We have all been there. A delayed text reply suddenly means something is wrong. A neutral comment feels oddly critical. A small situation spirals into a full-blown worst-case scenario in seconds. That mental shortcut, where the brain jumps straight to a negative conclusion, is called interpretation bias. And for people dealing with anxiety or depression, it is not just occasional overthinking; it can shape how they feel, react, and function every single day.  It will soften the way you read the world Researchers at Mass General Brigham are trying to tackle exactly this problem with a new digital tool called HabitWorks.…

NASA has shared a stunning image (above) captured by the crew of the Artemis II mission as they head toward the moon. It shows a tiny Earth, mostly in darkness and surrounded by the inky blackness of space. The photo was taken on day four of the Artemis II mission that will see four astronauts fly around the moon before returning to Earth. On Monday, the crew — NASA’s Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman, and Christina Koch, along with Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency — will loop around our nearest neighbor, setting a new flight record in the process.…

Samsung is finally doing what it probably should’ve done years ago: killing its own Messages app. And while this might sound like just another app shutdown, this isn’t just a feature getting deprecated. It’s Samsung basically saying, “Yeah, just use Google’s app instead.” Samsung Messages is officially getting the boot Samsung has officially announced that its native Messages app will be discontinued in July 2026, with users being pushed toward Google Messages as the default replacement. Once the cutoff hits, Samsung Messages won’t function like a normal texting app anymore, and in most cases, users will need to switch if…

Samsung could be preparing to shake up its audio lineup with a radically different kind of earbuds – ones that don’t even rely on your ear canal. According to recent leaks, the company is working on a new product, possibly called “Galaxy Buds Able,” and early signs suggest these could use bone conduction technology instead of traditional speaker drivers. Multiple leaks and certifications, including a recent appearance on India’s BIS database, indicate that the product is actively in development. While details remain limited, the unusual model numbering and repeated references across sources hint that this isn’t just another incremental Galaxy…

A growing number of bars and restaurants across the United States are embracing a phone-free experience, reflecting a broader cultural shift toward reducing screen time and encouraging real-world connection. From upscale supper clubs to neighborhood cocktail bars, establishments are introducing policies that either restrict phone usage or actively incentivize guests to put their devices away. At the heart of this trend is a rising awareness of the negative effects smartphones and social media can have on attention, memory, and interpersonal relationships. Studies continue to highlight how constant digital engagement impacts learning, socialization, and even self-esteem. With Americans reportedly checking their…

Astronauts floating in space using what looks like “old tech” might sound bizarre at first. But as it turns out, there’s a very practical reason behind it. And no, it’s not because NASA is stuck in the past. A recent explanation from NASA spaceflight expert Jason Hutt sheds light on why missions like Artemis still rely on aging hardware, including older Windows tablets. Why NASA still uses “old” tech in space According to Hutt, it all comes down to testing, cost, and reliability. Space hardware isn’t something you can just swap out every year like a smartphone. Every single component…

3D printing is supposed to make prototyping easier, but anyone who’s used it knows the pain. You design something, hit print, wait hours… and then realize it looks nothing like what you imagined. Wrong texture, weird color shifts, or just an overall “this isn’t it” moment. Now, researchers at MIT think they’ve found a fix for that exact headache. MIT’s new tool tackles a classic 3D-printing frustration The team has developed a new preview system called VisiPrint, designed to show users what a 3D-printed object will actually look like before printing it. Unlike traditional tools that focus on structure and…

While AI chatbots have been used for good and evil, they were built to serve as a handy tool. And AI companions were supposed to be a harmless little extension of this chatbot culture. But that illusion is falling apart fast. A growing body of reporting and research suggests teens are not just chatting with these bots for fun. They are turning to them for friendship, emotional support, roleplay, and even romance. So what started as a novelty is quickly feeling like a social experiment gone wrong. What do the surveys say? The figures in reports aren’t modest anymore. A…

Xbox Cloud Gaming leaks are pointing to something players have wanted for years, a way to bring back older titles that quietly disappeared. Activity inside Microsoft’s cloud systems indicates it may be testing how to reintroduce classic releases, including Xbox 360 games, across modern platforms. Dataminers tracking xCloud spotted several legacy games briefly show up before being removed. These include Aegis Wing, Mars War Logs, and Prince of Persia Sands of Time, each appearing with odd placeholders like incorrect pricing attached. That doesn’t confirm a rollout, but it lines up with Microsoft’s push to expand backward compatibility across consoles, Windows…

This canceled LG Rollable smartphone highlights how far behind today’s designs feel. A newly surfaced teardown from JerryRigEverything shows the device wasn’t just experimental, it pushed further than what you can actually buy today. The LG Rollable smartphone never reached store shelves, but it did make it into the hands of a few internal users. Now, a teardown video details how much engineering went into a phone that almost launched back in 2021. What stands out is how complete the concept feels. Even after five years, the hardware works, and the approach tackles problems foldables continue to face. Inside the…
