just now (216+ words) The Government of Canada has also signalled its intention to award MDA Space the full contract in 2026 to build, test, and launch this additional radar imaging satellite, subject to final approvals and contract finalization. These awards fall under the federal RADARSAT+ initiative, a 15-year, $1.012 billion investment announced by the Canadian Space Agency in October 2023 to sustain and expand national satellite Earth observation capacity. RADARSAT+ provides funding for the RCM replenishment spacecraft and for early definition work on a next-generation national sovereign synthetic aperture radar satellite system that will succeed the current constellation. To support planning for this future SAR system, MDA Space has also received a $747,000 concept study contract. The study focuses on a modern, resilient radar satellite architecture designed to respond to growing demand from Canadian government users, industry, and communities for space-based Earth observation data, and MDA Space…...

(www.tiiny.ai), a US deep-tech AI startup, today unveiled the world's smallest personal AI supercomputer, the Tiiny AI Pocket Lab, officially verified by Guinness World Records under the category "The Smallest MiniPC (100B LLM Locally)." Also Read | Gen Z Protests Shake the World in 2025: List of Countries Hit by Youth-Led Agitations Fuelled by Social Media. The event marked the first global public unveiling of the Tiiny AI Pocket Lab. For the first time in AI supercomputing, a pocket-sized device is capable of running up-to a full 120-billion-parameter large language model (LLM) entirely on-device -- without cloud connectivity, servers, or high-end GPUs. Designed for energy-efficient personal intelligence, Tiiny AI Pocket Lab runs within a 65W power envelope. It can enable large-model performance at a fraction of the energy and carbon footprint of traditional GPU-based systems. Also Read | Vivo…...

14+ min ago (583+ words) Bad news for anyone waiting on Meta's answer to the Apple Vision Pro. The company has officially hit the brakes on its next-gen mixed reality glasses " code-named Phoenix " delaying the launch from late 2026 to the first half of 2027. Internal memos are floating around describing Phoenix as Meta's most direct rival to Apple's headset yet. But it looks like leadership at Reality Labs decided they needed more time to get it right rather than rushing a buggy product out the door. What Happened & Why Meta Is Delaying Phoenix Phoenix itself sounds like a serious piece of kit. It's got a goggle-like design that connects to an external computing puck. There was apparently a big internal debate about ditching the puck, but the engineers kept it to save weight on your face and keep the heat away from your head. The delay…...

15+ min ago (280+ words) In 2026, a new trend is emerging " the more sophisticated AI and image generation become, the more we value the "imperfection" of manual work. The glossy, digital, and often unrealistic picture has grown tiresome. Users are now looking for results that can simulate the real touch of a hand, the pressure of a graphite pencil, and the chaos of genuine crosshatching. Why it's the My Choice: The main advantage is control of the style. The program doesn't just apply a preset; it allows you to adjust the pencil hardness, the direction of the stroke, and the intensity of shadows. It genuinely looks like work done by a human. If you need a result that you can print and hang on the wall, this program is your choice. Try it for free: VanceAI continues to lead among browser-based solutions. In 2026, they updated…...

15+ min ago (938+ words) Want to get the most out of your ROG Ally, X, or Xbox console? These VRAM settings are essential for improving your gaming experience. The NEX Playground Interactive Gaming System surpassed the PlayStation 5 Slim in U.S. unit sales for the week ending November 22. Why would anyone in their right mind, buy a Playstation console a week BEFORE the upcoming Black Friday sales? I mean you'd have to be a legit moron or someone who couldn't care less about money. I'm surprised it even tracked. Please i want to know how much this Nex Playground console outsold Xbox. @Osvo0 No, it didn't outsell PS5, just "Slim". At this point a hot turd covered in burnt hair will outsell the bugger green brand. The real question is, who the fudge compares the sales to just a single type of the other console? What? Is that…...

17+ min ago (714+ words) Microsoft plans to make 2026 a defining year for Xbox, as the company will celebrate its 25th anniversary and set the course of its future. Microsoft is rolling out a new Xbox full screen experience for Windows 11 PCs, bringing a console-style, controller-friendly interface to desktops, laptops, and tablets. It offers an immersive, distraction-free way to play Xbox, Game Pass, and other PC games. Thanks for making things clear. Gabe must be bricking it. [Spoiler] Does not reduce Windows" overhead more than usual Windows 11 game mode. Yay. Release the files. Better late than never. This will make Windows feel at least usable on handheld PC"s even though it"s still an AI bloated OS that snoops on what you do and reports back to the mothership. Agree, but Microsoft is far too up it"s own arsehole to properly implement this "Xbox…...

17+ min ago (581+ words) Researchers in Germany have developed a DMSO-free fabrication process for tin-based perovskite solar cells that dramatically reduces ion density " over tenfold lower than in lead-based devices " leading to improved stability. Image: Michael Setzpfandt, HZB A research team led by researchers from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin f'r Materialien und Energie (HZB) and the University of Potsdam in Germany has developed an alternative dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) process for tin-based perovskite solar cells, finding lower ion density compared to lead-based devices. The team said that the ion density was investigated in four solar cells, each fabricated with widely used perovskite compositions: one was a lead (Pb)-based 21.5%-efficient triple-cation perovskite solar cell, with a Cs0.05(MA0.02FA0.98)0.95Pb(I0.98Br0.02)3 composition, referred to as CsMAFAPbI3 in the study. Another was a 14.2%-efficient device incorporating tin (Sn) with a 50:50 Pb-Sn ratio as the B-site cations in a (Cs0.1MA0.3FA0.6)(Pb0.5Sn0.5)I3 perovskite composition. The third was a…...

18+ min ago (641+ words) It's been a couple of days since Samsung launched its One UI 8.5 beta, and so far, it's off to a solid start. My colleague Robert Triggs had almost nothing but good things to say in his One UI 8.5 beta hands-on, praising the update for its enhanced customization features and updated Samsung apps. I've been using the One UI 8.5 beta on a Galaxy S25 since the update was released, and while I agree with all of Rob's praise for the software, I can't help but feel uneasy about it. Specifically, how much One UI 8.5 makes my Samsung phone feel like an iPhone. Samsung has never shied away from taking "inspiration" from Apple, but it feels like the company has gone a step too far with One UI 8.5. One of the best examples of this is the new Quick Settings interface. One UI…...
