“Please download an update” pops up on most people’s computers regularly, but many worry about doing just that in case their computer doesn’t work as well afterward. Computer users install software updates to improve the performance and security of their computers. However, slowdowns can happen. There are several reasons why.

If you love commemorating historic dates, I’ve got one for you: January 4, 2022. That, friends, is the day old BlackBerry finally died. It’s been a long fall for the company. For a while, BlackBerry was… well, I don’t know about cool, but it was popular. More than that, it defined a particular moment in our collective memory. This was the start of the mobile era, a time when having... Read more ›

On December 19 1972, astronauts Eugene Cernan, Harrison Schmitt, and Ronald Evans splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean, ending the Apollo 17 lunar mission. They were the last people to travel beyond low-Earth orbit – typically defined as less than 1,000km above the Earth’s surface. Some 49 years later, we are approaching the launch of NASA’s Artemis 1 lunar mission. Artemis is the latest in a long series of... Read more ›

Facebook‘s basic terms of service have more than 4,200 words, and Twitter’s basic terms of service have more than 3,000 words. It would take you days to go through them if you REALLY want to understand what these companies stipulate when you agree to use their products. Pages-long terms of service agreements have been a pain in the neck for ages, but a new bill introduced in the US could... Read more ›

Thanks to the likes of Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant, voice tech has seen a huge rise in the past decade. But the voice assistant industry has yet to reach its full potential and it can become an integral part of many applications we use every day. In the next few years, we will see the advent of new markets, applications, and platforms for voice assistants that will go beyond... Read more ›

Dear *insert website name,* Please stop asking me to your mobile app. I don’t want want to use it. I don’t care if you think your app is the bees-knees. If I wanted to use your app, I’d go to the app store and download said app. But I didn’t do that. Instead, I’m writing this letter to make my stance clear: I prefer to access your service within the... Read more ›

Numerous reputable news sites and media personalities have spent the past couple of weeks alleging that the current year is “2022.” How can they be so sure? Here at Neural we believe in science. And the presence of evidence isn’t necessarily evidence that we’re present. That’s why we’re not willing to concede that it’s 2022 yet. What if the world really did end on 21 December 2012? The fact that... Read more ›

A viral game that’s inspired copious clones has exposed the complexities of copyrighting apps — and the shamelessness of greedy imitators. Wordle has attracted more than 2 million daily players since its launch in November. The puzzles challenge you to guess a five-letter word, but you can only play one of them a day — an appealing constraint in an era of ruthlessly addictive games. Another of its charms is...

The music industry is changing. Revenue from recorded music sales has been evolving for over a decade through streaming, and the trend shows no sign of reversing. Although as a macro trend the accessibility of streaming is positive, it offers a revenue pool that is less accessible to undiscovered, underground, and niche artists without a full-scale team behind them. This problem is not unique to the music industry; it is... Read more ›

I don’t know what to believe anymore. After the MacBook Pro was launched with a notch, it appeared that Apple was doubling down on the design feature. Effectively, the notch was now an integral part of Apple’s brand identity. But that might actually be wrong. They lied to us. According to recent leaks, it looks as though the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro range will do away with the notch and... Read more ›

Astronomers are increasingly drawing back the curtains on black holes. In the past few years, we have finally captured actual photos of these fearsome creatures and measured the gravitational waves – ripples in spacetime – that they create when colliding. But there’s still a lot we don’t know about black holes. One of the biggest enigmas is exactly how they form in the first place. My colleagues and I now... Read more ›

Update (January 13, 2022): Dropbox has finally released a native version for Apple’s ARM-based Macs and MacBooks. This version will have better performance than Intel-based software running on an emulator. You can download it here. Given their performance and power, it’s natural to be lured by Apple’s new lineup of ARM-based MacBooks. I made the switch to the M1-powered Air earlier this year, so I wouldn’t be surprised if many... Read more ›

Lithium-ion batteries have transformed the EV industry, but they don’t come without their disadvantages. You know, like the fact they sometimes cause EVs to burst into flames and explode. LA startup Nanotech Energy claims to have found a way to eliminate this concern once and for all: a fireproof, graphene-based lithium-ion battery. And if this battery can do what it’s promised, we’re talking about a true game changer. Nanotech Energy’s... Read more ›

June 12th is one of the most important days of the year. That’s right, it’s the birthday of Jeff Bezos. While ingrates mark the milestone by insolently asking the entrepreneur to stop union-busting, we want to celebrate the joyous occasion with a song: Bo Burnham’s “Bezos I.” The lyrics tell the touching tale of Jeffrey’s selfless mission to become a tech oligarch. The track was a highlight of Burnham’s Netflix... Read more ›

Biden might be pushing for electrification, but Americans aren’t onboard. Well, that’s what a study by Deloitte has found at least. Amongst the 1,031 American respondents, nearly two-thirds preferred sticking to conventional gas-guzzlers for their next vehicle purchase. Some 17% would consider a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), while only 5% would get a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), or a battery electric vehicle (BEV). Conversely, consumer interest in BEVs is highest in...

There was great excitement in our newsroom because we love compact phones, and don’t hear about many compact phones every year. That also got us thinking: why... Read more ›
