Some of us take a kind of “I eat to live” rather than an “I live to eat” approach to gadgets. They’re tools that help you get things done, not something you want to invest a lot of time or money in. If that’s you — and there’s no judgment here from a certifiable gadget nerd — then you can probably think of more worthwhile ways to spend $1,000 than on a phone.Budget phones to the rescue. These devices are roughly $500 or under, though not all of them, and they’re more capable than ever. You won’t get all the…
Sony has a history of making excellent TVs, from the Trinitron CRTs of last century to the world’s first OLED nearly 20 years ago to 2016’s ZD9 mini-LED that delivered exceptional brightness and dimming control for the time. And while Samsung beat Sony to the market with the S95B, in 2022 Sony was the first company to announce a QD-OLED TV. That TV, the A95K, was the best TV I had ever seen — until the A95L in 2023. Now we have the next in the series. The naming convention has changed, but with the Bravia 8 II, Sony once…
It was an overcast January morning in 2025 the day I decided to delete my operating system.The Ubuntu installer warned me that it would remove everything on my hard drive, permanently wiping the entire Windows 10 installation I’d been running for years at that point. I hesitated for a second — maybe I should just dual-boot? No, I’m going all in! Finally, I hit the button to install Linux. One year later, I still don’t regret that choice. I even resurrected an old Windows 10 laptop by installing Linux on it.My decision to try out Linux was driven by a…
X is awash with nonconsensual sexual deepfakes that blatantly violate Apple’s and Google’s policies, yet it and xAI’s Grok remain on both companies’ app stores. In open letters published Wednesday, a coalition of 28 advocacy groups, including women’s organizations and tech watchdogs, are demanding CEOs Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai grow spines and evict them.“Grok is being used to create mass amounts of nonconsensual intimate images (NCII), including child sexual abuse material (CSAM) — content that is both a criminal offense and in direct violation of Apple’s App Review Guidelines. Because Grok is available on the Grok app and directly…
Stuff VerdictThe MG IM6 will be perfect for anyone who wants a Tesla beating SUV with ridiculously quick performance, plenty of range and oodles of interior space.ProsWickedly fast and lots of rangeImpressive comfort levels insideCavernous boot and a frunk tooConsScreens control all features and functionsRather innocuous body stylingRidiculously small rear window Introduction I’m not personally in the market for a family-focused electric SUV, but if you are the MG IM6 is a perfect alternative to the likes of the Tesla Model Y, Skoda Enyaq, Kia EV5 and much more besides. It’s really quite brave of Chinese parent company SAIG to…
The WeChat channel 纽约移民记事网Documented (or the New York Immigrant Chronicle) is part newsfeed and part public service. The channel, run by the nonprofit newsroom Documented NYC, is filled with local news for Chinese speakers in New York: stories about healthcare and immigration arrests, but also information on local events like toy giveaways, places where families can get free groceries, and affordable housing lottery listings. Followers can also contact reporters directly — to send them tips, of course, but followers also turn to Documented for essential questions: Where can I find free English classes? What should I expect at an upcoming…
Are you looking to upgrade your smartphone or trade up to a new laptop soon? This may not be the best time to do it. 2026 is set to be a turbulent year for tech, with price rises expected across the board. Games consoles, TVs, smart home kit and even new cars are set to leave more of a dent in your wallet than they otherwise would. The memory modules used by pretty much every consumer gadget are in short supply, which has pushed up wholesale prices on the remaining production capacity. Manufacturers are now going to pass those higher…
OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Translate, a standalone web translation tool that supports over 50 languages and is positioned as a direct competitor to Google Translate. The two services look visually similar: both feature two text boxes — one for typing or pasting the source text, and another that displays the translated results — alongside dropdown menus to manage which languages you’re translating to or from.There are some notable differences, however. Google Translate allows users to upload images, documents, and even websites for translation alongside the usual text inputs. The ChatGPT Translate homepage notes that it can translate from text, images,…
It’s been 25 years since the launch of Wikipedia on January 15th, 2001, and it’s come a long way from housing just 100 pages to becoming a behemoth of online knowledge with more than 65 million articles that get almost 15 billion views each month.To celebrate, the Wikimedia Foundation — the nonprofit that backs Wikipedia — is releasing brief clips that highlight eight of its editors from across the globe. Some of the featured editors include “Hurricane Hank,” who joined Wikipedia in 2005 and contributed to the Hurricane Katrina page, along with Netha, an Indian doctor and experienced Wikipedia editor…
It might be the current gold standard for Android smartphone software support, and Apple regularly keeps its iPhone range updated for just as long, but seven years is an awfully long time when it comes to tech. Buying a new handset based on the strength of how many operating system versions its promised just doesn’t make sense in 2026 – and there are a bunch of reasons why. Pick up a Google Pixel 10 today and it could, in theory, still be in your pocket in 2032, running whatever version of Android we’re on by that point. Google and Samsung…
Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, Perplexity, and Mistral AI have joined Google in paying the Wikimedia Foundation for access to its projects, including Wikipedia’s vast collection of articles. The Wikimedia Foundation announced the news as part of Wikipedia’s 25th anniversary on Thursday.The partnerships are part of Wikimedia Enterprise, an initiative launched in 2021 that gives large companies access to a premium version of Wikipedia’s API for a fee. Lane Becker, the Wikimedia Foundation’s senior director of earned revenue, tells The Verge that the program offers a version of Wikipedia “tuned” for commercial use and AI companies. “We take feature requests, we build…
