Lots of folks speculating about AirDrop working on the Pixel, if it was reverse engineering or asking if Apple might break the compatibility. The reality might be a bit more mundane. Seems Apple is just being forced to play by regulators' rules...

HA! The Article of the DMA that "encourages" Apple to allow for better compatibility with competing products (like earbuds, watches, and services like AirDrop) is Article 6(7)!
SIX SEVEN YALL!!!
Benefits for business and end users What does this mean for me as an iPhone user? The objective of Article 6(7) DMA is that devices, apps and products from third parties can be used on an iPhone as seamlessly as Apple’s own products. The specification decisions adopted today support Apple in achieving this objective, by detailing how to securely allow third parties to use certain features that are so far only available to Apple devices. For example, the specification decision on connected devices aims to enable, amongst others, the following improvements: iPhone users will have enhanced possibilities to receive push notifications including pictures on their non-Apple smartwatch and reply to these notifications. iPhone users will also be able to pair their non-Apple connected devices such as headphones and smartwatches more seamlessly and easily with the iPhone. Non-Apple devices such as virtual reality headsets will benefit from better and faster data connections with the iPhone. Developers will be able to integrate alternative solutions to Apple’s AirDrop and AirPlay services on the iPhone. As a result, iPhone users will be able to choose from different and innovative services to share files with other users and cast media content from their iPhones to TVs. Thanks to these new possibilities, in the future new and innovative devices may be developed for the iPhone users, something which was until now constrained by the lack of full interoperability.

There's been a LOT of concern about the cameras on the OnePlus 15 from tech reviewers. Are they really THAT bad?

Today is the 40th anniversary of the first Calvin and Hobbes comic strip. 😊
The first Calvin and Hobbes, cal I telling his dad he made a tiger trap, baited with a tuna fish sandwich, and it worked to catch Hobbes.

This holiday season, I'm asking for your help! Talk to your family and friends about cleaning out old gadgets and batteries they might have laying around. Old batteries can be dangerous.

We dont get a lot of here in Southern California. Took the Vivo X300 Pro out to mess around with some 4k 120 video clips, and thought I would share some of them here.

Enjoy!

Happy OnePlus 15 day! This new phone is incredibly powerful, has a great screen, and a huge battery with real fast charging!
So why might I recommend some folks stick with the OnePlus 13 instead?

I couldn't help shooting a quick video just to geek out on the Steam Frame reveal. Anyone else looking forward to a new VR headset?

It's really cool to see Beyerdynamic try a smaller headphone with an ON-ear design, but will this headband work for you?

Rumors are pointing to Apple trying to re-launch the iPhone Air in 2026. If they do, please dont buy it either. Thin phones should stay a failure.

I really wasnt expecting to spend any time with the Nothing Phone 3. I was pretty sure it wouldn't be something I would like. After picking up a loaner for a couple weeks, was my mind suddenly changed???
No. No it was not.
But now I have a video to share about the phone! […]
