Best Gaming Chair for 2025

Why I like it The Titan Evo builds on a top-rated design with smart, user-friendly upgrades.

Tesla's new Model S and X vehicles are now available in the US

Tesla has officially launched new versions of the Model S and the Model X in the US. As Electrek notes, however, the upgrades may not be quite as big or compelling as one could hope when the vehicles now cost $5,000 more. The automaker has posted a list of updates for the vehicles on X, including a new Frost Blue paint color option and a range of up to 410 miles for the Model S Long Range version, which is Tesla's longest range yet.

Stellar Blade becomes Sony's most successful PC port in under 24 hours

In brief: Many of the PC ports that Sony published for formerly PlayStation 5-exclusive games struggled to gain traction on Steam, and some suffered from performance issues. Shift Up Corporation's Stellar Blade seems to have easily avoided both pitfalls, becoming an immediate hit with Steam users. Barely a day after Stellar Blade launched on Steam and the Epic Games Store, the hack-and-slash action game has blown past all other late PC ports from PlayStation Publishing LLC, Sony's PC conversion

I live between Android, Windows, iPhone, and Mac, and it’s pure chaos

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Sending a file to a laptop should be simple in 2025, right? Apparently not for me, because my tech setup is split between Apple, Google, and Microsoft. It’s a frustrating multi-step process to do most things. Message my kids? Nope. Drop a file from my phone to my computer? Ya right. These are the kinds of things that happen when you live in a fragmented tech world. I come from an Android and Windows background. I’m a huge fan of Android and bought every singl

Zero-Shot Forecasting: Our Search for a Time-Series Foundation Model

The allure is obvious: can we build a single, reusable forecasting model that works across a variety of datasets and domains, instead of painstakingl

The Missing Manual for Signals: State Management for Python Developers

A practical guide to reactive state management in Python Introduction I maintain reaktiv. When I demo it to Python teams, I get the same response: "Why do I need this? I can just call functions when things change." Fair question. Python has excellent patterns for coordinating state changes. You can trigger updates manually, use the observer pattern, or set up event systems. Most Python applications handle state coordination just fine. But some don't. If you're building systems where state c

Trump administration throws wrench into $42 billion broadband rollout

The big picture: In a sudden policy shift, the Trump administration has thrown a wrench into the nation's largest broadband expansion effort, forcing states to overhaul plans to distribute $42 billion in federal funding aimed at closing the digital divide. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick has put the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program on pause, unveiling sweeping new rules last week that require states to rethink how they allocate grants to Internet service providers.

Google Home’s latest bug: Setting an alarm for this time is nearly impossible

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A recent Google Home bug prevents smart speakers and displays from setting alarms for 12:30am. Google Assistant-equipped Home devices like the Nest Hub and the Nest Audio recognize standard alarm command phrasing, like “Okay Google, set an alarm for twelve thirty am,” but they set the alarm for 12:30 p.m. instead. Saying “zero zero thirty” aloud appears to be the only working time input for setting an alarm for 12.30am. Google Home is no stranger to more

I replaced my living room TV with this 4K laser projector for a month - and didn't regret it

ZDNET's key takeaways Valerion's VisionMaster Pro 2 retails for $2,999. This premium-built laser TV projects up to a 300-inch screen. It's still not ideal for brightly lit rooms (like all projectors). $2,999 at Amazon I chose the word "glorious" in the headline for this review because that word sprang to mind when I first laid eyes on the VisionMaster Pro 2 projector from Valerion -- and that was before I even plugged it in.
