gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-01-16 16:45:21

The largest black hole ever detected is 36 billion times the mass of our Sun. It exists near the upper limit predicted by our cosmological models, leaving astronomers with burning questions surrounding the relationship between black holes and their galaxy hosts. In a paper published August 7 in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, researchers announced the discovery of a black hole inside a supermassive galaxy 5 billion light-years from Earth, dubbed the Cosmic Horseshoe.

The War for the Web Has Begun

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-01-16 16:54:30

A high-stakes war has just broken out over the future of the internet. In one corner is Cloudflare, a giant of web infrastructure that acts as a gatekeeper for a huge portion of online traffic. In the other is Perplexity, a darling of the AI world, a search engine threatening to upend Google’s dominance. The accusation is explosive: Cloudflare claims Perplexity is a bad actor, a rogue bot that ignores the internet’s oldest rules to secretly scrape data from websites that have explicitly told it

You can apparently buy Google’s official Pixel Tablet stylus that never launched

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-16 21:15:33

TL;DR Last year, Google canceled its plans for the Pixel Tablet 2, leaving the fate of the company’s Pixel stylus unclear. This summer, that stylus has started popping up at online retailers, now branded as the Pixel Tablet Pen. The pen works fine with the existing Pixel Tablet, but not all its features appear fully implemented. Google’s approach right now towards Android on screens larger than our phones is confusing, to put it mildly. On one hand, we’ve got Android’s increasingly impressive

Galaxy S26 Ultra leak hints at a serious upgrade for power users

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-16 21:16:44

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A new leak claims the Galaxy S26 Ultra will use LPDDR5X RAM running at 10.7 Gbps. This would be around 11.5% faster than the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s 9.6 Gbps RAM. The speed matches Micron’s latest LPDDR5X chip, which is up to 20% more power-efficient than its predecessor. A new leak suggests Samsung’s next Ultra flagship could get a boost to both performance and battery life. If accurate, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will ship with cutting-edge LPDDR5X RAM that not o
