If you've been holding out on upgrading or building a new gaming rig, it's time to start looking again. The latest RTX 50 Series cards from Nvidia push high-refresh 1440p and even 4K performance, and AMD is leading the more budget-friendly range with the RX 900 Series. You have no shortage of options, and availability is much better than it was even a few months ago.

How to Buy an Electric Bike (2025): Classes, Range, Repairs

wired.com Stephanie Pearson 2025-07-26 20:00:00

Love them or hate them, electric bikes are here to stay. Between 2019 and 2023, electric bikes represented 63 percent of the growth in dollar sales of all bicycles. Translated to actual numbers, the US ebike market was valued at $1.98 billion in 2022. It’s expected to grow by 15.6 percent from 2023 to 2030. Some electric bike customers haven’t been on two wheels since they rode a Schwinn Stingray with a banana seat; others are lifelong cyclists who want a little extra oomph to flatten the hills

Robot Vacuum Tips to Help You Keep a Tidy Home (2025)

In the past few years, no other gadget—headphones, electric bicycle, literally anything at all—has improved as dramatically as the humble robot vacuum. The hardware and software have improved beyond all imagining. There are self-emptying bins, multilevel mapping abilities, and all sorts of bells and whistles, like an automated robot arm! Prices on the entry-level models have dropped significantly, to the point where robot vacuums are now an accessible household tool instead of a statement of bou

BMW M5 review: a PHEV worth its weight

theverge.com Peter Nelson 2025-07-26 19:00:00

After 40 years and six generations, 2025 marks the beginning of a new generation of the BMW M5: the G90 chassis. Featuring a ground-up redesign and a new plug-in hybrid powertrain, the specs are impressive. It’s not just its horsepower and torque numbers but its curb weight of 5,390 pounds, too. That’s no small figure, but the German brand’s never held back in this department, and it has never greatly impeded the badge. Well, until now.

Nothing Phone 3 review: flagship-ish

theverge.com Dominic Preston 2025-07-26 21:00:00

Nothing says that the Phone 3 is its “first true flagship phone,” and it has put its money where its mouth is. The phone is getting a full US launch, and at $799, it costs exactly the same as a Pixel 9, Galaxy S25, or iPhone 16. That makes reviewing the Phone 3 refreshingly simple, because there are only two real questions that matter: is this as good as those three? And will it be as good as what we’re expecting from the new Pixel and iPhone models that are right around the corner? The answer

For privacy and security, think twice before granting AI access to your personal data

techcrunch.com Zack Whittaker 2025-07-26 19:00:13

AI is being forced on us in pretty much every facet of life, from phones and apps to search engines and even drive-throughs, for some reason. The fact that we’re now getting web browsers with baked-in AI assistants and chatbots shows that the way some people are using the internet to seek out and consume information today is very different from even a few years ago. But AI tools are more and more asking for gross levels of access to your personal data under the guise of needing it to work. This

Most founders eventually have to pitch venture firms in hopes of raising capital.

After six years, it’s finally time for me to switch back to a Pixel

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority In my five years working as an Android journalist, I’ve been known as the Samsung guy. That’s been an accurate description, but it may surprise you to learn that I used to be a Nexus/Pixel fanatic, using every Google flagship from the Nexus 6 to the Pixel 3XL. That changed toward the start of 2019, when I became tired of how unreliable Pixels were for me in a few areas and started to use Samsung phones exclusively.

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET The Meta Ray-Bans have been a success since their launch, with consumers (like me) drawn to their regular form factor packed with mics, cameras, speakers, and AI.

"Europe is heading down the wrong path on AI," Kaplan wrote in a post Friday on LinkedIn.

‘Ice Cubes in a Volcano’: Scientists Baffled by Mysterious Clouds in Center of the Milky Way

In the center of our galaxy, gigantic, balloon-like structures of high-energy radiation extend thousands of light-years above and below the Milky Way’s plane. Known as the Fermi bubbles, the massive lobes may have been the result of a violent outburst in our galaxy’s recent past.
