Samsung’s Project Moohan headset has a new launch date, but what about tri-fold?

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung will reportedly launch its Project Moohan headset on October 21. This will apparently be an online launch, but there’s no word on geographical availability. Samsung’s “tri-fold” device will reportedly launch at a separate event. Samsung has been working on an Android XR headset, codenamed Project Moohan, in partnership with Google for a while now. We’ve previously heard launch date rumors, but a reliable outlet has now revealed a different date.

Nothing Ear 3 scores sweet audio upgrades but double-duty case is the low-key star

The case is constructed from recycled aluminum and features dual microphones, enabling it to function as a standalone microphone.

Nothing’s Ear 3 buds have a walkie-talkie style ‘super mic’

Nothing has unveiled its latest premium earbuds, the Ear 3 ($179), which look ready to pair tastefully with its newest Phone 3. The company has refined its headphone series with an aluminum finish (in places) across both the buds and the case. Also housed inside the case is the Ear 3’s new standout feature/gimmick: the Super Mic. It’s like a walkie-talkie for your wireless headphones, pitched as a noise-banishing mic option — but I’ll get to that later. A slightly revamped design apparently gi

A Cooking Instructor Reveals 5 Foods You Should Never Put in a Nonstick Pan

Nonstick cookware serves a purpose in the kitchen, but it shouldn't be your go-to pan for every task. When used incorrectly, nonstick surfaces can ruin dishes by preventing proper browning and searing of meats and vegetables. Certain foods can also compromise the coating, reducing the pan's durability and potentially contaminating your meals with flaking nonstick material. As much as we love the easy cleanup, most foods fare better in a stainless-steel, carbon-steel, or cast-iron skillet. I tur

Bumble BFF’s revamped app is here, focusing on friend groups and community building

With friendship apps continuing to gain popularity, Bumble announced on Wednesday the relaunch of its Bumble For Friends (BFF) app. With younger generations seeking to expand their social circles, the revamped app aims to help users connect with new friends beyond the traditional one-on-one matching that BFF has been known for. The app is built on Geneva, the community-focused social platform Bumble acquired last year. This also means that the Geneva app will be shutting down. The move should

Not even your kitchen is safe from ads after Samsung’s new update for its refrigerators (Updated)

iOS 26 can notify you when your AirPods case is running out of battery

Your AirPods and AirPods Pro are getting even better with iOS 26. As well as new features like camera remote and sleep detection to pause media, Apple is also improving the charging experience.

Meta's Oakley Vanguard Sports Glasses Tried to Turn Me Into Xtreme Sports Guy

Jogging on a treadmill in jeans at Meta's Menlo Park campus when it's nearly 80 degrees isn't my idea of a good time. But I was curious what Meta's new wraparound smart shades, and a Garmin sports watch, would do for me. I couldn't see workout stats floating in front of my eyes, not yet at least, but I could ask for my heart rate on demand. AirPods can do that, too. But AirPods can't record my POV exercise highlight video with overlaid stats for showing off later. The new Meta Oakley Vanguard

Robots Could Help Kids Become Better Readers, According to a New Study

Learning to read is difficult, and reading aloud is anxiety inducing for plenty of kids. From not being able to pronounce a word, to being mocked by their peers for stumbling while speaking, reading out loud can cause anxiety and make kids less likely to want to read. The University of Chicago, University of Illinois Chicago and University of Wisconsin-Madison have released a new study that shows there may be an unlikely ally that can help. Social robots may be the key in helping kids build conf

After child’s trauma, chatbot maker allegedly forced mom to arbitration for $100 payout

Deeply troubled parents spoke to senators Tuesday, sounding alarms about chatbot harms after kids became addicted to companion bots that encouraged self-harm, suicide, and violence. While the hearing was focused on documenting the most urgent child-safety concerns with chatbots, parents' testimony serves as perhaps the most thorough guidance yet on warning signs for other families, as many popular companion bots targeted in lawsuits, including ChatGPT, remain accessible to kids.

Airbuds is the music social network Apple and Spotify wish they had built

4 Things You Should Never Cook in a Nonstick Pan, According to an Expert

Nonstick cookware has its place in the kitchen, but its limitations should keep it from being your everyday pan. Nonstick cookware can tank a recipe when misused, leaving meat and vegetables without a proper sear. Some foods can damage the surface of your nonstick skillet, leading to a shorter lifespan or the release of nonstick materials into your food.

CrowdStrike Infested With "Self-Replicating Worms"

A year after a glitch at cybersecurity company CrowdStrike triggered a global computer outage affecting millions of computers, the software vendor is being forced to contain a new threat: a swarm of self-replicating worms. As first reported by investigative cybersecurity journalist Brian Krebs, CrowdStrike once again became the launchpad for a potentially debilitating security hazard when some 25 code packages were compromised by a novel strand of malware. Dubbed "Shai-Hulud," the malicious so

Micro-LEDs boost random number generation

Miniature LEDs called micro-LEDs have been shown to generate random numbers at gigabit-per-second speeds by a team of researchers from Saudi Arabia and the United States[1]. The generation of random numbers is vital for many tasks, including data security — where it is used to create encryption keys and passwords — and computer simulations of complex systems such as the weather and financial markets. There is, therefore, a strong demand to develop cost-effective random number generators that a

Implicit ODE solvers are not universally more robust than explicit ODE solvers

A very common adage in ODE solvers is that if you run into trouble with an explicit method, usually some explicit Runge-Kutta method like RK4, then you should try an implicit method. Implicit methods, because they are doing more work, solving an implicit system via a Newton method having “better” stability, should be the thing you go to on the “hard” problems. This is at least what I heard at first, and then I learned about edge cases. Specifically, you hear people say “but for hyperbolic PDEs
