Google Maps or Waze is usually the go-to choice for directions, and Waze has always been mine. I like how quickly it picks up traffic, warns me about slowdowns, and gives me a heads-up about things happening on the road. I’ve gotten into the habit of turning it on before I pull out, even when I mostly know the route.

The problem started when I noticed my phone's battery dropping much faster than usual after using Waze with Android Auto.map

Anyone who knows me also knows I'm no big fan of laptops. As a PC builder for 20+ years, it'll surprise nobody that I prefer to just build my own thing instead.

But when that's not an option, I'll still pick something else over a laptop. I firmly believe that a mini PC is a way better choice, and that's what I tend to pick when I need something portable. And no, it's not just because their price-to-performance ratio is actually really weird right now.pc

Krenten en rozijnen zijn beide gedroogde druiven, maar ze zijn zeker niet hetzelfde. Veel mensen gebruiken de termen door elkaar, terwijl er duidelijke verschillen zijn in grootte, smaak, herkomst en het type druif waaruit ze worden gemaakt.

We spreken van constipatie (darmverstopping) als we minder dan drie keer per week ontlasting hebben. Constipatie is een veel voorkomende aandoening waar veel mensen vroeg of laat een keer last van krijgen. Maar wat is het, wat zijn de oorzaken en kun je je stoelgang bevorderen? Lees er alles over in dit blog.

Landing on a moving target is a challenge for all flying animals. For bumblebees, a flower swaying in the wind creates an erratic landing pad. Reaching it means matching its sideways motion while continuing to face it. When the bee turns in flight, its view of the flower changes, which complicates the feat.

Sommige vogels klinken even luid als kettingzagen en drilboren. Hoe en waarom doen ze dat?

Onderzoekers Jeff Podos en João C.T. Menezes van de Universiteit van Massachusetts wilden nagaan of fysieke kenmerken van vogels kunnen voorspellen hoe luid hun roep is.

Een eenvoudige methode om het volume van een vogelroep te meten, is door de vogel waarin je geïnteresseerd bent te vangen, hem mee te nemen naar het laboratorium en daar gecontroleerde experimenten uit te voeren. Maar dat is niet praktisch, vooral wanneer je internationaal werkt en grote aantallen vogels met elkaar wil vergelijken.

Voor kaarten en satellietbeelden van de hele aardbol wenden miljarden mensen zich tot Google Maps. Het beeldmateriaal van Gaza kreeg daar recent een update. Daardoor is de verwoesting na bijna drie jaar Israëlische bombardementen en grondoperaties nu voor iedereen in hoge resolutie te bekijken.map

The average battery capacity of an Android phone has increased from around 3000 mAh in 2015 to 5291 mAh in January 2026, with certain Chinese OEMs now reaching up to 10,000 mAh in mainstream smartphones. While battery capacity and tech are growing at a rapid pace, so is the power consumption of Android apps. In fact, I charge my device about as often as I did in the old days.

So I did investigate my phone's battery consumption and found that the idle battery drain was surprisingly high (around 12% overnight drain). The main culprit was frequent location access by apps like Instagram, which recorded 500+ location accesses in just 24 hours.

Linux used to be a chore to setup, difficult to debug, and full of confusing upfront choices. Omarchy solves all of it with a lightning fast installation, agents that debug all issues, and fantastic defaults that give you a fully functioning system that looks amazing out of the box.

Oma is for omakase, chef's choice: we pick the tools and tune the details, so you can get straight to work. But this is your computer. You're free to change everything.

Behind it all is the Omarchy Doctrine: ten principles for uniting the nerds, welcoming the agents, and building the perfect computer. We're not there yet, but we can fix everything now.

Om de federale begroting op orde te krijgen, is een staatshervorming nodig. Premier De Wever zegt het, grondwetspecialist Quinten Jacobs schreef het. “Ik mis politici die assertief in het moeras gaan staan”, zegt Jacobs. “Wie niet met de hakbijl in de sociale zekerheid wil, zal het monster op een dag in de ogen moeten kijken”

If you've spent any time using the Linux terminal, you've probably used the grep command. It's what you use to quickly find a search term in a file or find all the files containing that term. It's useful, reliable, and fundamental to most terminal workflows. That said, grep is old — more than 50 years old. A lot has changed since then — our computing habits have evolved, and new technologies have emerged.

ripgrep is one such new technology. It's a Rust-based alternative to grep that offers most of the same capabilities, along with smarter defaults and generally faster performance. I've personally been using grep for years, but once I switched to ripgrep, it became my new default — it’s just that much better. That said, here's a quick overview of how the two commands compare, so you can decide whether to switch to ripgrep for yourself.

If your blond preteen seems to be turning into a brunette, you're not imagining things. For some children, hair that starts out platinum blond gradually becomes darker and may end up dark brown, or even black, as they grow.

So what causes this change?

The short answer is that hair color is controlled by a complex interplay of genes, pigment-producing cells and, later in childhood, hormones. Scientists understand many of the genes involved in hair color, but they are still trying to find out why some blond children's hair darkens while others' locks remain blond for life.

De FOD Economie ontving dit jaar al meer meldingen over defecte toestellen en garantieproblemen dan vorig jaar. Consumenten kennen de regels niet en hebben vaker dan gedacht recht op garantie.

Vragen over defecten na verkoop en de wettelijke garantie zijn de absolute toppers bij het contactcenter van de FOD Economie. In 2025 steeg het aantal dossiers daarover met 51 procent, dit jaar liepen al 15 procent meer meldingen binnen dan in heel vorig jaar. “Telkens weer blijkt dat consumenten hun rechten onvoldoende kennen”, zegt Lien Meurisse van de FOD Economie.weer

A compose key for Windows, free and open-source, created by Sam Hocevar.

A compose key allows to easily write special characters such as é ž à ō û ø ☺ ¤ ∅ « ♯ ⸘ Ⓚ ㊷ ♪ ♬ using short and often very intuitive key combinations. For instance, ö is obtained using o + ", and ♥ is obtained using < + 3.

PowerShell includes built-in aliases for common Command Shell (cmd.exe) commands to provide a familiar experience for users migrating from Windows CMD or Unix-like systems. These aliases map directly to their respective PowerShell cmdlets, allowing you to use short, recognizable names instead of the full cmdlet syntax.map

I'm one of those people who presses Alt Tab hundreds of times a day to bounce between the many windows I have open. The problem is that Windows' built-in switcher starts to get awkward when I have lots of windows open, and aside from choosing how many thumbnails to display, there's not much room for customization.

So I started looking for a better way to handle this, and I stumbled upon NTWind's Alt-Tab Terminator. I've only been using the free version, but I'm kicking myself for not finding it sooner.

Third-party apps get most of the scrutiny when it comes to permission creep, but Google's own apps are often the bigger offenders. Here's a look at three permissions Google's ecosystem quietly holds onto well past the point they're needed.
