If you or a loved one is prepping for college, it's easy to knock out the apparent dorm room essentials: twin XL sheets, a mini fridge, a laptop, and more. What's less likely to be obvious is the tech items you buy that will level up a dorm room from basic to smart.

Software Development at 800 Words Per Minute Jul 24, 2025, 12:19 AM (updated Jul 28, 2025, 10:18 PM ) Imagine reading code not by looking at the screen, but by listening to interface elements, variables, language constructs and operators read at 800 words per minute (WPM) - over 5 times faster than normal speech.

The X-37B, the US Space Force's secretive space plane, will soon take flight again. On Monday, the Space Force announced that it will fly the small, Space Shuttle-shaped vehicle on the program's eighth mission next month. The launch of the vehicle, on a Falcon 9 rocket, is scheduled to occur no earlier than August 21 from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. There are two active X-37Bs in the Space Force fleet, both built by Boeing. The first made its debut flight in April 2010. Since then, the tw

Mario Kart World and other Switch 2 games are 10 percent off

I wasn’t expecting to see any deals on Switch 2 games for a while. Even though the console is currently much easier to find in stock, game discounts — especially ones on first-party Nintendo launch games — aren’t the norm. However, you can get 10 percent off on the likes of Mario Kart World, and the Switch 2 editions of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild.
