reMarkable Paper Pro Move vs iPad mini: Is digital minimalism worth it?

The new reMarkable Paper Pro Move hit the shelves earlier this month, and it comes in with a much smaller form factor, akin to an iPad mini. This new smaller reMarkable paper tablet is also a lot cheaper, making for a rather interesting comparison between the two. When I reviewed the full-sized reMarkable Paper Pro earlier this year, I also wrote up a comparison to the iPad Air, so I figured it’d be fitting to do the same here, since both products go after very similar niches. This time around

Only 'two percent' of Escape from Tarkov players may get to see its best ending

Escape from Tarkov players may finally get the chance to escape from the fictional war-torn city in northwest Russia, but it won't be easy. During a live Q&A at Tokyo Game Show, Nikita Buyanov, the game's director, told the audience that there will be four endings that players can achieve, which will be determined by the playthrough's completion and progression. Buyanov added that the "best ending" will be "really hard" and "not everyone will escape from Tarkov." "I think it will be something a

Airports in Denmark Shut Down as Mysterious Drones Spotted

Denmark is on edge after mysterious drones were spotted above four airports across the country late Wednesday and early Thursday. The country’s defense minister described the drone flights as part of a “hybrid attack” and they come after a similar incident at Copenhagen’s airport on Tuesday. While Denmark’s government hasn’t officially blamed Russia yet, officials are investigating that possibility. “The aim of this type of hybrid attack is to spread fear, create division and frighten us,” said

Can a model trained on satellite data really find brambles on the ground?

Over the summer Gabriel Mahler has been conducting research on hedgehog habitat mapping using Agent Based Models (ABMs) and remote sensing. Hedgehogs seem to like brambles and so as part of his work he has produced a bramble map. He did this by combining the TESSERA earth representation embeddings (using the geotessera library) with data from iNaturalist. The current model is an ensemble of logistic regression and a knn classifier. Can we really see brambles from space? What better way to test

I’m paying American Express $900/year for a dark mode on its Android app

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR American Express’s mobile app was recently updated with a new “Premium” dark mode theme. The new theme is only accessible if you have Amex’s Platinum card, which just had its annual fee increased to $895/year. Where did everything go wrong. Why am I paying for this. How did I get here. American Express recently overhauled its high-end Platinum credit card, and in the process, it increased the already hefty annual fee from $695 up to an eye-watering $895.

Nothing is spinning off its budget CMF brand

Nothing is spinning off its budget brand CMF into an independent subsidiary, according to a report by TechCrunch . India will serve as the newly-formed company's headquarters for manufacturing and R&D, thanks to a partnership with one of the country's telecom operators. Nothing says this venture will create over 1,800 jobs in the country. India is actually a good choice for the HQ. The country is Nothing's strongest market overall, with over a 2 percent market share in smartphones . It's the fa

Doorstep raises $8M seed to help find missing food deliveries

One day, Shashwat Murarka sat in his college apartment thinking about his relationship with food delivery. Sometimes, the order never arrived, and he had to wander through his apartment building, looking for the misplaced food. Other times, he found himself giving step-by-step directions to confused deliverers who, it seemed, were just as annoyed as he. “What started as frustration turned into a mission to fix one of the most overlooked problems in the supply chain, the final stretch of the las

Researchers Tested Bite-Resistant Wetsuit Material With Great Whites and Tiger Sharks. Here’s What Happened

Australian shark experts have revealed that some special wetsuit materials aiming to keep sharks from ripping your arm off or gouging out your guts might actually be helpful. As detailed in a study published today in the journal Wildlife Research, the team investigated the extent to which four bite-resistant wetsuit materials—Aqua Armour, Shark Stop, ActionTX-S, and Brewster—could lessen injuries and blood loss from great white and tiger shark bites. “Our study showed that bite-resistant mater

The Headphones Market Is Booming for 1 Key Reason

Does it seem like more people around you are in their own little audio world? Are you buying AirPods to upgrade old ones every couple of years like you'd replace a worn-out wallet? Companies that make headphones and earbuds, including some of the world's largest tech companies such as Apple, Samsung and Sony, can expect boom times ahead, according to a new report. S&S Insider, a market research firm, predicts that worldwide sales of these portable audio products will nearly double from where th

For One Glorious Morning, a Website Saved San Francisco From Parking Tickets

Car owners in San Francisco fed up with parking tickets had a brief moment of respite on Tuesday thanks to a website called Find My Parking Cops. The site kept tabs on where city workers were issuing tickets, showing the locations of parking control officers on a city map in real time. I’m using the past tense to tell you about it because shortly after the site went live, the real-time data feed powering it went dark. Before that sad turn of events, and while the buzz around the site was still

The ‘Knights of Guinevere’ Pilot Brings Some Good, Surreal Sci-Fi

For years, animation fans have clamored online for new, original works to fall in love with alongside cherished, already established IP. After this summer’s KPop Demon Hunters provided a successful (and ongoing) bit of originality, that momentum continues with Knights of Guinevere, whose pilot premiered this past weekend on YouTube. Created by Dana Terrace, Zach Marcus, and John Bailey Owen, the creator and key writers on Disney’s The Owl House, Guinevere feels at once like its own distinct, fr

Discover Agatha Harkness’ Secrets in This Magical New Marvel Tome

Marvel magic arrives in a fun tome inspired by Agatha Harkness. This Halloween you’ll be able to dive into the mind of the comic book and Marvel Television icon (played by Kathryn Hahn on WandaVision and Agatha All Along) in The Grimoire of Agatha Harkness: A Magical History and Spellbook—and we’ve got an early look inside. Insight Editions gave io9 a special preview of the book, which delves into the journals kept by Harkness, left behind by the mighty magician to garner annotations from two o

Telo raises $20 million to build tiny electric trucks for cities

Big electric trucks are having a hard time. The Cybertruck is a bust, Stellantis just canceled the Ram 1500 EV, and even sales of Ford’s promising F-150 Lightning have been on the decline. But the United States loves trucks. So is the key to making them love electric trucks… a very small one? That’s the bet that California-based startup Telo has been making since its inception in 2022. The company has designed a bite-sized truck called the MT1 with an admittedly not-so-small starting price of

Got all you need from the notification? Gmail starts letting you mark as read

Stephen Schenck / Android Authority TL;DR This past summer, Gmail tested adding a “mark as read” option to Android notifications. That’s now ready to roll out widely, and should be hitting Gmail users everywhere. Email may have a reputation as being a bit clunky and inelegant compared to texting or DMs for quick conversation, but with it as broadly compatible as it is, we still find ourselves falling back to it over and over again. Sometimes it even feels almost as easy as texting, and you do

Marine Biologists Just Filmed a Shark Threesome, and It’s a Win for Science

Springer Nature’s Journal of Ethology has just published a study on a threesome. Yes, that kind of threesome—and it’s being hailed as a win for marine conservation efforts. That’s because the lovers in this particular trio are leopard sharks. Hugo Lassauce, a marine biologist from the University of the Sunshine Coast, filmed two males and one female of the endangered species mating in the wild in a first-of-its-kind video, shedding light on their natural reproductive behaviors. “The Indo-Pacif

Rungis: The Market and the City – A day at Europe's largest fresh food market

The international market of Rungis, the largest fresh food market in Europe, is located close to Orly airport, south of Paris — about an hour’s drive from the city centre during the day, but just 20 minutes in the dead of night when those who feed Paris are already awake and hard at work. On your way there you will notice that nearly all early-morning encounters are connected to food: bakeries are lit up, with the smell of fresh bread already floating in the air, while supermarket employees wait

US v. Google redux: all the news from the ad tech trial

On April 17th, 2025, Judge Brinkema ruled that Google did act illegally to acquire and maintain monopoly power in online advertising. Now, DOJ and Google lawyers are returning to the courtroom to argue over whether this should lead to a Google breakup by forcing the company to sell its AdX exchange. In the initial trial, the DOJ argued that Google unfairly locked up the market for ad tech tools that publishers and advertisers rely on to monetize their websites and market their goods. Google res

Fed Boss Concerned About AI’s Effect on Job Market

One of the key questions swirling around economics circles is the effect artificial intelligence will have — or perhaps is already having — on the job market. While most tales of “AI automation” are anecdotal at best, preliminary data appears to show at least some level of job market disruption for young workers in fields vulnerable to the current capabilities of AI software. Whether or not AI is actually taking those jobs is another question. Real-world performance of the software remains dre

VPNs Are in High Demand for These Main Reasons

We all have concerns about online privacy and security, and that's not changing anytime soon. According to a new report from Maximum Market Research, the global market for virtual private networks will grow by more than 17% annually over the next five years. VPN expenditures are projected to reach $150 billion by 2030, more than triple what it was ($48.7 billion) in 2023. Two key drivers for that growth are the lack of data security on public networks and the increasing number of employees doi

reMarkable Paper Pro Move Review: Still excellent for note-taking, just more portable

Earlier this month, reMarkable – the company behind one of the most iconic paper tablets on the market – announced a new, smaller version of the reMarkable Paper Pro. It’s called reMarkable Paper Pro Move, and despite being a much smaller device, it truly does still feel flagship. It fits in the palm of your hand. I spent plenty of time with the full-sized reMarkable Paper Pro over the first couple months of this year, and I felt that it was a great device. Though it had one major caveat: price
