Eero Pro 7 Review: Smooth Sailing

wired.com Simon Hill 2025-12-07 20:00:00

Amazon’s Eero mesh range is tough to beat for folks seeking a set-and-forget mesh Wi-Fi system for their home. Simplicity, with a side of smart home support, makes the Eero Pro 7 a compelling prospect. It strikes a nice balance in Eero’s Wi-Fi 7 lineup, offering the faster 6-GHz band and better all-around performance than the entry-level Eero 7, while costing far less than the top-of-the-line Max 7. While I experienced teething troubles with systems like the Max 7 when Wi-Fi 7 was new, my time

This American nuclear company could help India’s thorium dream

technologyreview.com Alexander C. Kaufman 2025-12-08 04:56:45

“This license marks a turning point, not just for Clean Core but for the US-India civil nuclear partnership,” says Mehul Shah, the company's chief executive and founder. “It places thorium at the center of the global energy transformation.” Thorium has long been seen as a good alternative to uranium because it’s more abundant, produces both smaller amounts of long-lived radioactive waste and fewer byproducts with centuries-long half-lives, and reduces the risk that materials from the fuel cycle

Qualcomm’s next Elite processor could have a ridiculously confusing name

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-08 03:02:12

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has claimed that the next Snapdragon 8 Elite chip could be called the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. This is a major departure from the expected Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 or 8 Elite Gen 2 names. We’re guessing this is because Qualcomm is readying an apparent Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip as well. Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 8 Elite late last year, and this represented a change in naming convention after the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. We were expecting the Snap

Why my 12-year-old Kindle is still my favorite piece of tech

I’m a tech guy with plenty of gadgets I use regularly. These include my phone, tablet, smartwatch, Bluetooth speaker, laptop, headphones, earbuds, and more. But when I look at my electronics lineup, one device sticks out as a symbol of what great technology should be. It was cheap, is old, but still looks almost as new, and I have no reason whatsoever to buy a new one. It’s my Kindle, and I love everything about it.

Google’s working on making it easier to find calls you’ve recorded (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-08 04:30:12

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s Phone app supports call recording in select areas. Earlier this year we saw the Phone app picking up new filters to sort through your call log. Now the app appears to be working on a filter to quickly display calls that have been recorded. Being able to easily record a voice call is exactly the sort of thing a smartphone should be useful for, but messy legal concerns keep the feature from being nearly as ubiquitous as it should be.

Google has also been busy overhauling its Google Phone app with a load of Material 3 Expressive changes.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is a sleek, lightweight smartwatch that combines smart features with the robust health tracking of Samsung Health. It's pricier than the Galaxy Watch 7, but it's also a smartwatch that I've genuinely enjoyed wearing and using all day and all night, and that's priceless.

The OnePlus 15 could put the Pixel 10 Pro to shame for base storage

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The OnePlus 15 will apparently start at 12GB/256GB storage, all the way to 16GB/1TB. This means the phone will have more base storage than the Pixel 10 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro.

Infamous ‘Erin Brockovich’ Toxin Polluted Air for Months After LA Fires

The January wildfires left many scars on the city of Los Angeles, from rubble-reduced homes to torched abandoned vehicles. Though cleanup crews quickly cleared much of the debris, one alarming invisible impact lingered over the city for months, a new study suggests. In late March—more than two months after the flames died out—researchers detected levels of carcinogenic hexavalent chromium (a.k.a. chromium-6) 200 times greater than baseline levels for LA air.

We Asked Dentists: What's the Best Whitening Toothpaste of 2025?

Why we like it: Colgate Optic White Pro Series toothpaste is one whitening toothpaste that Dr. Fatima Khan, a dentist in Houston, Texas, recommends. Some of her reasons for recommending it include its trusted brand name and its 5% hydrogen peroxide whitening agent. Unlike other whitening agents that work by removing stains on the surface of the tooth, hydrogen peroxide can get inside the tooth so it whitens intrinsically as well as extrinsically.

The health supplement market is booming. Thanks to a 1994 FDA ruling that supplements are food and not medicine, it's also unregulated—people are purchasing products that may or may not work, and which could have almost anything in them.
