I feel the need to be frank and say that I always perceived Sonic the Hedgehog as something of a tryhard. I think it’s fine to be a blue hedgehog who goes against the stereotype and runs fast instead of slowly ambling about and eating slugs. However, I don’t think it’s cool to be an arrogant little jerk about it. While I have often appreciated Sonic for his speed, I have always questioned his strangely superior attitude....

Apple tends to be a relatively conservative company these days when it comes to new product releases.iPhones, iPads, Macs, and even the fashion-inflectedApple Watchtend to take small evolutionary steps each year, if they get updated at all. The company might be said to be a little more progressive when it comes to software, since it’s making a big bet withApple Intelligence, but even then it’s mostly playing catch-up with Google’s AI advancements....

iOS developer PoomSmart is back again this week with another couple of YouTube app improvementjailbreak tweaks, carrying the names ofYouTube XandYTUnShorts. ForYouTubeusers with jailbroken iPhones or iPads, these tweaks are going to be godsends. The first one, dubbed YouTube X, enhances the app by removing ads and enabling background playback functionality. The second one, YTUnShorts, removes the flurry of Shorts that you’d ordinarily see in your YouTube app’s feed. While the ad-supported model isn’t necessarily a bad thing, what bugs me is the back-to-back ad bombardment before, during, and in between videos....

The impact wrench is a tool one might not be familiar with as a DIYer or homeowner. But automotive professionals constantly use them for lug nuts and parts removal, and construction and industrial workers use even more powerful versions of the tools. We’re going to be limiting our list of cordless impact wrenches to the pistol-style wrenches commonly used in automotive shops and on construction sites, rather than the massive industrial two-handers that a few of these brands also manufacture....

With so much great content being posted online on a daily basis and so little precious time to spare (talk about information overload), we as a technological society have grown dependent on various apps to scrap news articles and store them in pure text form for later reading. And boy are these services plentiful!

With a new freejailbreak tweakdubbedNoHistorySafariby iOS developerWisy Channel, you can prevent Safari from keeping a history of the websites you visit without using Private Browsing mode....

I love jailbreaking for many reasons, but one of the primary reasons is that it allows developers to bring unique ideas to fruition. One such idea isAppButton, a newjailbreak tweakthat places a very different twist on the concept of app switching. AppButton is not available on the default Cydia repos yet, and is still in Alpha stages. Even so, it’s a tweak that shows tons of potential and promise. Once installed, AppButton places a small button on the iPhone’s screen....

The monster 2012 Apple v. Samsung trial was a treasure trove of various iPhone prototypes that we had never seen previously. These not only gave us a glimpse into Apple’s creative process, we also got to see the various bodies Apple had been exploring for its then still work-in-progress iPhone. But this is something entirely different from everything so far. For the first time, at least to my knowledge, we are offered a look into an extremely early iOS device prototype....

Why Do Drag Cars Have Skinny Front Tires? Drag racing is as much about strategy as it is about speed. Every decision — whether choosing between asupercharger and a turbocharger, optimizing aerodynamics, orselecting the racing car— can make or break a race. In drag racing, the selection of tires and the tire width are major decisions beyond aesthetics, especially the choice to use skinny tires at the front. Along with providing drag cars with a distinctive look, these narrow tires play a huge role in shaving seconds off a car’s performance....
