In a world of flashy limited-edition video game consoles, the 30th anniversary PS5 hardware Sony released in September 2024 came off as remarkably refined, which might have been why it was so hard to actually buy. If you missed that original drop, you'll have another chance to order it, according to a Facebook post on the official PlayStation Facebook page. Sony is doing a limited restock of the 30th A

It took 45 years, but spreadsheet legend Mitch Kapor finally got his MIT degree

The funny part to Aulet was that Kapor, who created the groundbreaking spreadsheet program Lotus 1-2-3 and founded Lotus Development Corp . in Cambridge, had attended Sloan in the 1970s but left without getting a degree. Usually no laughing matter, the Doriot Lecture is a prestigious annual event at MIT’s Sloan School of Management.

Sarah Smith, founder and managing partner of the eponymous Sarah Smith Fund, announced Thursday the final closing of a $16 million Fund I. Smith launched her eponymous fund in 2022 and is a solo GP. She said she’s “stunned” by what AI can unlock for firms like hers, solo and next-generation. “I can’t imagine doing venture any other way now,” she said. “While I believe company building still requires a team effort, I believe early-stage investing is best done solo.” She appreciates how she can

Is Google Fi a better value than Visible in 2025?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-28 16:30:51

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority For years, I’ve considered Visible the best value in the US wireless market, thanks to its low pricing and generous data allotments. Even better, its Plus and Plus Pro plans come fairly close to matching Verizon’s postpaid speeds. Of course, one of its biggest advantages can also be a downside: it’s owned by Verizon. While this is comforting for former Verizon subscribers turned off by constant price increases, not everyone wants to use a brand directly owned

I’ve tested every cheap Samsung phone: Here are the ones you should buy in 2025

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-04 21:32:31

The secret to Samsung’s ultra-cheap success is its commitment to software updates. Like the rest of the Galaxy A series, the Galaxy A16 is set up for a full six years of support, carrying it right into the start of the 2030s. That works out to a per-update cost of around $30, better than the Galaxy A26’s per-update cost of $50 or the Galaxy S24 FE’s price of around $90 for each major patch.

Two hundred years ago this month, Samuel Pepys’s diary was published to great acclaim. Readers of the first edition in 1825 relished Pepys’s ‘honest’ observations and ‘private anecdotes’. While writing his journal in the 1660s, Pepys had worked hard to keep it secret. He knew he was placing his livelihood at risk by recording seditious criticisms of his superiors, along with details of his own bribe-taking and sexually explicit accounts of his ‘amours’.
