Admit it, you never really considered the Beats Solo Buds a top wireless earbuds option for you. Released back in the summer of 2024, these are obviously nowhere near as sophisticated (or as aggressively advertised as) Apple’s AirPods Pro 3, AirPods Pro 2, or AirPods 4, lacking active noise cancellation, spatial audio technology, and even the most basic charging case.But at 30 bucks under an already reasonable list price of $69, none of those omissions is likely to matter much to bargain hunters in the search for the perfect stocking stuffer this Christmas. Clearly, you’re looking at a “true” Black…
Scientists have used genetically engineered bacteria to simultaneously create and color fabrics in a one-pot method. Compared with current methods that rely on fossil fuels, the new technique offers a simpler and more sustainable way to produce colored textiles.In a new study described Nov. 12 in the journal Trends in Biotechnology, the researchers created cellulose-based fabrics spanning the colors of the rainbow by altering the conditions used to grow the bacteria.Synthetic fibers rely “heavily on chemical synthesis and post-treatment steps that are energy-intensive, laborious, and environmentally harmful,” said study lead author Sang Yup Lee, a professor in the Department of…
Valve made a big return to PC hardware this week. The company, most famous for its PC gaming platform, Steam, announced a new home console called Steam Machine alongside a new version of the Steam Controller, and a new virtual reality headset dubbed the Steam Frame.The Steam Machine is a revival of Valve’s original Steam Machine, a failed attempt to bring PC gaming to the living room almost exactly 10 years ago. Now, it’s back, built on the success of the Steam Deck handheld. Valve claims the new Steam Machine is six times more powerful than the Steam Deck, and…
Earlier this year, I played Metroid Prime for the first time in at least a decade. Back in 2023, Nintendo released a remastered version of the 2002 classic for the Switch, and I felt like dusting it off once we finally knew Metroid Prime 4: Beyond would arrive this year after about a decade in development. The original Metroid Prime holds up surprisingly well for a 23-year-old game, but there were plenty of times where it showed its age. The platforming often felt overly clunky, as precise control over Samus Aran is not the game’s strong suit. Similarly, dealing with…
Losing your keys, wallet or backpack happens to the best of us and Apple just made the solution super affordable. The company kicked off a serious Black Friday sale on AirTags, dropping prices to record lows we have never seen on these trackers before. The four-pack now sits at $64 instead of the usual $99, while a single AirTag costs just $18 down from $29. What really makes this deal great is that AirTags now cost less than the main competitors like Samsung and Tile, despite offering significantly more reliable tracking thanks to Apple’s massive network of devices.

Leica Camera AG has introduced the Leica SL3 Reporter, a rugged version of its SL3 full-frame mirrorless camera made for professionals who work in tough conditions. The SL3 Reporter comes in a matte olive-green finish and features an aramid fiber trim that resists scratches and provides a stronger grip. The material also protects the body from abrasions and weather exposure. Over time, the trim develops a patina that gives each camera a unique look. The red Leica logo has been removed for a more low-profile appearance suited for field photography. Inside, the camera uses a 60-megapixel full-frame BSI CMOS sensor…
Look into the night sky, and it might seem like space is a vast expanse of darkness. But are any regions darker than others? What’s the darkest place in the solar system and, on a grander scale, the universe?In short, the answer isn’t straightforward, and it depends on whom you ask, experts told Live Science.True darkness, the blackest black, is surprisingly rare and hard to pinpoint. This is because there is a lot of dust in the cosmos: Dust scatters light, making space glow far beyond stars, Marc Postman, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore,…
Ford, too, is creating a battery plant to make prismatic LFP cells for future EVs. The site in Marshall, Michigan, has attracted political opposition amid controversy over Ford’s decision to license intellectual property for those cells from CATL, China’s largest battery company. Ford pushed back on the criticism, arguing that America needs LFP batteries to lower EV costs and “reshore” a technology initially invented in the US. GM, meanwhile, says the IP in its LFP cells is fully owned by the two Ultium partners, LG and itself.So far, Hyundai-Kia has not said it will offer LFP cells in any of…
EcoFlow is hosting an early Black Friday sale on portable power stations. This drops prices by up to 42 percent on many of its well-regarded products. For instance, the Delta Pro 3 is on sale for $2,299. This is a discount of 37 percent, as the typical cost is $3,699. That’s a significant drop in price. Amazon’s matching the sale price as well.The Delta Pro 3 topped Yahoo’s list of the best portable power stations, and for very good reason. This thing is a beast. It boasts a 4,096Wh capacity, so it can power an average 500-watt refrigerator for over…
A common misconception about location spoofing on smartphones is that the best way to do it is by using a VPN. Reroute your connection through a server in Tokyo, and you’ll suddenly have access to exclusive anime available only in Japan. I’ve been playing with it these past few days, and it actually did a pretty good job at spoofing my location. In a matter of seconds, I appeared in different places across the US and Mexico. Even the phone’s time changed according to the corresponding time zone.Spoofing your location the smart wayLocaChange works by simulating your device’s GPS location…
