to ‘Strange New Worlds’

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is uniquely situated on the Trek timeline, showing us adventures that unfurled not long before the original series. That means that there’s no avoiding having some familiar character names popping up, and with that, the built-in fun of seeing, say, an iconic figure like Spock be played in a younger iteration, with Ethan Peck stepping in for Leonard Nimoy.

Uranus Leaks More Heat Than We Thought

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-09-01 23:25:45

When Voyager 2 flew past Uranus in 1986, the spacecraft detected a surprisingly low level of internal heat from the planet. Since then, scientists believed Uranus to be the odd one out in our solar system’s family of giant planets—the others being Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune—who all tend to emit more heat than they absorb from sunlight. Now, a new study suggests that scientists may have had the wrong idea about Voyager 2’s data: Uranus does have an internal heat source similar to its planetary

While these architectures have achieved impressive results across domains, this lack of hierarchy has some fundamental limitations.
