zdnet.com Adrian Kingsley-Hughes 2025-09-15 12:30:27

We're fortunate to live in an age when cellphone and Wi-Fi coverage is incredible, but it can still let you down. For those times, satellite phones are a true game-changer for anyone beyond the reach of traditional mobile networks or during emergencies or natural disasters.

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-09-15 10:50:43

There are plenty of constants in popular culture, and Batman is near the top of the list.

Goyer and Jonathan Nolan released on June 15, 2005, and marked h

Nintendo Has Something to Say if Your Switch 2 Battery Keeps Running Low

Those making gaming handhelds need to execute a complicated juggling act between how powerful they are and how long you can use them without a charge. With a new screen and more powerful processor, players plugging away on the Switch 2 are finding it hard to strike the right balance. Nintendo claims users should be able to get between 2 and 6 hours of playtime from its 5,220mAh battery.

It turns out, however, that bats also hold their own when it comes to lifespan, with some species living up to 25 years—equivalent to 180 human years—and they tend to do it cancer-free.

In recent months, a new class of agents has arrived on the scene: ones built using large language models. Any action that can be captured by text—from playing a video game using written commands to running a social media account—is potentially within the purview of this type of system.

Two years later, I think we’re starting to see what those are. One growing segment that could be a big win for sodium-ion: electric micromobility vehicles, like scooters and three-wheelers.
