In recent weeks, the secretive Chinese space program has reported some significant milestones in developing its program to land astronauts on the lunar surface by the year 2030.

AWS has introduced new pricing for Kiro, its AI-driven coding tool, but unlike the pricing originally announced, the latest plans are "a wallet-wrecking tragedy," according to many of its users.

The flash projects the image on the slide through the lens and onto the object. This action is triggered by a built-in sensor that recognises flashes from nearby cameras. That way, the projection can automatically be synchronised with the moment of exposure of any nearby camera using a flash. The Image Fulgurator is housed in a regular single reflex camera case since most of the camera’s elements were re-used for the construction of the Image Fulgurator.

But while the character has been adapted multiple times over the course of the MCU—first more controversially with Ben Kingsley’s Trevor Slattery character in Iron Man 3, then as Tony Leung’s Xu Wenwu in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings—and earned himself a few action figures from Hasbro inspired by those appearances along the way, the toymaker has yet to bring a comics version of the v

Maria Diaz/ZDNET With the adoption of remote and hybrid working, having a reliable internet connection at home is imperative -- not just for one device, but for several. If you have a family, maybe even dozens. So what's better, one single access point, or a mesh network spread about the home? The answer depends on how your home and office are set up and what kind of connection you need. Wi-Fi routers are so good these days that a single access point is often the most straightforward solution.
