arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-09 17:36:42

CUPERTINO, Calif.—Apple's popular AirPods Pro in-ear headphones are getting a substantial upgrade. The new model, dubbed AirPods Pro 3, greatly improves active noise cancellation (ANC), performs live translations, and tracks your heart rate like a fitness wearable. This will have to be subjected to third-party testing, but Apple made some intriguing claims about AirPods Pro 3's performance during its iPhone and Apple Watch announcement today.

Strong Eventual Consistency - The Big Idea behind CRDTs CRDTs. Data structures that can be replicated across multiple nodes, edited independently, merged back together, and it all just works. But collaborative document editing and multiplayer TODO lists are just the tip of the iceberg - I believe the big application is distributed databases, and for that we need to talk about consistency.

To keep his edge, international cybersecurity expert Nipun Jaswal does more than stay up on current security threats and trends; he literally keeps his hands in the game, regularly coding—in up to 10 different languages—and doing lab work including exploring attack vectors and hunkering down with disassemblers and debuggers.

Time to Recycle an Old Laptop or Printer? Here's Where to Take It

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-11 08:47:00

Once that old laptop or printer stops working, you need to get rid of it. However, that can be easier said than done. Throwing it in the trash will only lead to more items that could be recycled slowly deteriorating in a landfill, and depending on the device in question could be illegal. That's probably why a recent CNET survey found that almost a third of US adults still have old, unused electronics hanging around the house. The good news? Recycling your old devices is easier than ever. Major

[ITS] According to a conspiracy theory long popular among ITS and TOPS-20 fans, Unix's growth is the result of a plot, hatched during the 1970s at Bell Labs, whose intent was to hobble AT&T's competitors by making them dependent upon a system whose future evolution was to be under AT&T's control. This would be accomplished by disseminating an operating system that is apparently inexpensive and easily portable, but also relatively unreliable and insecure (so as to require continuing upgrades from
