That’s what you’ll learn at the end of this guide through building a ClickHouse-modeled analytics use case. You’ll learn how to land data in ClickHouse that is

Do Self-Driving Cars Need Windshield Wipers?

Donald Trump is all about propping up big businesses (small businesses, not so much) and cutting regulations. Lately, his administration has decided to dispense with certain long-established regulatory precedents for the sake of making things a little bit easier on the blossoming self-driving car industry. On Thursday, Trump’s Transportation Secretary, Sean P. Duffy, announced that, next year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will be rolling out three new rules designed to “mo

I Played the Lenovo Legion Go 2 Gaming Handheld. It's a Big Upgrade With a Bigger Price

It's been two years since Lenovo released the Legion Go gaming handheld. It was big and heavy, sure, but it also had poor battery life, really loud fans and was saddled with Windows 11. To be fair, it was one of the first of the recent crop of Windows gaming handhelds, and the competition hasn't exactly been exceedingly better. We may be turning a corner, though, with the Legion Go S earlier this year, the upcoming Asus ROG Xbox Ally and now, the Legion Go 2. Expected to arrive in October, with

Google's Pixel Watch 4 vs. Samsung's Galaxy Watch 8: The Spec Showdown

Google's Pixel Watch 4 is pushing the limits with a brighter screen, longer battery life, first-of-its-kind satellite connectivity and an AI-powered health coach. Meanwhile, Samsung's Galaxy Watch 8 leans on its decade of expertise, layering in advanced metrics, such as Antioxidant Index and Vascular Load, while keeping tight integration with the Galaxy ecosystem. As smartwatches (and now smart rings) evolve from nice-to-have phone companions into serious health tools with lifesaving safety fea

7 Best Password Managers (2025), Tested and Reviewed

Even the best password managers are the vegetables of the internet. We know they’re good for us, but most of us are happier snacking on the password equivalent of junk food. For nearly a decade, that’s been “123456” and “password”—the two most commonly used passwords on the web. The problem is, most of us don’t know what makes a good password and aren’t able to remember hundreds of them anyway. The safest (if craziest) way to store your passwords is to memorize them all. (Make sure they are lon

Columbia tries using AI to cool off student tensions

The Download: longevity myths, and sewer-cleaning robots

—Jessica Hamzelou Earlier this week, my editor forwarded me a video of the leaders of Russia and China talking about immortality. “These days at 70 years old you are still a child,” China’s Xi Jinping, 72, was translated as saying. “With the developments of biotechnology, human organs can be continuously transplanted, and people can live younger and younger, and even achieve immortality,” Russia’s Vladimir Putin, also 72, is reported to have replied. In reality, rounds of organ transplantatio

I tested the Pixel 10’s charging with Google’s own 67W brick, and it’s still disappointingly slow

Robert Triggs / Android Authority Google’s Pixel series has, to be blunt, always been pretty slow to charge. Even the Pixel 9 Pro XL’s boost to 37W (about 35W effective) still left the phone taking a sluggish 77 minutes to reach full, while the regular 26W capabilities of the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro left last year’s users waiting about 85 minutes. Nothing has changed for the better with the new Pixel 10 series. In fact, after testing Google’s latest flagships with the company’s new 67W USB-C c

Kirby Air Riders is a cute, chaotic racing game

Kirby is a uniquely wholesome Nintendo character, yet his games often have a quirky mean streak to them. They're all about letting players absorb enemies and take on some wild powers to tear through vibrant stages with reckless abandon. That's especially true with Kirby Air Riders, the long-awaited sequel to the GameCube classic racing game, Kirby Air Ride. Much like the original, it's a fast-paced racing game starring Kirby and friends as they race through visually striking locales – it also ha

Tesla Makes a Huge Move to Appease Regulators

Tesla appears to be bending to the will of regulators. In a visible sign of its shifting posture from daredevil innovation to cautious compliance, Tesla this week relocated its robotaxi safety monitors, employees who supervise the autonomous software’s performance and can take over the vehicle’s operation at any moment, from the passenger seat to the driver’s seat. Tesla’s Robotaxi service represents one of the company’s most ambitious and long-delayed projects. First teased by Chief Executiv

Microsoft Goes Back to BASIC, Open-Sources Bill Gates’ Code

In the era of vibe coding, when even professionals are pawning off their programming work on AI tools, Microsoft is throwing it all the way back to the language that launched a billion devices. On Wednesday, the company announced that it would make the source code for Microsoft BASIC for the 6502 Version 1.1 publicly available and open-source. The code is now uploaded to GitHub under an MIT license (with a cheeky commit time stamp of “48 years ago”). Microsoft called the code—written by the com

How to Stream the 2025 MTV VMAs Without Cable

It's time for the annual MTV Video Music Awards, letting fans cast votes for their favorite nominees in categories like Best Collaboration, Best New Artist, Best Choreography and Video of the Year. And in recent years, the introduction of social categories has opened the gate for internet hitters to snag an award. Hosted by L.L. Cool J, the star-studded event features Brittany Snow, Ciara, Busta Rhymes, Sabrina Carpenter, Ricky Martin and KPop Demon Hunters' stars Audrey Nuna, EJAE and Rei Ami

All the Top New Gadgets We Saw at IFA Berlin 2025

Every September, hundreds of thousands of visitors descend upon Berlin for IFA, one of the largest trade tech conferences in Europe. IFA heralds the unofficial start of Techtember, when companies launch products in anticipation of the holiday shopping season. For over 100 years, companies, financiers, and journalists have crossed the Spree and eaten cold liver sausage for breakfast, just to check out the latest innovations in consumer electronics. This year, those attendees include me and Gear

The 29 Best Energy Drinks, Tested and Reviewed (2025)

Buying energy drinks in public is embarrassing. Every time I see someone scanning the cooler for their favorite flavor of Monster or Ghost, I guess which accompanying vape flavor they've picked out, and I know others are making the same assumption about me when I’m scoring a can of Celsius to beat back a hangover or get lifted before a 10-hour bartending shift. The good news is that it’s easier than ever to purchase your favorite cans from Amazon, and the great news is that you don’t need to pu

Your robot is about to get its own robot

This week on The Vergecast, we’re talking about our favorite tech (so far!) from the huge trade show that’s going on right now in Berlin. Jen joins Vee and I to discuss some of the biggest trends, starting with the wild ways that robot vacuums are learnings to climb stairs. Then we take a deep dive into the major upgrades to the Philips Hue lineup, where a decade’s worth of light bulbs are getting upgraded with motion sensing abilities, as long as you buy a new hub to power it all. Then Lauren

Putin says organ transplants could grant immortality. Not quite.

First, back to Putin’s proposal: the idea of continually replacing aged organs to stay young. It’s a simplistic way to think about aging. After all, aging is so complicated that researchers can’t agree on what causes it, why it occurs, or even how to define it, let alone “treat” it. Having said that, there may be some merit to the idea of repairing worn-out body parts with biological or synthetic replacements. Replacement therapies—including bioengineered organs—are being developed by multiple

This YouTube TV discount for existing subscribers is too good to miss

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube TV is getting a temporary $33 discount for existing users. This brings the cost down to $49.99 a month. You only get the discounted price for two months, but a $66 benefit is better than none. If you’ve switched over from a traditional cable TV, you probably know about virtual providers like YouTube TV, DirecTV, or Hulu. However, if you haven’t and want to explore cutting ties with a traditional TV operator, YouTube TV could be one of the more ben

Another Pixel, another 911 failure: Pixel 10 users say emergency calls sound like screeches

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Pixel 10 series users report that they cannot reliably make 911 calls. The 911 call connects but only delivers garbled, incomprehensible audio, described as “shrill electronic screeches.” Google’s Pixel series has had a long history of not connecting 911 calls. This bug is technically different, but the end result is the same. Google’s Pixel lineup has an unfortunate history of being unable to make 911 calls, a statement that doesn’t incite confidence

The first Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 phones could have ridiculously big batteries

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A new Xiaomi 16 series leak suggests major battery upgrades across the board. This varies from 7,000mAh for the compact Xiaomi 16 all the way to 7,500mAh for the purported Xiaomi 16 Pro Max. These will be the first phones with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (or Gen 2) processors. Xiaomi will be the first Android brand to offer phones with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (or Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2) processor. However, it looks like all three of these upcoming

5 reasons I’d buy the Galaxy Tab S11 over the S11 Ultra

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority It’s that time of the year when Samsung updates its premium tablet lineup alongside launching a new FE phone. The Galaxy Tab S11 series is out now, but this time it looks a little different. There’s no Plus or Pro model to speak of — just the standard Galaxy Tab S11 and its uber-packed, equally uber-expensive Ultra sibling. The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra does give you a few extras besides that massive screen, but if you ask me, I’d stick with the standard model. He

Everyone’s in awe of ‘tri-fold’ phones, and now projectors are all ‘yeah, us, too’

Stephen Schenck / Android Authority TL;DR The Aurzen ZIP projector has a Z-shaped folding design that collapses to just one inch thick. A 5,000 mAh battery delivers 90 minutes of operation on a charge. In addition to the folding design letting you easily direct the ZIP’s output, you can turn it on its side for screen-mirroring portrait mode. Listen, foldables are cool — who doesn’t love big things that transform into smaller things — but they’re also becoming a little been-there-done-that as

OpenAI is reportedly producing its own AI chips starting next year

OpenAI is gearing up to start the mass production of its own AI chips next year to be able to provide the massive computing power its users need and to lessen its reliance on NVIDIA, according to the Financial Times. The company reportedly designed the custom AI chip with US semiconductor maker Broadcom, whose CEO recently announced that it has a new client that put in a whopping $10 billion in orders. It didn't name the client, but the Times' sources confirmed that it was OpenAI, which apparent

Over the past year, we've seen no shortage of impressive new Windows laptops, from thin and light Copilot+ PCs like Microsoft's Surface Laptop to powerful business devices like HP's EliteBook X G1a.

I tried smart glasses with a built-in display, and they made my Meta Ray-Bans feel outdated

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways The Rokid Glasses are launching through Kickstarter, with a retail price of $599. They feature built-in displays that project textual information, such as a teleprompter, AI responses, and more. The 12MP camera sensor leaves something to be desired, and a stable internet connection is required for most functions to work. Lately, I've been thinking a lot about Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's quote about b

SAP splashes €20B on Euro sovereign cloud push

SAP says it will pump €20 billion into expanding sovereign cloud infrastructure in Europe over the next ten years, pitching itself as a secure and compliant alternative to American cloud giants. The Germany-based enterprise software biz is looking to provide sovereign infrastructure for the public sector and regulated environments, said Thomas Saueressig, board member for customer services and delivery.

The Diffusion Dilemma

On the sun-baked plains of the American Midwest in 1892, a revolution was loudly sputtering to life: the tractor, an engine which signaled the end of the era of animal power and the beginning of the age of machine power. This machine was not just a piece of equipment; the tractor was a manifestation of an exponential shift in energy density, from animal metabolism to coal burning, empowered by discoveries in thermodynamics. But diffusion of the tractor, screeching across the horizon, took much l

Waymo Says You’re Not Getting Its Footage Without a Warrant

Waymo is quietly drawing new boundaries over how authorities access data from its autonomous vehicles. The company said it will reject any requests that are not backed by a legal request such as a warrant or court order. The move is one of several signaling a growing tension between innovation, privacy, and law enforcement power. A new privacy guardrail Waymo co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana recently emphasized that the company will challenge, limit, or reject robotaxi footage requests from law enforc
