Nvidia's top two mystery customers made up 39% of the chipmaker's Q2 revenue

Co-founder and CEO of Nvidia Jensen Huang spoke to journalists during a trip to Beijing in July. Two Nvidia customers made up 39% of Nvidia's revenue in its July quarter, the company revealed in a financial filing on Wednesday, raising concerns about the concentration of the chipmaker's clientele. "Customer A" made up 23% of total revenue, and "Customer B" comprised 16% of total revenue, according to the company's second-quarter filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. That's highe

Google’s Pixel Care Plus includes free screen and battery repair

Google is phasing out its Preferred Care extended warranty plan for the Pixel Care Plus program. Pricing between the two is pretty similar. You’ll still pay $8 per-month, or $159 for a two-year plan on a Pixel 9. For a Pixel 10 Pro Fold, that jumps up to $339 for two years, or $18 per-month, with the optional loss and theft package for a small extra charge. The big changes here are that screen and battery repairs are free, and service fees for other accidental damage are much lower. Under the o

iPhone 17 vs. iPhone 17 Air, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max: New Rumored Specs Compared

While we typically wait until phones are actually released to compare them, Apple's next iPhone models are so highly anticipated that we'll make an exception. We're basing our comparisons on the most credible rumors of what's coming in the iPhone 17 series, including a potential super-thin iPhone 17 Air, to give readers an early sense of how the new series of phones may look. Last year's iPhone 16 series added a handful of upgrades over its predecessors, most notably the new Camera Control key.

Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. iPhone 16 Pro Max: Has Google closed the gap? [Video]

From jibes to full-blown homage, the Pixel 10 Pro XL owes a lot to the iPhone and, by extension, the 16 Pro Max. Just how does Apple’s best device of last year stack up against Google’s best of this year? Here’s all you need to know. Before we start comparing Apples to Googles, we must acknowledge that things can’t be like-for-like. If you’re an Android person—like us—you probably don’t care about iOS things. If you’re an iOS person, you probably don’t care about Android. That’s absolutely fine

You’re wrong about the Pixel 10 Pro

When Google finally revealed the Pixel 10 series last week, I was there. I got to attend a secret preview of the phones a week before the launch, and I was in the live audience for the cringeworthy Jimmy Fallon event that showed the phones to the public for the first time. It was an incredibly exciting time for me, because I’m a huge fan of what Google is trying to do with its Pixel line. But you know who wasn’t so excited about it? A lot of you. Almost immediately after the reveal, the intern

Apple's iPhone 17 'Awe dropping' event is on September 9 — Here's what we expect

We're now less than two weeks away from the Apple iPhone 17 event. Themed "Awe dropping" this year, the event — confirmed after Apple sent "save the date" invitations to the media on August 26 — will be livestreamed on YouTube September 9 at 1PM ET from Cupertino. And Engadget staff will be there, reporting and liveblogging from Apple Park to give their hands-on impressions. This year is shaking up to be a departure from recent September product rollouts, with the strong possibility of an all-ne

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

Standalone AI Devices Are Back, Baby. The Note-Taking Plaud Note 3 Proves It

There was a moment around 18 months ago when it felt like AI had unlocked an entirely new consumer technology category. The wearable Humane Pin and handheld Rabbit R1 were small, standalone devices that promised to be your AI personal assistants and threatened to be smartphone killers. But almost as soon as the hype around them peaked, it died down again. The devices that hit the market during that initial wave of excitement overpromised and underdelivered, and today we remain just as reliant o

The Pixel 10 fixes my biggest hardware pet peeve, but many of you won’t see it

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Much ink has been spilled around the Pixel 10’s SIM situation. In the US, the three main phones — Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL — ship without a physical SIM slot. You can use two eSIMs at the same time, and some of us think that’s fine. While I do love my eSIMs, I’m not ready to adopt them full time just yet, so you can’t imagine my relief when we learned that the rest of the world gets to keep the slot. My biggest relief, though, came when I discovered wh

Like Intel before it, AMD blames motherboard makers for burnt-out CPUs

AMD's X3D-series Ryzen chips have become popular with PC gamers because games in particular happen to benefit disproportionately from the chips' extra 64MB of L3 cache memory. But that extra memory occasionally comes with extra headaches. Not long after they were released earlier this year, some early adopters started having problems with their CPUs, ranging from failure to boot to actual physical scorching and burnout—the problems were particularly common for users of the 9800X3D processor in A

Pixel 10 Pro XL vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra: Android Camera Battle

Smartphone cameras carry a lot of responsibility. They need to automatically make great images in any situation at a moment's notice. They're limited by the physics of small lenses, small sensors and less-than-ideal ergonomics. The photos they create need to be ready to share immediately, with no expectation that the images will be edited and refined later. Many phones hit a few of those targets, but a small number strive to be the best smartphone cameras you can pocket. The Samsung Galaxy S25

Open Source is one person

The Register recently published a story titled Putin on the code: DoD reportedly relies on utility written by Russian dev. They should be ashamed of this story. This poor open source developer is getting beat up now to score some internet points. It’s very upsetting. But anyway, let’s look at some receipts. If you’re not real smrt, it seems like pointing out an open source project is written by one person in a country you don’t like is a bad thing. It could be. But it also could be the softwar

What Is Synthetic Gasoline?

What is Synthetic Gasoline? Synthetic gasoline, also known as synthetic fuel or e-fuel, is a liquid fuel produced through chemical processes, rather than extracted from crude oil. It’s essentially a manufactured replica of gasoline, designed to power internal combustion engines while potentially offering a more sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.

Japanese town proposes two-hour daily limit on smartphones There will be no penalties for breaking the rule, which will be passed in October if approved by lawmakers.
