Subways have never been my favorite mode of transit, but the onset of the pandemic made them even less appealing. Sixteen months later, Google Maps may finally have found a way to lure me back underground. The service is now piloting the option to see live data on the crowdedness of individual train carriages. Up front: Google initially launched transit crowdedness predictions in 2019, when people were more worried about... Read more ›

In fact, it’s cold as hell, but that doesn’t seem to worry a new generation of space entrepreneurs intent on colonizing the “final frontier” as fast as possible. Don’t get me wrong. I’m no sullen technophobe. As lockdown projects go, NASA’s landing of the Perseverance rover on the surface of the... Read more ›

Getting an Apple Watch last year altered my life — especially when it came to exercise. But the more I’ve used it for this, the more a specific question has arisen: why the hell doesn’t the Apple Watch workout app have a warmup mode? For the uninitiated, the in-built Workout app on the Apple Watch has a range of different sports you can select. The idea behind this is twofold.... Read more ›

A few versions ago, Google’s Chrome browser for Android got a feature that opened new tabs in groups. This means when you click on a link, it opens that page in a little ‘folder’ — making it tough to find individual tabs while scrolling. Bless the lord: Android Police has discovered you can now turn that off. Well, if you have the current stable version 91 of Chrome that is.... Read more ›

If you’ve watched any sci-fi shows or read any books about space, then you probably know that human bodies and vacuums don’t mix well. You’ve probably heard that all sorts of bad things happen without atmospheric pressure constantly weighing down on your flesh, not the least of which is the fact that your body will rapidly expand to about twice its size, as your skin stretched like a balloon.
