AirDrop IRL: iPhone 16 Pro falls from plane and keeps filming [Video]

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-12-05 12:51:33

We all know the feeling we get after dropping our iPhone and immediately inspecting the glass for damage. Now imagine dropping your iPhone out of an airplane. That happened over the summer for conservationist Ashley Prange. Prange was filming video from inside a small aircraft over Germany when her iPhone 16 Pro was suddenly pulled out of her hands and out of the plane. It plummeted more than 2,600 feet while the aircraft was traveling at 110 knots. She assumed that was the end of it. Still, s

Here's the absolutely massive Tamagotchi Paradise next to other objects in the wild, for scale

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-05 15:20:17

No product launch excites me more than the release of a new Tamagotchi. So when it comes time to review one, I like to first give myself a little while to just live with the device — to feel that initial delight and let it die down before I try to look at it critically. That way, I can more fairly assess whether we've actually got a toy that's worth the price tag and will hold a person's attention once the novelty wears off. But Tamagotchi Paradise arrived a few days ago, and while a proper rev

Google is fixing a bug that causes Gemini to keep calling itself a 'failure'

Gemini has been acting strangely for some users over the past few weeks. There are multiple reports online of users getting responses from Gemini that are oddly self-flagellating.

The Paranoid Style in American Politics (1964)

It had been around a long time before the Radical Right discovered it—and its targets have ranged from “the international bankers” to Masons, Jesuits, and munitions makers. American politics has often been an arena for angry minds. In recent years we have seen angry minds at work mainly among extreme right-wingers, who have now demonstrated in the Goldwater movement how much political leverage can be got out of the animosities and passions of a small minority.
