I spent 6 months testing the Merrell Moab Speed 2s — and they’re the perfect lightweight boots for most hikers
I’ve spent six months testing the Merrell Moab Speed 2 hiking boots across a variety of terrain. I live in the countryside, have two dogs and enjoy hiking, so I need boots that can withstand regular and intensive use. And the Speed 2s can. They’re the new, light-ish version of Merrell’s medium-weight Moab boots, designed to be an all-rounder, like…

Billionaires want data centers everywhere, including space
Tech billionaires have been obsessed with space for a long time. Now, as the largest AI companies race to build more data centers in a frenzied pursuit of profitability, space is looking less like a pet project and more like a commercial opportunity.

I’ve tested the OnePlus 15R: It’s not the phone I expected
The OnePlus 15R charts an unusual path. Previous phones in OnePlus’ R-series have been simply more accessibly-priced versions of its main numbered flagship phones. But rather than be a cheaper version of the excellent OnePlus 15, the 15R has a whole new focus instead. The 15R is still less expensive than the 15, but not by as much. And while…

The OnePlus 15R’s battery life is unbeatable
The OnePlus 15R’s battery life is exceptional. It’s a smidge better than the very impressive OnePlus 15’s, and the 15R costs two hundred dollars less. So why am I having a hard time recommending it? Typically, OnePlus’ R-series phone is a simplified, less-expensive follow-up to the main flagship — in this case, the OnePlus 15. And technically, yeah, it meets…

10 years later, ‘The Force Awakens’ changed Star Wars for better (and worse)
At the end of Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” Cillian Murphy’s J. Robert Oppenheimer visualizes how his creation of the atomic bomb could one day destroy the world. Oppenheimer stares into the abyss, paralyzed by the fear of his decision and torn by the guilt of his actions. I can’t prove it, but I imagine that in the last few years, George…

A vague study on Nazi bots created chaos in the Taylor Swift fan universe
On December 9th, Rolling Stone published a story that some saw as a bombshell: a network of coordinated, “inauthentic” social media accounts had a hand in the weekslong discourse that trailed the release of Taylor Swift’s recent album, The Life of a Showgirl. It was a big deal for those in the Swiftie/anti-Swiftie universe. Immediately following the record’s release in…

How to watch The Ashes 3rd Test — free Australia vs England streams
Any England fans who’d found comfort in the notion that things could only get better probably weren’t banking on Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes leaving Shoaib Bashir, out of the 3rd Test. It’s not just that the Adelaide Oval is a spin-friendly venue — this is likely to be the hottest Test of The Ashes 2025/26. You can catch every…

Why Hypervisors are a Ransomware Magnet
Author: Dray Agha, Senior Manager, Hunt & Response, at Huntress Labs Hypervisors are the backbone of modern virtualized environments, but when compromised, they can become a force multiplier for attackers. A single breach at this layer can put dozens or even hundreds of virtual machines at risk simultaneously. Unlike traditional endpoints, hypervisors often operate with limited visibility and protections, meaning conventional…

Amazon’s Kindle Scribe Colorsoft won’t replace your notebook — or Kindle
I wanted to love Amazon’s $630 Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. It has everything I covet. An E Ink display with front lighting and color. A pressure-sensitive stylus. The ability to take notes and annotate my existing library of ebooks. A distinct lack of distracting apps. And, for a certain type of person, this is the sweet spot between an iPad, an…
