As with many skilled professions these days, there is a gap between demand and supply when it comes to IT pros. As more people turn to Apple devices at work, whether computers, phones or tablets, the need for people who can service and manage these devices has increased. While we may find ourselves

It's 2022. Frankly, the notion of a company adding USB-C to a mainstream consumer device shouldn't still feel novel. And yet. Of course, Amazon's big holdout on the nearly ubiquitous charging port isn't quite the same as Apple's stubborn refusal to drop Lightning. It's more

Meta is testing end-to-end encryption in Quest's VR Messenger app, the company announced in a blog post. With the rollout of this test, the company is launching optional end-to-end encryption for Messenger's one-on-one messages and calls in VR. The test is rolling out as part of the new v40

Apple has released a bevy of new accessibility features for iPhone, Apple Watch and Mac, including a universal live captioning tool, improved visual and auditory detection modes, and iOS access to WatchOS apps. The new capabilities will arrive “later this year” as updates roll out to va

It's neither surprising, nor necessarily new scuttlebutt, but one of the most reliable Apple news scoopers of all time has chimed in to say that Apple is indeed at least serious enough about a potential switch from Lightning to USB-C on future iPhones that it's doing testing with models equ

It’s the darnest thing — in major cities, around 30% of homes have a fiber cable running past the house due to a local cell site or enterprise customer, but a bunch of humans are still on dial-up speeds. Flume Internet is tapping into the under-used fiber capacity in order to make high-

Peloton punctuated a rough week with a bright spot, teasing the next major addition to its home exercise offerings. In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, the connected fitness brand confirmed the forthcoming release of a home rowing machine. Beyond the quick glimpse and a “coming soon” grap

In February 2019, Reggie Fils-Aimé announced that he would be leaving Nintendo after 16 years — 13 of which were spent as the president and COO of the company's North American division. It was a fruitful run, filled with more ups (Wii, Switch) than downs (Wii U) during a time of tremendo

Most of the time no one has to think about how the mobile networks we all rely on work. But it won’t surprise many to hear that, as is often the case with infrastructure, some pieces are the latest tech and others haven’t changed in decades. Eridan is a well-funded startup aiming to rep

When it comes to headphones, Sony's got to work harder than many. Apple, Samsung, even Google — these companies are able to move a lot of product based largely on their smartphone businesses. That's not a knock against any of the above — all make varying degrees of perfectly fin

DJI has just introduced a new drone — its most capable ever to squeak under the 250 gram limit that keeps operators free from a whole host of headaches and restrictions for flight (note that local laws and rules still do apply — being small doesn’t mean you can do anything you want). The

If you’ve always wanted Giancarlo Esposito — the actor playing the meth-slinging Los Pollos Hermanos boss Gustavo Fring from “Breaking Bad” — to guide you through your choice of music, ho boy does Sonos have a treat for you. Esposito lent his voice to a Sonos speaker n

The consensus has long been that Google Glass was ahead of its time. But in recent years, much of the world has since lapped the company in the AR department. To close out today's I/O keynote, the company showcased what may well be a spiritual successor to the hardware. As CEO Sundar Pichai not

The Pixel Buds Pro seem understandably destined to get lost in the shuffle (deluge, really) of today's Google hardware announcements — so we'll keep things relatively short. The tl;dr here is that the company is finally bringing active noise cancellation to the line with the Pixel Bud
