If you’re without a USB port, there is also a 3.5-mm converter for standard powerless listening and a quarter-inch converter for headphone amps and other higher-end sources.

Making its rounds on social media over the past two weeks is a story from The Atlantic about the end of high school English class. It’s not necessarily what you think it might be.

Students can, for example, feed the system a prompt for class and develop an essay with the help of the AI, never needing to do the actual work of writing and editing from scratch themselves. While sure, AI could make…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Drama King? I wanted to write a hero with massive sunshine, golden retriever energy, and a heroine who was a career focused, pragmatic grump.

This latest book in my series focuses a bit on the romance and comedy aspect of the characters I’ve developed, at least at first.

However, a new study suggests that dinosaurs’ diets were far more diversified than previously thought.To get a better idea of what different dinosaurs actually ate, paleobiologists from the University of Bristol in England examined CT (computed tomography) scans of the skulls of several dinosaur genera, including small bipedal Thecodontosaurus and long-necked Diplodocus, both considered herbivores, and created 3D models of their teeth. “Teeth can give good clues about what an animal eats because they are our tools to break…
