Marathon launches today, 5th March, and following a successful Server Slam test last weekend and the reveal of promising post-launch plans, developer Bungie seems to have finally built some positive sentiment.

Nothing Phone (4a) and Nothing Phone (4a) Pro The (3a) and (3a) Pro from last year were largely differentiated by their cameras. The new Pro model still offers a better camera than its vanilla...

Разворачиваем self-hosted Matrix: Synapse + OIDC + LiveKit + подписанные обновления

Привет. Мне стало интересно, насколько реально одному разработчику собрать продакшн‑подобную инфраструктуру мессенджера без managed‑решений и «облачной магии». Не стартап‑презентацию, а инженерный эксперимент: развернуть стек, заставить его жить, увидеть слабые места и понять, что в этой системе действительно критично.На Хабре уже есть материалы про базовую установку Synapse + Element, но моя цель чуть другая — показать сборку, где к Matrix добавляется внешний слой идентификации (OIDC), VoIP‑инфраструктура.

Nothing's Phone 4a Pro picks up flagship features and an even brighter display for $499

Back in January, Nothing shared that it wouldn't be releasing its flagship Nothing Phone 4 in 2026, and instead focusing on follow-ups to its midrange Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro.

Nothing's new over-ear headphones can pump out the jams for five days on a single charge

Nothing just revealed a new pair of over-ear headphones as a relatively budget-friendly alternative to the pre-existing Headphone 1. The Headphone (a) earphones feature a similar design language to the company's previous cans, but with more color. As a matter of fact, these will be available in four colors, including yellow, pink, white and black. Perhaps the most notable feature here, however, is the battery life. Nothing says these headphones... Read more

Nothing Phone 4a hands-on: A more technically accomplished entry-level smartphone

Nothing is back with two new smartphones, the entry-level Phone 4a and the mid-range Phone 4a Pro. With the base 4a in particular, there’s no shortage of substantial hardware upgrades since the 3a, even if the design doesn’t quite stand out as much. This year, that’s apparently the role of the Nothing Phone 4a Pro. That said, the base 4a’s two new color options (blue and pink) are gorgeous additions... Read more
