A team of geologists has found for the first time evidence that two ancient, continent-sized, ultrahot structures hidden beneath the Earth have shaped the planet’s magnetic field for the past 265 million years.These two masses, known as large low-shear-velocity provinces (LLSVPs), are part of the catalog of the planet’s most enormous and enigmatic objects. Current estimates calculate that each one is comparable in size to the African continent, although they remain buried at a depth of 2,900 kilometers.Low-lying surface vertical velocity (LLVV) regions form irregular areas of the Earth’s mantle, not defined blocks of rock or metal as one might…
Apple is famously secretive about everything it does, and for years that made every iPhone premiere feel truly special. Those times are long gone, and we already know most of the key details about the iPhone 17e. Now, we also have the exact date when Apple’s mid-range phone may launch.iPhone 17e may launch February 19Apple may premiere the iPhone 17e on February 19, according to a report (translated source) by the German outlet Macwelt. That would be a rather unusual move from the company, as the date falls precisely one year after the launch of the iPhone 16e and on…
Meta is developing a standalone app for Vibes, its feed of AI-generated videos, according to reports from TechCrunch and Platformer. Vibes was introduced as a feature in the Meta AI app in September 2025. Similar to OpenAI’s Sora app, Vibes lets users prompt Meta AI to create TikTok-style vertical videos.”Following the strong early traction of Vibes within Meta AI, we are testing a standalone app to build on that momentum,” Meta said in a statement. “We’ve seen that users are increasingly leaning into the format to create, discover, and share AI-generated video with friends. This standalone app provides a dedicated…
Nvidia is becoming that old friend who refuses to break it off but has clearly moved on. Nioh 3‘s devs don’t believe in adding an easy mode. And I’m not shocked but I am still disappointed that Oblivion Remastered isn’t even getting a game key card for its Switch 2 release. It’s the latest edition of Morning Checkpoint, Kotaku‘s daily roundup of gaming news, rumors, and culture. I’m closely and cautiously monitoring the Xenoblade Chronicles 4 gossip in hopes it might secretly end up being one of Nintendo’s big fall games for this year. That feels slightly ahead of schedule…
Is it finally time to upgrade that aging Apple Watch that you’re charging twice a day? I have some great news for you!

Around 90% of people are infected with Epstein-Barr virus at some point in their lifetimes. For most of them, the virus causes a mild, transient illness or no symptoms at all. But for a subset of people, Epstein-Barr can eventually contribute to chronic illnesses, such as lupus and multiple sclerosis, or to the development of cancer.Now, new research uncovers 22 human genes that might make an Epstein-Barr infection more likely to turn into a chronic condition.Researchers can’t yet definitively say whether these genes directly make Epstein-Barr more dangerous, or whether they are part of an underlying immune suppression that allows…
When we say that NordVPN is a good VPN that’s not quite great, it’s important to put that in perspective. Building a good VPN is hard, as evidenced by all the shovelware VPNs flooding the market. NordVPN may not be perfect, but it’s easily top-five caliber and excels in certain use cases.First, the bad: NordVPN’s apps could all stand to undergo a little more quality control, with elements distracting from other elements and inconsistent designs from platform to platform. At least one of its FAQ pages directly contradicts itself. And while all the server locations could unblock Netflix, the one…
Just a few days ago we told you that the rumor mill was abuzz with talk that Verizon was going to show its Consumer Division chief Sowmyanarayan Sampath the door. According to Reuters, the carrier today announced the departure of Sampath as part of its culture change and attempted turnaround. Barron’s says that an internal email sent to employees indicates that Sampath will remain as CEO of Verizon’s Consumer Division until the end of the first quarter. Verizon paid Sampath $4 million last year to keep him as CEO of the Consumer DivisionVerizon’s new CEO, Dan Schulman, took over on October 6th…
Since the middle of last year, there have been at least three major AI “acqui-hires” in Silicon Valley. Meta invested more than $14 billion in Scale AI and brought on its CEO, Alexandr Wang; Google spent a cool $2.4 billion to license Windsurf’s technology and fold its cofounders and research teams into DeepMind; and Nvidia wagered $20 billion on Groq’s inference technology and hired its CEO and other staffers.The frontier AI labs, meanwhile, have been playing a high stakes and seemingly never-ending game of talent musical chairs. The latest reshuffle began three weeks ago, when OpenAI announced it was rehiring…
I do not fear many things in Overwatch, but I am beginning to fear Jetpack Cat. The flying feline hero is exactly what she sounds like, a cat that has endless flight and zooms around the map healing allies and pestering foes. However, she also has the ability to tether her teammates to her craft and fly them around the battlefield. The strategies and combos players have already found in just a brief early access period are incredibly chaotic. I played a little bit of Jetpack Cat myself when I tried my hand at all five of Overwatch’s new heroes…
