Longhorn – A Kubernetes-Native Filesystem

Longhorn – a Kubernetes-native filesystem The other day, I took a look at Longhorn again. I briefly looked at it earlier, as a way to get volumes that are writeable from more than one node. I tossed it away then, because I mistook it for nothing more than a glorified NFS server. I was quite wrong. At the time of writing, I already know I’m going to make fundamental changes, I will not run with a 2-node cluster permanently, because the latency I have isn’t necessarily a good idea. However, long

Google Says the Open Web Is Now in "Rapid Decline"

In a major change in tune, Google has admitted that the "open web is already in rapid decline" — despite being adamant for months that the "web is thriving." As first spotted by The Verge, the tech giant attempted to dissuade regulators from breaking up its advertising tech business, arguing that doing so would harm publishers who rely on advertising revenue. Google argued that splitting up its ad business would "only accelerate" the open web's disintegration ahead of an antitrust trial in a D

Apple is slowly morphing AirPods into an always-on wearable

The AirPods Pro 3 Apple introduced at the iPhone 17 event yesterday have better active noise cancellation and foam-filled ear tips, but their most important new feature is a subtle one: Apple came up with even more reasons for you to never take them out. Wearing headphones while you're talking to someone or interacting in public was at one point a social faux pas, but the ubiquity of AirPods and new features Apple has added have started to change that. The AirPods Pro's Conversation Awareness f

The best VPN deals: Get up to 87 percent off ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN, Surfshark and others

You can save a lot of money with a virtual private network (VPN), whether you're changing virtual locations to get more content out of one streaming service or searching around the world for discounts in online stores. That said, while it's worth investing some cash in a VPN, you never want to pay too much when the goal is to save money. VPN providers frequently sharp massive discounts to anyone willing to sign up for one or two years at a time. This is a win-in — they boost their subscriber nu

Tarsnap is cozy

I have been aware of tarsnap for a long time, but only recently did I actually get around to using it for anything, as a result of my big personal digital resiliency audit for 2025. For those of you not in the know, tarsnap is “online backups for the truly paranoid”, and tarsnap the command-line program is the client-side tool you invoke to actually zip up and push your archives into the vault. Its creator, Dr. Colin Percival, is a really smart and interesting dude for a whole bunch of reasons.

A 36-Year-Old Woman Developed an Insatiable Craving for Bleach. Scientists Now Know Why

We all have our unusual food preferences, but it’s unlikely any are quite as weird as the craving experienced by a 36-year-old woman featured in a recent case report. Her doctors described how the woman developed a sudden hunger for bleach—a craving likely triggered by an autoimmune disorder. Doctors in Michigan detailed the strange tale in a paper published last month in the journal Case Reports in Psychiatry. The woman had developed a severe bout of anemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency, no

Top Democrat Calls for Congressional Probe Into Ties Between Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Thiel

The Jeffrey Epstein scandal continues to plague the Trump administration, and on Wednesday, a prominent Democratic senator called for Congress to investigate the financial ties between the dead sex criminal and a host of financial organizations and people, including tech billionaire Peter Thiel. Much of the debate about the “Epstein files” has centered around what records the Justice Department may have on his illicit sex crimes but, according to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Oregon), the more important fi

NASA Found Signs of Ancient Alien Life on Mars. Here's How Excited You Should Be

NASA released a significant update from the Perseverance Mars rover on Wednesday, focusing on a particularly juicy tidbit for those watching from home: A small rock sample called Sapphire Canyon showed signs of potential biosignatures, or ancient alien life that may have once grown on Mars. That's possible because of the unique location where Perseverance located the sample in July 2024. It came from a rock named Cheyava Falls. This particular rock is in Jezero Crater, home to an ancient dry ri

Surprise! High Blood Pressure Alerts Are Coming to Your Existing Apple Watch Soon

Turns out the biggest new Apple Watch health features don't require new hardware. One of the standout moments at Apple's September iPhone event was the announcement of two new health features on the Apple Watch: hypertension notifications and a new sleep score. Hypertension notifications will alert Apple Watch owners of potential signs of high blood pressure, a condition that goes undiagnosed in millions of people. Sleep Score, meanwhile, grades the quality of your rest on a 0–100 scale. Becaus

Android 16 QPR1’s source code is nowhere to be found, but Google swears it’s coming

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google has delayed releasing the source code for Android 16 QPR1, worrying custom ROM developers who rely on timely AOSP (Android Open Source Project) updates. While Google typically publishes source code within 48 hours of a new release, it has been a week, breaking a long-standing precedent for the community. Google confirmed the code is coming “in the coming weeks,” but the situation has reignited concerns about the company’s commitment to open-sour

The best battery life iPhone 17 Pro models are not sold in every country

At Apple’s event yesterday, battery life was one of the big marketing points for the iPhone 17 Pro series. However, it turns out that the best battery life models of the Pro and Pro Max are not actually available to buy worldwide. In the United States, Apple quotes 30 hours streaming video playback for iPhone 17 Pro and 35 hours for iPhone 17 Pro Max. But in the UK, Europe, and elsewhere, the tech specs list battery life of 28 hours and 33 hours respectively, two hours less than their US model

Seven iPhone Air details you might’ve missed during yesterday’s keynote

Yesterday, Apple unveiled its brand new ultra-thin iPhone Air.

iPhone 17 has long-awaited fix for OLED screen flickering problem

Have you ever heard of PWM (pulse width modulation)? Even if you haven’t, this screen flickering issue still might impact you. But iPhone 17 looks like it will bring a long-awaited PWM fix. PWM can be disabled on iPhone 17 models I had never heard the term PWM before today, but as I learned by visiting the ‘PWM Sensitive’ subreddit—which has 16k weekly visitors—it’s a fairly widespread issue, and has been for years. Pulse width modulation is a tactic used by smartphones when brightness is red

Apple acknowledges iPhone Camera Control is overly complicated with iOS 26 change

I absolutely love the Camera Control on my iPhone — just not in its default state. With the final version of iOS 26, Apple is taking the first step toward pulling back the overly complex Camera Control with one simple change. Camera Control is a highly requested feature iPhone users have wanted physical camera buttons since at least the iPhone 4 in 2010. That’s why Apple added the ability to use the volume buttons to snap photos in the Camera app way back then. More recently, Apple brought th

Reddit, Yahoo, Medium and more are adopting a new licensing standard to get compensated for AI scraping

With web publishers in crisis, a new open standard lets them set the ground rules for AI scrapers. (Or, at least it will try.) The new Really Simple Licensing (RSL) standard creates terms that participants expect AI companies to abide by. Although enforcement is an open question, it can't hurt that some heavy hitters back it. Among others, the list includes Reddit, Yahoo (Engadget's parent company), Medium and People Inc. RSL adds licensing terms to the robots.txt protocol, the simple file that

A closer look at the AirPods Pro 3: ANC, Live Translation and heart-rate tracking

The AirPods Pro 3 are a big upgrade over the AirPods Pro 2. Even though Apple has continuously added new features to those earbuds over the last three years, it hasn’t changed the design or shape of the earbuds since the first model arrived in 2019. With the AirPods Pro 3, you might not notice those tweaks until you remove the new ear tips, and the most impactful upgrades are all on the inside. After my brief hands-on immediately following the iPhone 17 launch yesterday, I’ve since spent more ti
