engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-16 09:00:09

Snap is upgrading the software that powers its augmented reality glasses as it gets ready for the first non-developer version of its "Specs" next year. The latest update to Snap OS includes an improved web browser, as well as the ability to browse Spotlight videos in AR. The company has long said that one of its goals for AR glasses is to enable people to spend less time staring at their phones. Snap hasn't quite accomplished that yet, but Snap OS is starting to get more features that could hel

There must be something in the water at Spotify HQ. Less than a week after delivering long-promised lossless audio, the company has another treat. Free listeners can finally listen to any track they want. After enhancing Premium, perhaps Spotify figured it could add a free perk without shedding subscribers. Spotify accounts on the free plan can now choose any track and immediately listen to it. Previously, that was paywalled for Premium subscribers. Non-paying ones had to shuffle through an alb

How does air pollution impact your brain?

news.ycombinator.com Written By 2025-10-16 05:04:23

Image credit: Ionut Stefan We’ve known for some time that air pollution is bad for human health. However, the focus was mostly on the lungs, and to some extent, the heart.

But somewhere along the way, it became somewhat mainstream to consider how air pollution might affects brains too. What I found surprising was the recency of
