What Makes Cheap Earbuds a Real Value (or Not)? I Dug In to Find Out

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-07-21 16:00:13

A few months ago, Final Audio, a boutique Japanese brand, sent me its new, relatively low-priced ZE3000 SV noise-canceling earbuds to test. I was curious: Would this be a hidden gem among the dozens, even hundreds, of budget headphone options out there? Even as a full-time reviewer of these products, I can't keep up with all of them. So I did what I always do. I charged them up, then swapped out the default medium-size tips for the largest set of included ear tips and hoped I'd get a tight seal

Walking every street in New York City

news.ycombinator.com Matt Green 2025-07-30 03:49:11

Today I walked my final blocks of Staten Island, the only borough I had left to complete. I was quite surprised to find the sign below waiting for me at the finish line, 4300 Amboy Road, which was the randomly selected point where I started the walk back on the last day of 2011. After spending 12+ years reading every dinky little plaque or marker I found across the city, I became genuinely emotional when I saw my own name on one of them. I'll need to finalize a number of recent walks

All eyes on Samsung’s thin new foldable

theverge.com Jacob Kastrenakes 2025-07-30 17:15:00

It’s always felt to me like there’s a threshold foldables need to hit before they can truly become mainstream: they need to be no bigger than a regular old phone. And now Samsung has finally gotten its flagship there with the Z Fold 7, which is just barely thicker than an iPhone 16 Pro. I got to see one in the office this week, and I couldn’t take my eyes off of it. It really does feel different.

Exploring the Complexity of Distributed Consensus Algorithms in Blockchain

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2025-08-04 04:00:45

Consensus in blockchain isn’t just a technical problem—it’s an intellectual minefield. You’ve got decentralized nodes spread across the globe, each operating under different assumptions, with varying latencies, incentives, and potential motivations, and yet they’re all expected to come to the same conclusion about the state of a distributed ledger. No central authority, no fallback mechanisms, no easy resets. Just code, cryptography, and coordination dancing on the edge of chaos. It’s beautiful

Michael Douglas probably won’t return to the MCU (or to much acting, at all). AMC’s axed sci-fi comedy Demascus has been rescued by Tubi. Plus, Noah Hawley knows where Alien: Earth is all leading to. Spoilers, away! The MCU During his recent appearance at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival (via Variety), Michael Douglas confirmed he’s semi-retired from acting and will not likely return as Hank Pym in the MCU.

The Opening of ‘Final Fantasy IX’ Is a Love Letter to Fantasy Itself

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-08-07 21:15:34

Final Fantasy games are known for their big, bombastic openings. Final Fantasy VII‘s legendary bombing mission, the brainwashed Terra being sent through the snowy paths into Narshe in Final Fantasy VI, the destruction of Zanarkand in Final Fantasy X—these are grand set pieces with high stakes, introducing threats and conflicts central to their epic narratives. They are big and loud, meant to immediately hook you into a journey that will last dozens upon dozens (upon dozens) of hours. They’re al

BBC Apologizes for Accidentally Spoiling ‘Doctor Who’ Finale in News Report

The BBC’s apology for posting about that shocking Doctor Who finale reveal before the whole world got a chance to watch comes a little too late. For many, the spoiler was prominently featured online as soon as Ncuti Gatwa took his bow and regenerated into the franchise’s favorite companion, Rose Tyler, played by Billie Piper. Was she some sort of Rose variant, the role she originated in the series, meant to wrap things up with the David Tennant 14th Doctor running around? We don’t yet know. How

Chrome on Android is finally making a long-awaited UI change over a year after iOS

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-28 17:00:13

TL;DR A browser with its address bar at the bottom of the screen is a desirable layout for mobile devices. Chrome on iOS got this option back in 2023, but has so far lacked it on Android. Today, Google finally starts giving Android users the choice, as well. Smartphones may be pocket-sized computers, but there are a million and one good reasons why we wouldn’t want to use the same exact apps we do on our full-sized machines. Just the very fact that we’re interacting through a touchscreen mean

Tesla’s robotaxi reality check

After years of grand promises about how robotaxis would change the way we buy and use our cars, Tesla finally launched its taxi service. In one small portion of one city. With only a few cars and a few riders. Plus safety monitors in the passenger seat. Caution is a good thing in this industry, but what does all this say about where Tesla’s self-driving efforts really stand?

Christopher Eccleston’s ‘Doctor Who’ Regeneration Remains One of the Show’s Best

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-09-05 01:00:53

Twenty years ago this week, the first season of the revived era of Doctor Who came to an end with “The Parting of the Ways,” as did the tenure of Christopher Eccleston’s Ninth Doctor. Ready to sacrifice it all to stop the Daleks, the Ninth Doctor’s final moments remain a vital moment in Doctor Who history. It was the first time in decades since Doctor Who had asked its audience to trust in the magic of the series’ defining trick to survival and re-invention: the magic of regeneration itself. Ec

Magic: The Gathering‘s new Final Fantasy set is an absolute love letter to the beloved RPG series, with hundreds of cards making a flavorful nod to their source material in one way or another.

News that the Prime Video adaptation would get a third and final season came in December 2023; the following year, production was reportedly paused amid the allegations against showrunner and source material co-author Neil Gaiman.
