When I ask influencer chef Jon Kung to name the purchase they regret most, there’s no deliberation. “In my early twenties, I bought this used SMEG fridge,” the 42-year-old Chinese American TikTok creator tells me. “It’s got this giant British flag on it, and I still have it. I’ve stuck Sex Pistols, Ozzy Osbourne, and Spice Girls stickers on the sides to try to make it a little better.”It’s become a conversation piece at the dinner parties Kung hosts at home. Every holiday season, Kung whips up their Chinese takeout feast; it’s a seven-course spread that maps their upbringing across…
Denise Truscello/Getty Images If you think that companies should stick to their core expertise, Toto is here to flush away that notion. The Japanese company is best known for its bidet-style “Washlet” toilets, but it also has an advanced ceramics division that produces components used in NAND memory chips. That business gained 34 percent over last year thanks to AI chip demand, accounting for 55 percent of Toto’s 53.8 billion yen ($343.5 million) operating profit so far this year. Toto expects that division to continue to grow rapidly, around 27 percent…
Get the Popular Science daily newsletter💡 Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. In a world drowning in notifications and devices that want to be everything all at once, calculator giant Texas Instruments (TI) is going back to basics. This week, the company unveiled the TI-84 Evo, its most powerful graphing calculator ever. It explicitly can’t access social media apps or even connect to Wi-Fi. Instead, TI says its $160 “distraction free” device is designed to do only one thing exceptionally well: math. That’s likely welcome news to educators around the country battling a growing attention crisis…
We are but a few short days away from May 4 aka Star Wars Day. What once started out as a silly internet joke about how “May the fourth” sounds like “May the Force…” has evolved into a fully corporate-endorsed celebration of the sci-fi franchise. Does it diminish the fan-created joke? Sure. But hey, at least we all get to take advantage of some sweet Star Wars deals. Starting today and in honor of the upcoming Star Wars Day festivities, Lucasfilm and Disney have marked down nearly every Star Wars game currently being sold on GOG. Over 25 different Star…
To boost the sound or picture quality inside your house, you can connect the P1 to an AV receiver or a soundbar using the one HDMI port over eARC. But even so, the P1 can only do so much because it doesn’t support 4K Ultra resolution, HDR10+ color quality, or even Dolby Atmos Audio using the included speakers. Its key feature is portability. (Dolby Atmos did work with an AV receiver connected using the one HDMI eARC port.)Inside and OutPhotograph: John BrandonAware of the P1’s specifications and its main purpose of portability, I kept my expectations in check as I…
May’s first full moon, known as the Flower Moon, will be 100% illuminated at 1:24 p.m. EDT Friday (May 1). Although that moment occurs during daylight hours for North America, the moon will appear full at night on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.As always, the most striking time to watch the full moon will be as it rises in the east. This month, that happens during dusk on May Day — which marks the halfway point between March’s spring equinox and June’s summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere — when it rises shortly after sunset.This Flower Moon is this year’s first…
Saros is a tough game, but if you’re just that level of Gamer that you find yourself swooping and swerving through its punishing bullet-hell firefights, you might actually be doing yourself a disservice. As crazy as it sounds, it might actually be a good idea to die on purpose a number of times, especially in the earlier sections. Without getting into spoilers, Saros is similar to roguelike games like Hades in that a lot of its storyline happens in between runs. Each time protagonist Arjun dies, he’s sent back to the Passage, his team’s base of operations as they try…
When anthropology researcher Ashley McDermott was doing fieldwork in Kyrgyzstan a few years ago, she says many people voiced the same concern: Children were losing touch with their indigenous language. The Central Asian country of 7 million people was under Russian control for a century until 1991, but Kyrgyz (pronounced kur-giz) survived and remains widely spoken among adults.McDermott, a doctoral student at the University of Michigan, says she also heard that some kids in rural villages where Kyrgyz dominated had spontaneously learned to speak Russian. The adults largely blamed a singular force: YouTube.McDermott and a team of five researchers across…

This morning, Sony released the first trailer for its upcoming Resident Evil movie, which isn’t an adaptation of any of the games. In fact, we don’t see much of anything that seems to directly connect the film to the stories of Leon Kennedy, Chris Redfield, or the Umbrella corporation in this first clip. However, director Zach Cregger sat down with IGN to talk about the trailer, and revealed how the film will be connected to the broader Resident Evil timeline when it comes to theaters in September. The 13-minute trailer breakdown shows Weapons director Cregger talking about some of the…
