This $12 accessory gave my Chromecast with Google TV a new lease on life

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-20 13:00:33

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority It’s safe to say that the Chromecast with Google TV is a basic Android streaming device. It packs exactly one USB-C port used for powering the device and an HDMI tongue to output video — that’s it. This design, while perfect for travel and keeping cable mess to a minimum, is rubbish for those who perhaps want a little more functionality. I wasn’t looking for everything and the kitchen sink when I purchased my Chromecast with Google TV, but rather a compact p

Farsighted? These Eye Drops Could Eventually Replace Your Reading Glasses

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-09-22 01:50:18

If you haven’t yet experienced it yourself, you’ve certainly seen older family members start to hold smartphones and restaurant menus up to their noses, squinting at the small text. That’s because as we age, we all develop presbyopia, or age-related farsightedness—trouble focusing on close objects or text. That’s where surgery or reading glasses usually come in, but new research suggests there could be another option. Researchers have demonstrated that after taking special eye drops two or thre

The iPhone 17 just made USB-C charging even more of a nightmare

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-22 12:00:00

USB-C is an unfixable mess, that I’m convinced of, but a small part of me saw light at the end of the tunnel — that was until Apple launched the iPhone 17 series. With Apple’s latest phones, it’s now even harder for consumers to find the perfect plug to optimally fast-charge all their gadgets at once. Allow me to explain why. The good news, as it were, is that the iPhone 17 series claims “up to 50% charge in 20 minutes” with Apple’s new 40W Dynamic Power Adapter. That’s still not super fast, bu

California’s state senate gave final approval early on Saturday morning to a major AI safety bill setting new transparency requirements on large companies. As described by its author, state senator Scott Wiener, SB 53 “requires large AI labs to be transparent about their safety protocols, creates whistleblower protections for [employees] at AI labs & creates a public cloud to expand compute access (CalCompute).” The bill now goes to California Governor Gavin Newsom to sign or veto.

Apple found clever iPhone Air innovation for a thinner USB-C port

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-09-28 21:42:48

Last year when rumors started swirling around Apple’s plans for an ultra-thin new iPhone, one limitation on thinness was expected to be the USB-C charging port. But it turns out, Apple had a clever solution to make iPhone Air’s USB-C port unusually thin: 3D-printed titanium. iPhone Air uses 3D-printed titanium USB-C port that’s thinner and stronger Last year, Apple shipped its thinnest product of all time with the M4 iPad Pro.

Status Audio Pro X Review: The Best High-End Earbuds?

Never heard of Status Audio? I don’t blame you. The New York City-based company has been essentially operating under the radar ever since founder James Bertuzzi launched its first product, the wired CB-1 headphones, in 2016. Several wireless headphones followed, and Status eventually created two wireless earbuds, the Between Pro ($169) in 2021 and Between 3ANC ($249) in 2023. They were both well received and proved popular with buyers, perhaps helped by their quirky yet super-comfy square shape

Apple’s new MagSafe Battery doesn’t just work with iPhone Air

As rumored, Apple brought back its MagSafe Battery, but the only iPhone it works with is the new iPhone Air. However, Apple says it does have another feature that could come in handy. The new iPhone Air MagSafe Battery is meant to extend its battery life by 65%, which Apple says amounts to longer than any other iPhone.
