Exclusive: Google Pixel Watch 4 Teardown Shows Easy Repairability

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2025-11-12 23:00:00

Google’s first Pixel Watch was fashionably late to the wrist computing party, arriving in 2022 when the market was already quite mature. And while the smartwatch has since cemented its place among top-tier wearables, it has one red flag: It isn’t repairable. For the past three generations, Google has been replacing broken Pixel Watches instead of repairing them. “Watches and wearables are still fairly nascent," a spokesperson explained at a 2024 Climate Week panel when asked why the watch wasn'

Sword of the Sea is a spirited celebration of movement and the sea

theverge.com Khee Hoon Chan 2025-11-13 04:30:00

There’s a persistent belief that in order for sharks to breathe underwater, they must keep on swimming. While this is partly true for a few species, the myth likely stems from how certain types of fishes (bony fish, if you want to know) need to breathe through constant motion, inhaling and pushing a huge amount of water through their gills as they swim. As the misconception goes, for sharks, much like their aquatic peers, to cease movement is to spell certain death — which is exactly how it feel

Why email security needs its EDR moment to move beyond prevention

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-11-13 09:01:11

Security leaders today are rethinking email security, not because traditional methods have failed outright, but because the threat landscape and business needs have evolved beyond what legacy approaches can handle. A surprising but apt analogy keeps surfacing: email security is stuck where antivirus (AV) was a decade ago, and it’s time it evolved like AV did, into an element of EDR. The comparison might not be obvious at first. After all, email and endpoints seem like apples and oranges. But
