Smooth weighted round-robin balancing

For edge case weights like { 5, 1, 1 } we now produce { a, a, b, a, c, a, a } sequence instead of { c, b, a, a, a, a, a } produced previously. Algorithm is as follows: on each peer selection we increase current_weight of each eligible peer by its weight, select peer with greatest current_weight and reduce its current_weight by total number of weight points distributed among peers. In case of { 5, 1, 1 } weights this gives the following sequence of current_weight's: a b c 0 0 0 (initial state) 5

Hands-on: The clever Beats Kickstand case for iPhone 17

Lost in the barrage of iPhone 17 news last week was a new lineup of cases from Apple’s Beats subsidiary.

DOJ aims to break up Google’s ad business as antitrust case resumes

Google is back in court, hoping to avoid a painful breakup of its advertising business. US District Judge Leonie Brinkema has already ruled that Google operated an illegal monopoly in digital advertising, and now it's time to learn the consequences of that behavior. Google's had mixed luck with antitrust rulings lately, but it's not a great sign that Google has so many legal woes that it can be hard to keep them all straight. The case that just got underway is the remedy phase of the AdTech tri

MagSafe Monday: SUPCASE MagSafe Wallet with AirTag Holder review and hands on

MagSafe wallets usually lean toward being slim, but SUPCASE continues to go the other direction with function over form. The SUPCASE MagSafe Wallet with AirTag Holder is thicker than most MagSafe wallets, but in exchange you get more storage, AirTag support, and a built-in stand. Some of my favorite gear Abode Home Security System Abode is the best home security system and includes compatibility with HomeKit.

California issues historic fine over lawyer's ChatGPT fabrications

In summary The court of appeals said 21 of 23 quotes in an opening brief were fake. State authorities are scrambling to grapple with widespread use of artificial intelligence. A California attorney must pay a $10,000 fine for filing a state court appeal full of fake quotations generated by the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT. The fine appears to be the largest issued over AI fabrications by a California court and came with a blistering opinion stating that 21 of 23 quotes from cases cited

The First Trailer for ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ Is Here

After what’s felt like (and mostly has been) years of waiting, Lucasfilm has released the first official trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu, the next Star Wars film. Today—timed at the height of a public backlash against Disney for capitulating to the demands of the Trump administration by censoring late-night host Jimmy Kimmel over comments made about the assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk—Disney and Lucasfilm released the first official footage from The Mandalorian and Grogu

I never use a case, but it’s a must on my Pixel 10 Pro

Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority Phone cases do a great job of protecting our devices, but nothing can match the feel of a smartphone when its caseless — metal and class is cool to the touch and satisfying in a way no silicone case could ever be. That’s why I’ve mostly gone caseless since last year when I got my Galaxy S24 Ultra. After a few weeks with the Pixel 10 Pro, though, I’ve had to change my ways and buy a phone case because of the way Google built this phone. Do you use a case on y

The complicated Subnautica 2 lawsuit just took a bizarre twist

Unlike the joy of exploring the underwater world in Subnautica, diving deeper into the Subnautica 2 lawsuit is the furthest thing from rewarding. The latest update in the convoluted lawsuit between Subnautica's developer, Unknown Worlds, and its parent company, Krafton, represents a complete 180 with one of the case's key claims. According to a PC Gamer report, Krafton said that "documents relating to the readiness of the game were irrelevant to the termination" of Unknown Worlds' leadership, wh

Gear News of the Week: Nothing’s Latest Earbuds, Amazon’s Hardware Event, and a New Free VPN

Nothing has a new pair of earbuds for you: the Ear 3. These AirPods-style buds cost $179 and are available now, following the Nothing Phone (3) and Headphone (1) the company released this summer. While they share the stem design aesthetic of Apple's popular earbuds, the blend of aluminum and plastic sure makes them look unique. The key feature in the noise-canceling earbuds is called Super Mic. Except it's not in the earbuds at all—there are two microphones in the charging case. It supposedly c

Want to Watch ‘Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle’? Go to a Theater, Crunchyroll Says

As is tradition, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, the first in a trilogy of anime films marking the conclusion of the megapopular anime, is in theaters and performing well at the box office. However, the question on every anime fan’s lips is when they should expect to see the film pop up on streaming platforms. A Crunchyroll executive’s sentiment on the matter should encourage fans to get their fix in theaters, as it won’t be coming to the orange streamer anytime soon. Speaking with Popverse, Mit

Judge Gives Humiliating Punishment to Lawyers Caught Using AI in Court

AI tools have become a hit with lawyers. But judges have shown they have little patience for when their experiments with the tech go wrong. When combing over a document submitted by two defense lawyers from the firm Cozen O'Connor, district judge David Hardy found at least 14 citations of case law that appeared to be fictitious, Reuters reported. Others were misquoted or misrepresented. After being confronted, the two defense lawyers soon pleaded guilty: one of them had used ChatGPT to draft a

Court lets NSF keep swinging axe at $1B in research grants

A US court has cleared the way for the National Science Foundation to press ahead with the cancellation of more than 1,700 research grants worth upwards of $1 billion. The ruling, handed down this week by Judge Jia Cobb of the DC District Court, rejects a request from researchers, universities and scientific societies to reinstate the cancelled grants while the case is heard. The plaintiffs had argued that NSF's mass terminations were arbitrary, unlawful and would do irreparable harm to the cou

Nothing’s charging case ‘Super Mic’ is a small upgrade to earbud audio

The microphones in your earbuds probably suck. You know it, I know it, and apparently Nothing knows it too. Its fix? Better microphones — but in the charging case, not the buds. The Ear 3 buds feature what the company calls “Super Mic.” What that really means is a pair of microphones built into the earbuds’ case, with a button to activate those mics instead of the ones built into the buds. Nothing’s pitch is that the beamforming microphones in the case can deliver clearer audio and better nois

Your Pixel 10 Might Have Issues With Older Wireless Chargers

When Google introduced the Pixel 10 lineup in August, it became one of the first major Android phones to receive the Qi 2 wireless charging standard, which Google calls Pixelsnap. However, almost immediately after the Pixel 10's release, people noticed issues with its wireless charging. Some people are having trouble charging their phone with the new Pixelsnap charger, and others are having issues with older wireless chargers, including Google's own Pixel Stands.

The New ‘Critical Role’ Trailer Ushers in Campaign 4

Google adds Gemini to Chrome for all users in push to bolster AI search

Google is adding more artificial intelligence into its Chrome browser as the search giant tries to fend off burgeoning competition from AI startups OpenAI and Perplexity.
