Is the Xperia line dead? Sony clarifies the future of its smartphones

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-08 02:15:31

It’s no secret that Sony Xperia smartphones aren’t the best-selling phones, nor are they the top choice for Android flagships .

When the company’s latest flagship, the Xperia 1 VII, began dying and disappearing across markets , many presumed that the end was near for Sony’s Xperia line of phones. Sony is laying rest to those fears, indicating it is around,

HBO Max is about to get ‘aggressive’ to stop password sharing

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-12-08 06:44:20

The days of streaming service password sharing seem to be ending fast. HBO Max just signaled that it’s about to launch an “aggressive” campaign to snuff out password sharing among subscribers. Here’s what that means. HBO Max plans to eliminate password sharing soon Last fall, HBO Max—which at the time was just Max, and had a blue logo—said it would start telling password sharers they had to pay more for the privilege. It seems that campaign didn’t move the needle much. JB Perrette, head of s

Trump’s endless new tariffs are threatening businesses — and you

theverge.com Lauren Feiner 2025-12-08 06:45:46

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: a new wave of tariffs are taking effect today. As Trump has ratcheted up pressure on foreign imports over the last few months, some Americans might not have noticed a marked difference in what they’re spending, especially as huge tax hikes have been announced and then delayed or cut back. Trump’s perpetually changing tariff deadlines and rates led a Financial Times columnist to coin the phrase “TACO trade,” short for “Trump Always Chickens Out.” But expe

Researchers around the world set to work unraveling the mystery, reviewing readings from satellites, aircraft, and greenhouse-gas monitoring stations. They eventually spotted a clear pattern: Methane emissions had increased sharply across the tropics, where wetlands were growing wetter and warmer. That created the ideal conditions for microbes that thrive in anaerobic muck, which gobbled up more of the carbon-rich organic matter and spat out more methane as a by-product.
