The All-Clad Factory Seconds Sale Is Back—for Now (2026)

My VPN was blocking my printer and Chromecast — and the fix took 10 seconds

My VPN was blocking my printer and Chromecast — and the fix took 10 seconds

If you are someone who relies on a seamless home network, you expect your devices to work in sync. Your phone talks to your TV, your PC talks to your printer, and everything just works in a perfect rhythm, until one day it stops. You try to print your documents or cast your phone to a TV only to find that your printer and Chromecast are not showing up. You spend hours trying to troubleshoot the problem by restarting the router, reinstalling the drivers, and checking the hardware. You find that neither your Wi-Fi nor the hardware is broken, but the real culprit was the VPN app that you are using. Virtual Private Network, aka VPN, protects your online activities by masking your IP address by creating a secure tunnel. But in this pursuit, your VPN also walled off your local network. Here’s how you can fix it in a few seconds. Related Flip this one VPN setting and your speed might jump It’s surprising how much of a difference playing with this one VPN …

When Your Phone Pings, It Hijacks Your Brain for 7 Seconds, Study Finds

When Your Phone Pings, It Hijacks Your Brain for 7 Seconds, Study Finds

The ping or buzz of your phone that lets you know a new message has arrived is hard to ignore. But it can mean trouble when you’re trying to concentrate on a task, according to a new study that will be published in the June issue of the journal Computers in Human Behavior.  The study found that whenever we receive a message notification, it interrupts our concentration for 7 seconds. It turns out that the type of information that we see in the notification also matters. The more personally relevant the notification, the larger the distraction. “This interruption likely arises from several mechanisms, such as [a notification’s] perceptual prominence, the conditioning acquired through repeated exposure, and the possible social significance,” Hippolyte Fournier, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland and the study’s first author, told CNET. While 7 seconds may not seem like much, we get a lot of notifications throughout the day, and those seconds can add up.  “We observed that both the volume of notifications and how often individuals check …

What brain waves reveal about people who can solve a Rubik’s Cube in seconds

What brain waves reveal about people who can solve a Rubik’s Cube in seconds

A recent study published in Experimental Brain Research provides evidence that elite Rubik’s Cube solvers use the exact same brain patterns to mentally plan their moves as they do to physically execute them. This research suggests that highly trained experts mentally solve the entire puzzle before even touching it. These findings help explain how the human brain adapts to handle complex tasks that require intense thinking and fast physical movement at the same time. Humans generally struggle to perform difficult mental calculations while executing precise physical movements. For example, a person texting on a smartphone tends to walk much slower because the brain cannot easily dedicate its full capacity to both thinking and moving at the exact same time. Solving a Rubik’s Cube is an incredibly demanding activity. It requires a person to analyze color patterns, memorize those patterns, and predict how the puzzle will look multiple steps into the future. But professional speed-cubers can complete this puzzle in a matter of seconds. “We humans can use our brains to perform difficult actions. We control …

Kilo launches KiloClaw, allowing anyone to deploy hosted OpenClaw agents into production in 60 seconds

Kilo launches KiloClaw, allowing anyone to deploy hosted OpenClaw agents into production in 60 seconds

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, the distance between a developer’s idea and a functioning agent has historically been measured in hours of configuration, dependency conflicts, and terminal-induced headaches. That friction point changed today. Kilo, the AI infrastructure startup backed by GitLab co-founder Sid Sijbrandij, has announced the general availability of KiloClaw, a fully managed service designed to deploy a production-ready OpenClaw agent in under 60 seconds. By eliminating the “SSH, Docker, and YAML” barriers that have gatekept high-end AI agents, Kilo is betting that the next phase of software development—often called “vibe coding”—will be defined not just by the quality of a model, but by the reliability of the infrastructure that hosts it. Technology: Re-engineering the agentic sandbox OpenClaw has emerged as a viral phenomenon, amassing over 161,000 GitHub stars by offering a capability that many proprietary tools lack: the ability to actually perform tasks—controlling browsers, managing files, and connecting to over 50 chat platforms like Telegram and Signal. However, as Kilo co-founder and CEO Scott Breitenother noted in an exclusive interview …

David Lynch Being a Madman for a Relentless 8 Minutes and 30 Seconds

David Lynch Being a Madman for a Relentless 8 Minutes and 30 Seconds

Mad­man or vision­ary? A lit­tle of both? A genius? A brand? A men­sch? David Lynch was all these things and more, and this fan-made video above serves as a quick reminder of the career and the con­sis­ten­cy of the film director/artist/transcendental med­i­ta­tor who passed away last year. Ear­ly in the video we see one of the director’s pub­lic­i­ty stunts, when he sat in a chair on the cor­ner of La Brea and Hol­ly­wood, next to a cow and a large poster of Lau­ra Dern. No, the cow had noth­ing to do with the film he was promoting—2006’s Inland Empire—but it did stop traf­fic and draw atten­tion. Lynch didn’t have an adver­tis­ing bud­get to pro­mote Lau­ra Dern’s lead role in the film, so the cow had to do. Lau­ra Dern appeared in a major­i­ty of Lynch’s films begin­ning with 1986’s Blue Vel­vet, and the video hon­ors their friend­ship (he called her “Tid­bit”) as well as his col­lab­o­ra­tions with Kyle MacLach­lan (who Lynch called “Kale”) and Nao­mi Watts. All three obvi­ous­ly adored him. There’s also a com­pi­la­tion …

Chilling selfie shows man on railway seconds before train killed him | UK | News

A man has died after reportedly posing for a selfie on a railway line. The 32-year-old was hit by a high-speed train on Sunday morning in Laksam, Bangladesh. The image shows Mohi Uddin, a tuk tuk driver, standing dangerously close to the steel rails. He is understood to have gone to Bagmara market when he stepped onto the Dhaka–Chittagong railway line. According to reports, witnesses told local outlet JagoNews24 that Uddin stood on the tracks to take a selfie, which he reportedly posted on his Facebook account. However, others say Uddin was talking on his phone while standing close to the railway line. Just moments after this, a train struck him, killing him instantly.

Police are preparing to hand over his body to his family once legal procedures and the autopsy are complete.
