Death Valley National Park officials are searching for a couple of brazen blockheads, and they could use your help finding them. Specifically, they’re looking for at least two people last spotted in Eureka Dunes. The region located about 120 miles east of Fresno, California features what are likely the tallest sand dunes in North America. “Most importantly, OFF ROAD VEHICLE TRAVEL IS NOT PERMITTED ON THE DUNES, or anywhere else in Death Valley National Park for that matter,” the park explains on its website.…
The Sony S100F 2.0ch Soundbar delivers clear audio for TV, movies, music, and other content without overwhelming your home theater setup. Simply set the soundbar in front of your TV and plug it in with a single cable to enjoy significantly improved audio over standard TV speakers. Its two-channel design, bass-reflex driver, and tweeter add depth to TV audio, while surround sound processing creates the illusion that sound comes from farther away. You can also pair your phone or tablet via Bluetooth with the soundbar and stream music or playlists when the TV is off. You can purchase the Sony…
Image Credit: NASASmartphones have become a basic necessity in our lives, as we take them everywhere we go (even into restrooms). However, there is one place where humans are not allowed to take their phones—space. NASA has a strict guideline that prohibits astronauts from taking their smartphones into orbit. Fortunately, that’s about to change in the upcoming Crew-12 and Artemis II missions.Astronauts will be able to capture pictures on the fly NASA has very strict regulations on what can and cannot be taken into orbit. Until now, smartphones fell into the latter category and were not allowed on space flights.…
The 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics begin this week, and this year’s Opening Ceremony promises to be one for the ages. The three-hour event will feature performances from Mariah Carey and Andrea Bocelli, 3,000 athletes participating in the Parade of Nations, and not one but two Olympic cauldrons being lit. (One at Milan’s Arco della Pace, since Milan will serve as the main hub for this year’s Games, and the other in the Alpine city of Cortina d’Ampezzo, where events like skiing will take place.) The festivities are all happening this Friday, Feb. 6, and will air on NBC —…
You should buy a dehumidifier. It will almost certainly improve your home environment. Pulling moisture from the air helps banish condensation and mold, making it cheaper and easier to regulate the temperature in your house or apartment. There’s a reason the chatter about dehumidifiers has grown so loud and sales are soaring; it’s because they work.Whether you’ve seen a persuasive Reddit thread, a life hack on TikTok, or an expert guide to the best dehumidifiers, the hype is real. I live in Scotland, where it’s dark and damp for months every year. We even have a word for the weather:…

For dogs, good training and responsible ownership impact their behavior, but their life experiences and genetics can also affect temperament. Hormones may also play a role and could offer a new way to assess our canine companions. In a small study published today in the journal PLOS One, more well-behaved dogs generally had lower levels of cortisol—an important stress hormone—and higher levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with happiness. A team at Kyungpook National University in Degu, South Korea, studied 24 dogs of various…
In a Nintendo Direct that was filled with years-old ports, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered fit right in. Of course, this is really only a year old, given it’s Bethesda’s remaster of the 20-year-old original that came out everywhere else in April 2025, now coming to the Switch 2 at some point in 2026. The most recent Elder Scrolls game, Skyrim, saw one of its own seventy-thousand remastered versions (the Anniversary Edition) release on the Switch 2 in December last year. Oblivion, which received a surprise announcement and simultaneous release of its remastered version on April 22, 2025, will now join it on…
Nokia used to rule the world of business smartphones and camera phones as well. The Nokia N8 was one of the prime examples of a flagship Nokia device. And now it’s back, well… sort of.Back in 2010, the N8 was at the pinnacle of smartphone technology with a 680 MHz ARM 11 processor, 256 MB of RAM, and 16 GB of onboard storage.I know these specs don’t sound like much today, but we’re talking 16 years in the past here. The N8 also featured one of the best cameras at the time—a 12 MP, 1/1.83″ wide-angle lens with autofocus and…
Last week, a new social network was created and it’s already gone very, very viral even though it’s not meant for human users. I’m talking, of course, about Moltbook, a Reddit-like platform that’s populated entirely by AI agents.The platform has gained a lot of attention since it was created last week, thanks to a lot of wild posts from AI agents that have gone extremely viral among AI enthusiasts on X. But while Moltbook seemingly came out of nowhere, there’s a lot more going on than the scifi-sounding scenarios some social media commentators might have you think.What is Moltbook and…
On our video training site, WP101, our focus is on helping members feel confident with WordPress and grow their websites over time. But we learned that churn (members cancelling their subscriptions) is a common challenge, even when the content is genuinely valuable. In many cases, members don’t cancel because they’re unhappy with the content. They cancel because they get busy, forget to log in, or lose momentum. That’s where automation made a real difference for us. By adding a few simple workflows, we were able to stay connected with members at the right moments, reduce cancellations, and keep people engaged…
