9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-10-02 14:42:06

We last month learned that Epic Games had won its antitrust case against Apple in Australia, with the court ruling that the iPhone maker must permit side-loading and third-party payments. The full reasoning for that decision has now been published – all 900 pages of it – and Apple has accused the judge of underestimating the privacy and security risks to users … The case hinged on the usual question: What defines the dominance of the App Store?

Apple's new iPhone charger dynamically switches between 40 and 60W

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-02 14:30:53

If you want a powerful phone charger in the smallest size possible, Apple has the answer — but there is a tradeoff. The company's new 40W Dynamic Power Adapter is the first charger to support the USB PD 3.2 AVS (adjustable voltage supply) protocol so it can hit up to 60W, but only for a limited time. It was designed to work the company's new iPhone 17 models with faster charging speeds than previous iPhones. Lugging heavy chargers is a particularly bugbear of mine so the Dynamic Power Adapter s

How big a solar battery do I need to store *all* my home's electricity?

news.ycombinator.com Terence Eden 2025-10-02 14:33:28

I have a modest set of solar panels on an entirely ordinary house in suburban London. On average they generate about 3,800kWh per year. We also use about 3,800kWh of electricity each year. Obviously, we can't use all the power produced over summer and we need to buy power in winter. So here's my question: How big a battery would we need in order to be completely self-sufficient? Let's take a look at a typical summer's day. The graph is a little complex, so I'll explain it. The yellow line sh

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority Remember a time when we used to call devices with 7-inch screens tablets? Does your memory go back to the era of phablets — phones with a “large” 5.5-inch display? Screen sizes have gone up so much that almost 7 inches is now considered a standard phone size, while we call 6 inches mini.

The mod comes courtesy of YouTuber Naga, who pried open a Switch 2 and installed a larger 8,000 mAh battery in place of the factory-fitted 5,220
