techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2025-09-10 01:08:00

Something to look forward to: AMD is preparing to expand its mid-range CPU lineup with the Ryzen 5 9600X3D, a chip that would bring 3D V-Cache tech to a broader audience of gamers and PC builders. The existence of this new chip wasn't revealed through a formal announcement, but rather via a support list for AMD's recently launched Radeon AI R9700 graphics card, where the processor appeared alongside other unreleased models.

Fastmail replaced my Gmail and I’m never going back

Nathan Drescher / Android Authority I had the digital equivalent of an epiphany the other day. I opened my inbox and saw…email. Only email. There were no ads, no AI-generated summaries, and no prompts. It was a strange, yet welcome, feeling after years of using Gmail. Checking my inbox no longer felt like an argument with an algorithm. That’s because I switched to Fastmail earlier this year. It all began when I started distancing myself from American big tech platforms, where Google sits high

I still keep a 6-year-old Android 10 phone in my back pocket — here’s why

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-10 00:00:14

Andy Walker / Android Authority I’ve been feeling quite nostalgic lately, especially for old camera phones. Last month, I praised the Nokia 9 PureView for its unique camera setup that makes every shot an adventure. I’ve also revisited the LG G4, a phone that sparked my love for photography. However, there’s one more older Android camera phone I still carry around whenever possible. In its prime, the HUAWEI P30 Pro was the best Android phone money could buy.

iPadOS 26: Testing the new local capture for podcasting

If you’re a creator or podcaster, I’ll bet your ears perked up towards the end of the WWDC25 keynote, when Apple announced that built-in local audio and video capture during calls would be coming to iPadOS 26. And while I have tried (and repeatedly failed) to fit the iPad in my podcasting workflow, I knew Jason Snell would be one of the first to take the feature for a spin. And he did just that. Currently on iOS and iPadOS, once you’re on a call, you can’t run a second app in the background to

Starting September 1, fully autonomous cars will require a permit to operate in Texas.

Asus ROG Azoth X Review: A Space-Age Gaming Keyboard

A lot of mechanical keyboards struggle with aesthetics. It’s hard to get right! If the styling is overdone, you might inhibit functionality or just have too much going on visually. If you stick to the basics, you might end up with a bland keyboard. Whichever way you go, there’s still a chance you’ll get it wrong and have something that doesn’t look good.

Scientists Just Found Something Unbelievably Grim About Pollution Generated by AI

Tech companies are hellbent on pushing out ever more advanced artificial intelligence models — but there appears to be a grim cost to that progress. In a new study in the science journal Frontiers in Communication, German researchers found that large language models (LLM) that provide more accurate answers use exponentially more energy — and hence produce more carbon — than their simpler and lower-performing peers. In other words, the findings are a grim sign of things to come for the environme

When Humans Learned to Live Everywhere

news.ycombinator.com Carl Zimmer 2025-09-06 12:14:18

Geography is one of the things that sets apart modern humans. Our closest living relatives — chimpanzees and bonobos — are confined to a belt of Central African forests. But humans have spread across every continent, even remote islands. Our species can thrive not only in forests, but in grasslands, swamps, deserts and just about every other ecosystem dry land has to offer. In a study published on Wednesday, scientists pinpoint the origin of our extraordinary adaptability: Africa, about 70,000

After years of false starts, the next Highlander movie is finally coming from director Chad Stahelski and with Henry Cavill in the lead role. Cavill’s been the only casting we’ve known about for some time, but now we know his former movie dad, Russell Crowe, is along for the ride. Per Collider, Crowe will play a “key role” opposite Cavill, who’s still expected to be playing immortal warrior Connor MacLeod.

Using the Ocean to Suck Up CO2 Could Come With the Small, Unintended Side Effect of Wiping Out Marine Life

As global temperatures soar and emissions remain higher than ever, scientists are exploring the dramatic, planet-wide interventions we could take to stave off the climate crisis.

Methane Pollution Has Cheap, Effective Solutions That Aren’t Being Used

This story originally appeared on Vox and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Odorless and colorless, methane is a gas that is easy to miss—but it’s one of the most important contributors to global warming. It can trap up to 84 times as much heat as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, though it breaks down much faster. Measured over 100 years, its warming effect is about 30 times that of an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide. That means that over the course of decades, it takes smaller a
