Our expert replaced his Meta Ray-Bans with these smart glasses, and they come with an Echo Spot for under $140

They suit an audience of tech enthusiasts and photographers and can even help bridge the gap for those with visual impairment. Amazon took its stab at them, introducing the Echo Frames in 2019 and updating them periodically since. Our expert liked them so much, he ditched his Meta Ray-Bans, which are more expensive.

Live Updates From Samsung Unpacked 🔴

New Samsung foldables and wearables are coming on Wednesday, July 9. The tech giant is throwing a summer “Unpacked” event in Brooklyn, NY, starting at 10 a.m. ET / 7 a.m. PT, to announce new versions of its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip foldables, and refreshed Galaxy Watch smartwatches. Teased last month, we’re expecting “Ultra-worthy” design and tech specs that will—hopefully—wow consumers into paying top dollar for phones with screens that bend in half. What does Samsung need to finally impress?

The Download: China’s winning at advanced manufacturing, and a potential TikTok sale

In 2013, a trio of academics showed convincing evidence that increased trade with China beginning in the early 2000s and the resulting flood of cheap imports had been an unmitigated disaster for many US communities, destroying their manufacturing lifeblood. The results of what they called the “China shock” were gut-wrenching: the loss of 1 million US manufacturing jobs and 2.4 million jobs in total by 2011. If in retrospect all that seems obvious, it’s only because the research by David Auto

This macaron-inspired power bank charges faster than most and fits in your pocket

TL;DR The new INIU P50 is a small, 10,000mAh power bank with 45W fast charging. It features TinyCell Pro technology for a compact size and can charge three devices simultaneously. It is available in new macaron-inspired colors and includes a digital display and detachable usb-c lanyard cable. Smartphone battery sizes haven’t increased much in the US in recent years (you can blame the government for that). While most phones can survive a day on a full charge, there are plenty of instances when

I’m fed up with ads on my Google TV, so I got rid of them with this third-party launcher

Joe Maring / Android Authority Ever since Android TV underwent its transformation to Google TV a few years ago, I have had mixed feelings about the subsequent redesign of the home screen interface. While I appreciate the more modern-looking interface on one hand, the number of sponsored content suggestions has steadily increased over the years to the point of frustration. Simply put, I find sponsored content unacceptable after paying a fair price for the underlying hardware. And unfortunately,

Apple steps in to save decade-long Cupertino transit project

Recently, Apple spent more than half a billion dollars to acquire two office campuses it had already been leasing. Now, it shelled out a few million more to avoid a potential traffic disaster in its own backyard. A long-planned overhaul of the Interstate 280 and Wolfe Road interchange, the junction between Apple Park and a massive upcoming housing development called The Rise, was on the brink of being canceled due to a funding shortfall. But Apple has stepped in with a $4 million contribution

Amazon Is Going All In For Prime Day, Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB SSD Is Cheaper Than Most Budget External SSDs

For users who desire the utmost performance for their laptop or PC, this 2TB SSD can be had for the price of just $139, down from $176, which is

What Is Li-Fi? Here's How Connecting to the Internet May Rely on Light

Yes, you heard that correctly. Connecting to the internet could be as simple as turning on the light. Picture this: Using this technology to connect to the internet promises speeds that will blow Wi-Fi out of the park. The average household requires more and more bandwidth, with users spending an average of 21-plus hours streaming weekly, according to the latest OpenVault report. That makes the promise of Li-Fi convenient. Li-Fi has made plenty of headlines lately, particularly about how it coul

The latest threat from the rise of Chinese manufacturing

If in retrospect all that seems obvious, it’s only because the research by David Autor, an MIT labor economist, and his colleagues has become an accepted, albeit often distorted, political narrative these days: China destroyed all our manufacturing jobs! Though the nuances of the research are often ignored, the results help explain at least some of today's political unrest. It’s reflected in rising calls for US protectionism, President Trump’s broad tariffs on imported goods, and nostalgia for t

Galaxy Watch 8 series specs and prices leak, and it’s expensive

TL;DR The specifications and the prices of the Galaxy Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, and Watch Ultra (2025) have leaked. The report also confirms the color variants of the three smartwatches, including a Noir (presumably, black) Watch 8 Classic. The Galaxy Watch Ultra remains largely unchanged, with the only notable exception being its additional blue color. The Samsung Unpacked event, set for later this week, has been preceded by a flurry of Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 leaks. While the foldables h

Lost for 300 Years, Pirate-Plundered Treasure Ship Discovered off Madagascar Coast

In 1721, pirates attacked and seized a Portuguese ship carrying a massive trove of treasure en route to Lisbon. Now, researchers believe they’ve discovered its remains off the coast of Madagascar. The discovery comes from two researchers from the Center for Historic Shipwreck Preservation in Massachusetts, who have conducted several studies on the wreckage over the last 16 years. They say new clues have revealed the ship’s identity as the Nossa Senhora do Cabo, a 700-ton warship. Their findings

People Are Using AI Chatbots to Guide Their Psychedelic Trips

Trey had struggled with alcoholism for 15 years, eventually drinking heavily each night before quitting in December. But staying sober was a struggle for the 36-year-old first responder from Atlanta, who did not wish to use his real name due to professional concerns. Then he discovered Alterd, an AI-powered journaling app that invites users to “explore new dimensions” geared towards psychedelics and cannabis consumers, meditators, and alcohol drinkers. In April, using the app as a tripsitter—a

ChatGPT is testing disruptive Study Together feature

OpenAI's "Study together" mode has been spotted in the wild, and it could help students prepare for exams directly from ChatGPT. We don't have the details yet, but references to ChatGPT Study Mode were first spotted in May, and testers noticed it widely earlier today. The Study together mode, which doesn't work right now, might allow students to either invite their friends to study on ChatGPT or have the AI act as a companion. We just don't know how it works yet, but it could disrupt the educ

The era of full stack chip designers

Disclaimer: Opinions shared in this, and all my posts are mine, and mine alone. They do not reflect the views of my employer(s), and are not investment advice. A few years back, when I was talking to a student that was interested in both the front-end and back-end stages in chip design, I made a cheeky remark that they should become a “Full Stack Chip Designer”. (I can’t remember who I was talking to, but if you are reading this, this post is dedicated to you!) It was a term I took from softwar

1945 TV Console Showed Two Programs at Once

As I try to write this article, my friend and I have six different screens attached to three types of devices. We’re working in the same room but on our own projects—separate yet together, a comfortable companionship. I had never really thought of the proliferation of screens as a peacekeeping tool until I stumbled across one of Allen B. DuMont’s 1950s dual-screen television sets. DuMont’s idea was to let two people in the same room watch different programs. It reminded me of my early childhood

Why English doesn't use accents

Portrait of Jean Miélot (after 1456), Jean le Tavernier Canterbury, AD 1105 The cold of the stone floor in the scriptorium creeps up through Godwin’s boots. He pays it no mind. Before him lies a copy of the Chronicle, just arrived from the old capital of Winchester. In it is written the history of the English people. His people. Today, his job is to make another copy. No difficult task for Godwin, or any monk. But Abbot Robert will want to inspect the work before vespers. Abbot Robert. A No

‘Daemons of the Shadow Realm’ WIll Be a ‘FullMetal Alchemist’ Anime Reunion

The enduring legacy of Hiromu Arakawa’s FullMetal Alchemist can be partially owed to its pair of anime adaptations by animation studio Bones. Since then, both creator and company have moved on to other ventures—the latter has notably adapted the likes of My Hero Academia and the newly premiered Gachiakuta, among others. Now, 15 years after FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood concluded, Bones is back at adapting Arakawa’s work, namely her fantasy manga Daemons of the Shadow Realm. During Crunchyrol

The main Reuters news account, as well as the Reuters World account, became inaccessible to X users in India on Saturday evening. Access was subsequently restored on Sunday. Reuters reports that Indian users attempting to view the @Reuters account — which has 25 million followers — instead saw a message stating that the account “has been withheld in IN (India) in response to a legal demand.” However, an Indian government spokesperson told TechCrunch, “There is no requirement from the Governmen

Bosses Are Using AI to Decide Who to Fire

Though most signs are telling us artificial intelligence isn't taking anyone's jobs, employers are still using the tech to justify layoffs, outsource work to the global South, and scare workers into submission. But that's not all — a growing number of employers are using AI not just as an excuse to downsize, but are giving it the final say in who gets axed. That's according to a survey of 1,342 managers by ResumeBuilder.com, which runs a blog dedicated to HR. Of those surveyed, 6 out of 10 admi
