Joby Aviation Has a Bold Plan to Make Flying Cars Real—Fast

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-07-20 14:12:54

Flying cars were supposed to be a fantasy. A punchline. A cartoonish promise from a Jetsons-era past. But Joby Aviation is no longer promising anything. It’s building them. The Santa Cruz, California-based company just unveiled the expansion of its manufacturing facility in Marina, CA, where it now has the capacity to build up to 24 electric air taxis per year. That’s two flying cars a month. With additional capacity ramping up in Dayton, Ohio, and test flights already underway in Dubai, the fu

Nothing’s Headphone 1 Copied the AirPods Max’s Dumbest Accessory, and Now I Actually Need One

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-07-21 22:37:42

Apple’s AirPods Max are iconic for lots of reasons. Firstly, it’s Apple, so they have just a teensy bit of name-brand recognition. Secondly, there’s the sound—Apple’s over-ear headphones might look a little boring, but they sound consistently great. Good enough to actually make a $550 price tag work. There’s also a third iconic aspect, though this one may be notable for the wrong reasons. If you guessed the “iBra” carrying case, congratulations, you win a free ticket to tech nerd jail. As iconi

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority Despite hundreds of thousands of games on the Play Store, very few become comforting escapes from the harsh reality.

With this in mind, I have handpicked games that require no prior experience in mobile gaming and can be picked up immediately.

How passkeys work: Going passwordless with public key cryptography

zdnet.com David Berlind 2025-07-31 16:00:00

Vitalii Gulenok/Getty Images For the last five years, the FIDO Alliance -- led by Apple, Microsoft, and Google (with other companies in tow) -- has been blazing a trail toward a future where passwords are no longer necessary in order to login to our favorite websites and apps. This so-called passwordless future is based on a new form of login credential known as the passkey, which itself is largely based on another technology -- public key cryptography -- that's been around for decades.

Google is working to bring album art to Now Playing on your Pixel’s lock screen (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-01 02:09:51

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Now Playing detects songs your phone hears in its vicinity and can identify them on your lock screen. Tapping on the detected song name currently takes you to your Now Playing history. Google is working on a new interface where that tap would instead display album art on the lock screen.

Charlize Theron’s 6 Best Genre Roles

She’s also a gifted action star, as seen in her appearances in Atomic Blonde and the Fast & Furious movies, a series which skirts the edge of sci-fi. But you don’t need to qualify anything when it comes to Theron’s fondness for sci-fi and fantasy.
