Taste testing battery-flavored tortilla chips

theverge.com Dominic Preston 2025-12-31 10:49:21

I get a lot of odd pitches in my inbox, but “9V battery-flavored corn chips” still stopped me in my tracks. My mind was ringing with questions (What? Who? Why!?!), but most importantly: What are they going to taste like? This limited edition flavor comes from Rewind, a new brand launching in Europe, starting with the Netherlands, promising to blend “nostalgia with exciting flavors.” Most of these sound pretty normal — cheese and onion, sriracha, paprika — but their nod to the “weird universal m

Apple is expanding its age rating system for apps.

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-01 04:26:07

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16’s early release schedule has shaken up platform update plans across OEMs. For Samsung, a new leak clarifies that the company will launch major One UI version bumps alongside the Android platform bump, coinciding them with the launch of the Galaxy Z series flagships. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S series flagships will no longer debut with the new Android version. Instead, it would be the first to feature One UI x.5 versions, which ironically will inclu

Android’s new ‘Expanded’ dark mode darkens apps without a dark theme — but there’s a catch

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-01 20:11:48

Megan Ellis / Android Authority TL;DR For accessibility, Android will soon let you enable a dark theme in apps that don’t have one. A new “Expanded” dark mode option forces apps to go dark, but it may cause visual issues. This feature is live in the second Android Canary build, but its stable release date is unknown. If you tell people that you use light mode on your phone, some people will look at you like you’re crazy. That’s because many people prefer dark mode UIs because they’re general

A newly published study in Nature Partner Journals’ Aging demonstrates that psilocin, a byproduct of consuming psilocybin, the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms, extended the cellular lifespan of human skin and lung cells by more than 50%.
