Say hello to the vivo X90 Pro - one of two 1-inch type cameraphones in vivo's lineup. Sadly the even more stacked X90 Pro+ is staying in China for now, but the X90 Pro seems fit to defend the company's honor well enough. It comes in an excellent retail package, stuffed with a case, a cable, and a whopping 120W charger. The vivo X90 Pro is a tale of two opposing perspectives. On the one hand, it's an excellent package with a 6.78-inch 1260x2800px 120Hz AMOLED display, a 4nm Dimensity 9200 chipset with 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, a 4,870mAh battery that goes to 50% in just 8...

Microsoft's acquisition of Activision has been a hot topic for the last year or so, but regulatory hurdles are still preventing the two companies from finalizing the deal worth $68.7 billion, which is the biggest takeover in tech history. The latest regulatory body to express its concerns is the British Competition and Markets Authority. Analysts believe that Microsoft's acquisition will hurt gamers in the long run because titles such as Call of Duty may become exclusive to Microsoft's Xbox console. This would lead to higher prices, reduced range, market dominance, lower quality and worse...
Back in October of 2021, Ken Pilonel made headlines by replacing the Lighting port on an iPhone X with a USB-C connector. Now the engineer has now stepped up to an even more complex mod by adding a functional USB-C port to a pair of first-gen AirPods Pro. The process involved developing and printing a new circuit board with the USB-C connector and 3D printing a new AirPods case to fit the custom PCB. The project involved plenty instances of trial and error, a whole new circuit board design and 3D printing. The necessary schematics are posted on GitHub so people with the right...

AI-powered chatbots may be the next big thing for Internet search engines. Microsoft certainly believes so and recently invested $10 billion in OpenAI, the makers of ChatGPT. Microsoft just announced that the AI model will be integrated into Bing and Edge, the company’s search engine and browser that are so far well behind Google’s alternatives in terms of market share. Google has similar plans, though it will use its in-house research. CEO Sundar Pichai introduced Bard, an “experimental conversational AI service”. It will be integrated into a core Google product, search, and will first be...
