This week’s Fallout episode traded in personal stories for status updates on fan-favorite factions from Fallout: New Vegas. While we briefly saw the Khans and primary followed the Brotherhood of Steel storyline, we finally got caught up with the NCR and Caesar’s Legion. With this expansion of the Mojave Wasteland, this episode had a healthy dose of easter eggs and callbacks for fans of the video games. Let’s take a look at what this week had to offer.The Mojave’s Favorite SodaThis week’s episode revealed the fate of Squire Thaddeus (Johnny Pemberton) and his new life as a ghoul. Instead of…
Between that and the potential $300 CPU upgrade you’ll want to get—the AMD Ryzen 9 HX 370—the laptop will start at $2,449, and it’ll only go up once you add other components like memory and storage. To put things in perspective, the extremely high-end Razer Blade 16 with the RTX 5070 is around $2,300 (though it frequently dips on sale below $2,000). With the Framework Laptop 16, you’re paying extra for the ability to swap out parts in the future.Fortunately, what you get in return is solid gaming performance. It’s good enough to give you an option of playing in…

While the meter didn’t move too much on individual stories, it was great to see what some of these fan favorite factions are currently up to.The episode opens up in a bottling plant for the infamous Sunset Sarsaparilla, the…
If old sci-fi shows are anything to go by, we’re all using our computers wrong. We’re still typing with our fingers, like cave people, instead of talking out loud the way the future was supposed to be. Have you ever seen Picard touch a keyboard? Of course not.And it’s odd because our computers are all capable of turning speech into text by default. The problem? It just doesn’t work very well. Or, at least, it didn’t. In recent years AI models like Nvidia’s Parakeet and OpenAI’s Whisper, both open source, have made great strides in turning human voices into text.…
You might recognize Bosch as a home appliance name (thanks to its partnership with Siemens), but the German multinational brand’s core business is really about providing the underlying technology and engineering that powers cars, homes and factories around the world. That focus is reflected at CES 2026, where much of what Bosch is unveiling is intended to be licensed to other companies rather than sold as Bosch-branded products on store shelves.Case in point is Bosch’s automotive plans at CES. The company is showcasing what it calls “AI in the car,” or more specifically, in the cockpit of the car. “Bosch’s…
Hey, Theranos? Ever heard of it? Erstwhile founder and current felon Elizabeth Holmes may have drastically overstated her claims by saying you could take a bunch of affordable health tests with one drop of blood, but the company was trying to address a real problem.Many people get a panel of blood tests as part of their routine wellness check, and they’re not fun at all. Blood tests are inconvenient to schedule. You have to fast for at least eight hours beforehand for many of them, and it’s hell if you’re scared of needles.This year, fitness tracker companies like Oura and…
Four scouts on an end-of-year trip, flying across the world for what should be a life-changing experience. What could go wrong? An engine malfunction. The squad crash-lands somewhere in the Pacific. They’re the only survivors on a mysterious island that only grows stranger the deeper they venture and the longer they stay. This is Peak.Sound familiar? The stories of Lost, the Emmy-winning 2004 mystery-laden drama series, and Peak feel like two parallel tracks that move in an eerily similar and magnificent way. The mystery only grows–in both depth and complexity–the further you get, whether you’re marathoning episodes or climbing up…
A unique cipher that uses playing cards and dice to turn languages into glyphs produces text eerily similar to the glyphs in the Voynich manuscript, a new study shows. The finding suggests that an equivalent cipher could have been used to create the mysterious medieval manuscript.The new cipher — called “Naibbe,” from the name of a 14th-century Italian card game — does not decode the medieval Voynich manuscript, but it offers an idea for how the manuscript was made.The Voynich manuscript, which has been radiocarbon-dated to the 15th century, contains roughly 38,000 words written in glyphs that have never been…
Honorable MentionsCourtesy of iFitiFit: Unfortunately, so many fitness apps require proprietary equipment. But if you’ve got the itch to travel, I recommend iFit, which partners with NordicTrack, ProForm, and FreeMotion equipment. You get world-class athletic instructors with jaw-dropping natural scenery from all over the world for workouts that are both stunning and entertaining. I may not be able to ride a pump track with Ashleigh McIvor in real life, even if there wasn’t a pandemic. But on iFit’s platform, I laughed out loud from the exhilaration of flying behind her as the bike tilted up and down. I loved it…
