10 Hacks Every Discord User Should Know

Discord is one of those apps that has helped kill off good ol' internet forums. If you look hard enough, you can find a Discord server for most any niche hobby, online course, or fandom of choice. I'd been aware of the app for a while, but I didn't join Discord myself until I found a server for my favorite iPhone game (Imbroglio, by Michael Brough), which is about as niche as it gets. Thanks to the tips I got from the kind people on this server, I was able to finish the incredibly difficult roguelike with all 16 characters.Since then, I've used Discord regularly to follow more than a few of my hobbies and interests, including, but not limited to, motorsports, gaming, fountain pens, and studying Japanese. In this time, I've discovered a few tips and tricks to make the experience better, and...

Scientists develop blood-based indicator to detect the age of a human organ

Researchers have developed a blood-based indicator of age of an organ that can be used to assess its current age and predict the risk of a disease that might affect it 10 years later. One's biological age measures how well the body functions, compared to the chronological age.  However, the organs inside the body are all said to be ageing at different speeds.  The researchers, including those from the US' Stanford University, looked at 11 separate organ systems -- brain, muscle, heart, lung, arteries, liver, kidneys, pancreas, immune system, intestine and fat.  "We've developed a blood-based indicator of the age of your organs. With this indicator, we can assess the age of an organ today and predict the odds of your getting a disease associated with that organ 10 years later," senior au...

Update Your iPhone Now to Patch These 29 Security Flaws

We may earn a commission from links on this page. While the tech world's collective attention is currently fixed on iOS 27, Apple is still churning out updates to iOS 26. While we're not likely to get another feature-filled release in the "26" era, there will always be bugs and security flaws to squash whenever Apple or third-party researchers discover them. Case in point: On Monday, Apple dropped iOS 26.5.2, which comes with fixes for 29 security vulnerabilities. First, the good news: None of these vulnerabilities appears to be a "zero-day." A zero-day is a security flaw that is publicly disclosed or actively exploited before the software developer has a chance to issue a patch. They're especially dangerous, since it gives hackers the advantage: They can attempt to f...

Reinforcing body clock rhythms may help brain recover from stroke: Study

Improving sleep by reinforcing the body's natural daily rhythms could help the brain recover after a stroke, potentially providing a new strategy to enhance the brain's waste clearance and outcomes, according to a new study.  The findings, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, show that interventions designed to reinforce the body's natural circadian rhythms, such as timed light exposure, melatonin or a body clock-targeting drug, improved recovery in mouse models of stroke.  Researchers from the University of Rochester Medical Center also found improvements in the glymphatic system -- the brain's waste-clearing network -- and reduced levels of inflammatory molecules that can linger in the brain after a stroke.  The system moves cerebrospinal fluid along blood vessels and t...
