Here’s what you’ll pay for ANBERNIC’s latest handheld console when sales open this Friday

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-26 14:22:41

TL;DR ANBERNIC reveals RG 476H pricing ahead of sales, and it’s good — but could be better. Formally set at $165, you’ll pay just $150 with an instant $15 discount. The manufacturer also confirms specs, which are almost perfectly in line with those of the RG Slide. Smartphones may be our bread and butter, but we are absolute suckers around here for a nice handheld gaming console — so we were understandably very excited earlier this month when we got word about the ANBERNIC RG 476H on the way.

Apple prepares suppliers for an iPhone sales boost next year, fueled by the new foldable model

Apple is apparently preparing its supply chain for an uptick in new iPhone sales next year, according to a new report by Nikkei. The company has apparently targeted sales of about 95 million iPhone 18 models in 2026, noting that the new lineup won’t arrive until the fall. While the new foldable model will draw interest, Apple is expecting sales to be up across all iPhone 18 models.

Infinite Mac: Resource Fork Roundtripping

One of the frequent emails that I get about Infinite Mac is “I’ve been copying over these files to every mac I’ve owned for the past 20 (or 30 or 40) years, how can I load them into your site?” While there’s been a “The Outside World” drive from the very beginning, all it can do is a best-effort import/export using available browser APIs.

Noise cancelling a fan

Indoor air quality is important. It increases comfort. Potentially, it might improve cognition as well as reducing infection risk in a space. And it would be cool to have Swiss quality air in my house! One can increase air quality by improving ventilation. One way to do this is by turning on a fan near your window. The CDC recommends facing them towards the outside to exhaust air out the house. (I will be writing more about this later). When it comes to fans, the stronger the better. But there

Fed Chair Powell Says AI Probably a Factor in Concerning Unemployment Rates

gizmodo.com Ece Yildirim 2025-09-26 14:20:48

The Fed decided to cut interest rates on Wednesday, citing a weak labor market as the reason. The latest jobs report showed that U.S. employers only added 22,000 jobs in August, down from the 79,000 in July, showing a dramatic slowing in hiring. It was the worst August report since the pandemic and it got the Federal Reserve Board concerned. In a press conference on Wednesday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell was asked whether he thinks AI has any effect on this trend. Powell said that although there i

Yes, that really happened in a show called Loonatics Unleashed. The Kids’ WB show launched on September 17, 2005, and was the franchise’s first foray into the action genre. Our premise?
