After a year with the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, I can confidently say this phone is better…

Why flash drive capacity keeps increasing (and why small drives are rarely sold today)
Denser NAND has made yesterday's tiny capacities increasingly hard to justify. Once upon a time, 1GB of flash memory was serious capacity (and it wasn't cheap either). In early 2002, the industry was abuzz about JMTek's USBDrive and its up-to-1GB capacity. Today, that same capacity is tiny by consumer standards. Most of Kingston's current DataTraveler models start at 64GB, with some reaching 512GB. Storage got ridiculously cheap along the way, and the price collapse…

That old console buried in your closet could be worth more than you expect. Or it could still be worth roughly what you assumed when you shoved it behind a box of cables 15 years ago. Age alone is a pretty bad pricing guide. The exact model, whether…

The Moon's shadow raced across the heart of Spain, and I was there to see it

Standing in the shadow of the Moon is one of the rarest opportunities to directly sense the mechanics of our Solar System, when the dance between three celestial bodies slides into perfect alignment. It's a mathematical miracle whose rarity and grandeur are made possible by the relative sizes and distances of the Moon and the Sun from Earth. Not every planet is so lucky.
