13+ min ago (220+ words) The holiday season is a good time to acquire a new skill - you have the time and don't want to go outdoors. How about getting into electronics and home automation? My recommendation for this is the Raspberry Pi Pico, specifically the Pico 2W, where W indicates in-built WiFi. Originally launched in 2021 it is now in its second generation and there are two variants, the Pico 2 and the Pico 2W, which supports WiFi and Bluetooth and is therefore ideal in situations where you want to share data to a remote computer. If you want to know about the two models see'Pico 2 Faster With More Memory And RISCier'and'Pico 2W Announced But There Is A Surprise! After a recent price hike the Pico 2'(left)'costs around $10 and the Pico'2W'(right) around $12.' Buying a device with a Header saves on soldering.

17+ min ago (160+ words) India is reviewing a proposal that would require Apple to keep GPS location services permanently active on every iPhone sold in the country, according to Reuters. GPS is typically activated only when specific apps request location access or when an emergency call is placed. The COAI has also asked the government to require smartphone makers to disable pop-up notifications that inform users when a carrier is attempting to access location information. Apple has formally opposed the proposal. In a letter sent in July by the India Cellular & Electronics Association (ICEA), which represents Apple and Google, the companies warned the government that forcing GPS to remain active at all times would constitute a regulatory overreach. The news comes shortly after India reversed a separate directive that would have required all smartphone makers, including Apple, to preinstall a government app and prevent…...

1+ hour, 4+ min ago (247+ words) Philips launched the Evnia 27M2N5500XD, a 27-inch gaming monitor built for competitive players. It runs at 500 Hz in 1440p resolution and hits 1,000 Hz when dropped to 720p. That puts it ahead of the 720 Hz OLED monitors ASUS and ViewSonic announced recently. The monitor showed up in China next to the AOC Agon AGP277QK. Both use the same dual-mode panel, which makes sense since AOC and Philips share a parent company. These displays focus on motion clarity and low input lag instead of sharp visuals. Most people will stick with 500 Hz at 2560 x 1440, but the 1,000 Hz option exists for players who need maximum speed. The panel is high-contrast IPS, not OLED. It has 1 ms gray-to-gray response time and 2,000:1 static contrast ratio. This setup keeps brightness stable and delivers better contrast than older IPS screens while maintaining fast pixel switching. Philips factory calibrates each unit to…...

1+ hour, 40+ min ago (979+ words) Generous storage, with foldable padded divider Decent quality and compact dimensions Only for lightweight gear No way to pack away tripod straps For such times, a backpack is excessive, and with which access to what's inside is typically slow and complicated. No, I need a small holder with quick access to gear, and that's where a bag like Ulanzi's Camera Sling Bag (9L) is perfect and one of the best camera bags of its kind. It takes the same crossbody bag form as the bags all the kids are wearing these days, but is also deeply practical (shh, don't tell them). It's larger than your average crossbody bag " aka a sling bag " meaning it's surprising just what can fit inside, without compromising on the advantages of such a bag type.
