It’s turned into an unusual mission for SpaceX’s Crew-11. Instead of remaining at the International Space Station (ISS) for the full duration of their mission, the four crew members are coming home a month early due to a medical issue with one of the astronauts. Crew-11 departed the ISS on Wednesday afternoon and is due to splash down in the early hours of Thursday. Read on for full details on how to watch. Keen to maintain privacy, NASA has declined to reveal both the astronaut’s identity and the medical issue that’s at the center of the early return. NASA chief…
Remember the “more personal Siri” ad that Apple pulled? Yeah, the same one where you could just say “which person I met at XYZ cafe two weeks ago” and it answered. And pulled a whole bunch of other futuristic tricks because it was armed with deep knowledge of your “iPhone life,” digging everywhere from your mail and messages to location and photos. Well, those plans still haven’t materialized. But if you’ve been waiting for a similar convenience on Google’s side of the ecosystem, the future has just arrived. Today, Google has announced Personal Intelligence. Think of it as a more…
Google is using a clever bit of ultrasound tech to get you into meetings faster, and with fewer chances of embarrassing audio feedback. The company is rolling out automatic conference room detection to Google Meet on Android and iOS. The feature already existed on laptops, but bringing it to phones makes it far more practical for real-world meetings. The idea is simple. When you enter a meeting room and open Meet through the app or via Gmail, your phone can sense that it is physically inside a supported conference room and prompt you to join the ongoing call correctly. Here…
It’s been about four months since the iPhone 17 launched, and rumors about the iPhone 18 series have already started to pour in. The most recent one comes from the Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station (via Weibo), shedding some light on the display specifications for the entire lineup. Starting with the baseline iPhone 18, it could feature the same 6.27-inch (marketed as 6.3-inch) 120Hz OLED screen as the iPhone 17, with ProMotion and the Dynamic Island. The iPhone Air 2, which has returned to the rumor mill after being cancelled, will also retain the 6.55-inch 120Hz OLED screen we’ve seen…
Microsoft is testing Windows 11 26H1 with the Insider Preview Build 28000, which brings many of the useful features we’ve seen in the Dev, Beta, and stable versions of previous builds. Even though the version contains some additions, it’s not one of the usual Windows feature updates (via PCWorld). For instance, there’s a more consistent dark mode for the File Explorer. All the dialogues in the interface, including those for copy, move, replace, errors, and progress bar, now completely match the theme. Minor feature tweaks, major groundwork for Windows on Arm The Explorer start area gets new hover options, including…
While wireless charging has existed in cars for quite a while, the implementation isn’t even close to perfect. Overheating pads, gripless charging modules, and slow speeds make the feature feel like an inconvenience in day-to-day usage. However, the Japanese automaker Nissan promises to change that by introducing Qi2 wireless charging technology (in select cars). Qi2 wireless charging finally makes in-car phone charging reliable In its latest press release, Nissan claims to have solved the long-existing issue by becoming the “first automaker in the U.S. to offer Qi2 wireless charging” on production vehicles. The feature will be available on the 2026…
Google’s gearing up to launch another Pixel, and this time, it’s the A-series that’s up next. Usually, the company drops an A-series handset in March, but multiple sources claim that the Pixel 10a could arrive a month earlier, in February 2026. Renowned tipster Roland Quandt (via a post on BlueSky) suggests that the Pixel 10a could hit shelves by the middle of February 2026. It’s worth emphasizing here that the retail availability of smartphones usually follows an announcement early on. Hence, Google could announce the next A-series handset in early February, and it might be available to purchase in the…
