LEGO Joins Early Prime Day With Star Wars Millennium Falcon at a New Record-Low Price

gizmodo.com Jason Coles 2025-09-23 17:40:07

Star Wars fans are, historically, pretty committed to what they love. It makes them incredibly easy to buy presents for, because basically anything that’s related to Star Wars is a good shout, and it’s going to be really well received too. It can be hard to find a quality gift though, whether you’re looking for yourself or someone else. These days, one of the best gifts you can give any of them, outside of a trip to Disney World, is a good Lego set. See at Amazon Lego sets hold their value wel

The iPad Is Almost a Mac Now. Time to Finish the Job

What's a computer? It's whatever helps me get my work done. I love new ideas for what computers can be, but traditional work tools still win out. For my job, it's generally a PC or Mac. When I travel, an iPad is often convenient, but it's not the same, so I often bring both. The "why not both" approach is exactly what Apple has been pitching with iPads and Macs for years, but Apple has also been adamant that these platforms will never merge.

iPhone 16E Specs vs. Google Pixel 8A: How Apple and Google's Lower-Cost Phones Match Up

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-23 17:00:07

Google's A-series Pixel handsets are typically budget-friendly, but currently the cheapest Google goes is $499 for the Pixel 9A. If you do want all of Google's flagship features and are comfortable with getting a used or refurbished device, you could check out last year's Pixel 8A which is going for under $300 in the secondary market. Strangely, Google is currently selling the Pixel 8A for the same price as the Pixel 9A, so it doesn't make sense to buy a new version of the Pixel 8A. A sub-$300

How a 30-year-old techno-thriller predicted our digital isolation

technologyreview.com Tom Humberstone 2025-09-24 01:00:00

How much will you trust an AI chatbot powered by Meta to be your friend? Answers to this may vary. Even if you won’t, other people are already making close connections with “AI companions” or “falling in love” with ChatGPT. The rise of “cognitive offloading”—of people asking AI to do their critical thinking for them—is already well underway, with many high school and college students admitting to a deep reliance on the technology. Beyond the obvious concern that AI “friends” are hallucinating,

As is customary with every Google product, the leaks are really starting to ramp up as we get closer to the release.

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority It’s been just under six years since the first Galaxy Fold launched, and in the time since then, foldable phones have become among the most interesting in the Android world. I’ve personally tested and reviewed many of them, including models from Samsung, Google, OnePlus, and others.

'28 Years Later' Director Danny Boyle Says Shooting on iPhones Let Him Capture 'Startling' Violence

Shutting down the city wasn’t an option for the low-budget production, however, and neither was re-creating it on a studio set.
