Smart earrings and necklaces? Samsung is looking into new types of wearables

Jonathan Feist / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is actively looking into new types of wearable devices. This includes earrings, necklaces, bracelets, pendants, and so on. Whatever the company lands on is expected to be a companion device to your phone, rather than a standalone product. Samsung already offers a long list of products in its mobile portfolio, including smartphones, tablets, and more. Still, the company is looking for ways to expand its mobile offerings. To that end, the compan

Bitcoin surpasses $118K, its second all-time high in less than 24 hours

Bitcoin achieved a new all-time high of $118,900 on Friday after exceeding its previous record, $113,822, on Thursday. At the time of this writing, Bitcoin’s price stands at around $117,400.

Feature Request: Three advanced features I’d like to see added to HomeKit

HomeKit dramatically improved the user-friendliness of both configuring and controlling smart homes, by allowing everything to be done though a single app. But while the Home app was a fantastic breakthrough for its time, technology has moved on, and I think Apple needs to respond. Here are three advanced features I’d like to see in the AI age … Natural-language programming Even with HomeKit, setting up scenes and automations is still a relatively techy activity. You need to have the kind of

The ChompSaw: A benchtop power tool that's safe for kids to use

Of all freestanding power tools, perhaps the jigsaw or scrollsaw would be the most fun for kids to use, as they allow freeform cuts. They're also pretty darn dangerous, with the jigsaw being powerful enough to remove fingers. A much safer way to introduce kids to power tools is this ChompSaw, developed by product designers Kausi Raman and Max Liechty. The material it's designed to cut is cardboard, allowing parents to turn Amazon boxes into projects. The tool is essentially a nibbler, using an

RFK Jr. may be about to demolish preventive health panel, health groups fear

“Worrying” With the latest cancellation, experts fear the USPSTF is next. "This is very worrying, because if past is prologue, it may suggest that they are preparing to eliminate or emasculate the committee,” Peter Lurie, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, told The New York Times. Such concerns were first raised after a June 27 US Supreme Court ruling that upheld the provision in the Affordable Care Act that requires health plans to cover USPSTF A- and B-grade

Lamborghini follows successful racing Huracan with new Temerario GT3

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is currently taking place in the UK; the event is part garden party, part hill climb, and plenty of auto show as car makers small and large unveil their vehicle du jour. Among those whipping satin covers off new machinery was Lamborghini. It's replacing the venerable Huracan and its howling naturally aspirated V10 engine with the plug-in hybrid Temerario, another wedge-shaped all-wheel drive mid-engined supercar, now with even more power. The road-going car has bee

Samsung could take inspiration from iOS’s Live Voicemail and Pixel Call Screen (APK teardown)

Apple TL;DR Samsung is working on an on-device voicemail feature similar to iOS’s Live Voicemail. This feature would allow calls to be screened and corresponding voice messages to be stored directly on the device. Unlike Apple’s version, Samsung’s will let users customize ring time before redirecting a call, but lacks transcription functionality, at least for now. The feature was spotted within One UI 8 beta code and may initially be rolled out only in select regions. With iOS 17, Apple intr

[Open Thread] Google bought Android 20 years ago, did it make it better or worse?

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority It’s been 20 years to the day since Google made what you might consider its “best deal ever” by acquiring a small, unknown startup called Android, Inc. The founders, Andy Rubin and Chris White, had first set out to build an operating system for digital cameras, but when they failed to attract investors in 2004, they pivoted to creating a mobile operating system, and went pitching their new project looking for investor support. Google’s Larry Page saw the signs

6 free Android apps I use to learn something new every day

Megan Ellis / Android Authority I’ve had a lifelong love of learning, to the point where I used to read encyclopedias and dictionaries as a child, along with a variety of non-fiction books around specific topics.

I do not want to reveal too many of
