arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-11 09:52:42

During what's supposed to be a year of redemption, Sonos has announced that its gadgets will become more expensive this year, complicating the company's comeback plans. Tariffs that US President Donald Trump announced last week take effect today, including a 19 percent tariff on goods imported from Malaysia (the levy is said not to apply to semiconductors and was cut down from a 25 percent tariff that Trump threatened in July.) Among other countries affected is Vietnam, which now sees a 20 perc

Is the Xperia line dead? Sony clarifies the future of its smartphones

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-11 14:15:31

It’s no secret that Sony Xperia smartphones aren’t the best-selling phones, nor are they the top choice for Android flagships . Sony built a loyal niche of fans who buy its Xperia phones, but the market beyond them doesn’t pick up on the phones with as much enthusiasm. When the company’s latest flagship, the Xperia 1 VII, began dying and disappearing across markets , many presumed that the end was near for Sony’s Xperia line of phones.

Google Keep is one of those apps that doesn’t change too often, but when it does, the updates are usually worth the wait. Now, Google appears to be rolling out a long-anticipated sorting feature to its Android app, giving some users a much easier way to organize their notes. A user on X ( @BlindMan199 ) first tipped us off that the new sort option had appeared, and we were able to verify that it’s available on at least one of our devices, though not all of them.

The most obvious question is “Why?” Framework builds modular , repairable laptops that anyone can take apart and put back together again. It’s a big deal in an era where laptops are regularly sold as a single unit that, should one part break, goes in the trash. Since every part of a Framework machine can be swapped out, you can keep one going for as long as your patience, and the supply of spare parts, allows.
