Valerion launches new premium projector with anti-rainbow effect technology

After a successful Kickstarter campaign, Valerion is formally announcing its new premium projector, the VisionMaster Max, at IFA 2025. The boxy little projector offers improved contrast and brightness, but the feature that should be most interesting to home theater aficionados is how it tries to address the "rainbow effect" common in some cheaper projectors. Cheaper DLP projectors sometimes display stuttery strobes of color when the projector's color wheel is forced to quickly shift between col

PSA: Google’s new Pixel Flex Dual Port 67W charger isn’t the same everywhere

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s new Pixel Flex Dual Port 67W charger may be missing one feature depending on where you buy it. Users on Reddit point out that the charger’s prongs don’t fold as advertised on Google’s website and Amazon. The lack of foldable prongs may be limited to specific regions, though. Google’s new Pixel Flex Dual Port 67W charger is surely one of the best accessories you can buy for your Pixel 10 phone. The $59.99 USB-C fast charger uses proprietary tec

The first Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 phones could have ridiculously big batteries

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A new Xiaomi 16 series leak suggests major battery upgrades across the board. This varies from 7,000mAh for the compact Xiaomi 16 all the way to 7,500mAh for the purported Xiaomi 16 Pro Max. These will be the first phones with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (or Gen 2) processors. Xiaomi will be the first Android brand to offer phones with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (or Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2) processor. However, it looks like all three of these upcoming

SQL Needed Structure

Published 2025-09-04 Here are two pages from the internet movie database: There are two things to note about these pages. The data on the page is presented in a hierarchichal structure. The movie page contains a director, a list of genres, a list of actors, and each actor in the list contains a list of characters they played in the movie. You can't sensibly fit all of this into a single flat structure like a relation. The order of the hierarchy isn't the same on both pages. On one page we hav

At White House dinner, Tim Cook praises Trump’s ‘leadership and focus on innovation’

Yesterday, news broke that Apple CEO Tim Cook was one of many tech CEOs who had been invited for a “White House event on AI hosted by first lady Melania Trump.” Now, The Wall Street Journal has a few details of how the event went.

Better get used to your smart lights having built-in microphones

We’re all used to having our lights respond to verbal commands at this point. But normally, there’s a middleman passing our commands along, whether that’s our phone or a smart speaker that is actually listening to what we say. Lepro is eliminating the need for a separate controller by building a microphone directly into the power cord on its new AI Lighting Pro series. The lineup includes a light strip (S1-Pro AI), a rope light (N1-Pro AI), a rail-thin floor lamp (OE1-Pro AI), and a wild-lookin

Lenovo updates its beefiest and bulkiest laptops

Lenovo has decided that IFA is the ideal time to show off its most powerful (and most chunky) hardware. And easily at the top of that heap is the Thinkpad P16 Gen 3. With a starting price of $3,339, it’s the most expensive and the most powerful of the lot. It packs the latest Core Ultra 200HX processors and has options for Nvidia’s RTX Pro GPUs, up to 192GB of DDR5 RAM, and up to 12TB of PCIe Gen5 NVMe storage; there is also an option for a 16-inch 3.2K OLED touchscreen.

This Pixel 9 Pro Is So Clean, It Feels Like the iPhone of Androids

CNET's key takeaways After months of using Google's Pixel 9 Pro, I like its solid overall performance and quirky new AI skills. The element that stands out most is how easy it is to use. While Android users swear by them, a lot of other people consider Android phones to feel overly complex. The user interface isn't quite as easy to adjust as Apple's offering. And while it may sound unreasonable, Samsung's Galaxy S25 range, for example, has deep menu settings that let you tweak nearly every as

How we built an interpreter for Swift

Bitrig dynamically generates and runs Swift apps on your phone. Normally this would require compiling and signing with Xcode, and you can’t do that on an iPhone. To make it possible to instantly run your app, we built a Swift interpreter. But it’s an unusual interpreter, since it interprets from Swift… to Swift. One of the top questions we’ve gotten is how it’s implemented, so we wanted to share how it works. To make this more accessible and interesting, we simplified some of the more esoteric

Action was the best 8-bit programming language

There were many programming languages available for 8-bit computers, the most common being BASIC and Assembly Language, but there were also other lesser-used languages such as Logo, Forth, and Pilot. The languages that would go on to dominate 16-bit computing, C and Pascal, were also available but were usually severely limited. An 8-bit computer generally did not have enough horsepower to run those more complex language compilers. By 1983 Optimized Systems Software (OSS) was renown in the Atari

This Electric Shaver Is Made From Aircraft-Grade Aluminium, Because Why Not?

Nothing says “premium” like aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, am I right? I guess. I don’t know, it sounds fancy and it looks fancy, too, which makes Laifen’s new electric shaver, the T1 Pro, the swankiest electric shaver I’ve seen all day. The T1 Pro, which was announced at IFA 2025, is apparently crafted with “a single block of aerospace-grade aluminum alloy,” which makes this over-engineered shaver both light and very durable, according to Laifen.

Honda combines Type-R handling with hybrid efficiency for 2026 Prelude

At the end of last year, we learned that Honda was bringing back the Prelude. Although Honda has varied the ingredients over the years, the recipe for the Prelude remains the same: a sleek coupe body and some cutting-edge technology under the skin, like four-wheel steering, as rhapsodized by the verbose but usually insightful motoring writer LJK Setright. Today, the new car broke cover ahead of its arrival in showrooms later this fall. It's a handsome shape, though I can't quite get over the re

Why it’s so hard to make a ‘safer’ football helmet

When players take the field at the start of the NFL season, many will be sporting the new, subtly different F7 Pro helmet, which some have speculated might be the safest one football has ever seen. That’s significant for a sport that, over the past two decades, has become as well known for concussions as end zone celebrations. Schutt Sports, which makes the F7 Pro, claims that 35 percent of active NFL athletes have already adopted the helmet. Football is a sport with a traditionalist bent, part
