This probably comes as no surprise to anyone. As Google more than likely didn’t want to drop the name that’s been associated with its wearables platform for years at this point. While the name for this new unified Wear OS platform isn’t really new itself, it is different enough that people should know the difference. So long as it’s referred to as Wear OS 3 in any marketing and on any packaging....
This was inevitable, as most notable new devices get a teardown at some point. iFixit performed the teardown for the Pixel Watch, and it was able to survive the whole process. The presenter started by heating up the display to soften the adhesive. After that, she unscrewed the necessary screws to get into the device. One bummer is that in order to take off the screen, you need to disconnect the battery....

The European Union has been trying to set a standard for devices offered in the region. From 2024, all devices sold in the EU must have USB-C as a common charging standard (there are exceptions). This has significant benefits, including reduced e-waste and lower costs for customers to purchase new charges. The US senators also want to implement such a standard in the country. According to Engadget (via The Verge), US senators Ed Markey, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders asked the Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to develop a “comprehensive strategy” for a common charging standard....

The Beyerdynamic MMX 150 mix real world sounds with game audio The stand out feature of both these new headsets is no doubt the Augmented Mode featured in the Beyerdynamic MMX 150.

This Tesla CyberPhone concept looks… different This concept design is inspired by the Tesla Cybertruck, of course. That is especially visible on the back. The backplate is not flat, nor is it curved in a symmetrical fashion. There are several different plates there, each with a different angle. It makes it look different than basically every other phone out there. The designer used a rather large Tesla logo on the back, and even the camera island is different....

The company’s announcement states, “Effective November 23, 2022, Twitter is no longer enforcing the COVID-19 misleading information policy.” Back in 2020, after COVID-19 started to spread globally, Twitter and other social platforms began a campaign to remove or label any content that might contain misinformation about covid and later vaccination. At the time, Twitter said it removes “demonstrably false or potentially misleading content.” Some accounts were even suspended for repeatedly publishing so-called misinformation about covid....
According to the official report (via), this miscalculation happened due to a technical error related to linked accounts. In March 2019, Twitter rolled out a feature that allowed users to link multiple separate accounts together so they can quickly switch between them. But the company then started counting all linked accounts as mDAUs if the primary account was active. That’s regardless of whether other accounts were in use. From Q1 2019 through Q4 2021, Twitter overstated the mDAUs in its quarterly earnings report....

All you have to do is open the Undo Notification app, and tap the ‘Undo’ button....
The devices that Verizon is sending for free are basic flip phones. Customers are getting one of the Orbic Journey V, TCL Flip Pro, and the Nokia 2720 V Flip. Priced at $99.99, $79.99, and $79.99, respectively, these phones are as basic as they get. Unsurprisingly, they are poorly rated on the company’s website — all averaging less than two stars out of five. Some Verizon 3G CDMA customers have already received the devices and the reviews they left on the website are overwhelmingly poor too....
The carrier has not yet announced which markets it is available in, but we do know it’s available in quite a few, based on the r/Verizon subreddit. And the initial speed tests were seeing are quite good. Typically when you look at that subreddit, there are a lot of questions about accounts, and devices.
