HDMI is the de facto standard for connecting a monitor to a Mac and has been for many years, but there are many older Macs out there that can't be easily connected to that modern connector. Here's how to connect your vintage Mac to your new monitor.

The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro are expected to get some display changes. Here's what's believed to be on the way, thanks to the ever-grinding rumor mill.

Much money and time has been spent recently persuading people not to be so reliant on cars. And there are certainly good reasons—for our health and the environment—to move about more on foot, by bike or on trains.

The integration of all-solid-state batteries with sulfide electrolytes is emerging as a promising electrochemical system with potential advances in energy density. The demand for thin sulfides, especially those with high flexibility, superior ionic conductivity, and strong interfacial stability, is critical.

Nowadays, large language models (LLMs) are extensively applied in various situations, from writing to solving complex problems. However, how to effectively interact with artificial intelligence and explore its potential requires further attention.

It's happened to all of us at one point while browsing the web—somewhere along the way, you click on a broken link and get a message saying that the web page you are looking for doesn't exist.

Cambridge researchers have shown that members of the public have little trouble in learning very quickly how to use a third thumb—a controllable, prosthetic extra thumb—to pick up and manipulate objects.

Google recently unveiled its overhauled search engine that includes several features powered by artificial intelligence. One of those features, AI Overview, provides users with more direct answers to their queries.

The Singapore Airlines jetliner that hit severe turbulence last week went through huge swings in gravitational force in less than five seconds, likely causing the injuries to people who weren't buckled into their seats, according to a preliminary report Wednesday by Singapore's Transport Ministry.

Researchers at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS) have introduced a pair of high-tech tools that could improve the safety and reliability of autonomous vehicles by enhancing the reasoning ability of their robotic systems.

As technologists search for approaches to reduce our global carbon footprint and stave off the worst ravages of climate change, they are turning to an old friend—hydrogen. The potential of hydrogen fuel cells for generating power is enormous although not without issues.

Guinea-Bissau has launched a blockchain platform to manage civil servants' salaries and boost transparency in the corruption-plagued country, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said Wednesday.

Image privacy could be protected with the use of generative artificial intelligence. Researchers from Japan, China and Finland created a system which replaces parts of images that might threaten confidentiality with visually similar but AI-generated alternatives.

Systemic issues can put women's security at risk when artificial intelligence (AI) is adopted, and gender biases across widely used AI-systems pose a significant obstacle to the positive use of AI in the context of peace and security in South-East Asia.

Program retrieval remains a cornerstone of software development, crucial for boosting productivity throughout the development lifecycle. Amidst diverse program retrieval models, many have ignored the disparities between natural language queries and code, resulting in a prominent semantic gap.

A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a new machine-learning method that detects hate speech on social media platforms with 88% accuracy, saving employees from hundreds of hours of emotionally damaging work.

"Please enter the code within the next two minutes." The concept of one-time passwords (OTPs) has become a mainstay in our procedures for secure user verification in sensitive applications, such as government and financial services. Typically found in multi-factor authentication schemes, a standard OTP resists hacking attempts by imposing a time limit for users to input the given password.

All spent nuclear fuel that will be deposited in the bedrock will be measured with a method and device that have been developed in a doctoral research thesis being defended on 4 June 2024 at the University of Helsinki. The final disposal operations are being prepared to start next year in Finland.

Researchers at the University of Notre Dame are developing artificial intelligence tools that help consumers understand how they are being exploited as they navigate online platforms. The goal is to boost the digital literacy of end users so they can better control how they interact with these websites.

It’s about $4 cheaper.
