An upcoming phone could offer double the battery capacity of S25 Ultra

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR HONOR is apparently working on a smartphone with a 10,000mAh battery. This would be double the capacity of the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s battery and larger than some tablet batteries. It’s highly likely that the phone won’t offer a 10,000mAh battery if it launches in the EU. We’re seeing more and more smartphones with huge batteries thanks to silicon-carbon battery tech. HONOR recently launched the HONOR Power, which packs an 8,000mAh battery. However, it loo

CMF Phone 2 Pro Review: A Budget Phone With More Camera Than You Bargained For

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-12-09 09:30:31

We all want more for less—or at least I do. It’s that Holy Grail of deals that makes the idea of budget gadgets so appealing, and especially so in the world of phones. The whole idea of a budget phone is pitching you what may as well be the bargain of the century. For less money, budget phones ostensibly offer you a device that does it all: browses the web, retrieves your email, makes calls and texts, gives you near-unlimited access to apps, and even captures important memories like your niece’s

In Brief Mark Zuckerberg has spent 14 years gobbling up his leafy Palo Alto neighborhood, according to a New York Times report that details how the Meta CEO has purchased 11 properties for over $110 million to create his own personal fiefdom in Crescent Park. The piecemeal compound features a main residence, guest homes, manicured gardens, and a pickleball court — even a pool with a movable hydrofloor that can turn the swimming area into a dance floor.

Apple hasn’t officially announced the iPhone 17 lineup, but we expect an event announcement later this month and the actual reveal in about four weeks.

A large number of protocols on Ethereum and Solana blockchains have no revenue

Have you heard of disguised unemployment? It refers to a situation where a portion of the workforce appears to be employed, but isn't contributing to the economy's output. Consider the massive capital expenditure loss from ghost cities, which represent unoccupied infrastructure. Something similar can be said for the top smart contract blockchains, which hosts hundreds of decentralized protocols.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — An emerging form of surveillance, “wireless-tapping,” explores the possibility of remotely deciphering conversations from the tiny vibrations produced by a cell phone’s earpiece. With the goal of protecting users’ privacy from potential bad actors, a team of computer science researchers at Penn State demonstrated that transcriptions of phone calls can be generated from radar measurements taken up to three meters, or about 10 feet, from a phone.

Reflections on Soviet Amateur Photography

The appearance of strangers within family photo albums was part of how a Soviet imagined and imaged community was constructed and sustained. “Just as any advanced comrade must have a watch, he shall also possess mastery of a photo camera.” So declared Anatoly Lunacharsky in 1926, in his role as the Soviet Union’s Commissar of Enlightenment. This programmatic statement was included in the very first issue of the photography journal Sovetskoe Foto, published that same year. In fact, such amateur

“The Hollow Men” at 100

Eliot in 1926. Photography by Henry Ware Eliot. “The Hollow Men,” as we have it now, was first published in T.S. Eliot’s Poems: 1909-1925. It is the final poem in the collection, appearing directly after The Waste Land. To say it was first published in 1925 is a little misleading. The third section (of the five) appeared in the 1924 miscellany The Chapbook. It was part of a grouping of three lyrics under the title “Doris’s Dream Songs.” (Most of the contributors to The Chapbook are forgotten.

Installing a mini-split AC in a Brooklyn apartment

Last year, 2024, we replaced four PTACs with a mini-split AC. I’ve been asked about it often enough (by neighbors, coworkers, friends) that I decided to write up the experience. Hopefully it’s useful for you, too. Overall this cost us about $40k, including the cost for closing up the PTAC holes. We’ll probably never make the money back on electricity cost savings, so the main benefits are that we have more quiet and more stable temperatures now and overall I’m glad that we did it.
