androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-14 09:57:53

TL;DR Abxylute is planning to release a Bluetooth gaming controller that takes advantage of MagSafe/Qi2. When attached to your phone, the controller can live out of way on the back, and pivot down for a quick gaming session. Sales are set to begin this October, but pricing has yet to be revealed. Who doesn’t love it when phones get a little weird? Foldables are cool and all (especially when we start getting into multi-fold territory) but when it comes to one-of-a-kind designs, there’s nothing

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2025-12-14 14:25:38

For almost two decades, astronomers have detected extremely powerful, millisecond-long flashes of radio waves known as fast radio bursts (FRBs) from beyond our galaxy—and had no clue where they came from. Now, a team of scientists has detected the brightest-ever FRB and finally pinpointed its origin to a nearby galaxy. Researchers have long suspected that FRBs are the result of highly energetic and violent events, like clashes between neutron stars. But even though they can generate more energy
