I recently wrote that you shouldnât have huge expectations about sound quality improvements when upgrading from Spotify Premium to the upcoming lossless HiFi tier. The gist of it is that the vast majority of people â including audio enthusiasts â cannot tell the difference between lossless audio and âlossyâ encoded at a high enough bitrate audio. But that argument makes one important assumption: you are already listening to Spotify Premium... Read more âș

Over the past couple of years, Google has doubled down on the Pixel lineâs promise of being software first â and becoming more useful over time. The company has done a few Pixel âdropsâ that essentially add new features exclusive to the Pixel line, and today the company is adding a few more â including a special underwater photo mode. One of my favorite features introduced with the Pixel 4... Read more âș

A computer artist has created a fittingly futuristic homage to Daft Punk, following the iconic duoâs announcement last week that they were splitting up. Composer Glenn Marshall paid homage to the group by using AI to generate a music video for their 2001 track âVoyager.â Marshall produced the film with a program called Story2Hallucination, a modification to the text-to-image generator Big Sleep. Story2Hallucination uses Big Sleep to convert text inputs... Read more âș

Instagram today launched Live Rooms, a new feature that lets you go live with up to three other people. Instagram users could previously only go live with one other person, but can now âdouble-upâ on their broadcasts. That should make the feature handy for hanging out with friends, interacting with audiences, participating in classes, and collaborating on creative projects. Live Rooms also gives creators more ways to monetize their work.... Read more âș

TLDR: The Deeper Connect Nano goes beyond VPNs, creating your own fully protected web connection for all your home devices so you can stop accruing monthly VPN charges. Virtual private networks are practically essential protection measures for web users these days, providing valuable anonymity and fortified security services. But nobody enjoys paying those annual, or sometimes even monthly VPN provider fees. And nobody appreciates the worry that that provider might... Read more âș

When Twitter banned former US President Donald Trump from its platform, a number of his supporters flocked to Parler, a social network that became home to right-wingers. But after multiple calls for violence and privacy leaks, it was booted out of Google Play Store, Apple App Store, and even Amazonâs cloud services in January. Gaining traction at launch was all for naught as it faced the consequences of hosting problematic...

Get into your galoshes because weâre about to wade into the rumor marshes and then stomp through the maths swamp. Confused? Donât be: a 1TB iPhone may be released this year and weâve got the numbers on that.

âSending text messages to your customers? That sounds invasiveâŠâ I was a skeptic at first when the idea was mentioned to me. But when I started to look at SMS marketing, I realized that with the right frequency and messaging, it can be a highly effective method of communication. SMS open rates are far higher than other types of messaging, and they reach people on a more personal level. And... Read more âș

According to a new analysis seen by The Guardian, over the course of an EVâs life, just 30 kg of raw materials will be lost from its lithium-ion battery â once recycling is taken into account. However, in gasoline vehicles,... Read more âș

The Parker Solar Probe, designed for detailed study of the Sun, has another advantage â it is able to examine planets as it passes their orbits. As it refines its orbit around our Sun, Parker will pass Venus a total of seven times over its seven-year mission. The Parker probe uses the gravitational pull of planets to bend its path through the Solar System. Recorded on July 11, 2020, a... Read more âș

Every day, digital advertisement agencies serve billions of ads on news websites, search engines, social media networks, video streaming websites, and other platforms. And they all want to answer the same question: Which of the many ads they have in their catalog is more likely to appeal to a certain viewer?

When I saw the news that Apple would be releasing 217 new emojis into the world, I did what I always do: I asked my undergraduates what it meant to them. âWe barely use them anymore,â they scoffed. To them, many emojis are like overenthusiastic dance moves at weddings: reserved for awkward millennials. âAnd they use them all wrong anyway,â my cohort from generation Z added earnestly. My work focuses... Read more âș

Harrison Schmitt and Eugene Cernan blasted off from the Taurus-Littrow valley on the Moon in their lunar module Challenger on December 14, 1972. Five days later, they splashed down safely in the Pacific, closing the Apollo 17 mission and becoming the last humans to visit the lunar surface or venture anywhere beyond low-Earth orbit. Now the international Artemis program, lead by NASA, is aiming to put humans back on the... Read more âș

For more than a decade, journalists and researchers have been writing about the dangers of relying on algorithms to make weighty decisions: who gets locked up, who gets a job, who gets a loan â even who has priority for COVID-19 vaccines. Rather than remove bias, one algorithm after another has codified and perpetuated it, as companies have simultaneously continued to more or less shield their algorithms from public scrutiny....

In 2010, when scientists were preparing to smash the first particles together within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), sections of the media fantasized that the EU-wide experiment might create a black hole that could swallow and destroy our planet. How on Earth, columnists fumed, could scientists justify such a dangerous indulgence in the pursuit of abstract, theoretical knowledge? But particle accelerators are much more than enormous toys for scientists to... Read more âș

Electric bicycles can be the fastest way to get around a city like New York, but they can also be a pain when youâre not actively using the electric components. For one, ebikes typically command large price tags that make them compelling targets for thieves; carrying two heavy duty locks with you everywhere is usually a minimum. For another, they tend to weigh 50-70 pounds, making them a pain to... Read more âș
