Apple accuses Android brand of trade secret theft in wearable tech showdown

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Apple is suing OPPO, accusing the company of stealing Apple Watch trade secrets through a former employee. Engineer Chen Shi allegedly downloaded 63 confidential files and shared research details with OPPO before leaving Apple. Apple claims OPPO encouraged Shi’s actions to gain an unfair advantage in wearable tech development. Corporate espionage is more common than many of us realize, but two tech giants are at the center of a particularly dramatic e

Apple drags ex-Apple Watch engineer to court over Oppo trade secret leak

Every now and then, we hear about Apple going after ex-employees who allegedly try to take trade secrets with them when they get hired by the competition. That’s the case with Chen Shi, a former Sensor System Architect for the Apple Watch team. Here are the details. According to Apple’s claim, Shi worked at the company from January 2020 until a couple of months ago, when he left to go work for Oppo, a Chinese company that also makes phones and wearables, like the Oppo Watch. Apple says that in

The Radioactive Shrimp Recall Gets Jumbo-Sized

The Food and Drug Administration issued an alert earlier this week about shrimp sold at Walmart over concerns that it could be radioactive. And now more shrimp are being added to the list. Southwind Foods, a company based in Carson, California, is voluntarily recalling a limited quantity of frozen shrimp due to possible contamination with Cesium-137, according to a press release from the FDA. Cs-137 is a radioisotope of cesium that is not naturally occurring but has been present in our environm

When Starship Comes to Florida, Expect 2-Hour Flight Delays, FAA Warns

SpaceX aims to expand its Starship operations to Cape Canaveral, Florida, with a goal of launching 44 super heavy-lift rockets per year. If regulators approve this plan, the uptick in launch activity could result in more ground stops, reroutes, and flight delays at major airports throughout the Sunshine State, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. In a draft environmental impact statement released this month, the FAA states that airports such as Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood Internation

The next Starship flight will test much more than hardware

SpaceX is gearing up to launch its massive Starship rocket from South Texas, a test that gives the company a chance to reverse a brutal few months of mishaps on the ground and in the air. The last Starship test flight was nearly three months ago, and it notched a milestone: the first reuse of a Super Heavy booster. But that mission ended with the upper stage, also called Starship, or Ship, breaking apart on reentry and the booster exploding over the Gulf during the landing burn phase of flight.

Scientists are building cyborg jellyfish to explore ocean depths

Climate change is warming ocean waters, making the environment more acidic thanks to the absorption of carbon monoxide from the atmosphere. This endangers various marine species, and monitoring those changes is vitally important. But it can be challenging to reach the deepest waters without the aid of very expensive equipment. Moon jellyfish can swim to those depths, however, making them a potential ally in the quest to study the deep ocean. That's why researchers at the University of Colorado

‘Dandadan’ Studio Apologizes for Its Exorcism Rock Opera Homaging Too Close to the Sun

As the second season reaches its midpoint, Dan Da Dan studio Science Saru has been unapologetic about its abundant references to pop culture and music as it adapts Yukunobi Tatsu’s manga, which is also pretty heavy-handed with similar nods and homages. However, the studio recently issued an apology to the Japanese rock band, X Japan, following an homage featured in an episode centered around a power metal exorcism song that may have homaged too close to the sun. In a post on its official X/Twit

Netflix's Splinter Cell: Deathwatch animated series arrives on October 14

Ubisoft still isn’t giving us a new Splinter Cell game, but Sam Fisher fans are at least getting an animated TV adaptation very soon. At this week’s Anime NYC convention, Netflix revealed a new teaser trailer for the upcoming Splinter Cell: Deathwatch and confirmed that the series will come to the service on October 14. Written by John Wick creator Derek Kolstad and starring Liev Schreiber as an older — but still decidedly badass — Sam Fisher, Splinter Cell: Deathwatch was first announced back

YC-backed Oway raises $4M to build a decentralized ‘Uber for freight’

Thousands of semi trucks that cut across the U.S. highway system each day are harboring a secret: they’re only about half full. That inefficiency represents a multi-billion dollar opportunity. And one that a few companies like Uber Freight and Flock Freight are already chasing as part of broader business models that match truck drivers with companies selling goods. San Francisco-based startup Oway is seeking out a narrower business model that more closely resembles Uber for freight, especially

Best Electric Toothbrushes You Can Buy in 2025, Tested by Experts

CNET/Caroline Igo The electric toothbrushes in this section weren't my favorites, but they have some qualities worth mentioning. One of these might be the right choice for you, so we felt it was worthwhile to include them. Oral-B iO2 Since I love the Oral-B iO Series 5 so much (it’s been my main toothbrush for over two years now), I was sent the new Oral-B iO2 electric toothbrush to test. It has the same brushing power and feel as the Series 5. It has three cleaning modes, a pressure sensor a

I gave the police access to my DNA—and maybe some of yours

This process, called forensic investigative genetic genealogy, or FIGG, has since helped solve hundreds of murders and sexual assaults. Still, while the technology is potent, it’s incompletely realized. It operates via a mishmash of private labs and unregulated websites, like FamilyTree, which give users a choice to opt into or out of police searches. The number of profiles available for search by police hovers around 1.5 million, not yet enough to find matches in all cases. To do my bit to inc

Google is supercharging screenshot editing on your Pixel with Android 16 QPR2 Beta 1

The feature was first spotted by Telegram user Omar Tosca, who also shared a demo video of how it works with us (see above). Once you capture a screenshot, tapping the edit button launches Pixel Studio instead of the usual editor. From there, you can crop the image, highlight specific areas, or even select a portion of the screenshot for AI-assisted edits. Once an area in the screenshot is selected, you can simply describe the change you want, and the AI applies it. In Tosca’s video, for example

Dante and Vergil Meet Again in ‘Devil May Cry’ Season 2 Teaser

With the rift machine destroyed in Devil May Cry season one, thanks to Dante (Johnny Yong Bosch), the demon hunter’s down-on-his-luck fate appeared to be turning around after being humanity’s salvation. That was, of course, until the shocking reveal that his brother was still alive. The latest teaser for the Adi Shankar and Netflix animated series drops more surprises for season two. Dante’s brother, Vergil (Robbie Daymond), is back, and this time he’s working with the demons after the defeat o

Netflix’s ‘Splinter Cell: Deathwatch’ Brings Sam Fisher Out of Retirement

Fans of stealth video games likely have a soft spot in their hearts for Splinter Cell. Ubisoft’s sub-series of stealth-action games endorsed by Tom Clancy has been MIA for over a decade, even with a remake of the original game on the horizon. After doing guest roles in other Clancy games and in Netflix’s Far Cry anime, series lead Sam Fisher is back in all his shadowy glory in Splinter Cell: Deathwatch. Developed by John Wick alum Derek Kolstad, the animated series sees Fisher—voiced by Liev Sc

Feds investigate Tesla over inaccurate autopilot and FSD crash reports

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) just announced an investigation into Tesla regarding its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD) systems, according to a report by Electrek. The road safety regulator says the probe involves inconsistencies with how the company reports crashes regarding the aforementioned systems.

Qualcomm could release not one, but two flagship Snapdragon chips this year

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Leaks suggest Qualcomm is preparing two new top-tier SoCs: the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 (SM8850) and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (SM8845). The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is said to feature Qualcomm’s custom Oryon CPU cores and share the same TSMC process as the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Curiously, a Snapdragon 8s Gen 5 isn’t expected anytime soon. Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset late last year for Android flagships. With it, the company also took the opp

UK faces legal challenge over attempt to force through data center development

The U.K. government is facing a legal challenge from campaigners over its decision to override a local authority and wave through development of a new "hyperscale" data center. Last year, the local authority of Buckinghamshire, England, denied planning permission for proposals to build a new 90-megawatt data center on green belt land. The green belt is a term in British town planning that refers to an area of open land on which building is restricted. Data centers, large facilities that house

A statistical analysis of Rotten Tomatoes

Intro: Why Is Everything "Certified Fresh"? I stayed in a hotel recently, which means I watched cable television, which means I consumed commercials that I could not skip—and some of these commercials advertised upcoming movie releases. Promo after promo, I noticed an unmistakable pattern: every film was "Certified Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes, with this seal of approval serving as the ad's climactic selling point. After five days of "Certified Fresh" movie propaganda, I began to grow suspicious.
