The latest mobile phone isn’t always the greatest. Despite a series of newer, updated Pixel 10 models, we still think the previous generation’s Pixel 9a is more than enough phone for most people. Not only does it have great battery life and feature support, but it often goes on sale for well under $500. In this case, Best Buy has the 128GB Pixel 9a discounted to just $399, and it’s available in all four colors: Iris, Obsidian, Peony, and Porcelain.Photograph: Julian ChokkattuPhotograph: Julian ChokkattuPhotograph: Julian ChokkattuPhotograph: Julian ChokkattuWhile we also like the newer Pixel 10 phones, which sport faster wireless…

Roblox launched an open-source AI model that early last year and now that toolset is getting a massive boost. The platform has introduced a model that . I put 4D in quotes because it doesn’t actually allow access to the fourth dimension, but rather lets users make interactive 3D objects via prompts.As suggested, these aren’t static 3D models. They are fully functional and interactive objects that move and react to players. The beta toolset can’t be used to make anything, as it’s rather limited for now. There are just two templates for users to choose from. Folks can make cars…
As a member of the Crew Operations Office, Erin Edwards and her team manage astronaut candidate training schedules, including field medical exercises, land survival, and underwater operations at NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory in Houston. She also develops and tests new training programs to keep crews mission-ready. Along with her role as a crew operations officer, Edwards works in the International Space Station Mission Control Center as a capsule communicator, or capcom, and instructor. As a capcom, she must be fluent in the language of the spacecraft and its operations to clearly relay important information to the crew, especially during dynamic operations. Read on to learn about Edwards’ career…
Infrastructure delivering updates for Notepad++—a widely used text editor for Windows—was compromised for six months by suspected China-state hackers who used their control to deliver backdoored versions of the app to select targets, developers said Monday.“I deeply apologize to all users affected by this hijacking,” the author of a post published to the official notepad-plus-plus.org site wrote Monday. The post said that the attack began last June with an “infrastructure-level compromise that allowed malicious actors to intercept and redirect update traffic destined for notepad-plus-plus.org.” The attackers, whom multiple investigators tied to the Chinese government, then selectively redirected certain targeted users…
Last year’s Jurassic World Rebirth was a totally fine, but not very memorable Jurassic Park sequel. That’s been most of what we’ve gotten from the dinosaur-filled franchise over the last decade or so. But if, like me, you crave something better, something more like the original books and film, then you should check out an ongoing YouTube series that is one of my favorite things on the internet. YouTuber Ali Awada has been making animated Jurassic Park videos since 2023. And while some of his earlier attempts weren’t highly polished, with choppy animations and weird edits, they showed that the…
If you don’t mind waiting 10 seconds for your Android phone to switch from Wi-Fi connectivity to a cellular connection, you might be down to make a quick settings adjustment on your phone that could extend the battery life of your Android handset. Right now, you probably have the Mobile Data Always Active setting on your Android phone enabled (which it is by default). With this setting on, your phone is always connected to cell signals even if you’re using Wi-Fi. Having it enabled means that when you turn off Wi-Fi or leave an area with Wi-Fi signals, your phone…

Five Months On The Deal Has Yet To Be Made Our least favourite RAM devourer announced a $100 billion investment deal with NVIDIA last September, but no money or products have changed hands as far as Ars Technica or anyone else can tell. NVIDIA have gone on record stating the $100 billion figure was never committed to, it was more of an aspiration or rough estimate. There are likely several reasons for the delay, not least of which is the power required to expand OpenAI’s infrastructure with the new NVIDIA hardware. The original plan mentioned up to 10 gigawatts of…
The NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) conducted a technical assessment to evaluate alternatives to dichloromethane, traditionally used for bonding transparent polymeric materials. This effort was initiated in response to potential regulatory restrictions under the EPA Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), which could impact critical bonding processes used in spaceflight hardware and experimental systems.
