Within weeks of the first cases of a “mysterious pneumonia-like illness” being reported in Wuhan, China, public health leaders were convening to assess the threat and shore up systems to mitigate the potential harm to come. This work started unfolding months before COVID-19 would be officially declared a pandemic.Dr. Seth Berkley — a renowned infectious-disease epidemiologist and former CEO of Gavi, an international organization aimed at improving children’s vaccine access — was one figure at the forefront of the effort to ensure future COVID-19 vaccines would be distributed to the world’s poorest nations. In his new book “Fair Doses: An…
Earbuds are great, but they don’t compare to the sound quality achievable with a pair of headphones. You can even get a pretty solid pair for not much cash. Right now, Amazon has the Beats Solo 4 on-ear Bluetooth headphones on sale for 35% off. That ends up bringing the price down by $70. The headphones start at $200, so that brings the price down to just $130. This is the lowest price we’ve seen for the Beats Solo 4 since the summer. Now, even though these on-ear headphones can produce pretty stellar sound, do note that they do not…
Adobe hasn’t shared a specific date yet, but Firefly Image Model 5 will launch “in the months to come” following Adobe MAX. Firefly Image Model 4 launched in April 2025, so it will likely be 2026 before we see a broad release of Image Model 5. Like Image Model 4, the updated model has a native 4-megapixel resolution, meaning it can generate images at 2K (2560 x 1440). It also supports prompt-based editing, which sees edits generated at 2 MP or Full HD (1920 x 1080). The big improvement for Image Model 5, however, is layered image editing.In a demo,…
Spinning off from Rivian, the TM-B e-bike is Also’s attempt at a do-it-all e-bike. It’s pitching it as flexible enough for commuting, trail riding or kid- and cargo-hauling because its modular frame can swap in bench seats or cargo racks. But the frame only comes in a single size. Still, Also (hate that name) says the standard battery is good for 60 miles of riding and can be charged via USB-C.EngadgetBesides the modularity, another unique feature is its drive system, called DreamRide. Instead of a mechanical connection between the bike’s rear wheel and the pedals, the TM-B uses “software-defined pedaling,”…

But with the 115-watt RTX 5060 in the Alienware 16X Aurora, you can expect to play most games at smooth frame rates in standard 1920 x 1200 resolution. Outside of very light games, you can play AAA games at native resolution at high settings, but it will likely require some upscaling to get it to more enjoyable frame rates. For example, in Cyberpunk 2077, you’ll need to drop the resolution to 1200p and graphics preset to High to average a smooth 82 fps. Turning on DLSS to Balanced will bump that up to 107 fps.Marvel Rivals is a game where…

A spokesperson for the company told The Independent that the ads are “part of a broad campaign” by the US government running across different channels and that they do not violate its policies. The spokesperson advised users to just mark ads with a thumbs up or down so that the app can learn their…
