Hereâs something you donât read every day: Apple is making it easier to fix your broken iPhone 13. Itâs a rare instance of Apple backtracking from one of its hostile moves towards the right to repair.

âIf you want something done right, do it yourself,â the saying goes. Thatâs the strategy Microsoft appears to be taking with its new Surface Laptop SE, by far the cheapest PC the company has ever made (the excellent Surface Laptop Go started at $549).

Black holes and stars collide often and, usually,... Read more âș

The looming arrival of Spotify Wrapped always arouses excitement â and terror. If, like me, you have exquisite taste, the end-of-year breakdown of your listening habits is an eagerly-awaited reminder of your discerning judgment. If, however, you have a tin ear for music, itâs time to feverishly hit repeat on some pretentious tracks that you donât actually like. Those who neglect this duty shall be granted a Wrapped that leaves... Read more âș

This article was originally published by Built In. Donât quit your day job just yet. Thatâs the message that should be implied â if not explicitly stated â to every applicant of every gig and creator marketplace during the vetting process. With the poorly named Great Resignation in full swing, talent is leaving the nest (prison?) of gainful full-time employment at record levels and sometimes seemingly on a whim. As... Read more âș

TLDR: Check out these early Black Friday prices on different backup power generators and battery packs for all your emergency needs. As you step back this year and admire your holiday lighting display, the one that could rival the Las Vegas Strip when viewed from space, it might be worth at least a passing thought to consider what happens if youâve just single-handedly drained your regional power grid.

The fintech sector was already booming, but with increased demand for user-friendly, digital financial services, the pandemic really pushed many new and innovative solutions into mainstream use. Itâs understandable that banks could see this as a threat â drawing away customers and even potentially rendering their services obsolete. But, instead of feeling threatened, some are taking a very different approach: if you canât beat them, join them. Unlike the world... Read more âș

Apple has been annoyingly secretive about the possible development of its own Apple Car. But is it building a dream team to make that happen? Certainly.

Last month, Apple announced its new MacBook Pro models with an updated M1X ARM-based processor. While the performance of M1-based Macs was already impressive, the new chip brings 70% CPU performance improvement and 200% GPU performance improvement â at least according to Apple. This means that developers can take better advantage of these power upgrades. If youâre looking for the top-of-the-line MacBook Pro with a 16-inch screen, 64GB RAM, and... Read more âș

The Chinese market is one of the most appealing for brands looking to expand into new territories. And itâs clear why â the ecommerce market in China is $2.7 trillion, four times the size of the US ($843 billion), and is growing twice as fast.

Whenever I unbox new wireless headphones for review, the first thing I do is connect them to a charger so I can have a nice long listening session the next day. But rather than connect a charger to the Urbanista Los Angelesâ USB-C port, I simply set the headphones near a window. By the time I actually listened to them, theyâd been topped up by nothing other than the power... Read more âș

US Senator Josh Hawley, a Republican from Missouri, recently blamed the perceived loss of American masculinity on liberal ideologies, video games, and pornography. Speaking at the National Conservatism Conference in Florida last week, Hawley asked the crowd: Still, can we be surprised that after years of being told they are the problem, that their manhood is the problem, more and more men are withdrawing into the enclave of idleness, and...

Speech recognition systems struggle to understand African American Vernacular English (AAVE). In a 2020 study by Stanford University researchers, the software performed so poorly for AAVE that some leading systems made correct transcriptions for barely half the words spoken. The researchers speculated that the systems had a common flaw: âinsufficient audio data from Black speakers when training the models.â A startup called Speechmatics has developed a technique that appears to...

Back in June, Australian startup Alauda Racing unveiled its Airspeeder MK3. The company defines the aircraft as a full-sized remotely-operated electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle (eVTOL). The Airspeeder though isnât your average eVTOL â itâs a flying race car. On Thursday, Alauda set two Mk3s to fight against each other down a 300m drag strip over the deserts of South Australia. And itâs a true battle of speed, with... Read more âș
