This smart new internet speed test blows Ookla out of the water

These days, our tech experiences are all about speed—and our expectations for instant action are actually kinda insane.

Think about it: Not so long ago, phones, computers, and especially the internet were all painfully slow (at least, by today’s sonic-speed standards). Things have come a long way in a short time. And for most of us now, if something doesn’t load within a fraction of second, we grow impatient and maybe give up entirely—like when a webpage has the a

Use this Google Flights “anywhere” hack to see where you can travel on your budget 

Memorial Day Weekend is upon us, marking the unofficial start of the summer vacation season in America. Yet, a recent Bankrate survey from late April found that only 46% of Americans plan to travel domestically or internationally this summer, with costs cited as the primary concern.

Protivná evoluční zátěž: Zuby nejsou tím, čím se zdají být

Až vás zase někdy budou bolet zuby, můžete se utěšovat tím, že v ústech vlastně nemáme mechanické drtiče potravy. Díky mimořádnému evolučnímu podrazu zuby nejspíš jsou bývalé smyslové orgány dávných rybovitých potvor, z nichž jsme se vyvinuli. Jejich pravěká smyslová funkce se redukovala na jedinou věc – přehnaně zesilují nepříjemné vjemy v ústné dutině. Zuby bolí omylem.

What’s actually driving the protein boom?

There’s a quiet transformation underway in how we eat. It’s not being led by chefs, influencers, or climate activists. It’s being driven by a new class of pharmaceuticals that are changing the way millions of people relate to food itself.

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy work by altering hunger signals in the brain. These medications don’t just help people feel full sooner. They are reshaping consumption patterns across the board. When hunger changes, everything from portion siz

9 of the most out there things Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei just said about AI

You may not have heard of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, but he’s one of a handful of people responsible for the current AI boom. As VP of Research at OpenAI, Amodei helped discover the scaling laws that project how much smarter an AI gets when given increasing amounts of computing power. He holds PhDs in physics and neuroscience and is probably a genius. Amodei, who left OpenAI in 2021 to found Anthropic, which claims to be a more safety-conscious AI company

Sorry, Google and OpenAI: The future of AI hardware remains murky

2026 may still be more than seven months away, but it’s already shaping up as the year of consumer AI hardware. Or at least the year of a flurry of high-stakes attempts to put generative AI at the heart of new kinds of devices—several of which were in the news this week.

Future prediction: The so-called modern web will die soon

For many years I have been advocating passionately against the so-called "modern web" because it is a poor excuse of saving money by doing so-called rapid deployment. Many web developers, front-end as well as back-end, haven't got even a basic understanding of the technology or the security involved in the work they do. What is worse is perhaps the fact that a lot of people are doing "modern web development" simply because they are blind followers of hype and trends. Hype and trends that dictate

How AI could supercharge ‘go direct’ PR, and what the media can do about it

In the past several years, the trend of “going direct” in public relations has gotten trendy. Broadly, the idea is that certain companies—mainly tech startups—stand a better chance of advancing their own narratives by sidestepping traditional PR and media altogether. Instead, the company founder, fellow executives, and partners would post content to the internet and social media to directly communicate with their customers.

There’s naturally been a lot of constern

Rozběsněná hvězda: Nejsilnější známá bouře na Slunci se odehrála před 14 300 lety

V roce 12350 před naším letopočtem se Slunce rozlítilo a odpálilo extrémní sluneční bouři.

Amazon’s Grubhub deal is delivering big results

Amazon and Grubhub are entering the second year of a five-year commercial agreement that gives Amazon Prime members access to the food delivery platform’s subscription program at no extra cost.

Forget return-to-office. Hybrid now means human plus AI

For the past few years, “hybrid work” has meant splitting time between home and office. And for the most part, people like it—flexibility, fewer commutes, more balance. But there’s a new hybrid model on the rise, and it has nothing to do with geography.

As Artificial Intelligence is woven into the fabric of business alongside humans and begins to help support human workloads, the future of hybrid work won’t only be defin

Roku is doing more than ever, but focus is still its secret ingredient

It’s easy to forget how big a splash the first Roku box made when it debuted on May 20, 2008. At launch, the device worked only with Netflix, best known at the time as a mail-order Blockbuster rival that was just ramping up its streaming service. The 10,000 movies and shows you could watch skewed toward the random and musty: Back then, Netflix’s mail-order DVD service offered 10 times as many titles.
