It takes seven months to get to Mars in an efficiently engineered spaceship, covering the distance of 480 million kilometers. On this journey, a crew would have to survive in a confined space with no opportunity to experience nature or interact with new people. It is easy to imagine how this much isolation could have a severe impact on the crew’s well-being and productivity. The challenges long-duration space travellers experience... Read more ›

If you said “cotton swabs” then you would be joining the ranks of many of us who continue to poke and prod the earwax out of our ear canals, despite having heard that swabs may actually do more harm than good. In fact, one study found that 68% of the respondents do exactly that. It’s time to change this habit. Earwax, or as it... Read more ›

Friends, I’m in love. To be fair, I’ve felt this way for some time. It happened when I first got my hands on the Bluesound Node 2i music streamer a few years ago — a relationship that has been going strong since. But the butterflies have started up again, because I’ve had the pleasure of testing out the latest iteration of the device, simply known as the Bluesound Node. Let... Read more ›

Physicists searching for evidence of a “light sterile neutrino”, a hypothetical particle that could give clues to cosmic puzzles such as the nature of dark matter and why the Universe is made of matter at all, have announced their hunt has come back empty-handed. The MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab was designed to follow up on earlier hints of neutrinos behaving oddly, but the negative result deals a blow to the... Read more ›

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 of you might be eyeing the Pro with the M1X processor — despite the notch. When your favorite applications support the native ARM architecture, the laptops are an absolute dream to use. However, some apps... Read more ›

As the founder of a bootstrapped startup, people often ask me how I decided on which funding route I’d take when there are so many options for founders to consider. While I don’t have a short answer to this, there’s one thing I can say: your choice of funding needs to be based on the nature of your business and the product you are dealing with. The exact type of... Read more ›

TLDR: Save nearly $500 on a Generark Solar Generator package including a backup power generator and solar panels for when power outages hit. We all take it for granted that when we flip on a light switch or fire up a space heater or hit the button on our garage door opener that the power will be there to handle the task. With more vital systems of every kind running... Read more ›

Do your friends, on average, have more friends than you? If you are an average person, there is a high chance that you have fewer friends than your friends. This is called the friendship paradox. This phenomenon states that most people have fewer friends than their friends have, on average. In this article, I will demonstrate why such a paradox exists, and whether we can find the paradox in Facebook... Read more ›

In conversation with my teenage daughter last week, I pointed out a news report which flagged concerns over the use of facial recognition technologies in several school canteens in North Ayrshire, Scotland. Nine schools in the area recently launched this practice as a means to take payment for lunches more quickly and minimize COVID risk, though they’ve since paused rolling out the technology. Privacy fears as schools use facial recognition... Read more ›

I told myself I wouldn’t write anything else about the new 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro‘s notch, but it’d help if Apple didn’t keep on giving me reasons to. Okay, this is the last time, for real. When I first saw the notch, like many, I assumed it would have Face ID. The answer, as it turns out, was ‘no’ — the laptop uses boring old Touch ID instead. The... Read more ›

“Fool me once, shame on…shame on you. Fool me – you can’t get fooled again.” Former US President George W Bush. It’s easy to laugh at someone who believes the Earth is flat. Dunking on pro-diseasers (AKA: antivaxxers) has become one of the internet’s favorite sports. And it’s pretty posh by social media standards to ridicule anyone who questions whether the climate-crisis is real. There’s always going to be a... Read more ›

A seismic shift has rocked the world: Facebook changed its name to Meta. We’re truly blessed to live in such historical times. While Facebook’s identity and branding switcheroo will get headlines (especially as it’s a way to avoid its heap of problems), this is obscuring the real human story. Yes, I’m talking about the thousands upon thousands of people who now have a tattoo of Meta’s logo. Zuck and his... Read more ›

Raspberry Pi has released a new board called the Zero 2 W — and, excitingly, it costs just $15. It has more than five times more power than its predecessor, thanks to a new quad-core CPU. This makes it ideal for building small media servers, pet monitors, or any number of similar development projects. Before we talk about how it compares with the Zero W, let’s take a look at...
