5 productivity apps I swear by, and one of them unlocks the rest

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-16 05:00:04

Joe Maring / Android Authority Productivity apps are the bane of the app world. On one end of the spectrum are the total nerds who could shame a cyborg with their organizing skills, and on the other are those who dump everything into Google Keep just to have everything in one place. I live somewhere in the middle. I’m not pedantic enough to run the most complex Notion server and flex about it on Reddit, nor am I a simpleton who relies solely on a notes app. I use a bunch of apps every day to i

Ethereum turns 10: From scrappy experiment to Wall Street’s invisible backbone

cnbc.com Mackenzie Sigalos 2025-12-16 00:08:31

watch now CANNES — Ten years ago, Vitalik Buterin and a small band of developers huddled in a drafty Berlin loft strung with dangling lightbulbs, laptops balanced on mismatched chairs and chipped tables. They weren't corporate titans or venture-backed founders — just idealists working long nights to push a radical idea into reality. From that sparse office, they launched "Frontier," Ethereum 's first live network. It was bare-bones — no interface, no polish, nothing user-friendly. But it could

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Prices for the original Nintendo Switch family of products will change in the US on August 3, 2025. The reason is attributed to market conditions in the US. Other products, like certain Switch 2 accessories, select amiibo, and the Alarmo clock, will also see price adjustments. Normally, after a new console launches, the previous system will see a price cut. It appears Nintendo is preparing to do the opposite with the original Switch. And it looks like

AI Won’t Boost Human Productivity Yet, U.S. Federal Reserve Says

Generative AI is not just another tech hype cycle that is bound to die down but is instead a game-changer for human productivity, according to the Federal Reserve. The big caveat, though, is the road to get there will be “inherently slow” and “fraught with risk.” In a recent paper published by the Fed Board of Governors, researchers suggest that the hype around generative AI is probably not a bubble in the long run and that the technology will be a serious macroeconomic force, proving to have r

Skechers is making kids’ shoes with a hidden AirTag compartment

Skechers introduced a line of kids’ sneakers that contain a hidden compartment where parents can slip in an Apple AirTag. Inside the heel of the shoe, a small insert can be lifted to reveal the compartment. Then, parents can track the location of their child — or, at least their child’s shoes. These shoes don’t come with an AirTag, and they don’t appear to be an actual collaboration with Apple, but rather, a third-party product that Skechers has developed on its own.

Nuclear Winter Would Be Even Worse Than We Thought

Despite happening (thankfully) just once in real life, nuclear warfare has long been a staple element of science fiction. Popular depictions of nuclear conflict—from biographic thrillers like Oppenheimer to imagined disasters like The Day After—reflect the understanding that its consequences would be irreversible and catastrophic to modern society.

U NTIL 1700 the world economy did not really grow—it just stagnated. Over the previous 17 centuries global output had expanded by 0.1% a year on average, a rate at which it takes nearly a millennium for production to double. Then spinning jennies started whirring and steam engines began to puff. Global growth quintupled to 0.5% a year between 1700 and 1820. By the end of the 19th century it had reached 1.9%. In the 20th century it averaged 2.8%, a rate at which production doubles every 25 years.
