ZDNET's key takeaways TCL's 98-inch Class S5 Series TV is one of the most accessibly-priced TVs of its size. Watching movies and TV shows on such a big display is as close to a theatre-like experience as one can get at home. With such a large TV, setting it up can be a struggle, especially if you don't have a big enough console or wall space. $1,498 at Amazon $1,799.99 at Best Buy more buying choices Over at Best Buy, the 98-inch TCL Q6 TV has been discounted by $1,500, essentially knocking o

Childhood leukemia: how a deadly cancer became treatable

news.ycombinator.com Saloni Dattani 2025-09-19 19:12:42

Childhood leukemia: how a deadly cancer became treatable Before the 1970s, most children affected by leukemia would quickly die from it. Now, most children in rich countries are cured. In the past, when I’d hear the words childhood leukemia, I’d picture a young child who suddenly became seriously ill, and whose parents were told their child had only a few years to live. I’d wonder how a child might grasp the idea of limited time, or how painful it must have been to face the possibility of miss

Professional chefs know the value of space in a drawer or on a countertop better than anyone. Stroll through the swinging doors of any restaurant kitchen worth its salt, and you won't find an excess of single-function gadgets collecting dust. Every instrument and piece of cookware serves a purpose, earning the real estate -- however small -- it occupies. That's what makes career chefs the perfect people to ask about all the kitchen tools that don't belong in your kitchen, especially when space

Norbauer Seneca review: a $3,600 luxury keyboard for the keyboard obsessed

theverge.com Nathan Edwards 2025-09-19 19:00:00

Some people can tell great wine from okay wine. They go on wine tastings, take wine tours. They tend to spend more money on wine than most. I am not one of those people. I can tell wine from vinegar if you show me the bottle. I am just a little bit obsessed with keyboards, though.

Is ChatGPT Plus really worth $20 when the free version offers so many premium features?

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET When ChatGPT first launched two years ago, the AI chatbot was met with such high demand that OpenAI introduced a premium plan called ChatGPT Plus. This plan guaranteed access to the chatbot even during blackout periods. The perks also included access to OpenAI's most advanced models, which at the time included GPT-4, making the $20 plan almost a no-brainer for superusers.

Neanderthals Spread Across Asia With Surprising Speed—and Now We Know How

Neanderthals and modern humans split from a common ancestor around 500,000 years ago, with Neanderthals leaving Africa for Europe and Asia long before modern humans joined them hundreds of thousands of years later. There, Neanderthals dispersed as far as Spain and Siberia. Our prehistoric cousins likely first reached Asia around 190,000 to 130,000 years ago, with another substantial migration to Central and Eastern Eurasia likely between 120,000 and 60,000 years ago.
