For our next round of Best of Black Friday features, we are diving into the most notable gear in the Google ecosystem. While we will certainly being seeing deals across the Googleverse, including its latest Pixel tablets and Chromecast devices, this po...
Apple launched the new M4 Mac mini with a complete redesign a few weeks ago, and we now have one of the first teardowns of the machine, showcasing what changes the company has implemented on the inside. iFixit is known for its in-depth teardown of Apple and products from other companies and provides how well it is designed for repairability. Apple has greatly reduced the size and overall footprint of the M4 Mac mini, so it will be interesting to see how the teardown goes. iFixit gives a 7 out of 10 repairability score to the redesigned M4 Mac mini […]
STALKER 2 will support DLSS 3.0 and with that, NVIDIA has already teased its numbers, claiming over 2X performance uplift compared to native resolution. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 GPUs with DLSS Performance Mode result in over 2x higher FPS at 4K, 1440p, and 1080p in the upcoming STALKER 2 title NVIDIA has announced official support for DLSS 3.0 in STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, set for release on Steam on 20th November. This means gamers who own RTX 40 GPUs can turn on DLSS 3.0 with Frame Generation from day one. That said, NVIDIA has released its numbers for the […]
SpaceX's first Starship test flight in April carries the risk of significantly delaying the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Artemis program to develop a sustainable human presence on the Moon, according to a report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO). NASA's Artemis III flight is currently planned to take off in 2025, and the GAO's report shares that several portions of SpaceX's Human Landing System (HLS) development are taking longer than NASA programs typically do based on average historical data. Other key constraints identified for a 2025 launch include delays with the new spacesuits that Axiom Space is designing […]
SpaceX's Starship rocket lifted off from the Boca Chica, Texas, test site earlier today after months of waiting and speculation. The world's largest rocket took off from the pad a little after 7 a.m. local time and, soon after its ascent, completed the crucial event of hot stage separation. However, based on initial footage, the first-stage Super Heavy rocket booster's engines did not re-ignite successfully after stage separation. Instead, the rocket exploded mid-air 75 kilometers above the Earth's surface. Yet, by this time, the second stage had traveled quite far, and it did not take any damage from the debris […]
With less than 24 hours left until liftoff, SpaceX has decided to swap out some components on its ST\tarship rocket. SpaceX's chief Elon Musk shared the news on his social media platform X, and the quick fix to the rocket came after a post by SpaceX on social media that it had stacked the second stage Starship on the first stage for the final time before launch. According to the SpaceX chief, machines inside Starship that control its landing apparatus are being changed. The last-moment decision came after SpaceX's live stream link for the Starship Integrated Flight Test 2 (IFT-2) […]
SpaceX has shared some of the best images of its fully stacked Starship rocket as less than a day remains before its historic test flight in Boca Chica, Texas. The FAA cleared Starship for its second test flight yesterday after a process that took seven months to complete. With the latest review, the agency and the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) evaluated whether new water deluge and fire suppression systems for the launch pad would require a new environmental approval. Fortunately for SpaceX and its fans, multiple tests conducted at the pad certified it, and ahead of tomorrow's launch, SpaceX […]
After considerable hype, SpaceX has received the launch license for its Starship test flight two and just like the first grant, the second license approval is limited to a single launch. It also comes with significant changes and requires SpaceX to work with the Fish and Wildlife Services (FWS) to monitor its launch site and the surrounding area for potential contamination. The FAA's written revaluation of SpaceX's Starship environmental approval also reveals that Starship will no longer be fully reusable for the period at least since SpaceX will discard the hot staging ring in the ocean and not recover it […]
According to a fresh X post by its chief Elon Musk, SpaceX's Starship rocket is on track to receive regulatory approval for a Friday launch. The highly anticipated second Starship flight will come seven months after the first test attempt in May that saw Starship successfully clear the launch pad but fail at the crucial stage of stage separation. The Starship program is crucial for SpaceX's future, as not only does a multi billion dollar NASA contract for a lunar lander depend on the rocket, but SpaceX's second generation Starlink satellites are also designed to utilize its super heavy lift […]
SpaceX can launch the Starship test flight as soon as next week should it receive regulatory approval, according to a fresh social media post from the company. Starship, the world's largest rocket, is currently being developed in Boca Chica, Texas, and just like its first test flight attempt in April, SpaceX is ready to launch pending regulatory approval. According to the company's post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), it can launch Starship as soon as on November 17th. SpaceX's latest estimate for Starship follows an uptick in development activities in Texas that have seen it test the […]
