The DJI Osmo 360 offers a slightly different design than other 360-degree cameras. It doesn’t follow the tall, stick-shaped profile that has become Insta360’s signature. Instead, it’s shorter and more brick-like, with a wider screen. It measures 61 × 36.3 × 81 mm and weighs approximately 183 grams. For context, this makes it slightly lighter than the Insta360 X5, which weighs around 202 grams, and a bit taller and narrower than the GoPro Max. The larger screen gives it a more camera-like feel than most 360 competitors, which is helpful when you’re holding it with one hand. On the front…

Linaimages/Shutterstock A recent AP-NORC 2025 survey of more than 1,000 adult participants showed that more than a third of the U.S. population always or often uses captions and closed captions. This number increases among young adults, with 40% of people aged 18 to 44 always or often using this feature, and almost 70% using it at least sometimes. Why exactly are so many people using closed captions now, and why are younger people – primarily Gen Z – much more likely to use closed captions? Today’s young people are at…
Mr. Faisal Riza/Shutterstock Microsoft has refreshed its Xbox Series X/S controllers to eliminate the expansion port, meaning it’s another Microsoft feature sent to the tech underworld. There’s a good reason this refresh removes the port, as neither Microsoft nor its hardware partners have created a significant accessory compatible with it in years. The expansion port, as we know it, was introduced with the Xbox 360, its primary use being as a keyboard or headset connector. It makes perfect sense to start the port, as Xbox and its accessory partners have…

Apple consistently asserts that “privacy is a fundamental human right.” At every iPhone launch, WWDC keynote and interview, the company emphasizes that, unlike its competitors, it does not collect or sell personal data to third-party companies. However, as Apple seeks to increase revenue through its advertising service, its practices have come under scrutiny. It started with suggested apps in the App Store, followed by an increase in featured ads and, more recently, suggested businesses in Apple Maps. Following the WWDC 2026 keynote, Apple began rolling out personalized recommendations to the App Store, saying they…
The trip to China always starts a few days before the actual trip. Due to internet restrictions, commonly used services such as Google and Meta apps are virtually impossible to access. You need to choose a VPN, buy an eSIM and create your Alipay account, which is one of the few ways to pay for goods and services in the country. Still, nothing beats the excitement of traveling the world to see cutting-edge technology being developed. After an exciting Computex 2026, which showcased Nvidia’s first Arm-based superchip and Intel’s new processor for handhelds, Lexar…
The World Cup has only just started, but Beats has been teasing its mysterious new headphones for a few weeks and has been spotted with soccer superstars Lamine Yamal and Antonee Robinson. FIFA had to force Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala to cover up the brand’s logo on his pair after he wore the unannounced Beats headphones before a match. The Apple subsidiary is not one of the official sponsors of the World Cup, so players cannot be seen with brands that are not part of the deal. Shortly after, Beats posted a photo on…
lilac/Shutterstock Although Google has two popular navigation apps for iPhone and Android, the Waze and Google Maps experiences are not identical. Waze offers a simpler navigation user interface that focuses on community information, with incident reports used to improve real-time navigation. Google Maps is more complex, offering more detailed maps, as well as several features allowing users to discover nearby places of interest and Gemini AI integration. Over time, Google integrated Waze’s incident reports into Google Maps, without turning Waze into a replica of Google Maps. But Google has worked…
Last fall, Google announced that it was working on an all-new Google Home speaker, scheduled for release in mid-2026. And while it took a little longer than expected, the company today began taking pre-orders for its latest speaker ahead of its official on-sale date of June 25. While the new Google Home fulfills a similar role to the existing Nest Audio, including the ability to function as linked stereo speakers when paired with a second unit, there are a number of other design changes and upgrades. Instead of relying on directional sound, Google Home was created to deliver clear 360-degree…
