Sennheiser Accentum Plus: If you can't afford Sennheiser's flagship Momentum 4 Wireless headphones or other premium models from Bose, Sony and Apple, the Sennheiser Accentum Plus is a good midrange alternative that doesn't quite offer the same performance as those higher-end models. However, it does offers better build quality and sound than most budget noise canceling headphones. In essence, these are a slightly stripped down version of the Momentum 4 Wireless and share a similar aesthetic and

Qualcomm could shake things up with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and 8 Elite 2

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-08 07:05:22

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Qualcomm might offer a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and a Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 in the coming months. This suggests another naming convention shakeup of sorts for the brand’s top-tier smartphone processors. Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset late last year, which delivered a major leap forward for Android phones. This also marked a change in naming convention compared to the previous Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. However, it seems like both naming co

US moves to ban shady subscription auto-renewals after FTC court loss

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-10 03:21:33

Canceling a subscription should be easy, Democratic lawmakers insisted Wednesday, introducing a bill to revive the Federal Trade Commission's so-called "Click-to-Cancel" rule. The FTC hoped to enforce the rule due to "increasing reports of consumers losing time and money from intentionally difficult subscription cancellation processes," lawmakers said. But cable companies sued to block the FTC rule last year, arguing that the FTC failed to conduct an economic impact study before making it easie

Psychedelic Therapy Crashed and Burned. MAHA Might Bring It Back

This was supposed to be the year of the MDMA revolution. About this time last year, prescription MDMA looked like a sure thing. After decades of clinical research, political wrangling, and aggressive promotion, the popular underground club drug was set to be tamed and medicalized, with a stamp of approval from the US Food and Drug Administration. Then, it wasn’t. In a stark change of course, the FDA rejected the MDMA therapy it had been considering by a 10-1 vote. The decision derailed psyched

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR A new report has confirmed that Samsung will continue to rely on Qualcomm for its next Ultra smartphone. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is confirmed to be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, based on evidence found in the device’s firmware. This does not rule out the existence of an S26 Ultra powered by an Exynos 2600 or a Samsung-made Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, despite lean chances of any of that happening.

Structural-Demographic Theory

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-15 21:04:03

The causes of revolutions and major rebellions are in many ways similar to processes that cause earthquakes (Goldstone 1991: 35). In both revolutions and earthquakes it is useful to distinguish the structural conditions (pressures, which build up slowly) from triggers (sudden releasing events, which immediately precede a social or geological eruption). Specific triggers of political upheavals, such as self-immolation of a fruit vendor, which triggered the Arabic Spring in Tunisia, are very hard

A ‘Grand Unified Theory’ of Math Just Got a Little Bit Closer

This wasn’t even a new suggestion—Greek astronomers like Aristarchus had floated the heliocentric model centuries earlier. But in Galileo’s time, the idea ran into an insurmountable obstacle.
