Bose Soundlink Plus Review: Compromise Never Sounded So Good

wired.com Ryan Waniata 2025-10-12 21:03:00

With so many Bluetooth speakers out there, and more arriving almost daily, it can be easy to underestimate one that dwells in the middle ground. Sandwiched between the packable Soundlink Flex and the beefy Soundlink Max (9/10, WIRED Recommends), Bose’s new midsize Soundlink Plus (no, these aren’t streaming services) carves out its own niche thanks largely to winning sound with equal parts nuance and bravado. Like its siblings, the Plus looks and feels like a premium speaker with an accordingly

Mercedes-Benz electric G-Wagen review: king of the off-road

theverge.com Peter Nelson 2025-10-12 21:00:00

As exciting as it is to see how electric technology redefines automotive transportation, it’s just as exciting to see how it alters what we already have. In the aftermarket, EV-converted restomods are quickly becoming big business. But direct from manufacturers, there’s great potential in electrifying legacy badges by seamlessly blending old design with new technology. Case in point is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology, better known as the EV Geländewagen (which is German for all-t

Samsung is about to find out if Ultra is enough

theverge.com Allison Johnson 2025-10-13 00:00:00

I don’t often get asked about the phones I’m testing when I’m out and about, unless it’s a folding phone. Then I usually hear some version of the same thing: “Oh, I thought about getting one of those! But then I just got a [insert slab-style phone name here].” My anecdotal data matches the actual sales figures; there are many more people curious about folding phones than there are buyers of folding phones. Samsung would very much like that to not be the case, and, by all indications, it’s about

YouTube Premium offers many more perks that I didn’t know I was paying for

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority I’ve been subscribed to YouTube Premium for many years now, and yet I didn’t know what I was exactly paying for. In my mind, I always associated Premium with an ad-free experience; being able to get rid of all those pesky long and interrupting ads before or while watching a video is alone worth the price. Adding the family benefits for my husband, and the fact that this works everywhere, including on our TVs, makes it more of a no-brainer. Even though I don’t

Log your weight in Apple Health quickly and cheaply with this iPhone-compatible smart scale

After my last WiFi-enabled smart scale broke and refused to connect to the Internet anymore, I sought something simpler and cheaper to replace it.

The ADXL345 is a MEMS accelerometer made by Analog Devices. It’s a popular device among hobbyists because of its low cost, easy availability and rich feature set. But apparently you should be careful about where you buy them: one of my readers ended up with a bunch of ADXL345s that had significant offsets, measurement axes that didn’t work at all, and an inoperative freefall detection mode.

Your task is to remember the sequence and identify when the current position matches the one from N steps ago. For a 2-Back test (the standard version), you need to determine if the current square's position matches the position from 2 steps earlier.

In this post, we explore what SIMD functions are, when they are useful, and how to declare and use them effectively. A SIMD function is a function that processes more than one piece of data. Take for example a mathematical sin function: double sin(double angle); This function takes one double and returns one double. The vector version that processes four
