MagSafe wallets typically aim to be super thin. The SUPCASE MagFlip takes the opposite approach and loads itself up with features. It’s all about function first, so it ends up quite a bit thicker than the typical MagSafe wallet, but it’s extremely useful.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE leak suggests last year’s chip is making a return

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A listing for the Galaxy S25 FE recently appeared on a British retailer’s website. The listing included technical specifications and official images. It appears the Galaxy S25 FE will have an Exynos 2400e chip. It won’t be much longer before Samsung releases the Galaxy S25 FE.

How old is the earliest trace of life on Earth?

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-03 10:00:03

The question of when life began on Earth is as old as human culture. “It's one of these fundamental human questions: When did life appear on Earth?” said Professor Martin Whitehouse of the Swedish Museum of Natural History. So when some apparently biological carbon was dated to at least 3.95 billion years ago—making it the oldest remains of life on Earth—the claim sparked interest and skepticism in equal measure, as Ars Technica reported in 2017. Whitehouse was among those skeptics. This July

If you’re shopping for a portable Bluetooth speaker, it’s a given that you want good sound. With a budget of $75-$150, there is no shortage of great options, including WIRED favorites like the JBL Flip 7, Beats Pill, and Tribit StormBox 2. If your travel ambitions have already soaked up most of your cash, you have fewer choices.

CarPlay connection issues? This might explain why

If your Apple CarPlay connection randomly drops out while driving, the cause might not be your iPhone, cable, or car. Radio interference, of all things, could be the cause of your troubles. An Axios report from this year details a peculiar phenomenon in Boston, where drivers lose their CarPlay or Android Auto connection at the exact same spots. Similar “dead zones” are likely in other cities, though they may go unreported. CarPlay units don’t handle GPS navigation on their own. Instead, they

"You don’t eat blue meat." A wild game trapper just south of San Francisco was in for a colorful surprise when he began processing some feral hogs he had caught earlier this year. According to local news outlet SFGate, a number of the hogs — technically crossbreeds between domestic pigs and wild boars — appear to have had their muscles and fatty tissue stained blue after munching on a rat poison known as diphacinone.

Adding useful Google Assistant features and faster Qi charging made it a must-have accessory for Pixels, and I used it every day.
