I tested Dyson's pricey flagship headphones and they're better than expected (and $200 off)

Jada Jones/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways The Dyson OnTrac headphones Impressive sound, adequate noise-canceling, and innovative design choices define the OnTrac headphones. Dyson could spend more time refining these headphones' physical controls, as they can be finicky and unreliable. The Dyson OnTrac headphones are on sale for $300 (save $200) during Amazon Prime Day.

Someone Is Calling Trump Officials Using an AI Clone of Marco Rubio’s Voice

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-09-21 07:35:25

Government employees keep getting calls from Secretary of State Marco Rubio—which would be bad enough, frankly, having to talk to that guy. But making matters worse, it seems that it’s not actually Marco Rubio but instead, an unidentified caller who is mimicking his voice with artificial intelligence software, according to a report from the Washington Post. The technologically advanced crank caller has reportedly contacted at least three foreign ministers, a governor, and a member of Congress,

An Unknown Entity Has Voice Cloned the Secretary of State and Is Calling High Level Officials

In a perfect example of why it's an absolutely terrible idea for high-level government officials to use personal cell phones, text messaging platforms, and apps like Signal, secretary of state Marco Rubio has fallen victim to a scammer who's been using AI to clone his voice and writing style. As the Washington Post reports, a July 3 State Department cable revealed that an impostor posing as Rubio had "contacted at least five non-Department individuals, including three foreign ministers, a US go

Apple just added more frost to its Liquid Glass design

Apple’s new Liquid Glass design language just got a little more… frosted. In the third iOS 26 developer beta, Apple dialed back the transparency of navigation bars, buttons, and tabs that once allowed you to clearly see the content beneath them. Apple already toned down the glassiness of Liquid Glass after many users complained that it was too transparent and made it more difficult to see certain options, like the icons inside the Control Center.

New iPhone 17 Pro renders highlight aluminum design, repositioned Apple logo

A new image from Apple leaker Majin Bu provides a new look at the repositioned Apple logo on the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro. Last week we got our first look at what the new Apple logo placement would look like, though this new image provides a much clearer picture. One of the less talked about design elements of the new iPhone 17 Pro design is the fact that Apple will be shifting to a two-tone design of sorts, with an all aluminum frame and camera bump.

Dyson, techno-centric design and social consumption

7th July 2025 As a design engineer I’ve spent plenty of time mulling over what ‘good’ design is. The question is complex and is a starting point for reflecting on our role as designers, how design should interact with society and what even constitutes design! I recently visited the Glasgow Zine Festival and picked up a wee zine about one man’s hatred of James Dyson, which has inspired me to put some of my own thoughts on the topic down in words.

A petition to preserve video game access recently achieved an important milestone of one million signatures, but it has two more challenges to overcome before reaching the final level. The "Stop Killing Games" movement reached a million votes earlier this month, meaning the European Union will have to consider adopting legislation addressing this issue.

When Figma starts designing us

news.ycombinator.com Rune Madsen 2025-09-23 09:38:27

I first encountered Figma in 2013, when Dylan Field demoed an early prototype to me at O’Reilly’s Foo Camp. I remember the pen tool feeling surprisingly elegant, but I missed the bigger picture: the radical implications of a design tool that ran in the browser. A decade later, Figma is a core part of our creative process, and without it, we wouldn't have been able to build a fully remote design practice. That’s probably why Dylan is a near-billionaire and I’m not. However, over the course of th

Robert Triggs / Android Authority When WhatsApp changed its terms in 2021, I was one of the many users who looked for alternative messaging apps for Android. While I had heard about Signal before, the controversial move by WhatsApp prompted me to actually try the app out. I loved it then and I still love it now. But over all these years, I barely use Signal even though I prefer it greatly over WhatsApp. And that’s because of a major advantage WhatsApp has over the privacy-focused messaging app
