AirPods Pro 3 Review: Skating to Where the Puck Is Going, Not Where It Has Been

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2025-09-24 21:00:03

2025 Almost three years after Apple introduced the original AirPods Pro 2 (updated with USB-C in 2023) with category-defining sound quality and active noise cancellation (ANC), I can safely say that just about every company making ANC wireless earbuds has caught up or surpassed them, and often with buds that are sold for less than $250. Basic wireless earbuds features—good audio, good ANC, and good battery life—are table stakes, and each of these is improved on AirPods Pro 3. Apple’s third-gen

Battling for the lead at an IRL version of Mario Kart

When it comes to mainstream gaming appeal, it’s hard to beat Mario Kart. Break out some controllers at a party and you’ll likely get a grid full of eager racers. The game’s seamless way of balancing disparate levels of skill and aggression creates an addictive experience for just about everyone. Real-world karting, on the other hand, remains more of a niche affair. Sure, plenty of people race karts at theme parks and putt-putt parking lots, but this style of racing isn’t on the radar for your a

Scientists Working on "Smart Dust" That Can Spy on a Room While Drifting Throught the Air

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-25 07:00:57

In his 1963 scifi story "The Invincible," the Polish writer Stanisław Lem imagined an artificial species of free-floating nanobots which roamed the atmosphere of a far-off planet. Like tiny bugs, the microscopic beings were powerless alone, but together they could form cooperative swarms to gather energy, reproduce, and ultimately defend their territory from predators with deadly force.

If there's one thing I learned from Berlin's 2025 IFA consumer tech show, it's that AI has taken over marketing, too. Even with my smart home focus, it was difficult to find a new product or announcement that didn't have "AI" somewhere in its promotion.

Scientists Say They Can't Explain the Signal They Just Detected From Beyond Our Galaxy

Gamma ray bursts are some of the most powerful explosions in the universe, unleashing as much energy in mere seconds as the Sun will in its entire 10 billion year lifespan. Typically, they're produced by stars dying in a spectacular supernova — a rapid collapse that completely obliterates the stellar object. But now, astronomers say they've detected a gamma ray burst that utterly defies explanation: it repeated multiple times over the course of a single day, as if the star somehow suffered back

Scientists Find Evidence of Flowing Water on Giant Asteroid

Today, the near-Earth asteroid known as Ryugu is bone dry. But new research suggests that the half-mile space rock may have once been flowing with liquid water — and crucially, at a period in the solar system's history far later than when that would have been thought possible. The findings, published in a new study in the journal Nature, could add weight to the theory that soggy asteroids brought Earth its first stores of H2O billions of years ago.

Does All Semiconductor Manufacturing Depend on Spruce Pine Quartz? (2024)

news.ycombinator.com Brian Potter 2025-09-21 07:12:46

Here’s an idea you see spreading across the internet every so often: that all semiconductor and solar PV manufacturing depends on extremely pure quartz from the town of Spruce Pine, North Carolina. This quartz is used to make the crucibles which hold the molten silicon as it gets turned into silicon ingots, which are then cut into wafers and made into chips. The quartz needs to be very pure to prevent impurities from seeping into the silicon, and Spruce Pine is where this very pure quartz comes

Around 35 million years ago, a small asteroid traveling at 40,000 miles per hour (64,373 kilometers per hour) struck Earth, crashing into the Atlantic Ocean near the modern-day town of Cape Charles, Virginia. The approximately 3-mile-wide (5-kilometer) object created a large impact crater that’s buried half a mile beneath Chesapeake Bay.
