Office 365 is the current version of Microsoft's productivity suite, but it requires a subscription to use, which doesn't please those who already have subscriptions to other services to pay for.

What I likedGood technology screen: The Galaxy A15 5G's 6.5-inch display is average – the cell phone doesn't hide its humble origins by having generous borders between the screen and the edges of the device – but it brings some surprising features to the segment.Starting with the build process, it uses a Super Amoled panel, the same one seen in more expensive mobile phones. The resolution is Full HD+ (1,080 x 2,340 pixels) and the refresh rate found in mid-range phones: 90 Hz, an indicator that measures the speed at which scenes are displayed (the higher, the better).In practice, the…

Contrary to what the name might suggest, Satan's comet poses no danger to us. The celestial body, officially known as 12P/Pons-Brooks, is approaching our planet, but with no chance of collision. In certain parts of the Northern Hemisphere, it can already be seen with the help of astronomical observing instruments. Why is Satan guilty? Discovered by French astronomer Jean-Louis Pons in 1812, it earned the nickname 12P/Pons-Brooks due to an explosion in July 2023. On that occasion, its coma – the collection of dust and gas surrounding its core – was distorted. Take on a horned appearance. Observing Satan's Comet…

According to recent research, headaches are more likely to occur in astronauts during space missions. This study included 24 astronauts from space agencies in the United States, Europe, and Japan, who spent up to 26 weeks on the International Space Station (ISS). The majority, 24 of them, reported experiencing headaches during their stay. The pain persisted not only in the first weeks in space, when the body goes through the process of adapting to microgravity, but also later. “We hypothesize that there are different mechanisms involved in early headache cases — within a week or two in space — compared…
