panumas nikhomkhai/Shutterstock Given its prevalence in modern life, it would be easy and fair to assume that the cloud provides an unlimited means of storing data for easy access. Of course, nothing in this life is truly unlimited, and cloud storage is no exception. Rather than being literally unlimited, it might be more accurate to say that cloud storage is “realistically” unlimited, as it has sufficient capacity to store a typical amount of data of the average user, especially in a frequent use scenario. Cloud storage doesn’t work like you…

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. The Whoop Group pioneered the concept of a discreet, screen-free fitness device over a decade ago. Since then, other wearable brands have developed a screen-less model for their flagship health and fitness trackers. We’ve already compared the Fitbit Air and Whoop screenless fitness bands, but now another big name is joining the trend: Garmin. The new Garmin Cirqa Smart Band is available to order now and it’s just as minimalist as its Whoop rival. Screenless wearables track various fitness and health metrics, from heart…

Apple’s 20th Anniversary iPhone is expected to arrive in fall 2027 with the most significant design overhaul the device has seen since the iPhone X. In many ways, the device is expected to repeat the history of the iPhone X, which marked the device’s 10th anniversary in 2017 by removing the Home button and introducing an edge-to-edge display. The 2027 model is rumored to overhaul the design language that has defined the iPhone since then and will likely define the model for years to come. The device is most likely launching in fall 2027 alongside the second-generation foldable iPhone. All-glass…

Yuganov Konstantin/Shutterstock OLED TVs have long been praised for their inky blacks, impressive contrast and rich colors, but the glossy screens on most of these TVs can also pick up distracting reflections from nearby light sources. If you look at a well-lit scene, you probably won’t notice anything. But if your watch party is at night or in a dark room, then that lamp behind you, or a light-filled window, may look like part of the image on the screen. This is one of the annoying downsides of OLED TVs,…

The internet seems to have a knack for falling apart just when you have to answer an important call or meet a work-from-home deadline, or just when the plot twist hits whatever you’re streaming. As inconvenient as it may seem, there’s a good chance that one of the many blinking lights on your router will tell you exactly why your Internet connection is down. Verizon routers are no different from other routers in this regard, thanks to the LED status indicator panel you can find on the front. Each color has its own meaning,…

NASA/Getty Images An Italian and German team has made a major research breakthrough by demonstrating that permanent magnets could play a central role in protecting astronauts from radiation when traveling in space. Radiological events such as galactic cosmic rays and solar flares are among the most common hazards addressed by researchers and are an important consideration for current and future deep space missions. The research team packed 1,482 permanent neodymium-iron-boron magnets, each measuring 1.6 square inches, into an 11-square-foot array that ended up weighing 661 pounds. The array deflected about…
