Meta Says ‘Big Wearable’ News Is Coming, but There’s Only One Thing I Want to Know

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-12-01 03:25:42

Meta has been on a pretty serious campaign to prove it’s at the cutting edge of consumer tech, and AI isn’t the only target on the board. AR/XR has also clearly been a priority if the last few weeks are any indication (see this paper in Nature about its wristband tech and drips on groundbreaking VR research for proof), and its vision on that front is starting to actually take shape. According to Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth, the company’s annual Connect conference in September, where it showcases t

How Does an Electric Bicycle Work? (2025)

wired.com Stephanie Pearson 2025-11-30 21:00:00

An electric bicycle—it's a regular bicycle, but with a motor on it! There are enough moving pieces on these personal mobility vehicles to make buying one confusing. Even if you're pretty sure you know what an electric bicycle is—and that you're not, riding, say, an electric motorcycle from a dealership—the technology changes almost daily. Over the past 10 years, battery capacity has increased by around 50 percent, according to Joe Buckley, the e-mountain bike product manager at Specialized. In

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-12-01 08:00:51

Honda Is Giving Up on the All-Electric Dream

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-12-02 03:15:49

Honda just dealt a huge blow to the all-electric dream. In a stunning reversal, the Japanese auto giant has announced it is rethinking its electrification strategy, signaling that battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) are no longer the holy grail of its future. The move is a major setback for the EV industry, which is already reeling from the September 30 expiration of federal tax credits that made electric cars competitive with their gas-powered counterparts. For years, the auto industry, mesmerize

OnePlus Buds 4 vs. Nothing Ear: Which Pair of Wireless Earbuds Wins?

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-12-02 12:00:23

There are so many wireless earbuds. No, for real. As someone who tests out earbuds on a very regular basis, I can tell you firsthand just how crowded the market is. That’s fine if you’re easy and just want a pair of AirPods, but for anyone who wants to dig deeper into what’s out there—whether for design or compatibility reasons—a crowded field makes research a nightmare. And that research headache doubles when two pairs of earbuds are similarly priced. Luckily, as someone who has used entirely

States and cities decimated SROs, Americans' lowest-cost housing option

Overview Low-cost micro-units, often called single-room occupancies, or SROs, were once a reliable form of housing for the United States’ poorest residents of, and newcomers to, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and many other major U.S. cities. Well into the 20th century, SROs were the least expensive option on the housing market, providing a small room with a shared bathroom and sometimes a shared kitchen for a price that is unimaginable today—as little as $100 to $300 a month (in 2025 dollar

Just days after releasing macOS 15.6, Apple is now rolling out release candidate versions of macOS 15.7, as well as macOS 14.8. This suggests that the official updates could come sooner than expected.
