The OnePlus Nord 5's Marble Design Is My Favorite Thing About This Phone

It's a little shallow that my favorite thing about the OnePlus Nord 5 -- and its cheaper sibling the Nord CE5 -- is the design on the back of the phone. But in a world where most budget-focused phones are identical gray slabs, it's refreshing to see something a bit different. The back of the Nord 5 has an unusual design that looks like marble. I don't know how OnePlus has done it, but the way that the material catches the light makes it look deeply three dimensional. Running your finger across

I Tried Signal, Telegram and WhatsApp, and This Is the One I'd Recommend

Key points: Most widely used messaging app Uses the same encryption protocol as Signal Collects heaps of your data Free, but owned and operated by Meta WhatsApp is the most popular private messaging app on this list, with about 2 billion monthly users, according to Exploding Topics. Because it's so popular, there's a higher chance that other people you might be chatting with have WhatsApp, and therefore your chats can be encrypted. And if the person you're chatting with doesn't have WhatsAp

As California faces court battles, states scramble to save their climate goals

China jumps ahead in the race to achieve a new kind of reuse in space

Two Chinese satellites have rendezvoused with one another more than 20,000 miles above the Earth in what analysts believe is the first high-altitude attempt at orbital refueling. China's Shijian-21 and Shijian-25 satellites, known as SJ-21 and SJ-25 for short, likely docked together in geosynchronous orbit some time last week. This is the conclusion of multiple civilian satellite trackers using open source imagery showing the two satellites coming together, then becoming indistinguishable as a

KEF Xio Review: So Good, So Expensive

There’s a level of confidence you have to admire in a brand entering a new market and out-pricing almost every single one of its competitors, straight from the off. That certainly appears to be KEF’s strategy with its very first soundbar, the KEF Xio—an all-in-one Atmos soundbar that will set you back a cool $2,500 (£2,000.) Of course, there’s the obvious: that’s enough to buy yourself a pretty decent surround sound package, with a performance that any soundbar will struggle to match. But if yo
