This Pop-Out Phone Controller Could Reinvent How We Think of Mobile Gaming

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-09-27 17:00:17

Today’s retro recreations are so good at replicating the Game Boy’s look, feel, and portability. The problem is, my pockets are already occupied with my mobile supercomputer that contains my life behind a 6.3-inch pane of glass. If my phone has a powerful processor and excellent AMOLED display, why can’t it also become my gaming device when I’m on the go? MCON, the controller hyped to hell and back by young engineer Josh King and brought to market by phone peripheral makers OhSnap, could be enou

Daily Hub is a terrible Pixel 10 feature. Here’s what Google needs to do to fix it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-27 12:00:59

Joe Maring / Android Authority Daily Hub is one of the biggest new software features on the Google Pixel 10 series. And as you might have heard by now, it’s already being killed — at least temporarily. This week, Google announced that it was temporarily pausing Daily Hub as it works to “enhance its performance and refine the personalized experience.” The pitch for Daily Hub was that it would be a central place to see a glanceable overview of your day, but as we quickly discovered, Daily Hub’s

AirPods live translation blocked for EU users with EU Apple accounts

news.ycombinator.com Tim Hardwick 2025-09-28 03:46:13

Apple's new Live Translation feature for AirPods will be off-limits to millions of European users when it arrives next week, with strict EU regulations likely holding back its rollout. Apple says on its feature availability webpage that "Apple Intelligence: Live Translation with AirPods" won't be available if both the user is physically in the EU and their Apple Account region is in the EU.

Two ways Apple is (wisely) being inclusive about its latest health features

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-09-29 07:15:15

Apple is sometimes accused of deliberately withholding new features from older devices for no good reason. For example, eyebrows were raised when dual capture video recording was restricted to the iPhone 17 when the same feature has been supported by third-party apps all the way back to the iPhone 11, so is clearly nothing to do with hardware capabilities.

"Live Translation with AirPods is not available if you are in the EU and your Apple Account Country or Region is also in the EU," the company said on its iOS feature availability page.
