I Tried the Nothing Phone 3 and It Definitely Didn't Live Up to the Hype

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-11 17:00:00

Nothing made things difficult for itself by calling its latest phone its first "true flagship." It suggests that it is a contender to premium phones such as the iPhone 16 Pro or the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but it simply isn't. Instead it's a solid midranger, offering decent performance and a host of quirky features for a relatively affordable price. At $799 (£799), the Nothing Phone 3 is the most expensive phone the company has made, and it backs this up with a more potent processor, better cameras a

What’s Behind Gen Z’s Sex Recession?

wired.com Zoë Schiffer 2026-01-11 17:56:53

Zoë Schiffer: Yeah, fascinating. So let's talk about the rest of the internet outside the social media, because Gen Z is the first generation that has always known a world where porn and nudes are readily available online in just a few clicks. And I'm curious, how has that impacted them? Carter Sherman: What's really interesting about porn is when I was going into this book, I thought I would find a diverse array of beliefs about it.

Solar+storage is so much farther along than you think

I chat with Kostantsa Rangelova and Dave Jones, authors of a new Ember report, who find that solar-plus-storage costs have declined so much that it can now provide baseload-level power in sunny cities for less than the cost of new nuclear or even new gas. We discuss why even energy pros are behind the curve on this, how quickly the technology is improving, and why most of the world doesn't see natural gas as a viable option the way the US does.

The New ‘Predator: Badlands’ Trailer Is Half Android and Full Awesome

While shooting Predator: Badlands, director Dan Trachtenberg and his team called it by a codename: “Backpack.” The origin of that name becomes very clear, very quickly in a brand-new action-packed trailer for the film, which features Elle Fanning as a Weyland-Yutani android being carried around by a Predator on his back. Here’s the incredible new trailer for Predator: Badlands: Clearly, there is so much going on in this trailer. So much mythology. So many teases of what’s possible. For example

OpenAI is releasing a new AI agent, creatively dubbed ChatGPT Agent — which is not to be confused with the two other AI agents it's already released (did we mention that OpenAI has a bit of a branding problem?)

Will the Fear of Being Confused for AI Mean That We Will Now Write Differently?

by David Beer Could there be anything more insulting for a writer than someone assuming that their writing is an output of generative artificial intelligence? The mere possibility of being confused for a neural network is enough to make any creative shudder. When it happens, and it will happen, it will inevitably sting. By implication, being mistaken for AI is to be told that your writing is so basic, so predictable, so formulaic, so replicable, so obvious, so neat, so staid, so emotionless, s
