The Fujifilm X100VI Camera Is Worth the TikTok Hype

Buzz buzz. | Image: Bananbin I don’t think I’m going out on a limb when I say that not everyone agrees on the best way to handle their computer’s trash directory. Some folks like to let it go until their computer yells at them about storage, while others empty it every single day. I’m somewhere in the middle, but I do try not to let it go too far.

Scientists analyzing samples NASA brought back from an asteroid got a surprise detection that may mean the space rock was once part of a long-gone ocean world. What the team found was water-soluble magnesium-sodium phosphate in mottled stones — a mineral no one expected because it didn't show up in any of the data the spacecraft collected when it was at the asteroid Bennu. Phosphate compounds are key for all known life, forming the backbone of DNA.The new study's findings, published i

Watch out, Martians.Meteorites slam into Mars five times more than planetary scientists thought, a finding published in the journal Nature Astronomy. This makes impacts on the Red Planet about a daily occurrence. A 26-foot-wide (8-meter) crater forms almost each day, and a nearly 100-foot (30-meter) crater is created once a month. Previous estimates of these Martian impacts largely came from studying crater imagery on the moon and from Mars-orbiting craft. But unprecedented seismic data —

Even if you're not sold on robot vacuums, manual vacuuming still doesn't have to feel like a chore — not if you have an upright vacuum that you enjoy breaking out.
