The State Department is wiping the post history of its X accounts and making it so you’ll have to file a Freedom of Information Act request if you want to access any of the content it removed, according to NPR. The publication reports that the State Department is removing all posts from before President Trump’s current term — a move that affects several accounts associated with the department, including those for US embassies, and posts from the Biden and Obama administrations. Posts from Trump’s first term will be taken down too.Unlike how past administrations have handled the removal of social…

Richards had been using a smartphone since he was 11 years old and grew up with the device like most Gen Z and millennials. However, in the past few years, he noticed social media didn’t feel as fun anymore with artificial-intelligence slop dominating his feed, influencers advertising brands, and constant lifestyle comparison.”I think people back then…

We’re reporting a case of the winter blues… but not the one that causes your seasonal affective disorder to linger around ’til spring. It’s the cobalt blues—and like the snow in New York City—it’s everywhere.First endorsed in 2025, it took—like most bolder trends—a few seasons to marinate in the zeitgeist and gain momentum. On the spring 2026 runways, cobalt blue, also known as IKB, or colloquially Klein Blue (per the artist Yves Klein) made a significant statement—reflecting the broader shift toward expressive dressing. The saturated hue appeared in color-blocked accents at Loewe, Jil Sander, and Wales Bonner; then head-to-toe at…

The final exposure control feature is one I use a lot, and it’s exposure compensation. This works with the auto exposure and can be used to combat the tendency to go too slow with the shutter speed be forcing the Ace Pro 2 to underexpose the image. The exposure comp here is the best among action cameras, running from –4 stops to + 4 stops in ⅓-stop increments. I set the Xplorer Grip to control EV, so when I am in auto mode, the dial is an exposure comp dial just like “real” camera. (The dial can also be set…

I’m an awful rock climber. Being scared of heights probably doesn’t help. But when I’ve tried it, I’ve loved the slow, methodical work of moving from one ledge to the next. It reminds me a lot of why I love running; in both sports, you achieve goals that seem insurmountable by taking them one step at a time. Cairn, a new game from The Game Bakers, is one of the few games I’ve played that truly captures that feeling.You play as Aava, a famous climber obsessed with summiting a mountain called Kami. You climb by moving all four of Aava’s…

If you primarily want a tablet device to mark up, highlight, and annotate your e-books and documents, and perhaps sometimes scribble some notes, Amazon’s new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft could be worth the hefty investment. For everyone else, it’s probably going to be hard to justify the cost of the 11-inch, $630+ e-ink tablet with a writeable color display. However, if you were already leaning toward the 11-inch $549.99 Kindle Scribe — which also has a paper-like display but no color — you may as well throw in the extra cash at that point and get the Colorsoft version, which starts…

In an update on its blog, Valve says its goal is still to ship the Steam Frame, Steam Controller, and Steam Machine in the “first half of the year.” But it also indicates that specifics around pricing and launch dates are in flux, saying that “limited availability and growing prices” on storage and memory are forcing Valve to “revisit” these issues. That sounds a lot like price increases, something that nearly every PC manufacturer has already warned about in new products coming in 2026. Companies like Dell and HP are doing everything they can to secure supply, including working with…
