Smart speakers and portable speakers get a bad rap in the audiophile world, and the Sonos Roam is both smart and portable. But as we showed with Google’s Nest Audio, there’s no reason wireless speakers can’t bring serious sound quality.

Apple and Amazon make lossless music a free upgrade, but that sucks for artists

In a surprisingly coordinated announcement, both Amazon Music and Apple Music announced they were making lossless audio a free upgrade. In two fell swoops, premium audio services like Tidal and Deezer are likely being forced to re-evaluate their pricing structure, and the folks at Spotify are likely rethinking the price of their upcoming HiFi tier. Apple announced it was bringing lossless to Apple Music in June, starting at CD Quality... Read more â€ș

Why you should be very wary of AI that ‘processes’ college video applications

To the graduating class of 2021 I have but one piece of advice for you: watch out for snake oil. Artificial intelligence is a backbone technology that’s as important as the internet or electricity. But it’s also a field so rife with scams that even institutions of higher learning are getting duped by smooth-talking marketing teams and BS AI. The long and short of it is that colleges and universities... Read more â€ș

Why on earth is Michelin launching special ‘EV tires’?

Michelin recently launched two types of tires in China, specifically made for electric vehicles. The new tires are meant to show Michelin’s “concern for Chinese consumers and the company’s development strategy,” Shanghai Daily reports.  But
 why would EVs need special tires to begin with? Well, it all boils down to weight. EVs generally weigh more than gasguzzlers, which means they wear tires down much faster. Also, worn tires will reduce... Read more â€ș

This era, lasting a few hundred million years prior to the large-scale formation of stars, is called the cosmic dark ages. The Lunar Crater Radio Telescope (LCRT), an ambitious concept to place a massive radio telescope on the far side of... Read more â€ș

How dating apps have adapted to the pandemic and made romancing safer

The pandemic has challenged and changed how most people date and hookup. “Monogamy is preferable at this time,” said Horacio Arruda, Quebec’s National Director of Public Health, during the height of the first wave.

This shift has increased the number of dating app users and the amount of time people spend on... Read more â€ș
