About to Buy a New iPhone? Here's Why You Should Definitely Wait

If you're ready to upgrade your iPhone, you might want to hang tight. Apple's fall event is happening on Tuesday, during which it's expected to debut the iPhone 17 lineup. So if you wait just a bit longer, you can either score the latest device or get a discount on previous models. Preorders for new iPhones typically open up the Friday after they're announced, meaning you'll likely be able to place an order for the iPhone 17 starting Sept. 12. The phones usually ship a week later. Watch this:

Porsche’s insanely clever hybrid engine comes to the 911 Turbo S

Today, Porsche debuted a new 911 variant at the IAA Mobility show in Munich, Germany. It's the most powerful 911 to date, excluding some limited-run models, and may well be the quickest to 60 mph from a standing start, dispatching that dash in just 2.4 seconds. And it's all thanks to one of the most interesting hybrid powertrains on sale today. Rather than just bolting an electric motor to an existing 911, Porsche designed an entirely new 3.6 L flat-six engine, taking the opportunity to ditch t

Stop writing CLI validation. Parse it right the first time

I have this bad habit. When something annoys me enough times, I end up building a library for it. This time, it was CLI validation code. See, I spend a lot of time reading other people's code. Open source projects, work stuff, random GitHub repos I stumble upon at 2 AM. And I kept noticing this thing: every CLI tool has the same ugly validation code tucked away somewhere. You know the kind: if ( ! opts . server && opts . port ) { throw new Error ( " --port requires --server flag " ); } if ( op

EU fines Google $3.5B over adtech ‘abuse’

The European Commission announced this week that it’s fining Google €2.95 billion (just under $3.5 billion). The commission found that Google had violated European Union antitrust rules by favoring its own advertising services. Specifically, the commission said Google “abused” its “dominant positions” by favoring its ad exchange AdX in both its publisher ad server and in its ad-buying tools. The commission also said Google has 60 days to “bring these self-preferencing practices to an end” and

I’ve been self-hosting my apps since 2009; here’s why you should (or shouldn’t) do it too

Robert Triggs / Android Authority I’m your average techie millennial who saw the dotcom bubble burst and was around when many of the OG services of the internet era simply vanished. Let’s just say, watching favorites like GeoCities and Launchcast go bust was a big motivation for me to start self-hosting my most-used services as soon as I was able to. Initially, it was mostly curiosity and tinkering. That changed over time. Today, self-hosting for me is equal parts habit, convenience, and once-i

David Howard Thornton on the Art of Being Art the Clown

Terrifier icon Art the Clown has made an impact as the new king of painted-face slasher villains and the character enters a new era as a feature at Halloween Horror Nights. The spooky season haunt at Universal Studios Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood features not only haunted houses inspired by Damien Leone’s bloody franchise but also a huge Art the Clown presence for walk-around characters. At the red carpet for Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood, Terrifier’s very own Art the Clown, Davi

The best Switch emulator just got a big update, with support for Silksong

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority TL;DR The official stable release 0.0.3 of the Switch emulator Eden is now available. It adds performance updates, driver downloads, UI improvements, and bug fixes. The update also adds support for Hollow Knight: Silksong, which released just yesterday. It’s been just over a month since the Nintendo Switch emulator Eden dropped the release candidate for version 0.0.3, but after a few rounds of revisions, it’s finally ready for a stable release.

I ditched Docker for Podman

Beginnings I'm old enough to remember when Vagrant looked like a promised land where every development environment would look the same.

The Exit 8 movie is even scarier than the game

Greetings from Toronto, Canada! I’m braving long lines and busy streets for the next week or so to attend the Toronto International Film Festival, better known as TIFF, and I’m planning to take you all along with me. Each day I’ll be publishing a dispatch covering my time at the festival, including thoughts on every single movie I watch. As of now, I have more than 20 different features on my schedule so, uh, expect a lot of thoughts. TIFF is historically a nice preview of the fall and holiday

Everyone’s in awe of ‘tri-fold’ phones, and now projectors are all ‘yeah, us, too’

Stephen Schenck / Android Authority TL;DR The Aurzen ZIP projector has a Z-shaped folding design that collapses to just one inch thick. A 5,000 mAh battery delivers 90 minutes of operation on a charge. In addition to the folding design letting you easily direct the ZIP’s output, you can turn it on its side for screen-mirroring portrait mode. Listen, foldables are cool — who doesn’t love big things that transform into smaller things — but they’re also becoming a little been-there-done-that as

I tried smart glasses with a built-in display, and they made my Meta Ray-Bans feel outdated

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways The Rokid Glasses are launching through Kickstarter, with a retail price of $599. They feature built-in displays that project textual information, such as a teleprompter, AI responses, and more. The 12MP camera sensor leaves something to be desired, and a stable internet connection is required for most functions to work. Lately, I've been thinking a lot about Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's quote about b

3 Sports Documentaries You Absolutely Should Watch Right Now

There was a time in 2012 when NBA fans from all over were stricken with Linsanity. Jeremy Lin was a benchwarmer for the New York Knicks for much of that season, until he helped the team lock down a seven-game winning streak when he replaced a sidelined Carmelo Anthony in February of that year. Lin's popularity exploded, and though he was traded in the following offseason, his dazzling performance cemented a lasting legacy. Lin left the NBA in 2019 to play internationally, and he just announced

‘Talamasca: The Secret Order’ Promises Vampire Intrigue Galore in New Trailer

AMC has just shared a full trailer after that teaser in July, and it teases supernatural secrets, psychic menace, and danger-filled dark rooms. Talamasca runs just six episodes, but AMC is calling it a “first season,” so make of that what you will.

The Download: unnerving AI avatars, and Trump’s climate gift to China

—Rhiannon Williams Earlier this summer, I visited the AI company Synthesia to give it what it needed to create a hyperrealistic AI-generated avatar of me. The company’s avatars are a decent barometer of just how dizzying progress has been in AI over the past few years, so I was curious just how accurately its latest AI model, introduced last month, could replicate me. I found my avatar as unnerving as it is technically impressive. It’s slick enough to pass as a high-definition recording of a

Onion CEO Ben Collins Hasn't Given Up on Print—or Buying Infowars

Ben Collins made a big bet. A year ago, just a few months after he’d been named CEO of The Onion, he relaunched its print edition. Once a favorite on university campuses, The Onion hadn’t published a physical issue since 2013. Common wisdom said that readership, and advertising dollars, just weren’t there for newspapers. But Collins, a fan of the satirical paper since childhood, thought “that’s dumb.” Readers celebrated The Onion’s relaunch and the ability to read all of its bitingly funny head

‘Alien: Earth’ Finally Gave Us the Episode We Were Waiting For

When I saw the title for the fifth episode of Alien: Earth, it seemed too good to be true. Could the episode actually live up to the implications of its title? Were we about to get a brand-new, full-fledged Alien movie in the comfort of our home? Thankfully, the answer to both those questions is “Yes.” The fifth episode of Alien: Earth saw creator Noah Hawley deliver his own version of an Alien movie in the confines of his show, and it was familiar, fascinating, and fraught with tension.

For all that's holy, can you just leverage the Web, please?

When I moved in with my wife Laura in 2005, we lived in a shared apartment in Barcelona that had an ancient washing machine that was just there already, no idea who initially bought it. I managed to break the washing machine door's closing mechanism some time in 2006, so for a few weeks, whenever we did the washing, we had to lean a chair against the door so it wouldn't open. At the time, we were both students and living on a small budget. Eventually, later in the same year, we bought an Electr
