Table of Contents Table of Contents A color-changing smartphone A surprisingly good camera What about the rest of the phone? Is the special color-changing feature enough? I’m not deliberately torturing myself as I type these words with almost frozen fingers, as my weather app tells me it “feels like 1-degrees Celsius.” I’m actually testing the Realme 14 Pro Plus’ big party trick. When it gets cold, the back of the phone changes color, and between getting out of my warm car and now, it has changed from an off-white color with gold flecks to a frigid white with blue waves.…
New Glenn Mission NG-1 Webcast At the second time of trying, Blue Origin successfully launched its orbital New Glenn rocket from Cape Canaveral in Florida on early Thursday morning ET. The first-ever launch of the New Glenn represents a major milestone for Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin spaceflight company, marking its entry into the orbital launch market and heavy-lift space industry, and setting it up to compete with the likes of Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

Terraria‘s next update might not be the last one after all. The game’s refusal to ever be “complete” is something of a running joke among fans, as the official final update landed in May 2020, only to be followed by others in October 2020 and in 2022. Another “final” update was later scheduled for late 2024 or early 2025. Version 1.4.5 is said to be the actual, we-really-mean-it-this-time final update, but it isn’t quite finished yet. Developer Re-Logic apologized for the long delay on the update, but said the team wants it to feel “just right” and promises that the…
Microsoft has announced that support for Microsoft 365 apps on Windows 10 will end this year on October 14, as reported by The Verge. This is also the end-of-support date for Windows 10 as a whole, but the move is still a little surprising considering that Microsoft is now offering the Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) Program. Anyone who joins this program for $30 can continue to safely use Windows 10 for a whole extra year — so you might think that Microsoft would let them continue to use the Office apps too. That said, it’s not like the…

Space watchers had been gearing up for an exciting evening tonight as SpaceX was set to launch its mighty Starship on its seventh test flight to date. The hope was to launch the massive rocket and have it deploy a payload for the first time, as well as facing the daunting challenge of trying to catch the rocket’s Super Heavy Booster at the launch tower in Boca Chica, Texas. However, now the test flight has been pushed back by one day due to weather conditions. The launch had been scheduled for tonight, Wednesday January 15, but SpaceX announced it would…
NASA astronaut Don Pettit has been busy with his camera again. The crack photographer recently shared another stunning image, this one captured from the window of a Crew Dragon spacecraft docked at the International Space Station (ISS). “One photo with: Milkyway, Zodical [sic] light, Starlink satellites as streaks, stars as pin points, atmosphere on edge showing OH emission as burned umber (my favorite Crayon color), soon to rise sun, and cities at night as streaks,” Pettit wrote in a post accompanying the photo. One photo with: Milkyway, Zodical light, @Starlink satellites as streaks, stars as pin points, atmosphere on edge…
It seems as though Panasonic forced LG Display’s hand when it announced at CES 2025 the new panel technology at use in its new Z95B OLED TV — a new four-layer OLED panel structure that increases brightness while improving efficiency at the same time. Today, LG Display has confirmed that it has developed this new tech, while providing more details than LG Electronics did last week when we met with them. For context, the new G5 OLED LG debuted gets brighter than last year’s model, but without the benefit of the MLA (Micro Lens Array) technology LG developed specifically to…
Table of Contents Table of Contents What is the Astropad Bookcase anyway? What I like about the Astropad Bookcase What could be improved with the Astropad Bookcase Do you have an iPhone or Android phone? Of course you do. Do you have an e-reader? Maybe. Have you ever wanted to turn your smartphone into an e-reader? Probably. If so, there’s a wacky little accessory from Astropad: the Bookcase. It basically makes your smartphone feel like an e-reader, like a Kindle, but without the actual benefits of an e-ink display. It’s certainly one of the more, well, interesting accessories that I’ve…
We’re currently living in an age where there are so many great games to choose from, and only more upcoming video games to look forward to. The biggest problem is having the time and money to play everything you want. Some games are short, others are long, but the ones that can really get their hooks in you are live-service games. These titles offer consistent updates of new content to keep you coming back for months or years at a time. They’re almost always multiplayer-focused, with cross-platform support so you can not only play almost anywhere but with whoever you…
