AI is magical, but perhaps only if you are a phone manufacturer. For the rest of us, it’s the excuse companies lean on to justify a lack of year-on-year improvement. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is shaping up to be the prime example of this trend.The blanket reason for everythingThe Galaxy S26 Ultra’s hardware upgrades will reportedly be limited to a customary new chipset, new display tech, faster charging, and some minor design updates. Its main attraction will be AI, and Samsung has alluded to as much. The AI features will be integrated more deeply into the phone, which should make…
Rebekah Stewart, a nurse at the US Public Health Service, got a call last April that brought her to tears. She had been selected for deployment to the Trump administration’s new immigration detention operation at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. This posting combined Donald Trump’s longtime passion to use the offshore base to move “some bad dudes” out of the United States with a promise made shortly after his inauguration to hold thousands of noncitizens there. The naval base is known for the torture and inhumane treatment of men suspected of terrorism in the wake of 9/11.“Deployments are typically not something you…

A wildlife researcher has made a historic sighting of a Siberian peregrine falcon in central Australia, a region where this subspecies has never been recorded before, the Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) announced Tuesday (Feb. 3).The falcon’s appearance in the region may be linked to a large and unusual rainfall event in 2024, which created temporary wetlands that attracted congregations of prey bird species, as well as predators, the AWC said in a statement.AWC wildlife ecologist Tim Henderson spotted the bird of prey in the skies above the Newhaven Wildlife Sanctuary near the remote town of Alice Springs in February 2025…
Danganronpa and The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy are the types of games it’s hard to get a big company behind. One’s a murder mystery about teenagers killing each other, the other is a sprawling visual novel with 100 different endings. Kazutaka Kodaka, the lead on both these projects, explained how he gets games like this out the door, and it sounds like the key to getting a teenage deathmatch murder mystery approved is lying to your bosses. During an AMA on X, a fan asked Kodaka how he managed to get projects like Danganronpa approved when most big game…
More Than 880 employees and contractors working for Google signed a petition this week calling on the company to disclose and cancel any contracts it may have with US immigration authorities. In the letter unveiled on Friday, the workers said they are “vehemently opposed” to Google’s dealings with the Department of Homeland Security, which includes Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).“We object to the technology we build being used to power state violence around the world,” a Google software engineer, who declined to give their name out of fear of retaliation, told reporters on Friday.“I…

The Android TV interface is one of the easiest to use, and in our testing, we found it to be the most equal-opportunity TV OS when it comes to…
Newly discovered fossil imprints of ancient microbial colonies suggest that researchers need to broaden their search for the oldest life to deeper and more unstable areas.The wrinkled fossil structures, found in the Central High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, are imprinted on turbidites, which are deposits laid down by underwater landslides. The researchers were surprised to see the imprints on these turbidites, because most microbial mats today grow in shallow water, where photosynthetic bacteria can draw energy from light filtering through the waves.The turbidites in Morocco, on the other hand, were at least 590 feet (180 meters) below the surface when…
