Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Pixel 10 Pro faces tough competition at the $1,000 price tier.

Why one of the best robot vacuums for pets is from a brand you've never heard of

Eureka J15 Pro Ultra ZDNET's key takeaways The Eureka J15 Pro Ultra is available for $1,000. With 16,200Pa of suction power, this robot vacuum and mop is fully automatic and smart enough to detect debris and wet messes on your floor.

iPhone 17 Air Rumors: What to Expect From Apple's Thin Phone

Key takeaways The iPhone 17 Air will reportedly replace the iPhone Plus model. It could measure 5.5mm thick and have a 6.6-inch display. iOS 26's Adaptive Power feature could help mitigate battery compromises with a skinnier iPhone. This slim iPhone 17 could cost $900, but the price may be affected by tariffs. It could come in four color options, including a buzzed-about sky blue hue. As September approaches, so too does the anticipated reveal of the next iPhone, which could include the thin

My top 6 productivity apps for Linux that are lesser known - but shouldn't be

Forget the Pixel 10 camera’s silly pinch-to-zoom, this is the one trick I use instead

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority As much as I’ve loved using the zoom lenses on my Pixel phones since the Pixel 6 Pro, I’ll admit that it’s a pain to find the exact zoom level I need with Google’s silly camera UI. Pinching to zoom is not as precise as I like it to be, and I like round numbers, so you’ll never see me zoom to something like 6.4x or 12.9x. I’d rather move my hand or step forward/back to get a round number. The other reason is that Google allows for lossless zoom at specific leve

The OnePlus 15 could put the Pixel 10 Pro to shame for base storage

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The OnePlus 15 will apparently start at 12GB/256GB storage, all the way to 16GB/1TB. This means the phone will have more base storage than the Pixel 10 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro. The phone is also tipped to arrive in Purple and Titanium colors, in addition to the previously leaked Black option. The OnePlus 13 is one of our favorite Android phones of the year so far, but we’ve already seen plenty of leaks about a successor. Now, the latest leak has revealed ap

The Morning After: The verdict on Google's Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10

We’ve reviewed half of the Pixel 10 series, and Google continues to improve its phones in very tangible ways. We scored the Pixel 10 Pro 94, which is a high score, but well deserved. With brighter screens, a faster Tensor G5 chip and a bigger battery, a lot of the improvements are software based. Magic Cue uses on-device AI to surface relevant information from apps, reducing app-hopping.

I replaced my deadbolt with this Apple HomeKey smart lock - and it's an iPhone user's dream

Simple prompt or agent workflow? How not to overthink AI

Photobank2/iStock/Getty Images Plus Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Gen AI success is about knowing which approach to use. Start with the simplest tool that solves your problem. Sometimes you'll need a prompt, and other times an agent workflow. "You're probably making AI harder than it needs to be."

61% of US Adults Have Never Tried a Meal Kit. There Are Two Big Reasons

Meal kits have evolved dramatically in the 13 years since Blue Apron launched in the US. Today, nine major meal kit services operate across the country, and their convenient dinner packages have become comparatively cheaper and better suited to people with dietary restrictions. Increased competition has brought variety and consumer-friendly makeovers to meal delivery services, but much of the population is still skeptical. In a recent CNET survey of more than 2,600 US adults, most of those who

Lenovo leaks show concept laptop with rotating display

Lenovo is gearing up to show off its latest products at Europe’s IFA tech tradeshow next week, but leaks may have just given us a first look at what’s being announced. The most notable gadget shared by reputable leaker Evan Blass shows an image of a concept laptop design with a display that rotates between landscape and portrait orientations, which Lenovo has reportedly dubbed “Project Pivo.” Lenovo has a history of making funky laptop concepts — such as the see-through ThinkBook Transparent Di

Rupert's Property

You can cut a hole in a cube that’s big enough to slide an identical cube through that hole! Think about that for a minute—it’s kind of weird. Amazingly, nobody could prove any convex polyhedron doesn’t have this property! It’s called ‘Rupert’s property’. Until this week. This week Steininger and Yurkevich proved there is a convex polyhedron that you can’t cut a hole in big enough to slide the entire polyhedron through the hole. It has 90 vertices, and apparently 240 edges and 152 faces. To

Here’s where to get the factory images for your new Pixel 10

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The factory images for the Pixel 10 series have been posted online. The factory images for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold are not up yet. It’s August 28, which means today is the day that Pixel 10 shipments go out. After all the leaks, it’s nice to finally see the device starting to land in the hands of owners. Along with the release of the new flagship phone, Google also picked today to post the Pixel 10 family’s factory images. Don’t want to miss the best fr

In just a few days, the Apple iPhone 17 event will be here — the "awe dropping" event is officially confirmed for Tuesday, September 9. If Apple follows its past schedule, that could mean we'll get to download iOS 26 and iPad 26 exactly one week after the event. Coming with the OS 26es are huge upgrades to your iPhone and iPad's operating systems. You've heard of Liquid Glass, right?

Sometimes CPU cores are odd

One of the biggest lessons that I've learned in my career is that all software has bugs, and the more complicated your software gets the more complicated your bugs get. A lot of the time those bugs will be fairly obvious and easy to spot, validate, and replicate. Sometimes, the process of fixing it will uncover your core assumptions about how things work in ways that will leave you feeling like you just got trolled.

This iMac G3 LEGO idea is as unlikely to get approved as it is awesome

Every once in a while, an Apple-related project gets submitted to LEGO’s Product Ideas page. Just recently, the LEGO Apple Store concept quickly blew past the 10,000-vote threshold needed to enter official review. Now, a new submission is making the rounds, and it is pretty cool. ‘I wanted people to pick up this nostalgic computer again’ Developed by fan designer terauma, this 700-part project features the classic Bondi Blue iMac G3 along with the “hockey puck” mouse and keyboard, properly wir

The sisters “paradox” – counter-intuitive probability

It seems simple, but it isn't There are a couple of famous counter-intuitive problems in probability theory and the sisters "paradox" is one of them. I'll tell you the problem, let you guess the solution, and then give you some of the background. Here's the problem: a family has two children. You're told that at least one of them is a girl. What's the probability both are girls? (International Film Service / American Releasing Co., Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons) Assume that the pr

Uncertain<T>

You know what’s wrong with people? They’re too sure of themselves. Better to be wrong and own it than be right with caveats. Hard to build a personal brand out of nuance these days. People are attracted to confidence — however misplaced. But can you blame them? (People, that is) Working in software, the most annoying part of reaching Senior level is having to say “it depends” all the time. Much more fun getting to say “let’s ship it and iterate” as Staff or “that won’t scale” as a Principal.
