Poll: Who’s got the best color options, iPhone 17 or Pixel 10?

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority For as nice as it can be to feel safe and sound by wrapping your expensive new smartphone tightly in a protective case, there’s also a lot to be said for living a little dangerously and showing off the actual hardware — especially when it’s available in some really appealing colors. That’s just we got this year from the Pixel 10 series, as Google updated its lineup with arguably some of the best Pixel color options in years. Don’t want to miss the best from A

Xiaomi launches a pocket-sized Android-powered e-reader with a stupid amount of storage

Google Pixel Flex 67W USB-C Fast Charger review: Protocol perfection with one pretty huge oversight

Google Pixel Flex Dual Port 67W USB-C Fast Charger Google's 67W dual-port charger supports the latest and greatest USB Power Delivery standards and impressive split-power capabilities that'll effortlessly fast-charge your new Pixel and much more. However, Pixel-priority charging causes headaches when mixing and matching gadgets. Along with the new Pixel 10, I’m lucky enough to have the latest Google Pixel Flex Dual Port 67W USB-C Fast Charger in hand (technically the UK version, but the US unit

Health Connect will soon track your steps without needing another app

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google is adding native step tracking to Health Connect, changing its function from just a data hub for other apps. This marks a significant shift, as Health Connect will now be able to collect its own data directly from the phone’s sensors. This could be the first step in turning Health Connect into a comprehensive health platform, though the feature isn’t fully working yet. If you want to improve your health, there’s no shortage of services you can

Why choosing between the iPhone Air and the Pro isn’t easy for everyone

Apple’s hardware design chief said yesterday the company knew it would be hard for some to choose between the new iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max. That isn’t true for everyone, of course. For some, the decision will be very straightforward – but I can see how it could be tricky for others … If I think back to some of the tech purchases I’ve made over the years, there have been many cases where the decision was straightforward. Either the best product for my needs was immediately ob

Hot Chips 2025: Session 1 – CPUs

Samsung taking market share from Apple in U.S. as foldable phones gain momentum

In this article AAPL Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT In 2014, Apple and Samsung were duking it out to rule the U.S. smartphone market. Samsung was selling devices with large screens, and iPhone fans were demanding a response. It took Apple some time, but the company finally released the iPhone 6, breaking with previous iterations and giving consumers a large-screen option. The iPhone won. But more than a decade later, recent smartphone sales and shipment figures signal that the

How the tz database works (2020)

2020-11-08 The other day I ran into this timezone issue in Ruby, and that’s when I discovered the tz database for the first time. There were almost no blog posts explaining how it works, so I decided to write one myself. We’ll be using the alpine:3.12 Docker image to test things out. What is it? The tz database is a standardized collection of timezone data and rules used by most systems worldwide to handle timezone conversions. Here are the official documentation and the source code on GitH

PgEdge Goes Open Source

In November last year after nearly two decades at my previous gig, I came to the conclusion that I didn’t want to work at what seemed to be rapidly becoming an AI-focused company and moved to pgEdge where the focus is well and truly on distributed PostgreSQL and Postgres generally. Distributed databases (and particularly Postgres of course) have always been a passion of mine – even being a key topic of my master’s dissertation many years ago. Moving to pgEdge was a breath of fresh air. Not only

Pure and Impure Software Engineering

Why do solo game developers tend to get into fights with big tech engineers? Why do high-profile external hires to large companies often fizzle out? Why is AI-assisted development amazing for some engineers and completely useless for others? I think it’s because some engineers are doing very different kinds of work to other engineers. Those two types of engineers often assume their counterparts are simply incompetent, but they’re really just working in different fields. Pure and impure enginee

DeepCodeBench: Real-World Codebase Understanding by Q&A Benchmarking

At Qodo, we’ve created a new benchmark dataset of real-world questions derived from large, complex code repositories. We are excited to release the dataset, methodology, and prompts used in its creation to support further research and development. Motivation Enterprises often maintain massive codebases that are difficult for any individual developer to navigate and fully understand. Whether onboarding, doing routine development, or using AI-assisted workflows, teams often have questions about

Reshaped is now open source

About five years ago, I started Reshaped. I built it for myself, since I had a few projects in urgent need of a component library for both React and Figma. Having worked in the design systems space for over a decade, I had developed a clear sense of what a good design system should be — and what tends to go wrong in others. I noticed that no matter how trends evolve, around 80% of the web is still built on the same core design practices. So I set out to build a system that covers that 80%, whil

The 5 Healthiest Air Fryer Foods, According to Registered Dietitians

When it comes to frying food with less oil, air fryers can't be beat. "Air fryer cooking delivers the crispy texture we know and love from fried foods but with far less oil and fat than traditional deep frying," explains Melissa Jaeger, head of nutrition at nutrition tracking app MyFitnessPal. To find out which are the healthiest foods you can cook in an air fryer, we consulted registered dieticians for their recipes and expert air fryer tips. 1.

NotebookLM: These AI Tools Can Help You Study and Learn

When I was in high school, there were some subjects you couldn't have paid me to study for, like math or government. I can't help but think about how different things might have been if I'd had something like NotebookLM available to help me care about and study for those subjects I actively avoided. It probably would have made me a much better student. NotebookLM is a solid AI research assistant, and it really shines as a tool for students. What sets it apart from other AI tools is that it does

Philips Hue's Latest Update Makes Your Lights and Doorbells Way Smarter

Philips Hue just made a big play in the smart home space at the IFA tech expo, confirming a wave of new products after leaks surfaced earlier this week. The lineup includes motion-sensing smart bulbs, a redesigned video doorbell with a sharper 2K fisheye camera and new light strips -- all designed to expand Hue's reach beyond traditional lighting. One of the biggest changes comes with the launch of Hue's new Essential bulb line. The standard A19/E26 bulbs are priced lower than the company's usu

4 Clever Apps That Save You Money and Reduce Food Waste

I grew up in a household where wasting food was frowned upon, so I always felt guilty if I didn’t go through all the leftovers in my fridge before they got spoiled. Lately, it seems like most people are trying to be eco-conscious about not wasting food. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, an American family of four loses approximately $1,500 per year on food waste. This figure changes based on the cost of food and the size of a family, with some evidence showing that families w

OpenAI Hopes Animated 'Critterz' Will Prove AI Is Ready for the Big Screen

Can generative AI animate a decent movie? That question's getting an early test. OpenAI and production studio Vertigo Films have announced a plan to create a feature-length adaptation of a 2023 short film made as a demonstration for OpenAI's Dall-E image generator. The film, called Critterz, will have a budget of less than $30 million. Producers hope to make the movie in about nine months, in time for the Cannes Film Festival next May, according to The Wall Street Journal. The original short

The Apple Watch SE 3 May Be the Biggest Underdog of Apple's Entire Fall Lineup

Apple debuted a new lineup of iPhones, Apple Watches, AirPods Pros and even a brand new thinner-than-ever iPhone Air. But the real headliner (at least in this frugal girl's book), was the one I least expected: the Apple Watch SE 3. I usually overlook Apple's SE model because it lacks many of the powerhouse features of the flagship and Ultra editions, like an always-on display or temperature tracking. But this year, the underdog Apple Watch SE 3 is closing the gap, and at $249 for the base model

Can we please keep our broadband money, Republican governor asks Trump admin

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has a simple request for the Trump administration: Don't take our broadband money away. Trump's Commerce Department rewrote the rules of the $42 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) grant program, forcing states to change how they spend money earmarked for expanding broadband access. The overhaul led states to reduce spending on fiber networks and increase spending on satellite—although not to the extent sought by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who is de

SpaceX Targets 2026 to Test Orbital Flight for Next-Gen Starship Vehicle

It has been two weeks since SpaceX’s last Starship test flight, and engineers have diagnosed issues with its heat shield, identified improvements, and developed a preliminary plan for the next time the ship heads into space. Bill Gerstenmaier, a SpaceX executive in charge of build and flight reliability, presented the findings Monday at the American Astronautical Society’s Glenn Space Technology Symposium in Cleveland. The rocket lifted off on August 26 from SpaceX’s launch pad in Starbase, Te

Crispr Offers New Hope for Treating Diabetes

Crispr gene-editing technology has demonstrated its revolutionary potential in recent years: It has been used to treat rare diseases, to adapt crops to withstand the extremes of climate change, or even to change the color of a spider’s web. But the greatest hope is that this technology will help find a cure for a global disease, such as diabetes. A new study points in that direction. For the first time, researchers succeeded in implanting Crispr-edited pancreatic cells in a man with type 1 diab

Status Audio Pro X Review: The Best High-End Earbuds?

Never heard of Status Audio? I don’t blame you. The New York City-based company has been essentially operating under the radar ever since founder James Bertuzzi launched its first product, the wired CB-1 headphones, in 2016. Several wireless headphones followed, and Status eventually created two wireless earbuds, the Between Pro ($169) in 2021 and Between 3ANC ($249) in 2023. They were both well received and proved popular with buyers, perhaps helped by their quirky yet super-comfy square shape

A California bill that would regulate AI companion chatbots is close to becoming law

The California State Assembly took a big step toward regulating AI on Wednesday night, passing SB 243 — a bill that regulate AI companion chatbots in order to protect minors and vulnerable users. The legislation passed with bipartisan support and now heads to the state Senate for a final vote Friday. If Governor Gavin Newsom signs the bill into law, it would take effect January 1, 2026, making California the first state to require AI chatbot operators to implement safety protocols for AI compan

Samsung calls iPhone 17 keynote a ‘Zzz-note,’ forgets Galaxy S25 series exists

TL;DR Samsung has criticized Apple’s iPhone 17 series launch as a “Zzz-note.” The company made the comments as part of a competition announcement on Twitter. This comes despite Samsung’s own Galaxy S25 phones being conservative upgrades. Apple announced the iPhone 17 series this week, and there are a few reasons to be excited about these devices. All models have a nifty square selfie camera, there’s a super-slim iPhone Air (if you care about a slim and light design), and Pro models get a 48MP

The best streaming deals: Get half off one year of Paramount+, plus save on Apple Music, Disney+ and more

If you’ve been shocked by how much you spend on streaming services lately, you’re not alone. Companies like Netflix, Disney, Max and others have been consistently raising prices to the point where you may question if streaming is even worth it anymore. We at Engadget still think it is, but we also think you should be smart with your money — and that’s where streaming deals come in. Yes, it is possible to get discounts on services like Peacock and Paramount+, even if those deals aren’t as common
