At the second time of trying, Blue Origin successfully launched its orbital New Glenn rocket from Cape Canaveral in Florida on early Thursday morning ET. The first-ever launch of the New Glenn represents a major milestone for the Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, whose Blue Origin spaceflight company has now officially entered the orbital launch market and heavy-lift space industry, setting it up to compete with the likes of Elon Musk’s SpaceX. The countdown was far smoother than Sunday night’s launch attempt when the clock was paused multiple times before Blue Origin finally scrubbed the effort due to technical reasons. The…

I’m not deliberately torturing myself as I type these words with almost frozen fingers, as my weather app tells me it “feels like 1-degrees Celsius.” I’m actually testing the Realme 14 Pro Plus’ big party trick. When it gets cold, the back of the phone changes color, and between getting out of my warm car and now, it has changed from an off-white color with gold flecks to a frigid white with blue waves.…

Microsoft has announced that support for Microsoft 365 apps on Windows 10 will end this year on October 14, as reported by The Verge. This is also the end-of-support date for Windows 10 as a whole, but the move is still a little surprising considering that Microsoft is now offering the Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) Program. Anyone who joins this program for $30 can continue to safely use Windows 10 for a whole extra year — so you might think that Microsoft would let them continue to use the Office apps too. That said, it’s not like the…

A tipster now suggests that the purported devices, dubbed the iPhone 17 Air and Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim, may ship with much smaller battery capacities than their flagship equivalents.
