| Posted: 22 Apr 2022 02:33 PM PDT  Growing up in the '90s as Star Wars mania re-exploded with the rise of the Special Editions and the advent of The Phantom Menace, there were plenty of Star Wars toys to gawk at with desire as a little kid, from thiccly-chested Luke Skywalkers to more Jar Jars Binks than you could shake a gungan tongue at—and there… |
| NASA's 'Lunar Backpack' Could Prevent Astronauts From Getting Lost on the Moon Posted: 22 Apr 2022 02:12 PM PDT  The Moon is not the kind of place where you want to get lost, but it can get a little tricky trying to retrace your dusty footsteps without a GPS system in place.

| Posted: 22 Apr 2022 01:40 PM PDT  I know that Earth Day is April 22nd because companies won't stop emailing me about it. What began as a call to action for environmental protections is now just a marketing opportunity. |
| A Surveillance Firm Reportedly Tracked NSA and CIA Spies as a Product Demo Posted: 22 Apr 2022 01:35 PM PDT  There exists an underworld data broker market devoted to auctioning off your information to the highest bidder.

| Posted: 22 Apr 2022 12:55 PM PDT  Who's more annoyed at Binance right now? Is it the Russians who have been effectively barred from trading on its platform or maybe it's any graphic designer who would tell you not to make a company symbol look like a swastika, even accidentally? Perhaps it's anyone who has been begging the crypto company to stop… |
| Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Ethan Peck Teases Spock's Trials Posted: 22 Apr 2022 12:45 PM PDT  Ethan Peck's Mr. Spock has already been through a lot in modern Star Trek.

Things might be bold and bright… |
| You Can Now Buy This Modular Laptop's Mainboard for Your Own Frankenstein Project Posted: 22 Apr 2022 12:30 PM PDT  Got a DIY project in mind that requires a bit more horsepower than an Arduino offers?

| Scientists Say They’ve Created Crispier Chocolate Using 3D Printers Posted: 22 Apr 2022 10:30 AM PDT How food looks can have just as much impact on its taste as the ingredients that went into it, but all five human senses actually play a part in how we perceive and enjoy what we eat.
