No One Knows What ‘Terminally Online’ Means Anymore

wired.com Adam Bumas 2025-09-20 02:07:04

In the days following the shooting of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, there’s been a scramble to understand the politics of the situation. The effort to ascribe a specific political affiliation and motive to 22-year-old suspect Tyler Robinson—with President Donald Trump and his followers blaming “the radical left”—has led to serious investigation and scrutiny being applied to all the publicly available details of his life before, during, and after his alleged crime.

Russia’s Space Chief Touts ‘Rapid’ Development of Starlink Rival

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-09-20 07:00:47

With more than 6 million active users, SpaceX’s Starlink has become the world’s leading provider of high-speed satellite internet. That prominence has sparked some rivalry, and not least with other world powers—including Russia. In a televised interview on Wednesday, the head of Russia’s Roscosmos space agency said it is pushing full steam ahead on an alternative to Starlink, Reuters reported. Dmitry Bakanov said that Roscosmos has partnered with Bureau 1440, a Russian aerospace company, to dev

Linking to text fragments with a bookmarklet One of my favourite features added to web browsers in the last few years is text fragments. Text fragments allow you to link directly to specific text on a web page, and some browsers will highlight the linked text – for example, by scrolling to it, or adding a coloured highlight. This is useful if I’m linking to a long page that doesn’t have linkable headings – I want it to be easy for readers to find the part of the page I was looking for. Here’s

Google Tasks may finally add this critical time-management feature (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-20 23:26:50

Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR We’ve spotted that Google Tasks looks to be testing deadline support. Deadlines would only be an option to add when editing a task, rather than when it’s created. The test version does not allow you to specify a deadline time and does not display the due date in the main list view. Google Tasks has always been a bare-bones tool. For some, that’s part of the appeal, but its stripped-down approach often leaves power users wanting more. The lack of sharing,

My Favorite iOS 26 Feature Can Block Spam Calls. Here's How It Works

Apple released iOS 26 on Monday, a few months after the company announced it at the June Worldwide Developers Conference. The update includes a Liquid Glass redesign, new ringtones and lots of hidden features for your iPhone. It also has a new call screening feature that lets you stop spam calls from bothering you. Call screening isn't an Apple Intelligence feature, so any iOS 26-compatible iPhone, like the iPhone 14 Pro, can use it. I enabled the feature early in the beta process, and my iPhon
