The city accounted for more than half of China’s $239bn in semiconductor imports in the first five months of 2026, according to a Bloomberg review of official data. That share stood at […] This story continues at The Next Web Read more ›

Meta today announced updates to its facial recognition program that will have sweeping consequences for the Facebook platform — and not in a good way. Meta? It’s still Facebook to me and this move just proves that a dumpster fire by any other name would still smell as sickly. The company’s not stopping the use of facial recognition. Nor is it deleting facial recognition data for more than a billion... Read more ›

Scientists at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics believe they’ve discovered the first extragalactic planet ever observed by humans. Up front: I’ve got “extragalactic planetary, planetary extragalactic” to the tune of the Beastie Boys’ “Intergalactic” stuck in my head. And, now, you probably do too. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way: An extragalactic planet is one that’s not only outside of our own solar system, such as the... Read more ›

We’re in an age when consumers and businesses are more aware than ever about the need to build a more sustainable world. But how can we make our lives and our businesses more sustainable? What are the seemingly small/simple changes we can introduce to make a big impact tomorrow? These were just two of the questions that Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles explored on a city trip with the innovative ID. Buzz... Read more ›

TLDR: The Carsule Pop-Up Cabin attaches to your vehicle to serve as a comfortable and spacious outdoor living room. There’s a rustic charm to camping out, pitching a tent and sleeping in the great outdoors. But be honest…if you could actually sleep and enjoy the convenience of your own personal cabin in place of that tent, you’d ditch those tentpoles in a heartbeat. Assuming you don’t have the resources to... Read more ›

TLDR: These app-enabled smart drumsticks are like having a massive drum set in front of you whenever you want to play. I can’t wait until my child grows up to become a drummer…said no parent ever. Look, no parent ever wants to squash the dreams of their kid. However, self-preservation does play a factor in how those dreams manifest. Even if a kid is musically inclined and ready to start...

Alright, you’ve built a decent product. You believe you have a product-market fit and you’ve been able to acquire a fair amount of traffic through organic and paid channels. But… your growth rate is starting to stagnate. So, you decide to put out more content, tap into more channels, widen your targeting, increase budgets, among other things. You wait a few weeks but quickly learn that even though all of... Read more ›

We’ve been expecting an Apple Car for a while now, but it might happen sometime this decade. Personally, I’m very satisfied with the few Apple products I own (my MacBook Air, for instance) and I’d be curious to see what the fabled Apple Car would look like, although I’m not really dying over it. I can imagine though that for those of you who absolutely love the brand, an “iCar”... Read more ›

“Trouble at Facebook” is like saying water is wet. This has been a tough year for Zuck and co with Capitol Riots and vaccine misinformation to handle. However, those were nothing compared to the last few weeks. The Facebook papers — a set of leaked internal documents of the company — have revealed shocking things about how the firm thinks about young users, developing countries, and hateful content on its...

An employee at MacEwan University got an email in 2017 from someone claiming to be a construction contractor asking to change the account number where almost $12 million in payments were sent. A week later the actual contractor called asking when the payment would arrive. The email about the account number change was fake. Instead of going to the contractor, the payments were sent to accounts controlled by criminals. Fake... Read more ›

Dozens of space-based telescopes operate near Earth and provide incredible images of the universe. But imagine a telescope far away in the outer solar system, 10 or even 100 times farther from the Sun than Earth. The ability to look back at our solar system or peer into the darkness of the distant cosmos would make this a uniquely powerful scientific tool. I’m an astrophysicist who studies the formation of...

This week Tesla launched its first-ever Non-Tesla Supercharger pilot. The lucky country chosen for the experiment is the Netherlands, where the company is opening 10 EV charging stations to local non-Tesla EV drivers. All EV drivers will have to do is download the Tesla app, login, and record when they begin and end the charging session. Trial program for opening Tesla Superchargers to other EVs has begun https://t.co/g4HpgRGl7d — Elon... Read more ›

It’s hard to find a good note-taking app that works across all your devices, but if you’re in the Apple ecosystem, Notability is one of them. The good news is that the app is now free, but is it really? The app is switching to a subscription model which requires you to pay a yearly fee of $14.99 (currently $11.99) for its premium features. First, the good news: the app... Read more ›

The days of arguing about whether you should have a pair of wireless earbuds are over. The results are in: you need some. Over the past few years, the quality of true wireless earbuds has skyrocketed and you’re spoilt for choice. I mean, just think of the quality of things like Apple’s AirPods Pro, Sony’s WF-1000XM4, and Google’s Pixel Buds. These are miraculous bits of technology that, despite their ubiquity,... Read more ›

I’m not a lefty, but I feel for my sinistral brethren. Whether it’s an ergonomic mouse or a fancy controller, the PC industry tends to prioritize right-handed folk at the expense of lefties. A particularly egregious example of this can be seen in this leaked 17-inch Lenovo ThinkBook Plus, courtesy of Evan Blass. Have you guys seen this yet? 17-inch ThinkBook Plus from Lenovo… pic.twitter.com/OElc5ZM3pb — Ev (@evleaks) October 31,... Read more ›

I’m not a car person. You know, car people. Driving a car is a big part of their psyche and something that seriously brings them joy. They wax lyrical about the shape of a car rear end, or the wheel hubs. It’s part of their identity — they go for long road trips, join car clubs, visit car shows, and build model cars in their spare time. I am not... Read more ›

Apple’s introduction of App Tracking Transparency hasn’t proven popular with social media platforms. The privacy shift has vaporized an estimated $9.85 billion of revenues for Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Snap, according to The Financial Times. The new policy, which launched in April, requires the social media platforms to gain permission from iPhone users before tracking them across other apps. Unsurprisingly, many of them have opted out, which has made ad... Read more ›

If you’re a fan of sci-fi futuristic movies such as Battlestar Galactica and Star Wars, you’re already familiar with hoverbikes, or simply flying bikes. For those of you who wrongfully haven’t seen Star Wars, that’s the Speeder bike. It’s a flying motorbike used by the Stormtroopers, the army of the bad guys. Credit: Star Wars Well, seeing hoverbikes in movies presenting futuristic and semi-human societies is normal, I guess. But... Read more ›

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 ›

How do you clean your ears? 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 ›
