The Best TVs We’ve Reviewed from Sony, Samsung, LG, and More

Honorable Mentions There are so many good TVs available, we can't add them all to our top list. Here are some great options that either missed the cut or got knocked off our top list by their replacements. Hisense U8QG: The U8QG (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is a great buy at its lowest price (around $1,000 for a 65-inch model) and a solid pick above that price, especially if you want eye-searing brightness above all else. I noticed some SDR color accuracy issues (some images looked way too red) an

Tinder explores a redesign, dating ‘modes,’ and college-specific features to boost engagement

Tinder is still struggling to generate revenue from its users, as it reported a 7% dip in paying users while its parent company, Match Group, saw a 5% dip in Q2 2025 across all dating apps, including Tinder, Hinge, Match.com, and others. To boost engagement and push more people to pay for its product, the company has undertaken multiple new initiatives. During Match’s second-quarter earnings call, Match Group CEO Spencer Raskoff said that Tinder will debut a new feature called “modes,” which wi

TL;DR Official renders of the Pixel Watch 4 have leaked online, providing a clean and detailed look at the device.

Charter Planes and Bidding Wars: How Bitcoin Miners Raced to Beat Trump’s Tariffs

Twelve minutes after midnight on April 8, a Boeing 777-300ER barreled down a runway at Singapore Changi Airport. In its belly, it carried precious cargo: 3,000 kilograms of specialized bitcoin mining equipment bound urgently for New York. As the plane took to the sky, staff at US-based Luxor Technology could begin to relax. The company, which trades bitcoin mining hardware and provides related software services, was importing the equipment on behalf of a client. The flight’s departure from Sing

The Apple Watch Series 11 rumors I'm most excited about (including a big one for health tracking)

Kerry Wan/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Apple is slated to announce new hardware next month. Notable Apple Watch updates could be coming, according to rumors. Blood pressure monitoring and sleep scores could be on the way. We're a month away from Apple's annual September hardware event, where the tech giant announces its latest releases, from iPhones and iPads to AirPods and, my favorite, Apple Watches. Rumors are swirling about what's to come on the next generation Apple Watch, the Apple Wa

The iOS 26 Beta Just Unveiled New Details About the Apple Watch Ultra 3

Apple may have accidentally tipped its hand with the latest iOS 26 beta: Imagery found within the build display pictures of an Apple Watch Ultra that doesn't match any existing products.

We Should Reject the Switch 2’s Bogus Game-Key Cards or This Will Be the End of Physical Games

On Sunday, Nintendo propped up a survey for players to share a few thoughts about how they prefer to play games on the Switch 2. By Tuesday, Nintendo pulled the survey, but not before the poll went viral and offered gamers a new outlet to let loose about the lack of Switch 2 games you can buy that come entirely on physical game cards. There’s a larger issue at play. The Switch 2 is an inflection point showing how the last few strands of actual game ownership are fraying. Nintendo’s most-dedicate

iOS 26 beta 5 adds ‘Mode Switching’ toggle to revert Camera swipe direction

iOS 26 includes a redesigned Camera app that changes how you switch between shooting modes. As of iOS 26 beta 5, the redesign comes with a new toggle in Settings as well. In addition to changing the visual appearance, Apple has changed the interaction model for how you switch between shooting modes. Previously, the visual metaphor for switching modes was like moving a physical dial with different shooting modes under your finger. If you swiped left, you moved to the dial setting to the right.

The beleaguered company has just had its credit rating downgraded by Fitch, placing Team Blue just two places above the dreaded junk credit status.

Whatever you do, don’t buy a Google Pixel Watch right now

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority I’ve spent nearly a year touting the Pixel Watch 3 as the best smartwatch for Wear OS shoppers, so if you’re thinking about picking one up, trust me when I say, I get it. Google’s smartwatches have made major strides in just a few short years, and with the third generation, the company delivered a more refined, more capable, and more comfortable wearable than either of its predecessors. For most people, it’s the best Wear OS watch available. It packs a powerfu

Fitbit promised better sleep tracking with new update, but users say it got worse

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR Fitbit has updated its algorithm for more accurate sleep tracking. The new algorithm now accounts for awake times better, supposedly rendering more accurate data about different phases. However, users have complained of increased sensitivity, resulting in their devices capturing shorter sleep durations than the actual time. Fitbit isn’t nearly as popular as it once was, and that is partly because Google, which completed its acquisition of the company

Switch 2 Overheating? Nintendo Just Posted a Warning You Shouldn't Ignore

The new console has had a few hardware issues pop up, but Nintendo did confirm that it does have a bit of a heating problem. In a July 31 post on its X support account, Nintendo advised users to avoid playing the original Switch and the Switch 2 in high temperatures. The company says operating the consoles in a hot environment will raise the temperature

I tested 13 Switch 2 cases and these are the best

You might find it kind of sad to put a hard-earned gadget into a protective case. To me, it’s freeing. Using a case relieves me of the worry that it will accumulate tons of little scratches. So, I wasted no time testing cases on the new Nintendo Switch 2, and it didn’t take long for me to find one that I think is the best. I tried several types of cases on the Switch 2. I tested flimsy shells that snap or slide onto the Switch 2 to provide a simple, aesthetically pleasing barrier from scratches

Idaho has become the wild frontier of vaccination policy and public health

Some 280,000 people live in the five northernmost counties of Idaho. One of the key public officials responsible for their health is Thomas Fletcher, a retired radiologist who lives on a 160-acre farm near Sandpoint. Fletcher grew up in Texas and moved to Idaho in 2016, looking for a place where he could live a rural life alongside likeminded conservatives. In 2022, he joined the seven-member board of health of the Panhandle Health District, the regional public health authority, and he was appo

10 Features That Would Make Me Buy the Apple Watch Series 11

With WatchOS 26 now in public beta, we're getting a telling preview of what's coming to Apple Watches this fall. But for those of us eyeing the next model (likely the Apple Watch Series 11, and possibly an Ultra or SE), the real question is: How will Apple one-up itself from last year's Series 10? Better yet, how will it compete with newer flagships vying for your wrist this year? Some of these requests are grounded in rumors, while others are mere wishful thinking. Here's everything I hope App

The Nintendo Switch 2’s Biggest Problem Is Already Storage

The Nintendo Switch 2 is fantastic—already a contender for the biggest gaming hardware launch of 2025. I'm still playing it daily—monkeying around in Donkey Kong Bananza, enjoying tearing up its destructible game worlds, whether I'm playing on the big screen or tucked up in bed with handheld mode. Unfortunately, just two months on from release, my console’s drive is already full. Since my copy of Bananza is digital, I've had to start juggling game installs to experience the great ape’s latest a

Lina Khan points to Figma IPO as vindication of M&A scrutiny

A surprising figure is celebrating Figma’s successful IPO: Lina Khan, former chair of the Federal Trade Commission. In a Friday afternoon post on X, Khan linked to an article about Figma’s impressive first day of trading and argued the IPO is “a great reminder that letting startups grow into independently successful businesses, rather than be bought up by existing giants, can generate enormous value.” Khan was alluding to a $20 billion deal for Adobe to acquire Figma that fell through back in
