The Lenovo Legion Go S (with Windows) makes so many mistakes I can’t figure out how we got here

Lenovo Legion Go S with Windows The Windows-powered Legion Go S isn't a total bust from Lenovo. The display is great, and so are the speakers. There are also some nice software features, including fully customizable buttons. However, there are so many confusing choices here that ruin the experience: the quad-core Ryzen Z2 Go chipset leaves much to be desired, the whole thing is too heavy, there's no "gotta have it" feature, and poor hardware decisions (like the tiniest trackpad on Earth) make it

Does Apple’s C1 chip mean mmWave 5G is dead?

Apple achieved a major milestone yesterday, when it launched an iPhone with its own in-house modem instead of a Qualcomm one: the C1 chip. This has been a key goal for the company for a great many years for two reasons, so finally ticking the box is a pretty big moment … The twin benefits of the C1 chip As we noted yesterday, ditching a Qualcomm modem for the C1 is a double-win for Apple. First, Qualcomm’s fee structure, which Apple has long considered unfair. When Apple bought modem chips f

Visual Intelligence feature coming to iPhone 15 Pro with a future iOS update

Apple Intelligence is available for iPhone 15 Pro and later, but there’s an exclusive feature for iPhone 16 models, which is Visual Intelligence. Some believed this was because the iPhone 15 Pro lacks Camera Control, but that all changed with the iPhone 16e – which supports Visual Intelligence. Now Apple has confirmed that the feature will soon be available to iPhone 15 Pro owners too. Apple confirms Visual Intelligence is coming to iPhone 15 Pro An Apple spokesperson told Daring Fireball’s Jo

The Oppo Find N5 is an impressive, very thin foldable with a giant battery

Oppo is back with a new foldable, and the Find N5 is a technically impressive balance of thinness and power. Skipping over the whole unlucky number four thing (this is technically the fourth iteration of the Find foldable), the company claims its latest book-style foldable is the world’s thinnest at 8.92mm. That's not a lot thicker than a typical flagship phone. Despite that, the Find N5 has a 6.62-inch outer display and an 8.12-inch inner screen which, Oppo says, features multiple durability im

This $25 wireless charger is better than Apple's product (and comes with a long cord)

ZDNET's key takeaways The Anker MagGo Qi2 magnetic wireless charger pad is available for only $25. It's a cheap high-speed Qi2 compatible wireless charger, but well-built and features a long cord. There is no charger included with the standard option (this kit costs an additional $9). $24.99 at Amazon Recently, I've seen more and more power banks integrating wireless charging capabilities, such as the Anker MagGo Qi2. These devices are appealing for their ability to attach directly to the bac

I tested Oppo's super-thin foldable for a week, and it made my iPhone 16 Pro feel ordinary

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET The world's thinnest book-style foldable, the Oppo Find N5, is finally here. I've had it for a week, and it has surprised me in more ways than one -- both positively and negatively. At 8.93mm thick when folded, it's closer to slab phones than any other foldable has ever been. But that slimness didn't come without compromises. Judging by the on-paper camera specifications, I expected it to be underwhelming, but it's better than other foldable phones in almost every regard.

Oura's CEO wants its smart ring to be the doctor in your pocket

ZDNET I've been wearing an Oura Ring for over a year. Whenever I'm asked about my thoughts on the device, I say that the Oura Ring is one of the few products that nearly always does exactly what it claims to do. The ring can predict when you're about to get sick, catch variations in your heart rate, provide an accurate list of ingredients to log after you take a photo of your breakfast, and document your physical and emotional stress in real time. I'll never forget how it captured my sky-high

Netflix's 'Leaving Soon' Label Is Enough to Give Some Very Random Titles a Major Boost

Every week, Netflix reveals its Top 10 lists, ranking its most-viewed movies and TV shows. While many of these top titles are expected, others can surprise; here's where we try to make sense of those seemingly random hits. "I read this post on Reddit" is always a risky way to start a conversation, but here I go… I recently saw a Reddit thread from a few years ago where a poster suggested that Netflix create an entire category on its homepage to showcase content that's leaving the platform soon.

Apple's iPhone 16E Brings Apple Intelligence Features With a Cheaper Price Tag

Until now, Apple Intelligence has been reserved for the cool kids – aka, the people with the latest, most powerful iPhones. Now, the $599 (£599, AU$999) iPhone 16E is here to shake that up. Apple's latest version of its budget phone line invariably cuts corners when it comes to design and camera specs, but it doesn't hold back with AI. Equipped with an A18 chip -- just like the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus -- the more affordable phone can power a suite of Apple Intelligence features including notifica

Alienware Aurora R16 Desktop Review: An Interesting Option, but Not the Smartest Pick

It has always had more going on with style and performance.

Google Ad-Tech Users Can Target National Security ‘Decision Makers’ and People With Chronic Diseases

A WIRED investigation into the inner workings of Google’s advertising ecosystem reveals that a wealth of sensitive information on Americans is being openly served up to some of the world’s largest brands despite the company’s own rules against it. Experts say that when combined with other data, this information could be used to identify and target specific individuals.

Oppo Find N5 review: the final evolution of foldables

Oppo’s Find N5 feels like the end game for foldable phones. Not because it’s make or break for a segment of the phone market that never quite took off like manufacturers hoped it would, but because I simply don’t know where we go from here. There’s scarcely room to make the phone thinner without ditching USB-C entirely; battery life, performance, and even cameras are now on par with other flagship phones; and this time, Oppo even managed to fit wireless charging and water resistance in, too. Thi

Oppo’s new foldable can remote control a Mac

Today Oppo launched the Find N5, the thinnest book-style foldable phone yet, but there’s more to the phone than a slim design: it’s capable of connecting to a Mac for file transfers and even remote control. It’s not quite the first Android phone to do so, but it is the only one you can buy outside of China. To link the Find N5 with a Mac you first have to install Oppo’s O Plus Connect app on the Mac, which will be available from Oppo’s website — I’ve been testing out a beta version. Linking the

The iPhone is done with home buttons — here’s why I’ll miss it

For the first time since the iPhone’s debut in 2007, Apple no longer sells a smartphone with a home button. The iPhone 16E announced yesterday removes it. The removal was long overdue, having been surpassed by all touchscreen controls many years ago. But while the home button’s time is over, it leaves behind an important legacy. The home button was crucial to the first iPhone, but it was also jarring; no other phone at that time had basically no buttons. It was both a gamble and a necessary inn

Valar Atomics comes out of stealth with $19M and a pilot reactor site

Companies developing small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) have raised more than $1.5 billion in the past year, as tech companies hunger for power to train AI models and governments decide to commit to the industry. For example, X-energy raised $700 million this month, and Paris-based Newcleo raised $151 million last year, and one would be remiss to not mention the $700 million invested into Oklo, NuScale and Nano Nuclear for similar projects in the U.S. While nuclear fusion still looks relati

Immutable-backed Inevitable Games Fund grows 180% in 9 months

Humane wrapped its bet against the iPhone in the cloak of AI and lost

The Ai Pin is officially dead. Parts of Humane have been sold to HP, and the Ai Pin will cease to function in a week. Cause of death? An outdated and undercooked bet against the iPhone made by former Apple engineers that Humane tried to disguise as artificial intelligence hardware. Bloomberg reports that HP has agreed to acquire assets from Humane for $116 million. Humane’s sole product, Ai Pin, won’t become an HP product. Instead, HP will put the parts of Humane that it is acquiring into its A

Google Lens powering new Screen Search in Chrome for iOS

Google is more deeply integrating Lens visual search into Chrome for iOS with a new Screen Search capability that takes after Circle to Search on Android. Meanwhile, Google Lens can now recognize more unique images. Chrome on the iPhone and iPad already has an instance of Lens that lets you take a picture or analyze a screenshot. You can now “Search Screen with Google Lens” as you’re browsing the web or watching a video. Instead of manually taking a screenshot, you’ll find that new shortcut in

iPhone 16e camera seems to lack latest-generation Photographic Styles

With the iPhone 16 lineup, Apple has completely revamped the Photographic Styles feature – which was first introduced with the iPhone 13. However, despite the new iPhone 16e having almost the same hardware as its more expensive siblings, the device seems to lack the latest-generation Photographic Styles. iPhone 16e and Photographic Styles Based on Apple’s official webpage that compares different iPhone models, only the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro feature the latest-generation Photographic Styl

Apple Podcasts Connect will go down for up to eight hours next week

Heads up, fellow podcasters. Apple has announced some scheduled downtime for Podcasts Connect next week. The downtime is planned for next Saturday morning. Apple shared the following today: On March 1, starting at 6:00 a.m. PST, Apple Podcasts Connect will be unavailable for up to eight hours. Access to Apple Podcasts Connect and Analytics will not be available during this time. Hopefully, this scheduled maintenance improves processing speeds for members-only content on the back end.

The iPhone 16e's lack of MagSafe doesn't make sense

The iPhone 16e, Apple's replacement for the iPhone SE, has plenty of features that make it a good deal, from its A18 chip to the fact that it actually comes with an OLED screen. But one glaring omission in its spec sheet makes no sense: Why doesn't this $599 phone have MagSafe? Despite looking a lot like an iPhone 14, and using components that are similar to the iPhone 16, the iPhone 16e doesn't support MagSafe or fast wireless charging. Apple expects iPhone 16e owners to be happy with the same

Mexico issues legal threat to Google

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports On Jan. 20, United States President Donald Trump signed an executive order renaming the “Gulf of Mexico” to “Gulf of America.” Last week, Google Maps officially changed the name of the gulf on its maps, sparking a flurry of memes and conversation on social media, and Mexico is now threatening legal action if they don’t change it back. In a press conference on Monday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said that Mexico will sue Google if the company does not
