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 made history earlier today after it became the first company in the world to successfully catch a 232 feet tall rocket as part of a re usability attempt. The catch came after SpaceX's Starship Flight 5 today, which took off from Boca Chica, Texas, early in the morning. With Starship being caught by the tower, SpaceX has completed an important milestone in its test campaign. All eyes are now on the second stage Starship spacecraft and whether it successfully completes a soft splashdown in the Indian Ocean. Starship's tower catch was its riskiest endeavor to date, and SpaceX's ability […]
In its response to a lawsuit by the environment group Save RGV, SpaceX argues that halting Starship tests in Texas will cost the firm millions of dollars daily and risk its ability to earn revenue and milestone payments for agreements that it has signed with the Air Force and other bodies. SpaceX's water deluge system for the Starship Super Heavy booster requires releasing copious amounts of water to cool the pad during launch, and in its complaint filed yesterday, Save RGV sought the court to stop SpaceX from using the deluge system until its claims were addressed. In its response […]
With the weekend with us, SpaceX is moving full speed ahead to conduct the fifth Starship test flight on Sunday. Starship Flight 5 was dealt with a setback last month after SpaceX revealed that the FAA's license approval was taking longer than expected and would likely see Flight 5 delayed to late November, as per the agency's estimates. However, things took a dramatic turn this week after the FAA's initial airmen notices and NASA's schedule for its observation aircraft both hinted that Flight 5 might take place in October. SpaceX confirmed later that Flight 5 could fly as soon as […]
After SpaceX's rather dramatic reveal earlier this week, which announced that it was ready to launch Starship Flight 5 as soon as on Sunday, true to form, the firm is making last minute pre launch preparations. Footage from local media in Texas, where SpaceX builds and tests its Starship rocket, shows that teams are now installing explosives on the rocket after the second stage was de-stacked from the Super Heavy booster earlier. These explosives, called a flight termination system (FTS) indicate an intent to launch since they cannot be placed indefinitely on a rocket. SpaceX Installs Flight Termination System Explosives […]
SpaceX has picked up the pace with its Starship Flight 5 preparations in Texas, as after tank tests yesterday, the firm confirmed on social media that Starship Flight 5 could take place as soon as Monday. The announcement was the first for Starship after SpaceX's previous post confirmed that the launch could be delayed until November because of regulatory approvals. SpaceX's objectives for Flight 5 shared before today's announcement had included a tower catch for the Super Heavy booster as part of the firm's bid to build the world's first super heavy lift reusable rocket system. SpaceX Ready To Fly […]
After its recovery ships were spotted near the splashdown zone of the Super Heavy booster for the fourth Starship test flight last week, SpaceX has recovered pieces of the rocket from the ocean, according to a fresh image shared by Elon Musk. Musk and SpaceX are waiting for the FAA's approval for the fifth Starship test flight, which can take place in November at the earliest. Starship Flight 5 will be the first test in SpaceX's campaign to catch the booster with the launch tower's catch arms. The Flight 4 booster's recovery is also the first time that SpaceX has […]
SpaceX is continuing to prepare for Starship Flight 5 in Texas as it waits for the FAA's approval, which should come by late November at the earliest. After testing the tower catch arms yesterday, the firm shared moments back that it had lifted the 232-foot-tall Super Heavy booster at the launch tower to simulate a catch attempt. A tower catch is key for Starship's rapid reusability, and the booster lift is the first time that SpaceX has lifted the massive rocket to the full height required for a catch during a test. SpaceX Moving Full Speed Ahead To Test Starship's […]
