Samsung brings its AirPods-esque 'blade' design to the Galaxy Buds 3 FE

Last summer, Samsung overhauled its Galaxy Buds line with the Galaxy Buds 3 and 3 Pro. This year, the company is adding a third, more affordable option to its earbuds family with the Galaxy Buds 3 FE ($150). This so-called "fan edition" carries a "blade" design similar to the existing Galaxy Buds 3 duo, but has the ear tip fit akin to the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. Active noise cancellation (ANC) is still in the mix here, even with the lower price, and a solid list of features make these an option to co

The perfect cup of coffee, wherever you are? You need the OutIn Nano portable espresso maker and Fino coffee grinder

For many, the perfect cup of coffee is the best way to start their day. But if you don’t have a lot of kitchen counter space, travel frequently, or spend your weekends camping, the ideal brew isn’t always within reach. At-home Coffee makers are large, bulky, and expensive. And while portable espresso makers aren’t a new concept, the manual work and water temperature limitations get in the way. Unless you get the OutIn Nano portable espresso maker and the Fino Coffee grinder. Having won leadersh

It's the Housing, Stupid

A few weeks ago, I was on The Compound and Friends, and there was a debate about why we were seeing 2021-like meme stock activity and money market funds holding record assets at the same time. For context, both of these things are true. If we look at the performance of the 100 most shorted stocks compared to the Russell 1000, that performance spread is nearing 2021 levels: It’s like a bunch of mini GameStop short squeezes all over again. And if we look at the non-profitable tech retail invest

August 17, 2025 MCP tools with dependent types This summer, I’ve been playing a bit with writing an MCP server for Defold editor. The idea was to give Claude access to evaluating Lua code in the editor scripting context, so it can use the APIs available for querying and modifying game content. The best word to describe the experience is entertaining — it has a very vague idea of the available APIs, and prefers to experiment by evaluating code instead of browsing documentation, which results in

iPhone 17 Rumors: Everything to Know, From Redesigned Cameras to an Upgraded Display

Key takeaways: The iPhone 17 could feature a redesigned camera bump, though it may not be as drastic a difference as the Pro models. A higher refresh rate could be coming to the full lineup, potentially enabling the baseline iPhone to have an always-on display. Prices remain uncertain with tariffs, but they'll likely go up, given it's been years since Apple raised the price of the iPhone. The anticipated reveal of Apple's newest iPhone is just weeks away. Rumors have been swirling about what

Ars Technica System Guide: Four sample PC builds, from $500 to $5,000

Sometimes I go longer than I intend without writing an updated version of our PC building guide. And while I could just claim to be too busy to spend hours on Newegg or Amazon or other sites digging through dozens of near-identical parts, the lack of updates usually correlates with "times when building a desktop PC is actually a pain in the ass." Through most of 2025, fluctuating and inflated graphics card pricing and limited availability have once again conspired to make a normally fun hobby a

The Plan to Turn the Caribbean’s Glut of Sargassum Into Biofuel

Esteban Amaro, director of the Quintana Roo Sargassum Monitoring Network, agrees that fuel is the best product to focus on. Processing the seaweed into other consumer products is possible, but inadvisable given that the health risks of doing so have not yet been sufficiently studied. “I believe that sargassum’s purpose is to produce energy, because when it decomposes, it releases many heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, and cadmium,” Amaro says. “Therefore it is better to produce biofuels or bi

Don’t count out an M4-powered Apple Vision Pro just yet

Earlier this week, it was reported that the next-gen Apple Vision Pro will come with the upcoming M5 chip and not the current M4. Not so fast, however, says the source of the M4-powered Apple Vision Pro. Mark Gurman responded to the apparent code leak that referenced a variety of unannounced Apple hardware, including the next Apple Vision Pro. It was Ming-Chi Kuo who claimed Apple Vision Pro 2 would be powered by the M5 chip and support Apple Intelligence. That was September 2024. Apple added

Here are three unusual Apple product announcements to look forward to this fall

Every fall, almost like clockwork – Apple runs through its course of annual product refreshes. New iPhones, new Apple Watches, new iPads, and new Macs are almost a guarantee over the course of September and October. This year, though – there are a few uncommon product refreshes that we should be seeing over the next couple of months, for products that often go years without an update.

Flow manages the life cycle of the process and handles incoming and outgoing messages by putting or taking them on channels. Step-fns do not access cha

Best Teeth Whitening Kits You Should Check Out In 2025

Teeth whitening kits aren't exactly what most people would call riveting. I must say I was blown away by the entire Smile Brilliant process and package. I wasn't aware you could get custom-fitted whitening trays anywhere other than a dentist's office, but you can with Smile Brilliant. Wearing these whitening trays is just like wearing a retainer. They fit perfectly to your teeth because they're designed using putty impressions you make of your teeth. The process works like this: You order a kit

Why Nim?

You might have heard of the line, "one ring to rule them all" from the book the Lord of the Rings. Though, this ring is an evil object created by the evil Sauron, the idea of just one thing existing to manage or control a lot of things at the same time, is something we all long for. We all need that one app which can manage all our tasks. We need that one card that can hold or manage all our credit and debit card information. How we long for a single language for the whole world (by the way thi

A Visual Exploration of Gaussian Processes (2019)

Even if you have spent some time reading about machine learning, chances are that you have never heard of Gaussian processes. And if you have, rehearsing the basics is always a good way to refresh your memory. With this blog post we want to give an introduction to Gaussian processes and make the mathematical intuition behind them more approachable. Gaussian processes are a powerful tool in the machine learning toolbox . They allow us to make predictions about our data by incorporating prior kno

Show HN: NextDNS Adds "Bypass Age Verification"

We just shipped a new feature in NextDNS: Bypass Age Verification. More and more sites (especially adult ones) are now forcing users to upload IDs or selfies to continue. We think that’s a terrible idea: handing over government documents to random sites is a huge privacy risk. This new setting workarounds those verification flows via DNS tricks. It’s available today to all users, including free accounts. We’re curious how the HN community feels about this. Is it the right way to protect priva

Show HN: OverType – A Markdown WYSIWYG editor that's just a textarea

Hi HN! I got so frustrated with modern WYSIWYG editors that I started to play around with building my own. The problem I had was simple: I wanted a low-tech way to type styled text, but I didn't want to load a complex 500KB library, especially if I was going to initialize it dozens of times on the same page. Markdown in a plain <textarea> was the best alternative to a full WYSIWYG, but its main drawback is how ugly it looks without any formatting. I can handle it, but my clients certainly can'

The Enterprise Experience

The Enterprise Experience It's the 18th of August. Today is a special day for me, as it marks my one-year anniversary of working at $ENTERPRISE. Before this I had been a professional software developer for the best part of a decade, but entirely in startups and SMEs. This time last year I made the decision to sell out and hit the big leagues for fun and financial profit. After my interview the only feedback I received was that I didn't have much exposure to enterprise software development, whi

5 password managers you should use instead of LastPass

Joe Hindy / Android Authority There was a time when LastPass was THE password manager everyone should be using. That statement still stands, but with one small twist: LastPass is now the number one password manager everyone should stay far away from. The reason for this? Multiple rounds of leaks and a series of security vulnerabilities. Give LastPass a hard pass, because there are so many better options available — ones that are both more secure and convenient — you’ll wonder why you didn’t sw

Ready to try Apple's iOS 26? Here are all the compatible iPhones that can run public beta 2 today

Soon after the Apple iPhone event takes place, we'll finally have access to iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 — both of which are bringing huge upgrades to your iPhone and iPad's operating systems.

Google is adding "Projects" feature to Gemini to run research tasks

Google's Gemini is now testing a new feature called "Projects." This will be similar to OpenAI's Project Feature for ChatGPT. With Projects, you can add files, documents or your code. Then, you can ask Gemini to reference those files in project conversations. Google describes this as a feature where you "start by adding files to the project. Gemini can reference these files in project conversations and use them to generate new documents and code." With Projects, you can group similar tasks to

LLMs tell bad jokes because they avoid surprises

LLMs generate slop because they avoid surprises by design LLMs suck at comedy, art, journalism, research, and science for the same fundamental reason Dan Fabulich 5 min read · 3 days ago 3 days ago -- Listen Share Have you ever asked an LLM to tell you a joke?

Lessons learned from building a sync-engine and reactivity system with SQLite

Swap Protein Powder for Clear Whey Protein to Hydrate, Recover and Build Muscle

There's been an uptick in high-protein snacks, shakes and protein powders, so it’s no surprise that protein is still a hot topic. If you rely on supplements to help achieve your protein quota, then you know how heavy traditional protein shakes can sometimes feel, even when mixed with a high-speed blender. Clear whey protein might be worth a try. Clear whey protein is a version of whey protein isolate (a popular protein powder) that undergoes an ultrafiltration process to remove fat, lactose and
