Second analyst backs claim that AirPods Pro 3 won’t launch this year

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2026-03-18 23:10:17

It had been widely expected that AirPods Pro 3 would launch sometime in 2025, in part based on reports from reliable leakers, in part simply because an update is due. AirPods Pro 2 will be three years old by this year’s iPhone launch. But Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said last month that the new model won’t launch until next year, and that view has now reportedly been echoed in a new timeline … While 9to5Mac has not been able to independently verify the existence of the timeline, a Korean chip i

T-Mobile made headlines by partnering with Starlink for a direct-to-cell mobile service -- effectively broadening T-Mobile's reliability and availability as a cellphone carrier. But in terms of broadband, how do these providers compare? T-Mobile and Starlink are some of the biggest names in rural broadband. T-Mobile's 5G Home Internet is a crowd-pleaser, and is often favored in customer satisfaction surveys, and Starlink has effectively revolutionized satellite internet with its fleet of low Ea

Between the Reply Guys playing devil’s advocate and the shitposters spamming disinformation for fun, today’s trolls play in a completely different league from the keyboard warriors of yesteryear. And they don’t just troll randomly for lolz. They latch on to their targets, hoping to get a rise by spreading their brand of hate—whether racist, sexist, homophobic, or all of the above—relentlessly and more organized than ever before.

SEO for chatbots: How Adobe aims to help brands get noticed in the age of AI

Adobe For years, Google has effectively been the sole gatekeeper to online advertising, determining which brands get seen and which get lost in the noise. That paradigm is slowly but surely starting to shift, as people increasingly turn to AI chatbots like ChatGPT to find information online. Brands are having to adjust their marketing strategies in response.

How to modify Starlink Mini to run without the built-in WiFi router

news.ycombinator.com About Oleg Kutkov 2026-03-19 04:40:07

The Starlink Mini terminal is designed as a compact, all-in-one solution with an integrated Wi-Fi router. While this design is ideal for typical consumer use, certain applications—such as custom networking setups, embedded installations, or power-constrained environments—may benefit from removing the internal router entirely. In this article, I’ll detail the process of physically removing the built-in Wi-Fi router board from the Starlink Mini, allowing the terminal to operate solely via Ethernet

In a nutshell: As nations set ever more ambitious targets for renewable energy and electrification, the humble high-voltage cable has emerged as a linchpin – and a potential chokepoint – in the race to decarbonize the global economy.
