Forget the Pixel Buds 3, Google Should Make an AirPods Max Killer

Google has a lot in store for us starting next month. I know this, not because of some insider knowledge or gadget-centric ESP, but because last week all of its upcoming announcements were leaked in succession, leaving precious little up to the imagination. Among the upcoming Google drops is a whole family of Pixel 10s, a Pixel Fold, another Pixel smartwatch, and a minor update to Google’s Pixel Buds Pro 2, which are getting a new color.

The flagship health journal published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has grown quiet this year, and a report from MedPage Today indicates that a variety of actions by the Trump administration may be to blame for hamstringing the critical resource. Most strikingly, sources told MedPage that the journal's scientific articles must now obtain clearance for publication from health secretary and anti-vaccine activist Robert F.

Nothing Headphone (1) Review: Something Special

As someone who has been openly critical of Nothing’s claims that it will revolutionize the technology world, I happen to actually love the brand’s products. From the excellent Ear (a)—among our favorite cheap earbuds—to its affordable smartphones, the brand leverages excellent design and near-top-tier internals to absolutely dominate the mid-tier of the tech market.

Expectations were turned upside down as the Epic Recall failed. “Epic Recall, Epic Win!” (大罷免，大成功) was almost an inescapable battle cry for the last few months in Taiwan. Everywhere you went there were bright-eyed bushy-tailed young volunteers asking you if you’d like to recall your local KMT legislator to “protect Taiwan and Counter China” because “they’re all in cahoots with the CCP” and “we have to protect our democracy before its too late.” Well today was Recall Election Day and to my HUGE

In theory, all headphones should sound great when you're listening to music, but not all are specifically designed to provide a high-quality music listening experience. That's not always a bad thing, as some headphones are built more to offer lots of features and good noise-cancelation, while others focus more on a sleek and stylish design. Still, some headphones are designed more with high-quality sound in mind. These headphones don't always have excellent noise-cancelation or some of the high

ExpressVPN bug leaked user IPs in Remote Desktop sessions

ExpressVPN has fixed a flaw in its Windows client that caused Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) traffic to bypass the virtual private network (VPN) tunnel, exposing the users' real IP addresses. One of the key premises of a VPN is masking a user's IP address, allowing users to stay anonymous online, and in some cases, bypass censorship. Failing to do so is a severe technical failure for a VPN product. ExpressVPN is a leading VPN service provider, consistently rated among the top VPN services, and

TCP-in-UDP Solution (eBPF)

The MPTCP protocol is complex, mainly to be able to survive on the Internet where middleboxes such as NATs, firewalls, IDS or proxies can modify parts of the TCP packets. Worst case scenario, an MPTCP connection should fallback to “plain” TCP. Today, such fallbacks are rarer than before – probably because MPTCP has been used since 2013 on millions of Apple smartphones worldwide – but they can still exist, e.g. on some mobile networks using Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEPs) where MPTCP connect
