The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is asking the attorneys general of California and New York to investigate Google for deceptive trade practices, saying the tech giant fails to notify users before handing over their data to law enforcement agencies like ICE.“For nearly a decade, Google has promised billions of users that it will notify them before disclosing their personal data to law enforcement,” the letter says. But it didn’t in the case of Amandla Thomas-Johnson, a former PhD candidate at Cornell University who says he received no notice that ICE had accessed his university email.The EFF alleges that this isn’t…

Sony’s PC-focused InZone brand is covering a lot of ground, now adding open-back headsets to its growing catalog of gaming accessories. The $199.99 H6 Air borrows the comfortable, easy-to-adjust design of the flagship $350 H9 II wireless headset, makes it wired, and pokes a bunch of holes in the ear cups, resulting in an open-back design that sounds more natural and fits more comfortably than most other headsets.Like other open-back headphones, the H6 Air isn’t built to reduce outside noise. Instead, sounds coming from the headset’s drivers are mixed with outside sounds. Open-back headsets or headphones are a bad choice…

Apple, Sony, Samsung, and Google all offer excellent options, though, unsurprisingly, Bose still retains the noise-canceling crown with the latest QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds. Luckily, you can now grab the second-gen earbuds at Amazon and Best Buy for $249 ($50 off), which matches their second-best price to date.While the QC Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) aren’t a massive step up from the first-gen model, at least visually, they make noticeable strides in both sound and call quality. They still lean a little bass-heavy, but the high-end is clear and…

A claim that, according to Google, isn’t true.The developer, going by the username Aloshdenny, has open-sourced their work on GitHub and documented his process, claiming all it required was 200 Gemini-generated images, signal processing, and “way too much free time.” A little weed also seemed to help.“No neural networks. No proprietary access,” Aloshdenny said on Medium. “Turns out if you’re unemployed and average enough ‘pure black’ AI-generated images, every nonzero pixel is literally…

Trump Mobile has overhauled its website, introducing a new logo, new design language, and a new version of the T1 Phone. The redesigned phone is the same one that two company executives showed me over a video call two months ago, seemingly now confirmed to be the final design — but there’s still no word on when it will arrive.The phone is still gold, of course, with an American flag design on the rear, alongside a “Trump Mobile” wordmark. I was shown a similar design but with an enormous “T1” logo across the whole of the rear, but I was…
