gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-12-08 03:30:16

The Federal Communications Commission's Republican chairman is eliminating regulations at breakneck speed by using a process that cuts dozens of rules at a time while giving the public only 10 or 20 days to review each proposal and submit objections. Chairman Brendan Carr started his "Delete, Delete, Delete" rule-cutting initiative in March and later announced he'd be using the Direct Final Rule (DFR) mechanism to eliminate regulations without a full public-comment period.

The Morning After: DJI’s tiny Mic 3 can record four subjects at once

It was a quiet Labor Day weekend for tech, but the Engadget team has kept busy testing out new gear from the likes of DJI, Sony and Bose. I want to kick things off with the new flagship DJI Mic 3.

I’ve had one for over a week, so I’ll share some impressions as well.
