Along with the digital release of the Tron: Ares soundtrack, Nine Inch Nails is playing up the nostalgic music tech sensibilities of the franchise with its score on physical media. Collectors will be able to snag not only multiple vinyl variants of the music from the upcoming Walt Disney Pictures release but also a special edition cassette tape, which, for us ’90s NIN fans, is how we first listened to the industrial rock act.

LG S95AR Review: A Hassle-Free Dolby Atmos Soundbar

wired.com Ryan Waniata 2025-11-05 12:03:00

There aren’t many all-in-one soundbar solutions that give you as much sonic immersion for your money as LG’s S95. Many modern soundbar brands prefer to sell high-priced single bars, with add-on speakers available for an additional fee. LG provides a subwoofer, dual surrounds, and LG’s unique mix of five (not four) height channels to put you in the center of the action for 3D sound formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X from the get-go. The latest-model S95AR offers a modest upgrade over last year’s

Former Meta exec Nick Clegg offers careful criticism of ‘cloyingly conformist’ Silicon Valley

techcrunch.com Anthony Ha 2025-11-05 17:32:56

In Brief Meta’s former policy chief Nick Clegg seems to be walking a tightrope as he promotes his upcoming book, “How to Save the Internet.” Unlike certain other Meta employee memoirs, “How to Save the Internet” doesn’t sound like a tell-all or a scathing critique. And in an interview with the Guardian, Clegg (who previously led the U.K.’s Liberal Democrats) seems to distance himself from Silicon Valley without quite disavowing his former employer. “I really do believe that, despite its imper

Technics EAH-AZ100 Review: Wireless Earbuds That Sound So Next Level I’m Ruined

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-11-05 15:00:17

2025 Hi-fi audio is a funny thing. Someone could say the words “high fidelity” until you’re both blue in the face, but it’s hard to understand unless you hear it for yourself. I mean, how high is high, anyway? Great audio is as high as your frame of reference is, and if you’re like most people and you’re used to sticking AirPods in your ears and calling it a day, then that’s your baseline.

Comforting a crying baby can be difficult, especially if you aren't getting enough sleep. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, playing calming sounds via a white noise machine can help soothe your baby and get them to settle down -- and give you a moment of respite. But instead of buying a white noise machine, you could save money and use your iPhone instead.

White Noise Makes Beer Brew Faster, Scientists Claim

Music can make people do things faster, with running, dancing, and doing chores being good examples. It seems, however, that we’re not alone in picking up the pace at the sound of a good tune. Researchers have discovered that playing a sound commonly known as white noise can shorten fermentation—arguably the most important step in brewing beer—by 21 to 31 hours, without markedly changing the flavor. This could help breweries increase beer production without diminishing quality. How sound chang
