"Your" vs. "My" in user interfaces

“Your” vs “My” in user interfaces When referring to the user’s stuff, which is better out of these: “My account” or “Your account”? “My orders” or “Your orders”? “My cases” or “Your cases”? It’s a trick question because often you don’t need any prefix and can just use: Account Orders Cases Amazon is a good example of this in action because it’s obvious that it’s your account and your orders: But what if your product contains things that belong to you and to others – for example, a case

Apple launches new TechWoven material for iPhone 17 cases

After the disaster that was FineWoven two years ago, Apple is back again with another attempt to replace its leather cases with something more environmentally friendly than leather, and more stylish and premium than its base silicone range. The new TechWoven cases have a new fine-knit weave appearance. We’ll obviously have to wait for these cases to get into people’s hands to assess their durability. Apple says the TechWoven case is made from a custom technical fabric, using 100% recycled poly

The iPhone 17 Isn't Out Yet, but You Can Already Order a Case for It

Psychologist Says AI Is Causing Never-Before-Seen Types of Mental Disorder

Something keeps happening to people who get hooked chatbots like ChatGPT. Mental health professionals are calling it "AI psychosis": turning to the AI models for advice, users soon become entranced by the sycophantic machine's human-like responses. It becomes not just a tool but a companion — and the worst kind, constantly plying you with what you want to hear and validating anything you say, no matter how wrong or unbalanced. That leads to cases like a man who was repeatedly hospitalized after

I tested 15 cases for the Switch 2 and these are the best

You might find it kind of sad to put your hard-earned Switch 2 into a protective case. To me, it’s freeing. Using a case relieves me of the worry that it will accumulate tons of little scratches, or worse. I’ve tested several types of cases on the Nintendo Switch 2 since its June 2025 debut, including flimsy shells that snap or slide ont

At Least 2 People Died of ‘Flesh-Eating’ Bacteria After Eating Tainted Oysters

“Flesh-eating” bacteria are continuing to claim lives this summer. Louisiana health officials reported this week that two more people have died from Vibrio infections this month, potentially caused by eating tainted oysters. The Louisiana Department of Health announced the latest deaths during a meeting of the Louisiana Oyster Task Force held Tuesday. Both deaths are linked to oysters harvested in the state, but the oysters were eaten at separate restaurants in Louisiana and Florida. Louisiana

PopSockets PopCase Kindle Hands-On (2025): Easy Reading

If you're into accessories for your e-reader, then you probably already know about PopSockets. It's a popular grip attachment that's been around for years, originally designed for smartphones with a Kickstarter that launched back in 2012. That's still the PopGrips' main use, but plenty of people stick them on the back of a Kindle case to make their Kindle easier to hold. That used to require either a sticker or getting a magnetic adapter to get your PopSockets to stick to your Kindle or Kindle c

Horrifying screwworm infection confirmed in US traveler after overseas trip

Flesh-eating screwworm larvae poised to invade the US have snuck into Maryland via the flesh of a person who had recently traveled to El Salvador, upping anxiety about the ghastly—and economically costly—parasite. Reuters was first to report the case early Monday, quoting Andrew Nixon, spokesperson for the US Department of Health and Human Services, who said in an email that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had confirmed the case on August 4 in a person who had returned from a tri

I review phone cases, and these are the Google Pixel 10 cases I’d pick up at launch

The Google Pixel 10 family is finally here, and with it a fancy new totally-not-MagSafe feature called Pixelsnap and a minor design refresh. If you’re planning to upgrade, the bad news is that Pixel 9 cases are not compatible, so you’ll need to pick up a new one. The good news is that there are tons of great cases to choose from, especially if you want to take advantage of Pixelsnap. I’ve been reviewing cases for years here at Android Authority, and although the cases are still on their way for

Leaker shares alleged iPhone 17 TechWoven case colors

Credit: Majin Bu Leaker Majin Bu has been saying that Apple will ditch its failed FineWoven cases for TechWoven, “a new synthetic fabric with a more technical, less ‘luxury’ vibe.” Now, Bu has shared a few images that supposedly show the color lineup. Find them below. Five colors, two dings In an image shared on X, Bu showcased a lineup of five colors: orange, purple, green, blue, and gray. These are some of the same colors expected for the iPhone 17 lineup next month. New TechWoven Case Col

The West Texas measles outbreak has ended

A large measles outbreak in Texas that has affected 762 people has now ended, according to an announcement Monday by the Texas Department of State Health Services. The agency says it has been more than 42 days since a new case was reported in any of the counties that previously showed evidence of ongoing transmission. The outbreak has contributed to the worst year for measles cases in the United States in more than 30 years. As of August 5, the most recent update from the Centers for Disease Co

iPhone 17 Pro case line may have new leather alternative after flawed FineWoven

It’s been a while since Apple dropped leather and replaced it with FineWoven — only to mostly drop FineWoven over customer feedback. Now leaker Majin Bu says Apple has yet another leather alternative ready to go for the iPhone 17 case lineup. To recap, Apple stopped selling all leather products, including iPhone cases and Apple Watch bands, in an effort to be more eco-friendly and achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. The direct replacement for iPhone cases, Apple Watch bands, and even AirTag hold

Google’s official Pixel 10 cases just leaked, confirming a big upgrade

TL;DR Newly leaked images have given us a good look at Google’s first-party Pixel 10 cases. The cases resemble last year’s Pixel 9 versions, with the primary difference being the inclusion of built-in magnets. The case colors mimic those we expect for the Pixel 10 itself, including Indigo and Limoncello. The Google Pixel 10 series has already been leaked to death at this point, whether we’re talking design renders or detailed specs. With the phones fully leaked, the rumor mill has now turned

Russia reportedly implicated in hack on US federal courts' databases

Databases used by US federal courts for sharing and managing case documents have been hacked. Politico first reported on the hack last week on August 6; today, an investigation from The New York Times states that Russia is suspected to be involved in the attack. The Administrative Office of the US Courts initially identified the severity of the cyberattack in July, although the extent of the breach by "persistent and sophisticated cyber threat actors" has not been disclosed and may still not be

Woman Diagnosed with Malaria in Washington May Be State’s First Locally Acquired Case

The woman was diagnosed with malaria, a mosquito-borne illness caused by a parasite, on August 2, according to the officials.

A ‘Flesh-Eating’ Germ Is on the Rise This Summer

A bacterial infection that can cause “flesh-eating” disease is becoming a bigger problem in the U.S.—and climate change is at least partly to blame. Several states along the Gulf Coast and Eastern Seaboard have already reported a higher than usual tally of Vibrio vulnificus cases and deaths this summer. Last week, for instance, the Louisiana Department of Health issued a warning to residents over increased reports of V. vulnificus. Experts argue that milder winters and hotter summers are allowi

I tested 13 Switch 2 cases and these are the best

So, I wasted no time testing cases on the new Nintendo Switch 2, and it didn’t take long for me to find one that I think is the best. I tried several types of cases on the Switch 2. I tested flimsy shells that snap or slide onto the Switch 2 to provide a simple, aesthetically pleasing barrier from scratches
