I did. I finally did it. I bit the bullet and downloaded TikTok. And, within minutes, I was hooked. There was an issue I bumped into quite quickly though — it’s tough as hell to find something you watched earlier. There have been plenty of times where I scrolled past a video that somehow lodged in my brain, but, when I tried to find it again, I was lost. It was gone. Thankfully, it appears the solution to this problem may be close at hand: NEW! TikTok Watch History https://t.co/vxXy9L0VJb — Matt
I am DYING to tell you about how I repurposed my old tablet into a handy ebook reader. And if you’ve got an old or broken device lying around, you could try this too, if you can find an inexpensive repair shop in your area. Let me tell you, it’s worth the trouble. I bought my Apple iPad mini 2 way back in 2014 for around ₹22,000($289), to listen to songs, watch videos, try and uncheck long articles off my reading list, and play a game occasionally. I was working in the software industry back the
Some of the spiciest news to leave the Apple rumor mill this month tells us the company plans to release a 15-inch MacBook Air. Actually, it might not even be called a MacBook ‘Air,’ but it would at least offer a lighter and cheaper alternative to the 16-inch MacBook Pro for those who would like a big screen on their laptop. It’s not the first time we’ve heard this rumor, but it seems increasingly likely to be true thanks to recent reports by Display Supply Chain Consultants and Apple tipster Mi
There’s two things you should know about Jupiter. First, it would be one helluva planet to live on if you were a werewolf. That’s because it has 79 moons. Second, one of those moons probably has life on it. We say probably because, based on all the evidence, it would be weird if it didn’t. Scientists have long thought Europa, a small icy moon about a quarter the size of Earth, might contain life. After all, it’s supposedly got everything you need to sustain biology as we know it: oxygen, water,
What if there was a magical robot that could cure any disease? Don’t answer that. It’s a stupid question. Everyone knows there’s no one machine that could do that. But maybe a swarm made up of tens of thousands of tiny autonomous micro-bots could? That’s the premise laid out by proponents of nanobot medical technology. In science fiction, the big idea usually involves creating tiny metal robots via some sort of magic-adjacent miniaturization technology. Luckily for us, the reality of nanobot tec
How different would we think about artificial intelligence if AI pioneers Allen Newell and Herbert Simon had won support for the seemingly less hype-prone term of “complex information processing,” rather than “artificial intelligence,” which was ultimately adopted by the field? On the surface, this thought experiment is interesting because it asks if artificial intelligence is intrinsically hyped. That is, is the word alone enough to get us in trouble? This was the focus of a recent Wall Street
The great resignation is a buzzphrase that first appeared in May 2021, and has struck fear into the hearts of employers ever since. Coined in the US, the term refers to the unprecedented rise in the number of workers resigning from their jobs following the pandemic. There has since been a huge amount of research trying to work out why this has happened. Are workers quitting work entirely, as the pandemic makes us reevaluate our priorities? Or are they quitting to pursue their dreams in a differe
Last year, sales of electric-chargeable vehicles (EVs and plug-in hybrids) in the EU saw an impressive tenfold increase, reaching 1.7 million units — or 18% of the total car market. However, the number of public chargers grew by only 2.5 times over the same period. According to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), the EU’s current pace in charging infrastructure won’t allow the Union to reach its 2030 green targets, which aim for a 55% CO2 reduction from passenger cars.

A SpaceX Dragon rocket is due to take off this week with some unusual cargo on board: an EEG headset. The device will fly to the International Space Station (ISS) for a first-of-its-kind experiment. The mission? Analyzing the neurological activity of astronauts to understand how microgravity affects the brain. The headset was designed by brain.space, an Israeli company that’s come out of stealth mode for the project. Image: brain.space There is still little known about the effects of space trav
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine started last month, and as a response, various tech companies started to discontinue or limit their services in the country. Some of those were voluntary, and some of those were driven by international sanctions. Here’s a running list of all the companies and digital services paused or discontinued in Russia: Apple Pay: Last month, after Russian banks were hit with sanctions, Apple decided to shut down its payment services to follow those regulations.
