The Trump administration’s efforts to strong-arm Beijing-based ByteDance into selling its U.S. subsidiary TikTok to an American company are closing in, with enterprise software giant Oracle attempting to get regulators to clear a deal.

“It’s the worst, but I just can’t delete Facebook,” the increasingly common refrain goes — at which point the person in question will make a melodramatic show of how successfully the no good, very bad company has successfully allowed them to offload their social responsibilities. Chief among these? Remembering birthdays.
Say hello to iOS 14, which is rolling out as a free over-the-air software upgrade for iPhones right now (if you have an iPhone 6s or newer, then you’ll see it today). The latest version of iOS brings with it a whole host of new features and improvements, and we’ve…
Any interior designer will tell you a splash of colour can really help a room pop, but what if your goal is creating a space that’s boring and entirely forgettable? Instead of reaching for a vibrant shade from Benjamin Moore, just grab a can of this Commodore 64-coloured spray paint…
We’ve known for some time that the Expanse book series (written by Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, known together as James S.A. Corey) would probably be coming to an end with its ninth entry. What we haven’t known is the title of that book, or when to expect it — until…
You had us at “time-bending sci-fi film starring the next Captain America.” But it seems there’s much more going on than just that in the new film Synchronic.
One of the more shocking things to come out of genre films as of late was the reality that Detective Pikachu was actually a ridiculously solid movie — the sort of video game film that properly demonstrated that video game adaptations don’t have to be bad. Apparently, Nintendo has taken…
It wasn’t long ago that action cameras were in an arms race to make the smallest possible device. In fact, a smaller profile was one of the things GoPro was boasting about just last year with the launch of the Hero8 Black. So, it’s a bit of a surprise that…
Garmin is the MVP when it comes to GPS-tracking watches made for athletes. Every serious runner in my life swears by their Garmin, despite the fact that you can easily find a cheaper, a more stylish, lifestyle-focused smartwatch with GPS built right in (which was not the case when Garmin…
Throughout antiquity, from the Mediterranean to Egypt and today’s Middle East, people believed that misfortune, including accidents, diseases, and sometimes even death, were caused by external forces. Be they gods or other types of supernatural forces (such as a daimon), people — regardless of faith — sought magical means of…

The Apple ecosystem has expanded vastly in recent years, meaning you can now sign up for its game exclusives, music, movie and TV streaming services as well as news and health offerings. It’s all gotten a bit confusing but Apple has a cheaper solution: Apple One. During Apple’s ‘special but…
National security is like sausage-making. We might enjoy the tasty product, but want to look away from the manufacturing. Recent news that Chinese company Zhenhua Data is profiling more than 35,000 Australians isn’t a surprise to people with an interest in privacy, security and social networks. We need to think…
It’s September, which it means its time for a new Apple hardware event. In this case, it was quite literal because the Apple Watch Series, as well as the iPad Air, were the focus this year. As predicted last week, this was not an iPhone 12 launch. Here’s everything we…
The new electric Hummer will debut next month to eventually do battle with the Tesla Cybertruck, if and when that latter vehicle materialises. GM had previously hinted one of the Hummer’s tricks would be crab-related, and now we get to see it in action a little bit.

Facebook’s plan to combat climate misinformation running rampant on its site is here. It is a… “climate science information centre” of facts, figures, and news stories about the climate crisis that obscures the systematic changes needed to address climate change while peddling tips that mirror Big Oil talking points.

There’s a lot to love about Lenovo’s laptops. They’re designed well. They’re reasonably priced for the specs. They’re reliable. I’ve tested a few and owned a few over the years, and it seems like every new model improves on the last. All that definitely applies to this IdeaPad Slim 7….
