The best wireless mice for 2025

There’s a reason the MX Master 3S is right up the top of our list. The ergonomic design almost feels like a hand rest that places three customizable buttons and a second scroll wheel within easy reach of your thumb. Every button is configurable via Logitech’s Options+ software, which is a treasure trove of productivity potential.

Apple likely won’t release an M5 MacBook Pro until next year, but should you wait for it?

Apple has typically updated the MacBook Pro on a nearly annual basis, generally around October. This year, though, rumors suggest that Apple will be deviating from that pattern – and it’s increasingly likely that the next MacBook Pro model will launch early next year. That raises the question: should you wait for it? M5 MacBook Pro: What to expect With the M5 MacBook Pro, you’ll most definitely see the same 14-inch and 16-inch miniLED displays as prior MacBook Pro models, as well as the same g

Tiny microbe challenges the definition of cellular life

Scientists recently discovered a microbe with one of the tiniest genomes on Earth. More surprising, the creature is almost entirely dependent on its host: Its genes don’t support any of the functions of metabolism, one of the key processes of life. As such, it challenges fundamental notions of what it means to be a living organism. The discovery was “pure serendipity,” says Takuro Nakayama, an evolutionary microbiologist at the University of Tsukuba in Japan. Takayama wanted to study the many m

We’re Not So Special: A new book challenges human exceptionalism

The Arrogant Ape: The Myth of Human Exceptionalism and Why It Matters by Christine Webb • Avery • 2025 • 336 pages • $32 Suppose that you are walking at night, and you see someone on your side of the street coming toward you, about to pass you. Is his face angry, or is he just thinking seriously about something? Your answer to that question may well depend on the faces that you are used to seeing. If you tend to encounter a lot of very angry faces, your threshold for considering a face “angry”

The James Webb Space Telescope Finds New Moon Orbiting Uranus

No joke: Science has found a new teeny, tiny moon orbiting Uranus. NASA announced on Tuesday that the James Webb Space Telescope found yet another moon floating around Uranus, an ice giant that already had 13 other known moons. The discovery was made thanks to images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. A team from the Southwest Research Institute noticed an unfamiliar object that appeared to be orbiting Uranus. The images have been stitched together in a slideshow on YouTube of the moon, w

I Asked Pro Chefs: What Are the Biggest Kitchen Blunders Most Home Cooks Make?

Any culinary endeavor can feel daunting for new home cooks, between selecting ingredients, preparation work and actually cooking. Seasoned pros encounter setbacks regularly, but the kitchen serves as an ideal laboratory for experimentation -- a place where failures become valuable lessons and each attempt builds better technique and an expanded recipe repertoire. Understanding pitfalls before you begin can make all the difference. To suss out the biggest blunders to avoid in the kitchen, I spo

Scientists Find Evidence That You're a Hypocrite Who's Causing More Than Your Share of Climate Change

When it comes to personal contributions to climate change, most Americans seem to have no clue how damaging some of their individual actions can be. Folks who happily recycle and switch to more energy-efficient appliances, per a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Nexus journal, likely have a far larger carbon footprint than they realize. When it comes to personal behavioral changes to mitigate climate change, not all interventions are created equal. A

Medical cannabis patient data exposed by unsecured database

As legal cannabis has expanded around the United States for both recreational and medical use, companies have amassed troves of data about customers and their transactions. People who have applied for medical marijuana cards have had to share particularly personal health data to qualify. For some patients in Ohio who use medical weed, a recent data exposure could impact their sensitive information. Security researcher Jeremiah Fowler found a publicly accessible database in mid-July that appeare

Why Semantic Layers Matter (and how to build one with DuckDB)

Many ask themselves, "Why would I use a semantic layer? What is it anyway?" In this hands-on guide, we’ll build the simplest possible semantic layer using just a YAML file and a Python script—not as the goal itself, but as a way to understand the value of semantic layers. We’ll then query 20 million NYC taxi records with consistent business metrics executed using DuckDB and Ibis. By the end, you’ll know exactly when a semantic layer solves real problems and when it’s overkill. It's a topic that

This 3D Printer Has Four Different Extruders. It's the Best Thing Snapmaker's Ever Made

Snapmaker's 3D printers don't always follow trends. The original Snapmaker was a small three-in-one machine that could be a 3D printer, laser cutter or CNC, depending on the type of tool head you use. For years, the company has iterated on that idea, culminating in the much larger Artisan model. After that, Snapmaker tried a dual-nozzle 3D printer called the J1. In my review of the J1, I liked that the nozzles could print two models at the same time, reducing the time it takes to print batches,

Meta’s First ‘Real’ Smart Glasses Have One Huge Problem

When Google Glass came stumbling onto the scene in 2013, people were taken aback. Not only did Google’s smart glasses, with their bordering-on-novel camera, present new and somewhat icky questions about personal privacy, but they also crossed an even more controversial line: they looked really, really dorky. Fast forward more than 10 years into the future, and all of those hangups (at least on the surface) seem to be in the rearview. Take Meta, for example. Sales of Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses
