The Best Open Earbuds You Can Buy Aren’t Actually Earbuds at All

Back in my day, the name of the game when it came to wireless audio was noise cancellation. That’s to say, how much noise can your wireless earbuds possibly block? And sure, active noise-cancellation (ANC) wireless earbuds are probably never going to fall out of vogue entirely, but in recent years, audio companies have recognized that it is, in fact, nice to sometimes be aware of your surroundings. Thus, a market for open earbuds was created. If you’re not familiar with “open earbuds,” as they’

The battery-powered Lunar Roving Vehicle, or “moon buggy,” could travel up to a cool 12 miles per hour, and took astronauts on longer journeys than previously possible during brief, cumbrous walks in their bulky suits.

El Salvador’s Crypto President Could Stay in Power for Decades After Changes to Constitution

That means President Nayib Bukele, a far-right crypto enthusiast who’s allied with President Donald Trump, could potentially stay in power for the rest of his natural life. First elected in 2019 on a promise to crack down on gangs, Bukele was supposed to be prohibited from running for re-election in 2024. But the countr
