If you’ve ever spent time frantically searching for an outlet in a crowded airport, panicked over your phone battery at a music festival, or just wished you could charge everything without lugging around a mess of cables, you’re not alone. It’s frustrating (and can be kind of scary) when you don’t have any charge left on your phone. What if you have an emergency? What if the group chat keeps texting you and you can’t respond?

Meta's Oakley Smart Glasses Have 3K Video—Watch Out, Ray-Ban

wired.com Verity Burns 2026-03-09 14:17:11

When Meta launched the second generation of its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in late 2023, few predicted the success that lay ahead for the collaboration—perhaps not even Meta itself. But now, with more than two million sales under its belt, Meta has been looking for a way to widen its partnership with eyewear giant and Ray-Ban owner EssilorLuxottica and keep up the momentum. The answer it seems was staring them in the face: a collaboration with the company’s second largest brand, Oakley. “We la

Low-wage support workers become a new gateway for cyberattacks

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2026-03-09 19:53:00

Editor's take: As businesses increasingly rely on outsourced tech support to cut costs, the risks associated with these operations are coming into sharper focus. The threat is no longer just about technical vulnerabilities; it's about the people behind the screens, and the growing pressure they face from both economic hardship and sophisticated cybercriminals. Hackers are increasingly turning the very systems designed to help customers – outsourced tech support and call centers – into powerful

Kerry Wan/ZDNET I've spent large portions of my life looking for ways to extend the battery life on my Android phones. Admittedly, that sounds rather dramatic, but growing up with only budget models meant I was constantly tweaking device settings to squeeze every bit of juice out of their batteries. Thanks to this micromanaging, I successfully pushed the batteries on all my past smartphones to their absolute limit. I don't want to hoard this knowledge to myself, so I've decided to share it wit

Concha Sol Hearing Aids Review: Feeling Dated

Concha Labs has been making over-the-counter hearing aids since 2017, marketing just one product—the Concha Sol. The hearing aids have a familiar design, a classic behind-the-ear configuration with a simple rocker control on the back of each. Concha particularly touts its customizability: The Sol come in your choice of four colors, and can be configured with lead wires in four different sizes, though it should be noted that many competing hearing aids have lead wires that can be adjusted on the

A real fixed-point decimal crate in Rust

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-07 05:50:00

Primitive fixed-point decimal types. Rust built-in f32 and f64 types have two drawbacks: can not represent decimal numbers in base 10 accurately, because they are in base 2; can not guarantee the fraction precision, because they are floating-point. This crate provides fixed-point decimal types to address the issues by using integer types to represent numbers with a scaling factor (also called as "scale") in base 10 to achieve the accuracy. This is a common idea. Many other decimal crates do

Composers and orchestras like to use their lowest instruments sparingly, for maximum impact. Few instruments go lower and are used more sparingly than the huge and strange octobass, one of the rarest classic instruments in existence. Invented in 1850 by Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, the octobass was intended to bring an extremely deep rumble to the orchestra sound. The three-stringed instrument stands between 11 and 12 feet tall, about twice the height of a double bass. This giant bass produces soun

Trump EPA May Undo Ban on Cancer-Causing Asbestos

In 2024, the Biden administration issued a ban on the last type of asbestos still used in the United States due to its links to cancer.
