Keep music out of your ears rather than in them with SHOKZ OpenRun Pro 2.
Given how many calls we have to answer, we all spend a lot of time between earphones. We also try to relax by taking walks and running while listening to music or podcasts. Since noise-cancelling devices literally create a vacuum in the canal, our ears are not really designed to handle in-ear audio.This explains why some people, at the very least, favor open-ear headphones and earbuds that allow for natural music listening without isolating you from the outside world. The alternative strategy is used by SHOKZ, a company that produces open-ear headphones that provide sound without causing any damage to the ear canals by using bone conduction technology. The SHOKZ OpenRun Pro 2 maintains your ear canals entirely open while producing high-quality audio through the use of bone conduction and air conduction technology. You can simultaneously hear music and your surroundings thanks to this "open-ear" design, which is especially helpful for safety when running and cycling.

I gave the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold a try… I am now convinced that I don’t need multiple devices
After a month of work-related travel to four major US cities, I returned to India and realized that managing three phones, a laptop, a tablet, a handheld console, and over-ear headphones was no longer feasible for me. It could be overwhelming at times – flying from one city to another, undergoing numerous security checks, and constantly fearing that a device might be left behind. This journey prompted me to reconsider the limits of excess, particularly given that I was going to consecutive tech events in various locations. It seems that I have at last come to understand that juggling several devices is simply not for me. For tech journalists, it is now far more sensible to have a single device, such as the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Though foldables are not yet mainstream (their high cost keeps them out of reach for most consumers), in my experience, the phone-tablet duo does provide a difference compared to carrying a separate phone and tablet; In addition, the user experience appears to have enhanced.While the Pixel 10 Pro Fold may appear similar to last year’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold that I reviewed, it boasts significant enhancements including a larger battery, a quicker Tensor G5 chip, upgraded cameras, improved displays, water resistance for folding phones, and enhanced integration with Google’s Gemini AI tools. It didn’t take me long to adapt to the folding Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which felt more polished and personal, but switching from my iPhone to the Google phone was still a challenge.

How an AR game was made for Snap's Spectacles glasses by this Indian developer
The XR designer and developer from Mumbai explains how he got started on "Sign of Doom," the augmented reality game for Snap's Spectacles eyewear.One of the first Indian developers to have access to Snap's fifth-generation Spectacles—a developer-only pair of spectacles with augmented reality capabilities—was freelance AR developer Jeetesh Singh.Snap Inc., the company that owns Snapchat, wants to create AR content for its Spectacles more quickly and is seeking to young Lens developers like Singh to create engaging AR experiences. The business wants to make it simpler to introduce AR lenses into glasses by utilizing the current ecosystem and developers who are already familiar with Lens Studio. "I was concentrating on creating a new gesture that would be enjoyable and easy to use, as well as on creating a novel experience using both hands, in order to create a unique interaction." That's how I began creating this experience, followed by a story, and then the game," Singh explained.“I was initially building some small experiences on my Spectacles, but I couldn’t come up with a specific idea that I could turn into a full-fledged application. However, when I thought about this game and the type of experience I wanted to develop, I felt this would be engaging and have the potential to be something people might want to play,” said Singh, a computer engineer.According to Singh, "Sign of Doom" is a first-person shooter game in which the universe is overrun by aliens and a portal has been broken. You take on the role of a player who uses their hands to hold mystical signals throughout the game. Different kinds of aliens with varying strengths appear at different levels as they attempt to shoot at you. Your hand emits energy bursts when you form an Illuminati sign. You advance to a higher level as your score increases. You can compete with gamers from across the world on the game's leaderboard. "Sign of Doom" is set entirely in three dimensions and has a Dragon Ball Z feel to it, but it was created especially for Snap's Spectacles AR glasses.

The announcement follows a months-long regulatory procedure and comes as departing President Joe Biden concludes attempts to tighten restrictions on technology developed in China.Washington: Targeting hardware and software from the second-largest economy in the world for national security threats, the US adopted a rule Tuesday that virtually bans Chinese technology from automobiles sold in the US market.The announcement follows a months-long regulatory procedure and comes as departing President Joe Biden concludes attempts to tighten restrictions on technology developed in China. The regulation also comes as Washington announced this month that it is considering new regulations to counter the threats posed by drones using technology from Russia and China, among other foes. Regarding the regulation that also targets Russian technology, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo stated, "Cars today aren't just steel on wheels -- they're computers." In reference to the People's Republic of China, she continued, "This is a targeted approach to ensure we keep PRC and Russian-manufactured technologies off American roads.""China is trying to dominate the future of the auto industry," said National Economic Advisor Lael Brainard, but connected cars with hardware and software systems connected to overseas competitors run the risk of intervention or the exploitation of private information.
Bigger isn't always better, as these five little cellphones demonstrate.
It's difficult to find a small phone in 2025, but these five phones have everything you need without feeling heavy or unwieldy.The number of accessible compact phones has substantially decreased, to the point that most phone manufacturers have already given up on making small phones, as smartphones continue to grow in size, with some of them approaching tablet size. if you're considering purchasing a little phone. There aren't many phones that are surprisingly good and can survive for several years. These are some of the top little phones available in February 2025, ranging from the Samsung Galaxy S25 to the Oppo Find X8.Although its slightly larger 6.4-inch screen may put off those with small hands, the Edge 50 Neo has nearly every feature you could possibly need in a mid-range phone. It comes with a clean, user-friendly, near-stock Android operating system with some Moto magic on top, along with a powerful MediaTek CPU that doesn't lag in daily tasks. In addition, you get wireless charging and a telephoto camera, which are often available on high-end flagship products. Additionally, Motorola has a bad reputation of updating its phones to the most recent version, even if the firm has stated that the phone will receive five Android updates. It's also important to remember that the phone's 4,310mAh battery might not last a full day for heavy and moderate users.

Which high-end phone is better, the OnePlus 13 or the iPhone 16 Plus?
Although both the OnePlus 13 and the iPhone 16 Plus are excellent smartphones, OnePlus' most recent flagship model appears to have a distinct edge in terms of performance, camera, and battery life.Apple iPhones are renowned for their seamless software, high-end construction, and superb cameras. However, newly released flagship Android phones, such as the OnePlus 13, offer even more features, including greater customization choices, a larger battery, and quicker charging. Here is a little guide that can help you choose between the recently released OnePlus 13 and the iPhone 16 Plus if you are having trouble deciding between the two.Design and presentation There is no greater contrast between the design language of the OnePlus 13 and the iPhone 16 Plus. In contrast to the Android phone, which is somewhat rectangular, the iPhone 16 Plus has far more subtle curves than the OnePlus 13, making it simpler to grip and pocket. Both phones now have an aluminum chassis. This also applies to these gadgets' backs. In contrast to the OnePlus 13, which has a glass back finish and is available in white and black, the iPhone 16 Plus has a frosted glass back. The OnePlus 13 also has a faux vegan leather finish. In terms of display, the OnePlus 13 boasts a slightly larger 6.82-inch AMOLED screen than the iPhone 16 Plus, which has a 6.7-inch OLED screen. Additionally, for unclear reasons, Apple chose to use a 60Hz panel on the iPhone 16 Plus, whereas the Oneplus 13 sports a 120Hz screen, which allows for far better scrolling and user interface components. You will probably notice the difference whether reading articles or playing games on the new OnePlus handset, which still has a significant advantage over the iPhone 16 Plus.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra 5G demonstrates what happens when AI and the greatest stylus combine.
With its potent S-Pen, huge screen, AI-driven features, and robust performance, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra 5G raises the bar for Android tablets. But is the time and money you've invested worth it? Let's investigate. Which Android tablet is the best available? The Samsung Galaxy Tab has been the only solution to this problem for years. With its new Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra 5G tablet, which is the tablet counterpart of its flagship smartphone, the Korean tech giant aims to emphasize this for another year. However, is the heritage that comes with the new Tab S10 Ultra truly worth it? This is my opinion after using it for a few days. Notwithstanding its sizable 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra 5G is a stylish tablet. With a size that other firms don't provide, the tablet is obviously targeted at people who require a larger canvas in order to fully utilize the S-pen's capacity to elevate your creativity. You should be aware that this is a huge tablet, particularly given its long or broad orientation. Fortunately, the thinness and light weight of this tablet make up for its bulk.
AI breakthrough in breast cancer detection: According to a new study, screening accuracy has increased by almost 17%.
AI can be a useful tool in the early diagnosis of breast cancer, according to a recent study conducted by experts from the University of Lubeck in Germany.In a significant discovery, scientists from the University of Lubeck in Germany discovered that artificial intelligence (AI) can increase cancer detection rates by almost 17%. The results come from a recent study that included the biggest AI use in breast cancer screenings ever.A total of 4,60,000 women were screened by 119 radiologists for the study. The radiologists were free to decide whether or not to employ AI. According to the study, radiologists supported by AI were able to detect cancer at a rate of 6.7 per 1,000 tests, a 17.6% increase over conventional readings.Up to 65% of AI-assisted readings for requested biopsies revealed malignancy, compared to 59% without AI. The study also showed that, without sacrificing accuracy, AI enabled 43% faster reading times, which decreased workloads.

Not much of a difference exists. In terms of how people discuss and use [AI], it doesn't really matter where I am—in Seattle, Palo Alto, Delhi, or Bangalore," Nadella stated during his presentation.
How Arm became the most prosperous tech company in Britain
Co-founder of London-based Amadeus Capital Partners Hermann Hauser joined a WhatsApp group in 2023 that was full of billionaire US investors including Michael Dell and Mark Andreesen.Hauser tells me, "When they invited me to join the group, one of the first things they did was lament the fact that Europe doesn't have any hundred-billion tech companies."“Well, keep an eye on Arm,” he said. The tip was sound. The chip designer's market value soared above $100 billion a few months after Arm's stunning Nasdaq IPO, making it the first British tech company to reach that milestone. Hauser, who had led the company's spinout from Cambridge-based Acorn Computers in the early 1990s after a modest investment from Apple, was proud of the moment.And the stock keeps up its impressive rise. It is currently valued at about $150 billion, more than twice as much as it was at its 2023 IPO, and it even briefly surpassed the $200 billion milestone in July of last year. During a recent staff conference, Arm's Chief Architect Richard Grisenthwaite, the company's de facto CTO, stated, "I can definitely see us going way above our current valuation over the years because the demand is really there." He also insisted on walking on stage to the song "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" by Bachman-Turner Overdrive."Everyone will be using more and more computing in everything they do, and it's in the data centers." Our networked world will include artificial intelligence, which presents us with a plethora of potential. "The demand for computing is significantly exploding right now.Here, the possibilities are truly endless. According to Arm's most recent financial reports, Grisenthwaite's optimism is justified. The company's turnover is expected to nearly double from just three years ago, reaching approximately $4 billion by the conclusion of its current fiscal year in April. Since then, Arm has gained over 2,000 employees, bringing its total workforce to almost 8,000. The majority of these employees still work in Cambridge, where the firm is now developing a new headquarters.
Under the new law, Malaysia authorizes WeChat and TikTok to function.
Under the new law, Malaysia licenses WeChat and TikTok to operate. Social media sites and messaging services with more than 8 million members in Malaysia are required by law to obtain a license or risk legal action, which was created to address the growing problem of cybercrime.KUALA LUMPUR: According to Malaysia's communications regulator, while several other platforms had not registered, Tencent's WeChat and ByteDance's TikTok were granted licenses to operate in the nation under a new social media law.In an effort to combat the growing problem of cybercrime, the law mandates that messaging services and social media platforms with over 8 million users in Malaysia obtain a license or risk legal action. It became operative on January 1. The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission stated in a statement on Wednesday that Meta Platforms, the company that owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, had started the licensing procedure, while messaging app Telegram was nearing the end of the licensing process.Because the platform claimed that its local user base fell short of the 8 million criterion, the regulator stated that X had not filed an application. The regulator stated that it was examining whether X's claim was legitimate. After voicing concerns regarding YouTube's video sharing capabilities and its classification under the licensing rules, Alphabet's Google, the company that runs the video site YouTube, also declined to apply for a license, the regulator said. It stated that YouTube must comply but did not specify the issues or how they relate to the legislation. "Platform providers found to be in violation of licensing requirements may be subject to investigation and regulatory actions," the agency stated. Early in 2024, Malaysia observed a significant rise in hazardous social media content and encouraged
