Fans of ratings, rejoice! Netflix has introduced a new way for you to display your affection for a show: a double thumbs up. This is the first change of the rating system since 2017, when the company moved from a star system (ergo, one to five), to the like or dislike model (thumbs up and thumbs down) that we’re all familiar with. Now, Netflix is shaking this up again with... Read more ›

Transitioning from traditional, gas-powered vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs) is widely considered one of the most important goals to reduce carbon emissions. In 2020, internal combustion engine powered vehicles were responsible for about one-fifth of Europe’s carbon emissions.

Apple has long had a strange relationship with gaming. In many respects, the company has happily let competitors like Sony and Microsoft gobble up the lion’s share of the market. Yet, over the past few years, Apple has started to address this gap in its offering. The biggest move Apple made in this space was, of course, Apple Arcade, its mobile gaming subscription. But there are growing signs that the... Read more ›

In the past, when we thought about the homes of the future, our wildest fantasies often conjured images of a Jetsons-style smart home with a garage for our hover cars, conveyor belt walkways, robotic maids, and a kitchen that prepares full five-course meals with the click of a few buttons. Today, while futuristic gadgets will still have a place, the focus for the homes of the future is on sustainability.... Read more ›

“Technology from the past comes to save the future from itself.” That’s how Graydon Hoare, the creator of Rust, describes what he wants to achieve. That’s one of the key hallmarks of Rust: using technologies that are well-known to academia but rarely implemented in contemporary programming languages. Technologies that are old, reliable, and sometimes forgotten. But which, above all, work extremely well. These technologies are used mainly for one thing:... Read more ›
