They're white. They're gold. They're very round. They make me look sort of like a guy who should be on a boat. Meta's next designer line of smart glasses has arrived. Meta Ray-Bans have been around for years, but the new line of Oakley HSTN glasses arriving this summer adds another, sportier style option. They also promise boosts over the Ray-Bans, both in battery life and video-recording resolution. How would they look on my face, though? I finally got an answer when I tried out a pair of the

Nothing Phone 3 teardown reveals the guts of the year’s oddest-looking smartphone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-22 08:09:30

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The latest JerryRigEverything teardown looks into the durability and reparability of the Nothing Phone 3. Scratch resistance is nothing to write home about, but the phone withstands bending quite well. Getting the rear glass off looks a little challenging, but past that, disassembly goes quite smoothly. For all the complaints we tend to hear about modern phones not offering nearly enough variety, so far this year has brought us some pleasantly anomalo

China’s Wild World of AR Glasses Has Me Convinced Meta Is Cooked

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-07-23 16:46:18

I know I’ve said it 1,000 times, but AR glasses are hot right now, and arguably no one is more on fire than China. While the U.S. is patiently waiting for Meta to release anything even resembling its prototype AR glasses, Orion, China seems to be making strides day by day. The latest example? These glasses with full-color optical waveguide lenses and 900 nits of brightness from a Chinese company called Wigain. In plain speak, they’re full-color AR glasses with enough brightness to actually use o

Ad Blockers for Real Life Are Now a Thing, Thanks to AR Glasses

I don’t know much about you, dear reader, but I can probably guess one thing: you don’t like watching advertisements (shut up, ad lovers; no one’s talking to you). If you’re one of the many, many ad-averse, you probably have an ad blocker installed on your devices, which is great when you’re staring into the void of life’s many glowing rectangles as one does every day for the rest of their lives.

Could smart goggles bridge the gap between Vision Pro and Apple Glasses?

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-07-26 04:04:11

It’s widely acknowledged that while Apple is happy for any Vision Pro sales it can get, the primary purpose of the existing headset is to let the company take a first step in the journey towards an Apple Glasses product. But while a cheaper Apple Vision still seems to be a couple of years away, along with the company’s equivalent of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, we are now seeing the potential emergence of smart goggles as an interim device – with TikTok entering the fray … Vision Pro is just a

These ‘4K-Like’ AR Glasses Are Actually Only 1080p, but I Want Them All the Same

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-07-28 16:00:27

When it comes to gadget specs, it’s best to be precise. For example, if you were buying a TV, you may want to know the resolution, and if you showed up to Best Buy and the tag on your brand-spanking-new Sony said “kind of, sort of, 4K,” you’d probably have some questions. Same goes for AR glasses, in my opinion, but that didn’t stop Viture from slapping “4K-like” branding on all of its new frames. It also doesn’t stop me from wanting them all the same.

Meta made some pretty major moves in AI this week, and some of them were supremely expensive. According to Bloomberg, Meta spent a whopping $200 million trying to poach just one person from Apple (Ruoming Pang, the former lead in charge of developing the large language models behind Apple Intelligence), and that’s just one person it scooped up in its flurry of AI talent acquisitions—there are several others from OpenAI that also jumped ship just this week.

Evidence of a 12,800-year-old shallow airburst depression in Louisiana

news.ycombinator.com Fitzenreiter 2025-08-12 19:55:53

Introduction Cosmic airbursts and impacts produce a wide range of surface effects, with high-altitude airbursts, such as the 1908 Tunguska event, primarily generating blast damage without forming craters [1]. In contrast, low-altitude “touch-down” airbursts may induce surface melting, spherule formation, shocked quartz, and shallow cratering [2]. Due to preservation challenges, few airburst signatures are documented in the geologic record, limiting our understanding of these events. Here, we rep
