My favorite Microsoft Office alternative just got a huge AI upgrade - for free

OnlyOffice / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET OnlyOffice Desktop Editors might not be on your radar. You might assume there are only three major players in the office suite space: Office 365, Google Docs, and LibreOffice. However, there is another tool that I find to be as good (and even better in some ways) as the competition. That tool is OnlyOffice.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro for $250 off is my favorite Prime Day phone deal - and it's not even close

Adam Breeden/ZDNET The Google Pixel 9 Pro is currently marked down to $749 at Amazon during its Prime Day sale, a $250 discount from retail price. Last year, I was emphatic that my time with Pixel phones was over because Google had announced it was planning to inject even more AI "goodness" into Android. I saw that as an opportunity to jump ship. My goal was to buy the Nothing Phone 3. Then, as fate would have it, Nothing CEO Carl Pei announced that his company was going all-in on AI, and the

Can an email go 500 miles in 2025?

Once upon a time, there was a university president who couldn’t send an email more than 500 miles, and the wise sysadmin said that’s not possible, so the president said come to my office, and lo and behold, the emails stopped before going 500 miles. Has technology improved? Can we send an email farther than 500 miles in 2025? There’s a lot to the story that’s obviously made up, but if we fix the details so that it can happen, we can reproduce it. connect We need some code to do a nonblocking

Beats Studio Pro Headphones Are Dirt Cheap, Amazon Wants to Get Rid of Them at Prime Day

There are more than enough wireless headphones with active noise cancellation (ANC) available on the market but they are not all created equal or as comfortable. Even within the same brand, there will be various models available to suit different needs and price points, as with Beats’ Solo 4 and Studio Pro headphones. If you would prefer a premium model at a ridiculously low cost, Amazon is making it happen with the Beats Studio Pro during this Prime Day sale. This deal is exclusive to Prime me

iPhone 17e said to launch next spring, with identical display to 16e

A new supply-chain report suggests that the iPhone 17e will launch next spring, which is in line with previous reporting. It doesn’t sound like the upcoming model will be a major update, with today’s report indicating that it will use the exact same display as the iPhone 16e … This display was itself repurposed from the iPhone 14. One big question when Apple replaced the iPhone SE with the iPhone 16e was whether the new naming scheme pointed to an annual update. The SE had been updated at ran

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Three things are certain when July comes along: backyard barbecues, late-night fireworks, and Samsung Unpacked.

Why I recommend this OnePlus flagship phone over the S25 Ultra - especially at $120 off

ZDNET's key takeaways The OnePlus 13 is a snappy, nearly no-compromise phone that typically starts at $899. A Snapdragon 8 Elite, paired with a 6,000mAh battery and 80W fast charging, is a recipe for endurance success. IP69 is almost excessive, but you'll appreciate it when least expected.

James Gunn Has a Simple Update on the ‘Batman, Part II’ Script

Michael Douglas probably won’t return to the MCU (or to much acting, at all). AMC’s axed sci-fi comedy Demascus has been rescued by Tubi. Plus, Noah Hawley knows where Alien: Earth is all leading to. Spoilers, away! The MCU During his recent appearance at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival (via Variety), Michael Douglas confirmed he’s semi-retired from acting and will not likely return as Hank Pym in the MCU.

I'm Testing the Nothing Phone 3 and There's One Surprise Feature I Love So Far

I've been testing the Nothing Phone 3 since it was unveiled at an event in London last week. I still like the quirky design, with its transparent back and the Glyph Matrix rear display. It's too early for a full verdict on its processor performance or battery life, but there is one stand-out feature I've noticed that I particularly wanted to highlight. The camera's macro mode. Putting the Nothing Phone 3's macro mode to work. Andrew Lanxon/CNET It's a niche feature to focus on, especially as N

Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2: Bowers & Wilkins released the PX7 S2 headphones in 2022 with some significant improvements over the first-generation version.That was followed by a slightly upgraded version, the PX7 S2e ($400), with the "e" standing for evolved. The audio quality has been slightly upgraded thanks to improved digital processing (the headphones have been retuned), which we assume involves an upgraded chip. You may see this model nicely discounted because Bowers & Wilkins has released the

Nothing Phone (3) Review: The Designer Phone

I like staring at the Nothing Phone (3). It isn't inherently better than comparably priced smartphones, but it's visually distinct, and let's be honest, a little weird. But weird is good. Phones are fantastic these days, whether you spend $300 or $1,300. When they can all generally do what we expect, aesthetics come to the forefront. From the red recording light on the back of this $799 Android phone to the quirky pedometer widget that tracks your steps via a stick figure, the Phone (3) feels f

Nothing Phone (3) review

Carl Pei led electronics manufacturer OnePlus from being a scrappy brand for tech enthusiasts offering affordable phones to one that produces multiple lines of devices, including flagship phones that challenge Samsung and Apple. He is running a similar playbook with Nothing, a five-year-old, venture-backed hardware startup that just launched its most ambitious device, the Phone (3), earlier this month. The phone, priced at $799, is intended to compete with devices from Samsung and Apple. While

The Download: hunting an asteroid, and unlocking the human mind

If you were told that the odds of something were 3.1%, it might not seem like much. But for the people charged with protecting our planet, it was huge. On February 18, astronomers determined that a 130- to 300-foot-long asteroid had a 3.1% chance of crashing into Earth in 2032. Never had an asteroid of such dangerous dimensions stood such a high chance of striking the planet. Then, just days later on February 24, experts declared that the danger had passed. Earth would be spared. How did t
