As soon as the genetic testing company 23andMe filed for bankruptcy on March 23, 2025, concerns about what would happen to the personal information contained in its massive genetic and health information database were swift and widespread. A few days after, a U.S. judge ruled that the company could sell its consumer data as part of the bankruptcy.

Want to try something new? How about the Nothing Phone (3a) or Phone (3a) Pro? They are two affordable Android devices, with light-up LEDs on the back and a see-through chassis. They make chirping noises that sound like Tamagotchi, and the software they ship with has a bit of flair. All this at under a $500 starting point. But is it a deal when the Google Pixel 9a is about to launch with slightly better specifications for only a bit more cash? It depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re tr

I think they’re the best phones the company has put out in its short history, and I believe they are well worth the price of admission.
