My phone is an ereader now

My phone is an ereader now I got a Kobo in 2016 after borrowing my mom's old one for a year before that. It probably is responsible for getting me reading again after high school. I used to be an avid reader, the sort of kid who would have to be told to put down the book and go to sleep, and who would then creep slowly to the bookshelf to pick it up again without arousing suspicion after the light had been turned out. I think I slowed my reading for fun as the work load of school increased, and

FBI cyber cop: Salt Typhoon pwned 'nearly every American'

news.ycombinator.com Jessica Lyons 2025-10-24 22:43:44

China's Salt Typhoon cyberspies hoovered up information belonging to millions of people in the United States over the course of the years-long intrusion into telecommunications networks, according to a top FBI cyber official. "There's a good chance this espionage campaign has stolen information from nearly every American," Michael Machtinger, deputy assistant director for the FBI's cyber division, told The Register.

iPhone 17 rumors, prices, new features and everything else you need to know before the September 9 Apple event

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-25 03:45:36

Apple confirmed last Tuesday that its iPhone 17 event will be on Tuesday, September 9 at 1PM ET. We're getting excited because that means we'll finally get to put our eyes on the iPhone 17 lineup. The new smartphones will come equipped with the latest iOS 26 features preinstalled — and any new features Apple reveals that day. But since we still have to wait a couple of weeks until the iPhone event, we can only speculate what the new devices will look like. As with most unreleased iPhones, rumors

This New iOS 26 Battery Feature Could Extend Your iPhone's Daily Power

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-25 01:03:03

I don't know anyone who's satisfied with their phone's battery life. We always want more power so we don't wind up with a tapped-out phone at the end of the day or the need to carry a portable charger everywhere. So I'm very curious to see how Adaptive Power affects iPhone battery life when iOS 26 is released, likely soon after the iPhone 17 is announced at Apple's Sept. 9 fall event. Currently, the iPhone uses as much power as it needs to perform its tasks. You can extend the battery life by d

My Favorite Pixel 10 Feature Makes MagSafe Accessories Last Longer Than Ever

I admit: I'm a fan of magnetic phone accessories that add new features and style to my phone. One of my first Android phones was 2017's Moto Z2 Play. It was from a series of Moto Z phones that touted magnetic accessories called Moto Mods, which included decorative shells, battery packs and -- my favorite -- a JBL speaker attachment that helped boost the audio for music. Moto Mods didn't continue past 2019's Moto Z4. Now here's the good news: The magnetic accessories developed for Apple's iPhon
