Rarely will we see Elon Musk rendered speechless and it takes one genius to achieve this herculean feat. In one such incident, Google DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis exposed a fundamental flaw in Musk's plan to colonise Mars, leaving him flummoxed…

The Lenovo Legion Go is impressive. That’s not necessarily a good thing, but it certainly leaves an impression. As you can read in our Lenovo Legion Go review, its massive screen and unique features stand out among other handheld gaming PCs. But in my testing, it shows some strange issues compared to the similarly priced Asus ROG Ally. The Legion Go and ROG Ally are very similar devices, packing similar specs and pricing, and both running Windows 11. They’re among the most powerful handheld gaming PCs on the market…

Marvel fans, in particular, are known to pay close attention to every piece of content thrown at them, making it so that very little gets past them. It takes one look at social media to tell you they’re not willing to forget, either, as even now, five years after its premiere, viewers maintain a gripe with one of the biggest superhero blockbusters ever. We’re talking about Avengers: Infinity War, of course, which made…

The Earth got lucky once again as it narrowly missed the incoming coronal mass ejection (CME) cloud and escaped what could have been a terrifying solar storm event. This is the third time in two months that the Earth has barely escaped being sideswiped by a CME wave. But how long can this luck actually last? That is what astronomers are wondering as six giant sunspots are facing the Earth. With such a high number of active regions on the Sun, it seems inevitable that one of them will blast a CME that can cause a solar…

Passkeys promise to replace the username and password combination that we've all been using for decades and you're probably going to need a way to manage them. 1Password was already known to have plans to support passkeys and now that support is closer than ever.1Password will reportedly allow people to take its passkey support for a spin starting June 6, although there are some caveats that need to be noted before you go diving in.Obviously, passkeys aren't yet supported by all websites, but beyond that, there are some…

Photo by Unique Nicole/WireImage Marvel fans are notoriously critical, but they are not critical for any old reason. Okay, maybe we are, but that doesn’t mean our standards for storytelling are outrageously unreasonable. It’s not overly critical to say Wanda Maximoff’s storyline in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness undermined the character’s story arc in WandaVision. Gaslight all you want, but it’s just not. And thankfully, we now have Elizabeth Olsen to back us up.  While sitting down with Vanity Fair…

Apple’s latest ‘entry-level’ iPad is arguably the most controversial tablet it has ever made. It just doesn’t feel like the low-cost, no-brainer, and ever-reliable iPad that we’ve grown to love over the years. The asking price of $450 is a deterrent from the get-go, and Apple realizes that, too, which is why the aging $329 model is still on the shelf. In his iPad (10th Gen, 2022) review, Digital Trends’ Joe Maring highlighted the new and improved design, the vibrant screen, a sufficiently fast processor, and good…
