Repaste Your MacBook (But Don't)

You should repaste your MacBook (but don't) My favorite memory of my M1 Pro MacBook Pro was the whole sensation of “holy crap, you never hear the fans in this thing”, which was very novel in 2021. Four years later, this MacBook Pro is still a delight. It’s the longest I’ve ever owned a laptop, and while I’d love to pick up the new M4 goodness, this dang thing still seems to just shrug at basically anything I throw at it. Video editing, code compiling, CAD models, the works. (My desire to updat

Conspiracy theorists unaware their beliefs are on the fringe

Overconfidence is a hallmark trait of people who believe in conspiracies, and they also significantly overestimate how much others agree with them, Cornell psychology researchers have found. The study indicates that belief in conspiracies may be less about a person’s needs and motivations and more about their failure to recognize that they might be wrong. Conspiracy believers not only consistently overestimated their performance on numeracy and perception tests, revealing they tend to be less a

Upgrading an M4 Pro Mac mini's storage for half the price

A few months ago, I upgraded my M4 Mac mini from 1 to 2 TB of internal storage, using a then-$269 DIY upgrade kit from ExpandMacMini. At the time, there was no option for upgrading the M4 Pro Mac mini, despite it also using a user-replaceable, socketed storage drive. But the folks at M4-SSD reached out and asked if I'd be willing to test out one of their new M4 Pro upgrades, in this case, upgrading the mini I use at the studio for editing from a stock 512 GB SSD to 4 TB. I said yes, and here

I'm Done with Social Media

I started last year with one clear goal: 2024 was going to be the year that I finally did social media. Regular posting, a content calendar, a strategy, a plan for growth — all of that. And yet I ended the year pretty certain that I never wanted to open those apps again, let alone post my photos and words to them. How? My main motivation for wanting to conquer my long-held ambivalence about posting was because I had a book coming out in April 2024. I was very anxious about this, in part because

Now That Intel Is Cooked, Apple Doesn’t Need to Release New MacBooks Every Year

Covering tech news, you sometimes feel like the million-mile-per-hour footrace of Silicon Valley will inevitably result in a Wile E. Coyote-style calamity. There’s a part of me that craves a little more sincerity and willingness for self-reflection. When we actually receive it, the result is a little more cringe-worthy. Intel’s new boss, Lip-Bu Tan, reportedly told staff the company was—effectively—cooked. That doesn’t sound great, but for one of Intel’s once-biggest partners, Apple, it may be a

Let’s Talk About the Ending, and End Credits, of ‘Superman’

It feels almost offensive to immediately look past Superman now that the film is in theaters, but you kind of have to. After waiting several years to see what James Gunn had in store for this official kickoff to this brand-new, rebooted DC Universe, now we know. But, in surprising fashion, Gunn’s revelations aren’t shoved into end credits scenes like so many other comic book movies before. His biggest teases are in the movie itself, with the two end credits scenes serving a different purpose. Le

Behold the Closest Images of the Sun Ever Taken

On Christmas Eve of last year, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe made spaceflight history, flying by the Sun at a record-setting distance of just 3.8 million miles (6.12 million kilometers) from the solar surface. During its flyby, Parker snapped some amazing close-up images of the Sun, which NASA finally released to the public yesterday. The images, captured by the probe’s Wide-Field Imager for Solar Probe, or WISPR, present an extraordinary view of the Sun’s corona, buffeted by raging solar winds. T

20 Kitchen Tools that Professional Chefs Say Are Totally Useless

The only thing worse than wasting precious kitchen counter or cupboard space is wasting money on top of it. Nobody knows this better than professional chefs, which is why I asked several top culinary pros about the kitchen tools to skip and what to use instead. Instead of giving in to gimmicks, it's smarter to build your kitchen around dependable, multifunctional gear. We asked chefs and kitchen pros which gadgets they consider totally unnecessary -- and which tools actually pull their weight a

RFK Jr. may be about to demolish preventive health panel, health groups fear

“Worrying” With the latest cancellation, experts fear the USPSTF is next. "This is very worrying, because if past is prologue, it may suggest that they are preparing to eliminate or emasculate the committee,” Peter Lurie, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, told The New York Times. Such concerns were first raised after a June 27 US Supreme Court ruling that upheld the provision in the Affordable Care Act that requires health plans to cover USPSTF A- and B-grade

Bitcoin surpasses $118K, its second all-time high, in less than 24 hours

Bitcoin achieved a new all-time high of $118,900 on Friday after exceeding its previous record, $113,822, on Thursday. At the time of this writing, Bitcoin’s price stands at around $117,400. This is a significant milestone for Bitcoin, as it highlights its resurgence, now higher than its low of around $76,000 in early April. It dropped to nearly $49,000 last August.

Android’s first Canary release brings a major upgrade to split-screen multitasking

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR A new 90/10 split-screen ratio is now available in the latest Android Canary release, allowing for more flexible multitasking on tall displays.
