Nothing wants you to talk to your earbuds’ charging case

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Modern earbuds often tout how many microphones they have on each bud, each helping contribute to crystal-clear calls and heavy duty noise cancellation. Nothing’s Ear 3, announced today, may be the first to boast about how many they have on the charging case instead. There are two, for what it’s worth, and they make up a system Nothing is calling “Super Mic.” Activated by a surprisingly prominent “Talk” butt

Nothing Ear 3 scores sweet audio upgrades but double-duty case is the low-key star

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Nothing has announced its newest in-ear earbuds, called the Ear 3. The Nothing Ear 3 features upgraded sound, improved microphones, and LDAC codec support. The case is constructed from recycled aluminum and features dual microphones, enabling it to function as a standalone microphone.

From Qubits to Qubucks: Quantum Digital Currency

This $12 accessory gave my Chromecast with Google TV a new lease on life

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority It’s safe to say that the Chromecast with Google TV is a basic Android streaming device. It packs exactly one USB-C port used for powering the device and an HDMI tongue to output video — that’s it. This design, while perfect for travel and keeping cable mess to a minimum, is rubbish for those who perhaps want a little more functionality. I wasn’t looking for everything and the kitchen sink when I purchased my Chromecast with Google TV, but rather a compact p

YouTube to use AI to help podcasters promote themselves with clips and Shorts

"Your" vs. "My" in user interfaces

“Your” vs “My” in user interfaces When referring to the user’s stuff, which is better out of these: “My account” or “Your account”? “My orders” or “Your orders”? “My cases” or “Your cases”? It’s a trick question because often you don’t need any prefix and can just use: Account Orders Cases Amazon is a good example of this in action because it’s obvious that it’s your account and your orders: But what if your product contains things that belong to you and to others – for example, a case

Self-Assembly Gets Automated in Reverse of 'Game of Life'

Alexander Mordvintsev showed me two clumps of pixels on his screen. They pulsed, grew and blossomed into monarch butterflies. As the two butterflies grew, they smashed into each other, and one got the worst of it; its wing withered away. But just as it seemed like a goner, the mutilated butterfly did a kind of backflip and grew a new wing like a salamander regrowing a lost leg. Mordvintsev, a research scientist at Google in Zurich, had not deliberately bred his virtual butterflies to regenerate

Two Slice, a font that's only 2px tall

Two Slice A font that's only 2px tall, and somewhat readable! Uppercase and lowercase have some different variants, in case you find one more readable than the other. Numbers (sort of) and some punctuation marks are included. You can probably read this, even if you wish you couldn't. It tends to be easier to read at smaller sizes.

Legal win

Just got word that the court dismissed several of WP Engine and Silver Lake’s most serious claims — antitrust, monopolization, and extortion have been knocked out! These were by far the most significant and far-reaching allegations in the case and with today’s decision the case is narrowed significantly. This is a win not just for us but for all open source maintainers and contributors. Huge thanks to the folks at Gibson and Automattic who have been working on this. With respect to any remainin

DOJ and states ask court to compel Apple to hand over documents in antitrust case

Apple is being accused of dragging its feet to produce important documents related to its antitrust case. Here are the details.

Nothing Ear (3) gets fully revealed with case that has a mic and ‘Talk’ button

TL;DR Nothing has revealed the full design of the Ear (3) and its charging case. The earbuds retain much of the transparent casing the company is known for, but some metal components were added for a more premium finish.

Not one to wait for announcement events, the company has gone ahead and revealed the full design of its ne

Nothing’s New Wireless Earbuds Have a ‘Talk’ Button, and I Need to Know What That Means

Buttons are in right now—at least if you’re a designer at Nothing, they are. On its Headphone 1 (the first pair of Nothing-made over-ear headphones), there are all sorts of doodads. A paddle for track selection; a tic-tac-shaped wheel/button for volume and ANC; a pairing button (okay, this one is boring, but still, it’s a button). Even on its recently released Phone 3, there’s a button on the back of the phone for doing really useful stuff with its “Glyph Matrix,” like… playing spin the bottle.
