Xbox Ally X and Ally leaked prices make the Steam Deck sound like a steal

TL;DR The prices for Xbox’s upcoming handhelds may have leaked. The most expensive model may cost €899, while the cheaper model is said to be €599. While the metadata was scraped from ASUS’ website, these prices could just be place holders.

Android’s lock screen widgets are getting a slick new background blur effect

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A future Android update will give the lock screen widget page a blurred wallpaper background, aligning it with the Material 3 Expressive design language. This visual change, which replaces the current opaque colored background, was spotted in the new Android Canary build, making the UI more consistent. Although lock screen widgets are currently exclusive to tablets, Google has confirmed they will be coming to phones in the Android 16 QPR1 release. Mat

I'm a Windows user, but the MacBook Air M4 could be my new primary laptop at this price

MacBook Air M4 in Sky Blue Kyle Kucharski/ZDNET When Apple announced the MacBook Air M4 earlier this year, it was clear that the laptop would be an incremental upgrade from last year's model, with the latest in Apple silicon and a host of software and AI-powered features. The fact that the 13-inch version was $100 less was a pleasant surprise, however, positioning it as a competitive choice in the current market. I had a chance to test out the new MacBook Air M4, and my initial findings reflec

From Bitcoin to XRP: Key cryptocurrency terms and what they mean

From Bitcoin to XRP: Key cryptocurrency terms and what they mean 3 hours ago Share Save Liv McMahon, Joe Tidy & Brandon Drenon BBC News Share Save Getty Images Bitcoin's price reaching a new high of $120,000 (£89,000) - buoyed by US President Donald Trump's crypto-friendly stance - has kept the buzzy world of cryptocurrencies in the spotlight. But it also contains confusing terms such as ETFs, blockchains and cold wallets, that can make the topic somewhat tricky to navigate. Worry not. If you

T-Mobile has two new toggles that could affect your privacy, should you turn them off?

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile has added two new privacy toggles: one for sharing certain financial information and another for fraud/identity theft protection. The first toggle allows T-Mobile to share your financial data with affiliates and marketers, while the second is meant to help detect fraud. You can disable both toggles in the T-Life app, and for most people, turning off the first is strongly recommended. T-Mobile and the other big carriers have a certain reputat

Discord's virtual Orbs currency is now available for everyone to earn

Discord has begun rolling out its in-app Orbs currency to everyone. In conjunction with the platform's Quest system, users can earn Orbs by watching ads on Discord. You can then use the currency to purchase exclusive drip for your profile, including badges, effects and avatars. It's also possible to exchange Orbs for three-day Nitro credits and anything else you can buy on the Discord Shop. Sometimes developers will also offer the currency in exchange for simply trying out their game, or comple

Lossless Float Image Compression

Back in 2021 I looked at OpenEXR lossless compression options (and I think my findings led a change of the default zip compression level, as well as change of the compression library from zlib to libdeflate. Yay blogging about things!). Then in 2023 I looked at losslessly compressing a bunch of floating point data, some of which might be image-shaped. Well, now a discussion somewhere else has nerd-sniped me to look into lossless compression of floating point images, and especially the ones that

Tesla Makes a Desperate Move in Canada as Sales Collapse

Tesla is making a desperate move to stay alive in Canada as its sales suffer from the fallout of Donald Trump’s trade war. In a quiet but shocking update to its website, the electric vehicle maker has drastically lowered the price of its best-selling Model Y SUV by a staggering $20,000. The move is a direct response to a brutal trade dispute that has crippled Tesla’s Canadian operations. In retaliation for tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, Ottawa slapped a 25% surtax on all cars impo

Best AirPods Pro Alternatives: AirPods for Android and More

Apple’s AirPods Pro are crazy popular for good reason (8/10, WIRED Recommends), from their airy design to their raft of advanced features and powerful noise canceling. But the best AirPods Pro alternatives provide something Apple's pricey flagship buds don't: serious versatility outside Apple's carefully controlled ecosystem. If you’re looking for earbuds with that AirPods Pro vibe that travel better beyond the walls of the Apple castle (hello, Android users!), we've got you covered. My colleag

Apple gearing up for day one production of iPhone 17 in India, despite Chinese disruption

Apple is gearing up for simultaneous production of the iPhone 17 in both China and India, despite apparent attempts by the Chinese government to disrupt this. Achieving day one assembly in India has long been a key objective for Apple’s work in reducing its dependence on China as a manufacturing hub, but has never before been achieved … Apple’s goal of simultaneous production The vast majority of iPhones are still assembled in China, but Apple has for many years been working on boosting the n

These are the closest-ever images of the sun from Parker Solar Probe's historic flyby

NASA's Parker Solar Probe made history with the closest-ever approach to the sun last December, and we're finally getting a look at some of the images it captured. The space agency released a timelapse of observations made using Parker's Wide-Field Imager for Solar Probe (WISPR) while it passed through the sun's corona (the outer atmosphere) on December 25, 2024, revealing up close how solar wind acts soon after it's released. The probe captured these images at just 3.8 million miles from the so

Binding Application in Idris

I’ve recently implemented binding application as a language feature in Idris. This feature allows writing types such as Dependent pairs in a more ergonomic way without relying on special compiler magic. Or rather, the compiler magic is made available to everyone. This post is a collection of uses for this feature. This feature is not publicly available yet, but I intend to make it available in the near future. What is it? Binding syntax and binding-application is an idea I had a couple of yea

Let's Learn x86-64 Assembly! Part 0 - Setup and First Steps published on Apr 18 2020 The way I was taught x86 assembly at the university had been completely outdated for many years by the time I had my first class. It was around 2008 or 2009, and 64-bit processors had already started becoming a thing even in my neck of the woods. Meanwhile, we were doing DOS, real-mode, memory segmentation and all the other stuff from the bad old days. Nevertheless, I picked up enough of it during the classes

These are the pros and cons of buying from Apple’s refurbished store: Is it worth it?

Apple has long offered a refurbished store on its website, where it sells recent generation products at a pretty sizable discount. Unlike other refurbished offerings, Apple guarantees a replaced outer shell, battery, and glass – ensuring no wear and tear. You also get a 1 year Apple warranty and the ability to add AppleCare if you’d like. That sounds great, but is it actually worth it? Well, it depends. We’ll be delving into Apple refurbished listings, and comparing it to other offerings on the

Traditional Chinese Medicine Has Not Been Vindicated by Science

People love to show that skeptics were wrong about something, especially when national pride hangs in the balance. The South China Morning Post published the following headline on November 3rd: “Scientists find traditional Chinese medicine is based on a complex network of proteins – 3,000 years before modern science.” The article points out that respectable editorials in the scientific literature had repeatedly referred to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as “largely just pseudoscience” and “

Five companies now control over 90% of the restaurant food delivery market

While reading the latest results from Prosus, I realized there seems to be a trend that nobody is talking about. There is an obvious wave of consolidation in the food delivery market happening right before our eyes. The once-hot food delivery sector has gone cold faster than your DoorDash order. New entrants have disappeared as most of the VC money chases the cool and hip AI startups. Alongside a wave of acquisitions, the world's food delivery market is consolidating in the hands of 5 companies.

Bethesda Wants to Meet ‘Fallout’ Hype With Show Tie-Ins and New Games

If you’re a fan of Prime Video’s Fallout show and the games it’s based on, it sounds like Bethesda’s getting ready to capitalize on its current and future success. Talking to Variety, Fallout 76 creative director Jon Rush teased that game’s team and the creative forces behind the series have discussed “lining things up with the seasonal releases of the show.” The implication is some in-game tie-ins to the show, maybe skins for the key characters or an in-game event reminiscent of certain episod

Best Internet Providers in Alexandria, Virginia

What is the best internet provider in Alexandria? CNET recommends Verizon Fios as the best internet service provider in Alexandria. It offers fast fiber coverage, blistering-fast speeds and reasonable prices. You get unlimited data, free equipment rental and lengthy price guarantees. Verizon Fios is one of CNET's top-rated internet service providers countrywide, so it makes sense it would be good in Alexandria, too.

A Company Tried to Put Real Estate on the Blockchain and Now It's Facing a Legal Disaster

Detroit is a city that's used to fighting. Once the third most populous city in the country, its citizens have long struggled against robber barons, anti-communist witch hunts, private sector looting, and racist housing laws. It hasn't had it easy, to say the least. Now, Outlier reports, the city is doing battle against a $93 million crypto real estate scheme. The city recently announced a massive lawsuit filed against RealToken, a cryptocurrency business that's snapping up hundreds of subsidi

The Garmin Forerunner 570 is a powerful running watch but the price is all wrong

Garmin Forerunner 570 The Garmin Forerunner 570 is a sleek, high-performing running watch that nails the essentials and then some, but its price puts it in a strange no man’s land between its better-value siblings. With advanced training tools, added smart tools, and highly accurate sensors, it’s easy to love while wearing it, but unless you find it discounted, it's tricky to justify buying in the first place. I’ve spent the past few weeks testing the Garmin Forerunner 570, Garmin’s latest addi

5 reasons I still use a projector even though I already own a big TV

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority I live with a fairly large TV, the consequence of sharing a space with someone who watches a lot of sports. It’s bright, sharp, and reliably front-and-center in our living room. But after testing a handful of projectors for work, I started to wonder whether they still make sense in homes that already have TVs (especially big ones). At least in my case, the answer is yes. I still reach for mine as a flexible, portable option when a traditional TV doesn’t quite
