A surround sound system just isn’t complete without a subwoofer. This isn’t to say that you need to invest in the type of low-frequency woofer that’s going to have your neighbors calling the cops whenever you fire up your Zathura Blu-ray, but many home theater speakers sound their best when paired with some kind of bass box. Even soundbars perform at their peak when accompanied by extra bass, which is why a majority of them are packaged with a wireless sub. Of course, we can understand how daunting it can be to explore the immense world of subwoofers. Like most…
More than 130 countries agreed to prioritise food and agriculture in their national climate plans at COP28 in Dubai Friday in a move hailed by observers despite fears over its silence on the role of fossil fuels. Food systems are estimated to be responsible for roughly a third of human-made greenhouse gases, but are increasingly threatened by global warming and biodiversity loss. A total of 134 countries who produce 70 percent of the food eaten worldwide signed the declaration, summit hosts the UAE said. “There is no path to achieving the goals of the Paris climate agreement and keeping 1.5…
What do Tom Hanks, Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, and Sara Tendulkar have in common? They’ve all recently had a taste of the deepfake treatment, courtesy of modern technology’s mischievous side. On October 1, Hollywood actor Tom Hanks warned fans that an AI-generated video of him pitching a dental plan is not real. This week Indian actress Alia Bhatt became the latest target of deepfake with a morphed clip which originally shows a woman making obscene gestures at the camera. Earlier this month, actress Rashmika Mandanna also became a victim of a disturbing incident when a video featuring her through deepfake…
Almost a year after his last match, former world number one Rafael Nadal will return to the courts in Brisbane next month ahead of the Australian Open for what is likely to be his final season. “Hello everyone, after a year away from competition, it’s time to come back.

I’m looking forward to seeing the Samsung Galaxy S24, the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip 6, and especially a Samsung smart ring in 2024. But in the back of my mind, there is one product I definitely don’t want to see from Samsung next year — one I fear may become inevitable. The Samsung Health app is currently completely free, and I don’t want to see the company turn it into a subscription-based service. Fitness subscriptions are everywhere I won’t be the first to complain about subscriptions for health and fitness wearables or the sheer number of subscription plans…
Israel could secure the freedom of hostages still held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip through talks or by “other means”, an Israeli official told Reuters on Friday. Speaking in Dubai after fighting resumed in Gaza following the end of a week-long temporary ceasefire, Foreign Ministry Deputy Director General Oded Joseph said Israel remained intent on securing the release of all hostages and destroying Hamas. During the pause in fighting, dozens of hostages were exchanged for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and humanitarian aid was brought into the Gaza Strip. “Naturally, we would reach a point where again we would want…
Nom de plume. Pseudonym. Pen name. Why have authors throughout history gone to such lengths to hide their names, mask their identities, or create alternative personas for themselves? It turns out there are multiple reasons, ranging from the personal to the political. When we speak of pseudonyms, we normally think of female authors choosing to write under male pen names for their books to be accepted for publishing and to find a readership for their work. In the eighteenth and nineteenth century, we have prominent examples such as the Bronte sisters: Charlotte, Emily and Anne writing as Currer, Ellis, and…
