But thereâs another factor thatâs often overlooked:... Read more âș

Qualcomm is a very well-known name when it comes to producing processors (like the one in your phone) and modems. So it feels bizarre to write that the company is now releasing a phone â and itâll cost a whopping $1,500. The phone has no official name and is just called a Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders. The marketing team clearly wasnât bothered about it. Qualcomm said that it built the... Read more âș

Though the company has occasionally been the butt of bad jokes from musicians who seemingly have a problem with affordable instruments, Casio has long offered sensibly designed products that tend to be more accessible than much of the competition. The Casiotone CT-S1 feels like the epitome of Casioâs design philosophy. The company says itâs the spiritual successor to the original Casiotone CT-201... Read more âș

Routers are pretty boring to write about, but every once in a while Iâll make an exception, as is the case with the new Vilo mesh Wi-Fi system. Why? Because itâs dirt cheap and stupidly simple to set up â and I mean that in the best way possible. Each access point costs $20 bucks ($28 with shipping), and each individual unit is rated for coverage up to 1,500 square... Read more âș

On the internet, nobody knows youâre a dog! These words from Peter Steinerâs famous cartoon could easily be applied to the recent ransomware attack on Florida-based software supplier Kaseya. Kaseya provides software services to thousands of clients around the world. Itâs estimated between 800 and 1,500 medium to small businesses may be impacted by the attack, with the hackers demanding US$50 million (lower than the previously reported US$70 million) in...

Until recently it was thought neutron star mergers were the only way heavy elements (heavier than Zinc) could be produced. These mergers involve the mashup of the remnants of two massive stars in a binary system. But we know heavy elements were first produced not long after the Big Bang when the universe was really young. Back then, not enough time had passed for neutron star mergers to have even...
