The FiiO M17 is, by the standards of portable music players, big in every respect: size, spec and price. Of course, what that big price rather insists upon is a big performance. Being pricey, lavishly specified and hefty enough to (in the words of Laurie Anderson) stun an ox is all well and good....

For the past weekend, I ran FireFox OS on my Nexus 5, running developer nightly builds from XDA while using the ElementalX Kernel and TWRP Recovery.

User Experience Firefox OS’s interface is the main reason I was drawn to testing the OS....

Interface and Design The interface of Flipboard is meant to feel like a magazine. You can flip through all of your saved categories to see the top news stories. Each category, on the pages, has an image related to the news story included in the respective section. To flip through all of your saved categories, simply flip your finger. For the news junkie, like me, you are restricted to four of these pages (six channels a page)....

The glass Regular phone screens are obviously not foldable, as you may have discovered if you’ve ever tried folding one. That’s because they’re typically made of several layers, including notably inflexible glass. Making the glass bend isn’t necessarily the hard part, though – current foldable phones have gotten around that issue by using plastic polymers, and manufacturers like Corning are working on making actual bendable glass. The Samsung Z Flip is one of the first to feature an actual glass screen (though there’s some debate over how much glass is actually in it), but most of them probably will in the future....

Who is behind all this? While SpaceX and their Starlink project make the news most regularly, there are actually several major players competing in this space....

There are different methods, each with a unique approach to a common problem, and each approach being used in different algorithms to reach a similar conclusion. Each algorithm is represented by a file format (PNG, JPG, GIF, etc.). For now, we’re going to talk about the methods that are generally used to compress images, which will explain why some of them take up so much less space....

The idea of losing one’s luggage affects the way some people plan their trips and even in some cases makes them less likely to travel by plane when cheaper alternatives are available. It’s shocking to see how we’ve been able to master countless technological achievements, yet we haven’t figured out how not to send a suitcase to Tokyo by the time your flight lands in Paris. But there is a way we can use what the 21st century has brought us to our advantage and minimize (and in some cases eliminate) baggage loss in flights....
