If you’ve been scrolling through your feed lately, you’ve probably seen them—those hilarious, oddly specific, and totally creative ChatGPT blister pack action figures.

Apple Maps has officially made its way to Android, but don’t get too excited just yet.

OpenAI has introduced its latest AI tool, Operator, as a research preview, marking a significant advancement in artificial intelligence applications. Operator is a Computer-Using Agent (CUA) based on the GPT-4o model, designed to perform web-based tasks autonomously. It incorporates multimodal capabilities, enabling it to search the web, interpret search results, and interact with on-screen elements much like a human user. However, despite its promising capabilities, the tool has encountered criticism regarding performance inconsistencies, high pricing, and limited accessibility.

Imagine a computer so powerful it could crack encryption like a hot knife through butter, simulate molecules for next-gen medicine, or solve problems that would take today’s supercomputers millennia.

Microsoft has unveiled a groundbreaking development in quantum computing: the Majorana 1 chip. Powered by a newly discovered state of matter, known as a topological superconductor or "topoconductor," this breakthrough could accelerate the transition of quantum computing from theory to real-world applications. But what does that mean? Unlike traditional computers, which process information in binary (0s and 1s), quantum computers use qubits that can exist in multiple states simultaneously. Imagine solving a giant maze: while classical computers explore one path at a time, quantum computers explore many paths at once, drastically cutting down the time needed for complex calculations.

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5080, set to launch on January 30, 2025, has generated significant anticipation among gamers and creators alike. Recent benchmark leaks from a Redditor revealed Blender performance results for the GeForce RTX 5080, providing valuable insights into how it compares to its predecessor, the RTX 4080.

Data is exploding at an unprecedented rate. Every second, AI models churn out complex computations, scientific research generates massive datasets, and cloud storage, streaming services, and financial records pile up at an insane pace.

We upgrade phones, swap out laptops, and toss old gadgets like they’re nothing. But ever wonder where all that junk ends up? Nope, it doesn’t just disappear.
