I Already Liked Anker's 'Built for the Wild' Bluetooth Speaker, but It's a Bargain at 32% Off

A little less than five years ago, Anker released a Bluetooth speaker called the Soundcore Motion Plus that turned out to be quite popular because it delivered surprisingly good sound for its fairly compact size and $100 price. In some ways, Anker's new Soundcore Boom 3i is the spiritual successor to that speaker. It's similarly shaped but has more of an outdoor adventure slant with Anker calling it "built for the wild" and billing it as the first Bluetooth speaker with playback in water, as it

techcrunch.com Connie Loizos 2026-03-29 04:31:20

Brad Feld has spent decades operating by a simple principle: give without expecting anything in return. This philosophy goes beyond traditional pay-it-forward thinking, he says. It’s about helping others, knowing only that meaningful connections and opportunities will emerge organically over time if you do. The entrepreneur and VC, who began angel investing in the 1990s, rose to prominence through his candid blog “Feld Thoughts,” which pulled back the curtain on the then-secretive venture indus

Samsung could be ditching the S Pen as you know it — for a very good reason

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s already rumored to be adopting new, active S Pen tracking tech for the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Now a new report claims Samsung will use the same new system on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. While this would result in a thicker stylus, one side effect might be opening the door for Qi2 magnetic support.

A new pyramid-like shape always lands the same side up

In 360 BCE, Plato envisioned the cosmos as an arrangement of five geometric shapes: flat-sided solids called polyhedra. These immediately became important objects of mathematical study. So it might be surprising that, millennia later, mysteries still surround even the simplest shape in Plato’s polyhedral universe: the tetrahedron, which has just four triangular faces. One major open problem, for instance, asks how densely you can pack “regular” tetrahedra, which have identical faces. Another as
