Summary Howard Stern’s show arrives on HBO Max Sept 17 as weekly filmed adaptations; SiriusXM remains the Monday original. HBO Max will air adapted episodes three days after the SiriusXM broadcast; extras are released periodically. The move gives HBO Max fresh weekly content to boost engagement and help justify subscription costs. After years of success with celebrity interviews and social commentary, Howard Stern is bringing The Howard Stern Show to HBO Max. HBO Max partnered with Stern’s production company and SiriusXM to release filmed episodes of the long-running radio program. The series is to debut worldwide on Thursday, September 17,…
Summary New computational model predicts optimal temperatures and speeds to strengthen interlayer bonding in FFF prints. Saves time/material and cuts trial-and-error by auto-tuning print conditions for reliable strength. Integrates with slicers or sensors for dynamic control; enables stronger, production-ready parts. A new computational model for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printing directly addresses one of the biggest problems with 3D-printed parts: weak bonds between layers. In regular 3D printing, objects are made by stacking up thin layers of melted plastic. The places where these layers touch are usually the first to break when the object is stressed, leading to cracks…
TV trends come and go, and right now, we are in the throes of a science fiction revolution. Just this year, networks have aired a lot of brand-new sci-fi series or at least aired new episodes of sci-fi shows that started a couple of years back. If you’ve fallen behind, now is a great time to catch up on these classics-in-the-making.

Somewhere in a drawer near you, beneath a tangle of dead Micro-USB chargers and perhaps even an old Argos catalogue, there might be an iPhone 5C. You know the one I mean – plasticky, colourful and very cheerful, perfectly content with its small, dainty build, rounded corners and single rear camera lens. Oh, what a lovely phone it was in its day. For years, it’s been sitting there doing absolutely nothing. Slowly getting older and more redundant (software support for it ended in 2017), sinking further to the bottom of the drawer and judging you for upgrading to your fancier…
Summary Geniatech unveils full-color e-paper with animated partial-refresh (blinds, ripples, gradients). FPGA-driven 8-bit grayscale phase-shifting with 2D LUT sequence effects under 500 ms without extra power use. Held in-house for commercial signage, e-posters and smart displays — not yet licensed to consumer brands. Geniatech has just launched its new e-paper technology, incorporating dynamic, animated transitions on full-colour e-paper. Unlike the standard e-paper displays found in e-readers such as the Kindle, which are limited to black and white and offer only simple updates—typically a basic flash or a wipe—these dynamic transitions are integrated directly into the partial-refresh process, allowing the e-paper…
You could describe Apple One like a meal deal. No, you don’t get a sandwich, a drink, and a packet of crisps for the starting price of $21.95/£18.95, but you do get a few things bundled in. Much like a meal deal, the bundle of services (rather than sandwiches) makes it feel like you’re saving money, even if you’ve never opened Fitness+ in your life and have never even heard of Apple Arcade. With iOS 27 landing, the meal deal is about to get a little better, too – think of it as an extra couple of cookies thrown in.…
Most of us treat HDMI as the cable that sends video from a laptop, console, or streaming box to a screen, and for the most part, it is, but that’s only a fraction of the story. Tucked inside that single connector are several extra data channels that handle audio, remote control commands, network traffic, and even display configuration — all without a separate wire in sight. If you’ve ever plugged in one HDMI cable and had your soundbar, TV, and streaming stick magically start working together, you’ve experienced this hidden functionality firsthand. That HDMI connector has way more features than…
More than 60 years after the female contraceptive pill became available, men who want to take control of contraception have two options – use a condom, or have a vasectomy. Like truly bezel-less smartphones though, we’ve been touted a male birth control pill for decades, with not much to show for it. But wait! Something more concrete is finally happening – two hormone-free pills are now being tested in humans, and they take completely different approaches. Here’s how close the male pill really is… What is the male birth control pill? First things first – there isn’t one definitive male…
Microsoft’s iPad, Sega’s Kinect and how Apple nearly invented the World Wide Web – yes, really Technology isn’t just about having bright ideas. It’s about having those ideas at the right time. Time it right and untold riches await – but it can be the right idea yet turn up too early and you’ll end up as a footnote to someone else’s success story. Here are ten technologies that could have been contenders for the big time. But it was a case of right idea, wrong time! Sega’s Kinect You plug it into your games console, it watches you move…
August is usually the quiet month for new watches. The Swiss industry shuts down and everyone heads off on holiday. Not this year. Between anniversary collections, motorsport tie-ins and a couple of genuinely left-field collaborations, there’s a huge amount to get through. Here’s every new watch worth knowing about. 1. Omega Speedmaster 38mm Omega has refreshed its compact Speedmaster 38mm line with seven new references, and the changes are more significant than they first look. For a start, the oval subdials have been swapped for round ones, the dial text has been pared back, and the bezels are thicker to…
