We did already know that Game of Thrones spin-offs A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and House of the Dragon season three would arrive in 2026.

Qualcomm’s next Elite processor could have a ridiculously confusing name

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has claimed that the next Snapdragon 8 Elite chip could be called the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. This is a major departure from the expected Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 or 8 Elite Gen 2 names. We’re guessing this is because Qualcomm is readying an apparent Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip as well.

SpaceX Just Sent the ISS a New Way to Stay in Orbit

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-10-25 20:05:29

The International Space Station (ISS) has been in orbit for over 26 years, housing astronauts at an altitude of 250 miles (400 kilometers) above Earth. But even at that distance, the space station can’t escape the drag of Earth’s atmosphere as oxygen molecules and other gases collide with it, causing it to lose altitude over time. For the ISS to retain its status in orbit, NASA and its partners perform the occasional reboost maneuver. This is typically done using the space station’s own thruste

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Leaks suggest Qualcomm is preparing two new top-tier SoCs: the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 (SM8850) and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (SM8845). The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is said to feature Qualcomm’s custom Oryon CPU cores and share the same TSMC process as the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Curiously, a Snapdragon 8s Gen 5 isn’t expected anytime soon.
