How ‘Subway Surfers’ has dominated mobile gaming for over a decade

For 13 years, Subway Surfers’ download rate has been consistent: about one million new installs every single day. 

Half of those downloads come from users upgrading to new devices. The other half comes from children aging into phone usage, and users in less developed countries reaching a level of affluence that allows them to purchase their first smartphones. This steady influx of players has made Subway Surfers the most downloaded mobile game of all time, wi

A new Roblox study shows how longer suspensions help curb bad behavior on platforms

Misbehavior on digital platforms can be tricky to manage. Issue warnings, and you risk not deterring bad behavior. Block too readily, and you might drive away your user base and open yourself to accusations of censorship. But a new study, presented at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, suggests a more effective path forward.

Researchers at Northeastern University and Roblox conducted two large-scale

5 must-use Microsoft Edge browser features to save time and money

You’d be forgiven for forgetting that there was a time when Microsoft Edge was basically the web browser that opened when you accidentally clicked a link that didn’t default to opening in Chrome or Firefox.

But something shifted in 2020 when Microsoft switched Edge’s digital drivetrain to Chromium, the technology that powers the Google Chrome browser and others like it.

Edge suddenly shed its awkward skin and emerged as a genuinely competent—nay, pleasant—browsing experie

Podle nové teorie je čas trojrozměrný a prostor je jenom stínem jeho slávy

Geofyzik s českými kořeny Gunther Kletetschka přetavil starší matematické představy o 3D času do podoby testovatelné teorie. Pokud má pravdu, žijeme ve světě šesti dimenzí, jehož strukturu primárně vytvářejí tři dimenze času. Byla by to zajímavá změna oproti klasickému časoprostoru. http://www.osel.cz/14127-podle-nove-teorie-je-cas-trojrozmerny-a-prostor-je-jenom-stinem-jeho-slavy.html

Umelá krv opäť ide do klinických testov, vypadá to nádejne

Umelá krv, ktorú by bolo možné jednoducho skladovať a prepravovať aj vo veľkých množstvách, by bola veľkým prínosom nielen pre armády a pre medicínu katastrof. Po dlhých rokoch výskumu však doposiaľ výsledné produkty nikdy nenaplnili očakávania. Nové riešenia so zapuzdreným hemoglobínom sú však veľmi sľubné. http://www.osel.cz/14126-umela-krv-op-t-ide-do-klinickych-testov-vypada-to-nadejne.html

Those security codes you ask to receive via text leave your accounts vulnerable. Do this instead

Do you receive login security codes for your online accounts via text message? These are the six- or seven-digit numbers sent via SMS that you need to enter along with your password when trying to access your bank accounts, health records, online photos, and more. This type of security is known as multifactor authentication (MFA) and is designed to keep your account secure even if someone knows your password. Without the additional security code, bad actors can’t gain access to your data. Or

This is the best online file converter—and it’s totally free

We were supposed to be finished with files by now.

For years, tech companies (well, certain tech companies) tooted their horns about a future in which files didn’t matter. You don’t even need a file manager of any sort, they told us—and, in fact, we won’t even let you see the file system on your devices at all. Just tap-a-tap-tap, don’t worry, be happy. Right?

Yeah—not so much. Here in the year o’ 2025, files absolutely still matter. Whether you

What is ‘office chair butt’? TikTok’s viral term for a real health problem

Rather than the Sunday scaries or toxic bosses, employees have unlocked a new workplace fear: office chair butt.

While not a new concern, the term has resurfaced on TikTok to describe how sitting for long stretches affects the look of your behind—what medical professionals call atrophy of your gluteal muscle group.

Jak kontrolovat vysloužilé jaderné reaktory ve vesmíru?

Pro efektivní a bezpečné využívání jaderných reaktorů ve vesmíru je nezbytné pochopit, jak dlouhodobě odolávají drsným podmínkám vesmírného prostoru. Pro ověření vlivu dlouhého pobytu reaktoru v tomto prostředí se dá využít studium vysloužilých reaktorů na oběžné dráze okolo Země.

Scroll through a TikTok feed, and you’ll eventually come across someone—usually incredibly photogenic, with perfect teeth and flawless skin—extolling the virtues of some product or another, or a restaurant, or a destination. And then another. And another.
