Galaxy Buds 3 FE leak reveals a surprisingly premium design

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A reportedly leaked image shows the Galaxy Buds 3 FE look nearly identical to the Buds 3 Pro The FE model appears to use the Pro’s stemmed design with silicone tips, rather than the open AirPods-style Buds 3. Samsung has yet to confirm specs or a release date, and the leaked image has now been removed from X. Samsung may be working on a more affordable set of Fan Edition wireless earbuds, but you’d be hard-pressed to tell from the design. A newly leaked

Flickering lights? Blown breakers? Your home needs more power - here's what to do

PM Images/Getty The hair dryer routinely trips the breaker and kills power to the second floor. The kitchen lights dim when you run the microwave. The air conditioner can only cool one room at a time on a sweltering night. You don't have adequate power in your house to support your daily needs; we've all been there. These examples might be nostalgic for some, but if you can relate in your current living situation, you might be stuck at a CORE level 1 power-constrained state. Beyond the inconv

You’ll Be Able to Shoot People as the MCU Fantastic Four in *Two* Games This Week

Everyone loves a movie collab these days, and with Marvel being big in not just its own video game shooter and pretty tight with one of the other biggest shooters on the planet, it’s not too surprising that we’re going to be seeing a battle of the collabs this Friday as both Marvel Rivals and Fortnite prepare to welcome the MCU Fantastic Four. Rivals, of course, has had the First Family around for a little longer, having introduced Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben over the course of its first season

T-Mobile Upgrades Network With L4S to Improve Video Calls and Cloud Gaming

If you’re a T-Mobile customer, you may have noticed that your FaceTime calls have gotten smoother. That’s because the carrier announced today that it’s rolling out support for a new tech called Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable Throughput (L4S) across its 5G Advanced network. T-Mobile says it’s the first U.S. wireless provider to deploy L4S at scale, and it’s promising a noticeable boost to video calls and cloud gaming. L4S works by helping your phone or device stay ahead of network congestion b

Here’s why there are so few new cars for under $30,000

The affordability crisis affecting the US automobile market shows little signs of abating. The average price of a new car continues to rise: In June the average new vehicle MSRP was $51,124, according to Kelly Blue Book, with average transaction prices a little lower at $48,907. While one might imagine this has had a dampening effect on car sales, the opposite is true—the first half of 2025 has seen a robust market with some months seeing extremely high volumes. But most signs point to a tighten

Trump's Commerce Secretary Loves Tariffs. His Former Investment Bank Is Taking Bets Against Them

Cantor Fitzgerald, a financial services company led by the sons of US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, is creating a way for investors to bet that President Donald Trump’s signature tariffs will be struck down in court. Traders at the firm’s investment banking subsidiary, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., say they have the capacity to buy the rights to hundreds of millions of dollars in potential refunds from companies who have paid Trump’s tariffs, according to documents viewed by WIRED. Lutnick ran

Google adds separate work and personal accounts to Chrome on iOS

Google has introduced new features for Chrome on iOS that help users bifurcate work and personal data by using separate Google accounts. As more employers implement bring your own device (BYOD) policies, employees increasingly access company resources from browsers on their personal devices. Devices connected to a managed Google Workspace are able to leverage these additions. Chrome now supports easy account switching and data separation on iOS, similar to its approach on Android and Chrome for

Netflix just revealed AI-generated footage in a popular show for the first time - did you spot it?

Netflix Without realizing it, you may have already seen Netflix's first foray into AI-generated content. In its latest company earnings call, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos revealed that AI created part of a scene of a building collapsing in the new Netflix series The Eternaut, a post-apocalyptic drama about an alien invasion in Argentina. Also: I spoke with an AI version of myself, thanks to Hume's free tool - how to try it Sarandos framed the usage of generative AI tools as "an incredible opp

Experimental surgery performed by AI-driven surgical robot

Intuitive Surgical, an American biotechnology company, introduced DaVinci surgical robots in the late 1990s, and they became groundbreaking teleoperation equipment. Expert surgeons could operate on patients remotely, manipulating the robotic arms and their surgical tools based on a video feed from DaVinci’s built-in cameras and endoscopes. Now, John Hopkins University researchers put a ChatGPT-like AI in charge of a DaVinci robot and taught it to perform a gallbladder-removal surgery. Kuka sur

OpenAI's New CEO of Applications Strikes Hyper-Optimistic Tone in First Memo to Staff

OpenAI’s incoming CEO of applications, Fidji Simo, sent her first note to staff on Monday, telling employees the tools they’re developing “will unlock more opportunities for more people than any other technology in history.” “If we get this right, AI can give everyone more power than ever,” Simo wrote, striking a hyper-optimistic tone, according to a copy of the memo viewed by WIRED. “But I also realize those opportunities won’t magically appear on their own.” Simo previously worked as the CEO

The fan-made mod of the original Fallout game has a real trailer and it looks sick

Fallout: Bakersfield is a fan-made mod of the 1990s original that's been on our radar for a few years. We got a little teaser back in 2022 , but it's been radio silence since then. Now there's an actual trailer filled with gameplay footage and it looks pretty nifty. Developer Alexander "Red888guns" Berezin is the brains behind the project and he used the GZDoom engine to recreate the ghoul city of Necropolis from Fallout 1 as an FPS that resembles the newer games. The art style is pretty incred

Writing your Clojure tests in EDN files

Jacob O'Bryant | 19 Jul 2025 I've previously written about my latest approach to unit tests: [Y]ou define only the input data for your function, and then the expected return value is generated by calling your function. The expected value is saved to an EDN file and checked into source, at which point you ensure the expected value is, in fact, what you expect. Then going forward, the unit test simply checks that what the function returns still matches what’s in the EDN file. If it’s supposed to

Gemini with Deep Think officially achieves gold-medal standard at the IMO

The International Mathematical Olympiad (“IMO”) is the world’s most prestigious competition for young mathematicians, and has been held annually since 1959. Each country taking part is represented by six elite, pre-university mathematicians who compete to solve six exceptionally difficult problems in algebra, combinatorics, geometry, and number theory. Medals are awarded to the top half of contestants, with approximately 8% receiving a prestigious gold medal. Recently, the IMO has also become a

These Stylish Bluetooth Headphones With Unbelievable Battery Life Are Still a Steal After Prime Day

Discount available: Marshall's Major V headphones are worth it even at full price, but right now they're down to $111 -- or around 31% off -- on Amazon, which is still a great deal. I might not be a true battle-tested headphone expert like CNET's David Carnoy, but I still love headphones and I'm confident in what I like about them. My most recent pickup, the Marshall Major V on-ear Bluetooth headphones, quickly became a pair that I adore. What is Marshall? Marshall is a British audio hardware

Alaska Airlines Flights Resume After IT Outage. What to Do if You Were Affected

Alaska Airlines paused its operations for several hours, late on July 20. This was due to what the company called, "a significant IT outage" affecting its operations. About 3 hours later, flights resumed and the company posted on X: "Alaska Airlines has resolved its earlier IT outage and has resumed operations. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and encourage guests to check your flight status before heading to the airport." The delays affected Alaska Air and Horizon Air flights at

Researcher threatens X with lawsuit after falsely linking him to French probe

Elon Musk's X is refusing to hand over data to French authorities, claiming it's defending its users' free speech and privacy while branding a criminal investigation into alleged algorithm manipulation as "politically motivated." In a post on Monday, X's Global Government Affairs account denied the allegations, insisting the French investigation "egregiously undermines X’s fundamental right to due process and threatens our users’ rights to privacy and free speech."

AI voice company Hyper raises $6.3M to help automate 911 calls

“My whole life has been preparing me for this moment,” Ben Sanders said when asked about why he launched his emergency response startup Hyper. The company announced Monday a $6.3 million seed round led by Eniac Ventures, as well as an official emergence from stealth. As a child, he so wanted to become a police officer that he had his mother sew yellow stripes on his navy sweatpants. He wore that with an officer’s rain hat for an entire year. As he grew up, he worked at the intersection of tech

5 Android phones you should buy instead of the Galaxy Z Fold 7

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 doesn’t officially hit store shelves until later this month, but it’s already established itself as one of the most exciting foldable releases of the year. With its impressively thin and light design, larger screens, and better cameras, the Z Fold 7 makes a strong argument for being the folding phone to buy in 2025. Although the US isn’t teeming with foldable handsets the way other markets are, there are still options to choose fro

A circle and a hyperbola living in one plot

We will see that the 3D plot of \(x^2 + (y + zi)^2 = 1\), where \(x\), \(y\), \(z\) are real and \(i\) is the imaginary unit, contains both a circle and a hyperbola. This visualization sheds light on the complex eigenvalues of real matrices. Let’s start by expanding the equation \(x^2+(y+zi)^2 = 1\) and separating it into real and imaginary parts. We get: \[\begin{align*} &\text{Real Part:} &x^2 + y^2 - z^2 &= 1, \\ &\text{Imaginary Part:} &yz &= 0. \end{align*}\] The condition \(yz=0\) split

You can now buy eggs from in-ovo sexed hens

In polling, only 10% of Americans correctly identify that male chicks in the egg industry are killed shortly after hatching. A plurality mistakenly believe these chicks are raised for meat, and another 10% even think that male chickens can lay eggs. Most people are surprised, and often disturbed, to learn the truth: in the United States alone, approximately 350 million male chicks are routinely culled each year, typically by methods such as maceration (being ground up alive). However, when intr

Computer Glitch Grounds Every Alaska Airlines Flight

A computer outage forced Alaska Airlines and its subsidiary Horizon Air to ground all flights Sunday night, halting operations across the board. On Monday, the airline said that operations were coming back online. The airline requested a system-wide ground stop from federal aviation authorities at about 11 p.m. ET on Sunday night. That stop remained in effect until around 2 a.m. ET Monday, when the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed it had been lifted. But disruptions didn’t end there. A

This Modder Is Making a Retro Gaming Handheld That Plays Actual SNES Cartridges

We’re in a renaissance of retro tech thanks to modders willing to push the envelope of old-school gaming. Take this ongoing project to scale down an old Nintendo SNES mainboard so it can fit in a device you can hold comfortably in your hands. Even better, it will eventually be able to play the actual cartridges going all the way back to 1990. This latest DIY design comes from tinkerer YveltalGriffin. You may have heard of them from their work on the Nintendo Kawaii, an open-source mod for the N
