While Windows desktops offer fantastic alternatives to the Mac mini and Mac Pro, the Mac Studio continues to sit in its own unique sphere. Part compact PC and part powerhouse, it’s the kind of device that’s only possible thanks to the massive success of Apple Silicon.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was restrained after another controversial VAR decision played a pivotal part in his side’s 2-0 home defeat by West Ham United on Thursday that meant they missed out on returning to the top of the Premier League. West Ham took the lead against the run of play after 13 minutes when Tomas Soucek netted after a pull-back from Jarrod Bowen who was deemed to have just kept the ball in play. The VAR check took almost five minutes to complete due to Bowen’s position in blocking the main camera angle and meant the on-field decision that…

NASA’s highly anticipated Artemis III mission will see the first woman and first person of color step onto the lunar service in a moment that will also mark the first human lunar landing since 1972. If the space agency sticks to its schedule, the mission will take place in 2025, but there’s still much work to be done to ensure that that happens. The Artemis III astronauts will travel to the moon aboard NASA’s Orion spacecraft before transferring to SpaceX’s Starship HLS lander, which is a modified version of the Starship spacecraft that’s currently under development. The Starship HLS will…

Mashaer Muhammed Hassan grew up in a farm adjacent to a forest where her father ran a honey-producing business, which is where she first befriended bees – and learned to make honey. Around 40 years ago, Mashaer’s father decided to establish the first honey store in Al Ain, prompting the family’s move to the UAE.
