is a former senior reviewer who worked at The Verge from 2011 until May 2025. His coverage areas included audio (Sonos, Apple, Bose, Sony, etc.), home theater, smartphones, photography, and more. After the year of self-induced tumult that Sonos has been through, I can understand why some people are reluctant to spend money on the company’s products. But interim CEO Tom Conrad has shown that he’s determined to get back on track and revitalize Sonos as the leading whole-home audio brand. The cont

16 years later, iOS 26 finally catches up to Android for custom ringtones

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-21 06:32:41

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR iOS 26 finally introduces the ability to easily set custom ringtones from audio files. Previously, creating iPhone ringtones required a complex process involving GarageBand or a Mac. This feature has been available on Android since its inception, so iPhones have finally caught up. iOS 26 is a big software release for iPhones, not just because Apple made the big jump up from iOS 18 to 26.

Trump Wants to Kill California’s Emissions Standards. Here’s What That Means for EVs

This week the White House and President Donald Trump attempted to kill, once and for all, California's plan to accelerate the sale of zero-emission cars and trucks in the state. In a ceremony in Washington, DC, on Thursday attended by trucking executives, Trump signed three resolutions passed by Congress aimed at revoking California’s nearly 60-year-old power to set its own motor vehicle emissions rules.

Frontier AI Models Are Getting Stumped by a Simple Children's Game

Earlier this week, researchers at Apple released a damning paper, criticizing the AI industry for vastly overstating the ability of its top AI models to reason or "think." The team found that the models including OpenAI's o3, Anthropic's Claude 3.7, and Google's Gemini were stumped by even the simplest of puzzles. For instance, the "large reasoning models," or LRMs, consistently failed at Tower of Hanoi, a children's puzzle game that involves three pegs and a number of differently-sized disks t

Jack Wallen/ZDNET There are so many Linux distributions on the market, and they range from the command line only all the way to functioning works of art. The majority of distros fall somewhere in the middle, of course, and that's perfectly fine because most users prefer a blend of aesthetics and functionality. That's why the likes of Linux Mint, ZorinOS, elementaryOS, and Ubuntu are so popular. But every once in a while, a team releases an update to its distribution that reminds you that Linux

Scientists Just Solved a 14,000-Year-Old Puppy Mystery

In 2011 and 2015, two approximately 14,000-year-old pups were pulled from northern Siberia’s permafrost roughly 25 miles (40 kilometers) from the village of Tumat. Within the same layers of icy soil, researchers found woolly mammoth bones with evidence of human processing. This led some to wonder whether the “Tumat Puppies” may have been tamed wolves or even early dogs waiting around for scraps at a prehistoric butchering site.
