First‚ we got AI-powered bird feeders that can tell you who is visiting your backyard‚ and now‚ a new pair of AI-supported binoculars can identify over 9‚000 species of birds and other wildlife while you’re hiking in the woods or roaming the halls of CES. Okay‚ there are no birds at CES (and not many around the Las Vegas Strip‚ which may not be by accident)‚ but I did get to test out the smart binos and do some twitching (of the birding kind) on the show floor. These Marc Newson-designed Swarovski Optic AX Visio binoculars look and feel like standard high-end binos‚ but when I trained them on a nearby avian (actually‚ a cardboard cutout on the top of a wood pole)‚ they told me its species.

The Ayaneo Next Lite. | Image: Ayaneo The first non-Valve device with SteamOS preinstalled is about to ship: Ayaneo just announced its next handheld gaming PC‚ the Next Lite‚ is running the open-source operating system. Ayaneo is pitching the Next Lite as a cost-effective option‚ but we don’t know too much about the device just yet or how much it will cost. It has a seven-inch 800p screen‚ a 47Wh battery‚ and Hall effect joysticks‚ according to an Ayaneo blog post. The company is also advertising “vibrant colors” that include a good-looking seafoam green and “high-end craftsmanship.” But we don’t yet know what chip powers the handheld‚ so it’s hard to know how its performance might stack up against other devices.

The easiest way to drop papers on someone! | Nick Barclay / The Verge Friends‚ I believe we’ve found the most compelling use of the blockchain yet: serving people with legal documents. It is‚ in fact‚ even easier to serve notice of a lawsuit to someone using blockchain technology than it is in real life‚ because you don’t need a person’s identity to do it. What a breakthrough! The case in question is a lawsuit by Ryan Dellone‚ who has served a wallet belonging to an unknown individual with notice that they’re being sued‚ Krebs on Security reports. (The wallet contains Bitcoin allegedly stolen from Dellone in a SIM-swapping attack.) Dellone used a short message and about $100 worth of Bitcoin to serve notice of the suit. It is the first of its kind. Now‚ one of the fun ways that cryptocurrency wallets work... Continue reading…

In September 2023‚ Apple released a firmware update for AirPods Pro 2 before the official launch of iOS 17. With these versions now out‚ users can take advantage of six new features available to the company's best wireless earbuds to date. One of the game-changer features for AirPods Pro 2 is Adaptive Audio. Not only does this feature improve my usage of this product‚ but I think it adds even more value to these earbuds. Here's how it works. Image source: José Adorno for BGR Apple announced Adaptive Audio during WWDC 2023. This feature "helps you focus on your favorite content or seamlessly interact with others around you while wearing AirPods Pro‚" Cupertino explains. This function combines Personalized Volume and Conversation Awareness to ensure you can immerse yourself in a song or a TV show but always come back and be aware of your surroundings. With Personalized Volume‚ Apple uses machine learning to fine-tune your media experience based on your preferences over time and the environment around you‚ so if you begin speaking to someone nearby‚ Conversation Awareness automatically lowers any media volume‚ reduces background noise‚ and enhances the voices in front of you. Here's how these AirPods Pro 2 features work in real life Image source: José Adorno for BGR Like Active Noise Cancellation or Transparency Mode‚ Adaptive Audio is a new option you can turn on. Basically‚ it works in between ANC and Transparency Mode‚ as it doesn't let outdoor noise bother your listening experience‚ but it also doesn't block all sounds. It's perfect if you are near a coworker who likes talking to you during working hours or beside a friend. If you start talking‚ the Adaptive Audio feature dramatically reduces the audio of what's playing‚ and‚ usually‚ it can also recognize somebody else's voice‚ so the audio of a song or a TV show doesn't go back up just after you finish speaking. It's also possible to turn on Conversation Awareness with ANC. When you start talking‚ AirPods Pro 2 automatically changes to Transparency Mode and lowers the song's volume. In my experience‚ AirPods Pro 2 didn't detect a conversation if I'm humming to a song‚ but if I start singing out loud‚ it triggers Conversation Awareness – although not every time. This feature is very accurate when I start talking with someone in the street or at home. This is one of the main iOS 17 features you should definitely think about trying alongside your AirPods Pro 2. If you're having trouble connecting your AirPods to your device‚ we can help you here.

It was wild to hear that an iPhone survived a 16‚000-foot drop following the Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 plug door incident. That speaks volumes about the iPhone's durability‚ and the owner's great insight to use protective gear with it. There's certainly some amount of luck involved here‚ too. The iPhone must have landed just right to avoid catastrophe. But it's no wonder the iPhone drop incident went viral. An iPhone surviving such a fall is incredible‚ especially considering real-life incidents where iPhone owners break the front or rear glass after much shorter drops. The iPhone is durable but not indestructible‚ despite this amazing case involving a Flight 1282 passenger.  However‚ no one seems to be talking about a big security issue involving the iPhone‚ yet it should also go viral. At a time when iPhone thieves are tricking people and stealing Apple ID access‚ some people do not even lock their devices with a password/PIN and Face ID. That's the first thing you should do when you set up your phone. Continue reading...
