engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-06 22:45:35

A power bank with a wireless charging option is a very handy device for anyone who's typically on the go. It's probably worth having a fully charged one on hand in case of a power outage too. Anker makes some of our favorite power banks, and one with a Qi2 charging function and 10,000mAh capacity is currently on sale. You can snap it up for $60. That's a 25 percent discount on the list price of $80. It is also the lowest price for this model so far in 2025. The power bank is currently available

A Single Poisoned Document Could Leak ‘Secret’ Data Via ChatGPT

wired.com Matt Burgess 2025-12-07 12:30:00

The latest generative AI models are not just stand-alone text-generating chatbots—instead, they can easily be hooked up to your data to give personalized answers to your questions. OpenAI’s ChatGPT can be linked to your Gmail inbox, allowed to inspect your GitHub code, or find appointments in your Microsoft calendar. But these connections have the potential to be abused—and researchers have shown it can take just a single “poisoned” document to do so. New findings from security researchers Mich

Woman wins $200,000 case after her phone started a house fire while charging

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-07 17:53:31

TL;DR A woman has been awarded the equivalent of $200,000 after her phone caused a house fire while charging. The court ruled the LG K8 was defective and failed to meet safety expectations. Most of the payout will go to her insurer, but she also received compensation for injuries. We’ve heard multiple reports of the Google Pixel 6a melting down over recent months, but nothing as nightmarish as this.

iOS 26 gives AirPods charging case a new, expanded lighting system

It’s become common for AirPods to get new features with each major version of iOS. That’s true with iOS 26, especially for AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4. But it seems iOS 26 also introduces a rarity: an update to how the AirPods charging case works. One of iOS 26’s new AirPods-related features involves the battery. There are new charging notifications that let you know when you should charge, and when your AirPods are fully charged. These are similar to existing Dynamic Island battery indicators,

Survey reveals what you really think of Pixel 10 with built-in Qi2 magnets

The Pixel 10 series launches later this month, and recent leaks suggest that Google will finally bring Qi2 magnetic wireless charging to these phones via built-in magnets. Google wouldn’t be the first Android OEM to offer this support (hello, HMD), but it’s still a major expansion of the tech. Colleague Joe Maring says this leak has convinced him to buy a Pixel 10 phone. But what do readers think of this technology on the Pixel 10 series? We asked, and here’s what you told us.

Android really needs a better definition of fast charging, here’s how I’d fix it

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Maybe it’s just the sheer number of phones that cross my desk, but I have a love-hate relationship with USB-C. It’s great that I can charge my headphones, laptop, and latest Android smartphones with the same plug, but figuring out whether my gadgets are actually charging optimally is often just a matter of shrugging and hoping for the best.

This new Android security feature could interfere with fast charging, and here’s why

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-10 04:30:09

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16’s upcoming USB Protection feature enhances security by defaulting new USB connections to charging-only when the device is locked. This security measure may interfere with fast charging, as many protocols require data negotiation between the phone and the charger to work. If your phone isn’t fast charging, a simple workaround is to unlock the device and then reconnect the USB cable. Of all the new features in Android 16, Advanced Protection

Ryan Whitwam / Android Authority TL;DR The Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra has passed by the website of China’s 3C regulatory body. The listing reveals that Samsung’s upcoming tablet will have 45W charging, in line with last year’s model. A Samsung executive previously confirmed that the Galaxy Tab S11 series was in the works.

Galaxy S26 Ultra charging time leak leaves us with more questions than answers

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra can reach 75 to 80% capacity after 30 minutes of 60W charging. That isn’t really an upgrade over the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s charging time. It’s still possible that the S26 Ultra could beat the S25 Ultra when it comes to total charging time. Leaks suggest the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could get 60W wired charging speeds. This would be a significant leap from 45W seen on previous Galaxy S Ultra handsets. What does

See, all the examples above are limited by the curvature of the earth, and that is why the horizon seems to be the limiting factor. But there are two additional variables in play that can allow for some truly amazing sightlines: the height of the target and the temperature of the air. The height of the target is intuitively obvious, as we all realize we can see Calgary's skyline from way further away than 4.7 km.

As a proponent of fast charging convenience, the report that Samsung will increase the power of next year’s Galaxy S26 Ultra to 60W is music to my ears. The current 45W power level is already in a sweet spot, taking just under an hour to fully charge the phone. Still, that extra boost will undoubtedly come in handy when you need to bring the phone back from the brink quickly. More juice in fewer minutes is always welcome when you’re in a hurry.
