Google Chrome at 17 - A history of our browser

Back in the mid-2000s, web browsers were struggling to keep up with the modern web. Google's founders saw the browser as critical ("our entire business is people using a browser to access us and the Web" as CEO Eric Schmidt recalled[2]), yet the incumbents weren't architected for rich web apps. In 2006, a small team of ex-Firefox engineers at Google - led by Ben Goodger and Darin Fisher - started sketching ideas for a new browser built for the "cloud era."

Sabalenka's US Open triumph shows lessons have been learned

It was not until her excruciating French Open final defeat against Coco Gauff that Sabalenka understood this was not true.

This 30-second fix made my Samsung Galaxy smartwatch run like new again - how it works

What's a cache? Think of a cache like a garbage can. It temporarily stores your smartwatch data (or junk) and, in this half-baked analogy, considers that data when you log into sites or perform regular tasks. Just like a garbage can, it gets filled with junk after a while and begins to overflow if not properly handled. You eventually have to dispose of the junk in a dumpster to add more junk (or data) to the can.

How much RAM does your Linux PC really need in 2025? I did the math

Let's first answer the question of why RAM is so important. RAM acts as a fast, temporary storage area for data that the computer is actively using. Essentially, your OS stores data in RAM because it's much faster than your local storage. RAM is crucial for speed and responsiveness, multitasking, better performance for demanding tasks, a smooth user experience, and future-proofing your computer. Without RAM, your computer would behave poorly (or not at all).

The Lush Pain Music of Nourished by Time

Marcus Brown's voice is a crooner's voice, a baritone, emanating notes from some spot in his body deeper than his chest. Biologically speaking, this is impossible. But taking in his vocal, its dark timbre and real dimensionality, one feels perplexed and forced to come up with an explanation. Occasionally, Brown, who makes mesmerizing, lovelorn music under the name Nourished by Time, is a serenader reaching for the style of Jodeci or SWV-sinewy, solicitous, but alien underneath the ad-libbing.
