MagSafe Monday: Pelican’s MagSafe Wallet is rugged and perfect for fall hikes and everyday carry

As the weather cools down and fall hiking season ramps up, I always think about what gear makes sense to carry. A MagSafe wallet is one of those things that feels like it should be as versatile as your iPhone itself. The Pelican MagSafe Wallet & Card Holder is a perfect option when you want something rugged that can handle the outdoors but still works as an EDC. Some of my favorite gear eufyCam 2C Upgrade your home security with wireless cameras that includes HomeKit compatibility. MagSafe Mon

NotebookLM Can Now Make Flashcards and Quizzes to Help You Study

If it wasn't obvious that NotebookLM is shaping up to be the ultimate AI tool for school, it should be now. And Google has more to share for the fall season. On Monday, Google announced its latest NotebookLM features, including the option to generate flashcards, quizzes, new reports and more. Brand-new audio formats for the popular Audio Overviews feature were also released just last week. What sets NotebookLM apart from other AI tools is that it will only rely on the source material you provi

Dev says Switch 2’s physical Game Cards were too slow for Star Wars Outlaws port

A video shows how different storage media can affect Mario Kart World load times. CD Projekt Red VP of Technology Charles Tremblay has alluded to this same challenge when talking about the Switch 2 port of Cyberpunk 2077. In a June interview with IGN, Tremblay said the data transfer speeds enabled by MicroSD Express were "great," while streaming data from a Switch 2 Game Card was merely "okay." Tremblay did go on to say that "all the performance we have on [input/output] is very good on [the Sw

Spacing Over Cards

This post is a rationalisation of “I don’t like cards”. I say that in most cases where cards are used, they don’t need to be used. Specifically, they take space, they let you skip gestalt principles and be lazy and undisciplined, and being so easy to implement they are often used by developers. To multiply the effect, you can put a card into a card, and it seems so hard not to do so. We recognise patterns. This is known for quite some time, specifically Wertheimer in 1923 wrote the paper that e

‘Magic’ Weaves New Mechanics and Cards for Spider-Man Set

Less than a month out from Magic: The Gathering’s Spider-Man set, Wizards of the Coast has given it a full unveiling with reveals of more cards and gameplay mechanics for its crossover with Marvel’s webhead and friends. Wizards previously revealed a selection of cards at San Diego Comic-Con back in July. Like those, this new selection sports some amazing art from the company’s internal artists and creatives who’ve previously drawn Spider-Man over the character’s decades-long history, which is o

Google Phone app’s Calling Cards are now rolling out widely: Here’s what you need to know

AssembleDebug / Android Authority TL;DR • Google’s “Calling Cards” feature is now widely rolling out in v188 of the Phone app, allowing Android users to personalize incoming/outgoing call screens with full-screen photos and styling options. Calling Cards differs from Apple’s Contact Posters in that it gives you full control over how each contact appears on your device — you set one card per contact manually. Alongside Calling Cards, the updated app introduces major UI changes, including a new

Some Pixel owners are getting a more powerful At A Glance widget

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Some Pixel phone owners are seeing sports and finance cards in their At A Glance widget. The sports card shows soccer scores, but our previous leak also revealed support for cricket scores. The finance card seems to show stock information. Google’s At A Glance widget is a useful feature on Pixel phones. It displays the weather, calendar events, boarding passes, and more directly on your home screen. Now, it looks like the widget is picking up a couple of

iOS 26 adds the fix I’ve always wanted for accessing credit cards

Making payments on your iPhone is easy with Apple Pay. But what about those occasions when you need to input credit card details on a website or in a form? Not so easy. Fortunately, iOS 26 has the fix I’ve always wanted thanks to new AutoFill support for credit cards. The problem with accessing saved credit cards iOS 26 is packed with big updates for Apple Wallet, including a new feature that lets you manually save full credit card details for your Apple Pay cards. But Apple has long had a se

Tiny, removable "mini SSD" could eventually be a big deal for gaming handhelds

Earlier this year, Nintendo helped popularize the microSD Express standard by requiring it for the new Switch 2 console. Created in 2019, the specification had languished in relative obscurity for years because the cheap, plentiful non-Express microSD cards were generally fast enough for the things that people were using them for, and because most hardware didn't support microSD Express cards in the first place. However, Nintendo's console needed performance closer to that of an internal SSD to

PNY’s Overclocked RTX 5070 Ti Is Finally Selling at Retail

If you've been hunting for a new GPU, you already know that getting one for its suggested retail price isn't guaranteed. High demand, low supply, and a constantly shifting economic space have caused the new 50 Series graphics cards to hit the market well above the expected price, at least at launch. Thankfully, the situation seems to be stabilizing a bit, as indicated by this deal on PNY's overclocked example of the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, which is available on Amazon for its MSRP of $750. Even be

I love Google’s new Calling Cards feature. Here’s how to use it on your Android phone

Joe Maring / Android Authority In late July, Android Authority reported that Google was working on a new “Calling Cards” feature for its Contacts app. Yesterday, it began rolling out widely for everyone to use. When you receive a call on your Android phone, you see a standard incoming call screen with that person’s name, number, and profile picture. Calling Cards let you spruce this up a bit, allowing you to select a full-screen picture and stylized text to display for each of your contacts. I

Of Course the ‘Avatar’ Cabbage Guy Is Getting a ‘Magic’ Card

Edge of Eternities is barely out, and Spider-Man hasn’t even swung onto shelves yet, but that’s not stopped Wizards of the Coast from marching on into promoting the next next set coming to Magic: The Gathering—its “Universes Beyond” crossover with Avatar: The Last Airbender. Alongside previews of how the world of Avatar will work mechanically in the landscape of the game, our first extensive preview of what to expect in the set confirms the obvious: Cabbage Guy is getting his own Magic card.

Google is streamlining how you send money abroad — and getting new tools for spending it at home

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is improving visibility of Wallet’s international transfer tools by starting to surface them in Search. Buy-now-pay-later options are expanding from Google Pay to Chrome autofill. Chrome is starting to show reward details for a whole lot more credit cards. Google has long grown beyond being a simple search company, and at this point its interests are so vast and varied that it can be more than a little difficult to cleanly categorize it. Those

MagSafe Monday: SUPCASE MagFlip wallet is a tank that doubles as a stand

MagSafe wallets typically aim to be super thin. The SUPCASE MagFlip takes the opposite approach and loads itself up with features. It’s all about function first, so it ends up quite a bit thicker than the typical MagSafe wallet, but it’s extremely useful.

We Should Reject the Switch 2’s Bogus Game-Key Cards or This Will Be the End of Physical Games

On Sunday, Nintendo propped up a survey for players to share a few thoughts about how they prefer to play games on the Switch 2. By Tuesday, Nintendo pulled the survey, but not before the poll went viral and offered gamers a new outlet to let loose about the lack of Switch 2 games you can buy that come entirely on physical game cards. There’s a larger issue at play. The Switch 2 is an inflection point showing how the last few strands of actual game ownership are fraying. Nintendo’s most-dedicate

Content-Aware Spaced Repetition

Content-aware Spaced Repetition Spaced repetition systems are powerful, but they have a fundamental blind spot: they don’t understand what your flashcards are about. To your SRS, a card asking “what’s the capital of Italy?” and another asking “what country is Rome the capital of?” are treated independently, each with its own isolated review history. It has no concept that reviewing related material should reinforce your memory of the whole topic. At the heart of every SRS is a memory model wh

MagSafe Monday: This MagSafe wallet has a kickstand, RFID protection, and holds 6 cards

This wallet I’ve been testing from Supcase is one of the few I’ve found that supports six cards and still strikes a nice balance between slim and functional. It has a kickstand. It has strong magnets. It also doesn’t feel like I’ve strapped a brack to the back of my iPhone either.

Disney Lorcana's Newest Super Rare Card Gives Your Aliens a Big Boost

I’m lucky here at CNET to get an early look at some of the new Disney Lorcana cards -- and sometimes, I get to share them with you.

Fabled, or set nine, includes a lot of reprinted cards fr

What Is MicroSD Express? Everything You Need to Know

I got my Nintendo Switch 2, and my internal storage is already filling up with all my old games and saves! If you're in the same boat, you may have also noticed you can't just jam in the SD card from your original Switch and keep rocking. Instead, you'll need a new microSD Express card. This Express standard was introduced in late 2023, and it enables write speeds in the hundreds of megabytes, but until now the cards themselves were as rare as any devices that used the standard. As a result, th

Google Contacts Calling Cards sound more and more like iOS Contact Posters (APK teardown)

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR Google Contacts has been working on a new “Calling Cards” feature for a few versions now. Earlier analysis has suggested that this could function very similarly to iOS Contact Posters. New text strings and a promo image add further support to that interpretation. What is it they say about mobile operating systems? Good platforms copy, but great platforms steal? Android and iOS have definitely traded ideas more than a few times over the years, and just

If you've been holding out on upgrading or building a new gaming rig, it's time to start looking again.

Flipper Zero reading an NFC security key. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET After over a year of use, I love my Flipper Zero, and I'm still finding cool things to do with it.

You rifle through your purse or wallet to find it, only to realize you're holding up the line. Suddenly, a group of angry travelers is getting frustrated -- and that frustration is aimed squarely at you. The more frustrated you get, the less likely you are to find what you're looking for.
