New Glenn will have to sit pretty for a few more days. | Image: Miguel J. Rodriguez Carrillo/Getty Images The second launch of Blue Origin’s partially reusable New Glenn rocket was scrubbed on Sunday due to adverse weather conditions, delaying NASA’s latest Mars mission. The Jeff Bezos-owned commercial space company announced that its next launch window from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida will be attempted “no earlier” than Wednesday, November 12th, between 2:50PM and 4:17PM ET.This is a significant launch for the 320-foot-tall megarocket, which is tasked with sending NASA’s twin ESCAPADE (Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers) probes into space — the first Mars-bound mission since NASA launched its Perseverance and Ingenuity vehicles in 2020 to explore the red planet’s surface. The ESCAPADE satellites are projected to reach Mars orbit in 2027, where they will measure the planet’s magnetic field and atmosphere.This will also be Blue Origin’s latest attempt to land New Glenn’s reusable first-stage booster, which, much like SpaceX’s Falcon rocket boosters, is designed to vertically touch down on a sea-based platform following launch. While Blue Origin successfully launched New Glenn for the first time in January after several delays, the booster was lost during its landing descent. A successful launch and landing would help Blue Origin to prove itself as a deep-space launch provider that’s capable of competing with established rivals like SpaceX and United Launch Alliance.Blue Origin says it worked with the Federal Aviation Administration to select its latest launch window, having seemingly been given an exemption to new FAA rules that prohibit commercial rockets from being launched between 6AM and 10PM. This emergency order came into effect on November 10th to alleviate air traffic congestion during the ongoing government shutdown. If all goes to plan, the live webcast for New Glenn’s second flight will start 20 minutes prior to launch on Wednesday.

Fallout 4 turns 10, but I want the original game to be remade just like it

The 10th anniversary of the release of Fallout 4 finally arrives on November 10th, 2025, and fans have been celebrating it in different ways. Whether it was remembering their favorite moments playing the game or dressing up as their favorite characters, there's a lot of love going around for the...
The 10th anniversary of the release of Fallout 4 finally arrives on November 10th, 2025, and fans have been celebrating it in different ways. Whether it was remembering their favorite moments playing the game or dressing up as their favorite characters, there's a lot of love going around for the Fallout series. This couldn't have come at a more perfect time, now that Fallout has been pushed further into the mainstream with the ongoing live-action Fallout series that streams on Prime Video. Between that and all the other extra content released for games like Fallout 76 and Fallout Shelter, it's a great time to be a vault dweller. But there's one thing that hasn't been considered that would be something interesting to see done by Bethesda.

Breaking my Linux install taught me more about computers than Windows ever did

Ever since I could use a computer, I used Windows. And for a good number of decades, that didn't change. I went from Windows 95 all the way to 11, upgrading whenever I could and shunning other options. I've never owned a macOS device, and before 2025, I had only...
Ever since I could use a computer, I used Windows. And for a good number of decades, that didn't change. I went from Windows 95 all the way to 11, upgrading whenever I could and shunning other options. I've never owned a macOS device, and before 2025, I had only toyed with Linux once a decade ago and hated it.

I turned a photo frame and an ESP32 into the perfect smart home display

I have a lot of different smart displays and gadgets around my home, but some of the best and most simplest are the ePaper displays that I have a significant number of. I have the XIAO ePaper Panel which started it all, the reTerminal E1001/E1002, and the TRMNL DIY display....
I have a lot of different smart displays and gadgets around my home, but some of the best and most simplest are the ePaper displays that I have a significant number of. I have the XIAO ePaper Panel which started it all, the reTerminal E1001/E1002, and the TRMNL DIY display. The TRMNL DIY display is a particularly interesting one, as it doesn't even come with a case: as the name implies, you build it yourself. That's why I put mine in a photo frame.

Arc Raiders shows how to make storytelling work in an extraction shooter

Let's face it — extraction shooters have never been about storytelling. They've always been about tension, risk, and reward. There's a delicate loop of looting, surviving, and extracting just in time, and the "story" usually begins and ends... with a gunshot. Tarkov, The Division, DMZ, and even the genre's smaller...
Let's face it — extraction shooters have never been about storytelling. They've always been about tension, risk, and reward. There's a delicate loop of looting, surviving, and extracting just in time, and the "story" usually begins and ends... with a gunshot. Tarkov, The Division, DMZ, and even the genre's smaller siblings all follow pretty much the same formula. I'm not saying there isn't a bare-bones story in every looter-shooter worth its salt, but Arc Raiders is proving to be something else entirely.

This Chrome extension fixes NotebookLM’s biggest study pain point for me

3 ways I got smoother gameplay without higher FPS

Most of us focus on the average frames per second (FPS) while gaming, but that number doesn't always tell the full story. You could be running some competitive titles at over 200 FPS and still feel like the game isn't smooth enough. For instance, when I played Battlefield REDSEC recently,...
Most of us focus on the average frames per second (FPS) while gaming, but that number doesn't always tell the full story. You could be running some competitive titles at over 200 FPS and still feel like the game isn't smooth enough. For instance, when I played Battlefield REDSEC recently, I could immediately tell the game felt jittery during intense gunfights, even though I was getting over 130 FPS. That's because high frame rates don't automatically guarantee consistent frame delivery or near-instant input response.

You, too, can make this adorable DIY miniature train display that shows real-life departures

The train station display is the unsung hero of the rail network. It's always giving us up-to-date information on when we can expect our trains, but we rarely give it the props that it truly deserves. Without them, we don't know if our next train is in one minute or...

5 boring everyday tasks I stopped handling myself, because NotebookLM takes care of them for me

NotebookLM is everybody’s favorite AI research assistant, but I also use it in my day-to-day productivity.

NotebookLM is everybody’s favorite AI research assistant, but I also use it in my day-to-day productivity. I’ve started offloading a bunch of repetitive mental chores that used to require several different apps, tens of open browser tabs, and additional focus. But why put so much effort into small tasks when an AI tool can speed them up tenfold? In a way, NotebookLM has become my second brain.

The Windows Snipping Tool is getting a feature I’ve wanted for years now

We've come a long way with our screenshotting tools, haven't we? It feels like only yesterday that our only option was to hit the Print Screen key, paste the result into an image editor, and then annotate it with arrows, circles, and text. It was a clunky, long process, but...

This simple GPU trick improves thermals while gaming

Even if you find that your GPU runs cool under most loads, there's a good chance it's probably drawing a lot more wattage than it otherwise needs to while gaming specifically. Modern GPUs are designed to constantly chase the highest boost clocks and maintain them for as long as thermally...
Even if you find that your GPU runs cool under most loads, there's a good chance it's probably drawing a lot more wattage than it otherwise needs to while gaming specifically. Modern GPUs are designed to constantly chase the highest boost clocks and maintain them for as long as thermally possible, regardless of what you're actually playing. There's a really easy way to bring the temperature of your GPU down without sacrificing performance, and it comes down to a few simple tweaks: setting power limits and pairing those with the right display settings.
