No Kings, Just Water

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2026-03-15 00:10:02

It was a lovely day for a protest until the cops decided to riot. Millions took to the streets on Saturday for No Kings Day, nationwide protests in cities big and small, timed to provide counter-programming for Donald Trump’s own military parade in Washington D.C.—an embarrassing spectacle that coincided with the president’s 79th birthday. Los Angeles, the second largest city in the country, had its own No Kings protest downtown that saw tens of thousands turn out. And it was incredible to witn

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-03-17 04:00:00

James Bricknell/CNET The most important part of any thermometer testing is accuracy. We weight this criteria most heavily when compiling entries to the best list, and it is the most scientific of the tests. We use a medical-grade thermometer as our baseline for accuracy and test the meat probe variance to that temperature. Ice water testing Testing the accuracy of a thermometer usually involves a cup, some ice cubes, and water. Due to the nature of water it can be a liquid and a solid at 32F

As President Donald Trump kicked off a birthday military parade on the streets of Washington, DC, what’s estimated as roughly 2,000 events were held across the US and beyond — protesting Trump and Elon Musk’s evisceration of government services, an unprecedented crackdown by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and countless other actions from the administration in its first five months. Held under the title “No Kings” (with, as you’ll see, one conspicuous exception), they’re the latest in

As mentioned earlier in this article, there are quite a variety of contaminants worth removing from your tap water. The team here at our lab settled on three primary tests to benchmark the efficacy of these filters: TDS, pH and chlorine. Before we began the actual testing process, each pitcher was removed from the packaging, cleaned and then prepared per the manufacturer's instructions. This is very important, as most of these filters utilize activated carbon filtration, which will deposit sedim

Another one for the graveyard: Google to kill Instant Apps in December

Apps used to be the measure of a mobile platform's worth, with Apple and Google dueling over who could list the most items in their respective stores.

Trump’s protest threats raise surveillance alarms around his military parade

theverge.com Lauren Feiner 2026-03-20 06:50:24

President Donald Trump’s warning that protesters of Saturday’s US military parade in Washington, DC, will be met with “very heavy force” threatens to chill speech and underscores the need for protesters to take precautions around digital surveillance, privacy advocates tell The Verge. In remarks from the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump did not distinguish between peaceful and non-peaceful protesters. “For those people who want to protest, they’re going to be met with very big force,” Trump said.

How to Protest Safely in the Age of Surveillance

wired.com Andy Greenberg 2026-03-21 01:29:20

If you insist on using biometric unlocking methods to have faster access to your devices, keep in mind that some phones have an emergency function to disable these types of locks. Hold the wake button and one of the volume buttons simultaneously on an iPhone, for instance, and it will lock itself and require a passcode to unlock rather than FaceID or TouchID, even if they’re enabled. Most devices also let you take photos or record video without unlocking them first, a good way to keep your phone

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing out a new effect for the Translate button in Google Lens. The Translate button has a bluish-purple ring that will pulsate when there’s text to translate. The change appears in the latest beta of the Google app. Google often likes to tinker with the UI of its products. So you may occasionally see something like a button moved to a different location, a new tab in a Google app, and so on. However, these tweaks don’t usually go against
