Yamaha’s New Soundbar Has More Up-Firing Dolby Atmos Speakers Than There Are ‘Fast and Furious’ Movies

Sometimes more is better. Case in point: money. I could really use more money, and if you gave me more money, I’d be happy about that—I think most would agree with that sentiment, and if you don’t, I have a favor to ask. Speakers, like money, are also a thing you may want more of, and while they’re not as important as money, they’re important for your ears, and Yamaha is here to take your money in exchange for satisfying your ears in a very maximalist way.

Thank God James Gunn Changed His Mind About Giving Superman Red Trunks

By this point, it’s safe to say that Superman has been an enormous success, both at the box office and among audiences and critics, for director James Gunn and the team at DC Studios.

Yesterday, graphic and surface designer Maybelle Pineda shared a post that gives DC fans a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of

Titan sub implosion caused by absolutely bonkers “toxic workplace environment”

In a 300-plus page final report released today, the US Coast Guard analyzed the 2023 Titan sub implosion from every conceivable angle and came to a clear conclusion: OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush was a dangerous and deeply unpleasant boss.

The Titan itself was "undocumented, unregistered, non-certificated, [and] unclassed." As for Rush, he managed to

Teardown confirms Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a repair nightmare, but maybe that’s the point

TL;DR iFixit gives the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 a pitiful repair score in its latest teardown. Fragile inner components, glued batteries, and a hard-to-replace screen make DIY fixes tough. It could be that the same design choices may help the phone survive extreme durability tests. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 impressed last week in JerryRigEverything’s notorious bend test, which is just as well. According to iFixit, if anything does go wrong, actually repairing the device is a different kind o

Some Sonos Speakers Are Getting So Hot That the USB-C Port Melts

If you’re in the business of selling audio gear with a Sonos logo on it, you may be feeling a little more heat than usual.

Google could fix one of the most annoying things about switching from a Galaxy to a Pixel phone

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on a native option for stock Android to flip the three-button navigation bar, a feature long requested by users switching from Samsung devices.
