Yamaha YH-L500A Review: Extremely Comfortable Headphones

Yamaha has a stellar reputation for many of its audio products, especially those in the home hi-fi category. When it comes to wireless headphones, the company seems to struggle. While generally well-received for their sound quality, there’s often a gotcha or two that keep them from being top picks. These are areas where similarly priced competitors are notably further ahead, like active noise cancellation or where Yamaha’s design gets in the way (like long-term comfort). For a good example of wh

MAHA Wants Action on Pesticides. It’s Not Going to Get It From Trump’s Corporate-Friendly EPA

When Jean-Marie Kauth first read the Make America Healthy Again commission report, released by the White House in May, she was “thrilled about some of the things they identified,” she says. “They clearly called out industry as a pernicious influence on why EPA has not been very successful in regulating chemicals, especially pesticides.” Kauth’s daughter died of leukemia at age 8 after, Kauth says, she was exposed to the insecticide chlorpyrifos, which the EPA banned in 2021. (That ban was overt

When Starship Comes to Florida, Expect 2-Hour Flight Delays, FAA Warns

SpaceX aims to expand its Starship operations to Cape Canaveral, Florida, with a goal of launching 44 super heavy-lift rockets per year. If regulators approve this plan, the uptick in launch activity could result in more ground stops, reroutes, and flight delays at major airports throughout the Sunshine State, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. In a draft environmental impact statement released this month, the FAA states that airports such as Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood Internation

Yamaha’s New Soundbar Has More Up-Firing Dolby Atmos Speakers Than There Are ‘Fast and Furious’ Movies

Sometimes more is better. Case in point: money. I could really use more money, and if you gave me more money, I’d be happy about that—I think most would agree with that sentiment, and if you don’t, I have a favor to ask. Speakers, like money, are also a thing you may want more of, and while they’re not as important as money, they’re important for your ears, and Yamaha is here to take your money in exchange for satisfying your ears in a very maximalist way. Yamaha’s True X Surround 90A soundbar

Should Lyft and Uber Charge More if Your Battery Is Low? California May Soon Ban That

It’s late at night, and you badly need a ride. Your cellphone’s battery is dangerously low. Should a ridehailing company such as Uber or Lyft be able to charge you more because its artificial intelligence programming thinks you’re desperate since it knows your phone is about to die? Not if Hayward Democratic Sen. Aisha Wahab has her way. Her Senate Bill 259 would prevent retailers from using artificial intelligence to jack up prices using the information stored on customers’ phones. That coul

Life After the Atomic Blast, as Told by Hiroshima’s Survivors

THIS ARTICLE IS republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license. “I’m not sure if it was the effect of the atomic bomb, but I have always had a weak body, and when I was born, the doctor said I wouldn’t last more than three days.” These are the words of Kazumi Kuwahara, a third-generation hibakusha—a survivor of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan 80 years ago. Kuwahara, who still lives in Hiroshima, was in London on May 6 this year to give a speech at a V

Great Tits Sometimes Break Up, Bird Researchers Find

We’re talking about the birds. Great tits are small, yellowish songbirds common to the woodlands of Europe. Tit pairs are known to be monogamous during breeding season, splitting up after fully raising their offspring. But new research suggests that this “tit divorce” may be the product of complex social relationships formed during and after the breeding season. Published July 30 in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the paper reports that not all tit pairs separate in late summer when breedi

Lovense was told its sex toy app leaked users’ emails and didn’t fix it

is a news writer who covers the streaming wars, consumer tech, crypto, social media, and much more. Previously, she was a writer and editor at MUO. Lovense, the maker of internet-connected sex toys, left user emails exposed for months — even after it became aware of the vulnerability. In a blog post spotted by TechCrunch and Bleeping Computer, security researcher BobDaHacker found that they could “turn any username into their email address,” which they could then use to take over someone’s acco

Does Form Shape Function?

What links a Möbius strip, brain folds and termite mounds? The answer is Harvard University’s L. Mahadevan, whose career has been devoted to using mathematics and physics to explore the form and function of common phenomena. Mahadevan, or Maha to his friends and colleagues, has long been fascinated by questions one wouldn’t normally ask — from the equilibrium shape of inert objects like a Möbius strip, to the complex factors that drive biological systems like morphogenesis or social insect colo

Best Internet Providers in Omaha, Nebraska

What is the best internet provider in Omaha, Nebraska? Omaha isn't the best place when it comes to fiber options, but you can still get dependable and fairly decent internet speeds. That's why CNET recommends Cox Communications as the best internet service provider in Omaha. Cox was the only ISP in town for high-speed internet for a long time. But things have changed now. There are a few more solid options to check out for you and your family. When you're picking an internet provider, think ab

Honestly, I Don't Think You're Ready for This Old West Horror Flick on Netflix

If you were to ask my wife what type of movies I like, she'd tell you I'm a fanatic for horror flicks and Westerns. As is the case with being a busy dad, though, I never seem to find enough time in my schedule to kick back on the couch and enjoy either. How amazing would it be to queue up a double feature at home to feed my need for scares and outlaw justice? Very, is the answer. The reality of the situation, though, finds me sharing a house with a spouse who despises scary movies and a six-yea

I Wanted to Stream a Horror-Western, and Netflix Has the Best Movie That Does Both

When it comes to movies, my favorite genres are horror and Westerns. Yet, as a busy dad, there's never enough time in the day to sit and enjoy a film I want to watch. If I had it my way, I'd regularly plan double feature nights at home to get my fix of scares and cowboys. However, there's a six-year-old girl who lives under my roof, and my wife's tastes vastly differ from mine, so we keep it family friendly -- most of the time, anyway. Lo and behold, my birthday is approaching, and I am getting

I'm a Fiend for Horror and Westerns. Netflix Has One of the Best Genre Mashups Ever Made

Father's Day is coming up and, if you're like me, you're searching for the perfect movie to watch on the big day. Well, as a dad myself, I can easily find comfort in the tried and true classics like National Lampoon's Vacation, Once Upon a Time in America or even The Shawshank Redemption. There's no arguing that those titles are stereotypical "dad" movies. But I'm not a stereotypical dad. My cinematic tastes usually lead me down an alternate path. Yes, I love me a good western but I'm also a d

The Best Motherboards: AMD and Intel

With a little more budget, you can get some really nice boards for up around $200. From day one, a stand out which we featured in our early 10th-gen coverage is the MSI MAG Z490 Tomahawk, it's a great quality motherboard priced at $190. In our testing, the Z490 Tomahawk peaked at just 74 degrees running a Core i9-10900K clocked at 5.1 GHz using 1.35v, so you don't need to spend big money to get the most out of Intel's new 10-core processor, despite the fact that it is extremely power hungry when
