NASA is preparing to conduct its first spacewalk at the International Space Station (ISS) in nearly a year, ending an unusually long break for the activity. Truth be told, NASA had a spacewalk planned for early January but called it off after one of the two participating astronauts experienced a serious health issue that ultimately forced the early return to Earth of a SpaceX crew. The space agency is currently targeting March 18 for a spacewalk involving NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Chris Williams. Coincidentally, the spacewalk is scheduled for the 61st anniversary of the first-ever spacewalk. The milestone was…

The Dynamic Island had a good run. Introduced in 2022 as Apple’s elegant workaround for the Face ID sensor array on the iPhone 14 Pro, it became — depending on who you ask — either a genuinely clever UI trick or a pill-shaped reminder that Apple still hadn’t figured out how to hide a camera. Either way, it’s gone on the iPhone Fold. Replaced, according to Bloomberg, by a small punch-hole cutout on the outer display. iPhone Fold without Face ID? Here’s the thing — Apple didn’t choose to drop Face ID so much as physics made the decision for…

It’s not winning in specs sheet, but it delivers on the aspects that people actually notice. This is why Windows laptop makers should be worried. The MacBook Neo…

Apple’s foldable iPhone is eyeing a Fall season debut, and it seems the device will make a splash with a refined software that will make the best of its wide inner flexible screen. According to Bloomberg, the purported “iPhone Fold” will run iOS, but apps will dynamically go from a condensed page-after-page layout on the small outer screen to a side panel format when they run on the bigger foldable screen. What’s the big change? “Apple is developing new iOS app layouts and revamping its core iPhone programs to add sidebars along the left edge of the screen, similar to…

Recognizing the long hours taxi drivers spend on the road, often away from their families during the time of Iftar, the hospital organized the meal distribution at its premises to ensure drivers could pause briefly during their shifts to collect a warm meal…

Amazon has been aggressively pushing its engineers to adopt AI tools. At least 80% of its developers are expected to use AI for coding tasks at least once a week. However, recent events suggest that this fast-tracked rollout may have come at a cost. As reported by the Financial Times, Amazon Web Services suffered a 13-hour outage in December after engineers let its Kiro AI coding tool update code without requiring any oversight. Kiro decided the best solution was to “delete and recreate the environment.” That’s one way to fix a problem, I suppose. That wasn’t a one-off. A follow-up…
