Travelers to Europe will soon have their fingerprints and facial data captured and verified for entering and exiting EU countries, signaling the beginning of the end for passport stamping. The new system, which the EU is calling the EES (Entry/Exit System) will kick off on Oct. 12 and will be gradually phased in across checkpoints through April 9, 2026. By April 10 of next year, the EU hopes to do away with physical passport stamping in favor of a digital biometric system that it says will make

Best Travel Cameras (2025), Tested and Reviewed

wired.com Scott Gilbertson 2025-09-29 07:00:00

If you want a camera that has a capable zoom, shoots excellent RAW images and great 4K/30 fps video, and manages to fit in most pockets, the Sony RX100 VII is your best bet. The Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 24-200-mm F2.8-4.5 zoom lens allows a huge range of shots from something that's pocketable—this alone makes it a great travel camera. The 1-inch sensor produces 20.1-MP images (RAW or JPG or both) and while f/2.8 isn't the fastest aperture, it's enough to handle shooting indoors in moderate light. T

Poll: Have you ever traveled with your portable projector?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-24 11:00:37

If it feels like you’ve seen more ads for pocket-, backpack-, and even can-sized projectors lately, you’re not imagining it. Once a novelty, small form beamers are carving out a solid place in the mainstream market. Part of the appeal is obvious: today’s portable projectors aren’t the dim, clunky boxes you may remember from your school library. Brands are cranking out units with higher resolutions (even 4K), laser and LED light sources, and wireless smarts that make setup simple. Meanwhile, aut

Over the past couple of years, bad personal experiences with delays, testimonies from friends, and news or reactions to air travel incidents seem to have become much more common. It’s difficult to tell if these extra anecdotes reflect a change in the true rate of airline accidents and delays or if they instead result from fluctuations in the human social layer where confirmation bias, saliency, and mimesis can draw our concern far out of proportion.
