engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-24 03:30:06

Nothing has unveiled its latest premium earbuds, the Ear 3 ($179), which look ready to pair tastefully with its newest Phone 3. The company has refined its headphone series with an aluminum finish (in places) across both the buds and the case. Also housed inside the case is the Ear 3’s new standout feature/gimmick: the Super Mic. It’s like a walkie-talkie for your wireless headphones, pitched as a noise-banishing mic option — but I’ll get to that later. A slightly revamped design apparently gi

Midcentury North American Restaurant Placemats

Today’s collection is a grab bag of midcentury North American restaurant placemats. Like so many past ephemera finds I’ve shared here, I bought these at Brimfield Flea this July from a vendor who had around 500 in a big plastic tub. I bought 25 for $75 (a steal!) but I did have to talk myself out of asking how much it would be for the whole box. Most of these date from the late 1940s through the ’50s, when the postwar boom and expanding highway system put long-distance vacations within reach fo

Fortnite creators will soon be able to sell in-game items

Epic is continuing its attempts to turn Fortnite into a platform that’s bigger than just battle royale — this time by giving creators the ability to make and sell in-game items. Starting in December, Fortnite creators will be able to sell items directly from the islands they’ve built, using new tools that will be launching later on. The benefit, of course, is that creators on the platform will have a new revenue stream (currently, they earn revenue primarily based on engagement numbers). And Ep

Police Puzzled by 180 Kilos of SpaceX-Branded Cocaine Found at Crash Site

A single-engine plane crashed landed in a field of sugar cane in Brazil over the weekend, according to local news media Alagoas 24 Horas, killing the pilot and leaving behind 180 kilograms — or almost 400 pounds — of cocaine. So far, it just sounds like a tale of drug smuggling gone awry. Except that the coke, stacked together in neat bricks and wrapped in plastic, as shown in a video from local police obtained by Alagoas, sported a distinctive label: the official SpaceX logo, in blue and white

Cybercriminals Have a Weird New Way to Target You With Scam Texts

Cybercriminals have a new way of sending millions of scam text messages to people. Typically when fraudsters send waves of phishing messages to phones—such as toll or delivery scams—they may use a huge list of phone numbers and automate the sending of messages. But as phone companies and telecom services have rolled out more tools to detect scams in texts, criminals have started driving around cities with fake cell phone towers that send messages directly to nearby phones.
