• This Tiny 90,000 RPM Air Duster Doubles as a Portable Fan + 10,000mAh Power Bank
    www.yankodesign.com
    I bought my mum a portable fan this year we live in a city that can sometimes hit upwards of 110F (43C) in the summers, and when youre in the outdoors, thats a recipe for a heat stroke. This portable fan, which I picked up online, does the basics well. Its tiny, has 5 fan speeds, and even doubles as a room-temperature hair dryer but thats about it. It doesnt have any added features, cant charge devices, doesnt have any modules, and wont function as anything more than just a personal fan. It got me thinking the techs all there, all you really need to add to it is modularity and this fan can be so much more. Needless to say, I wasnt the only one having those thoughts, given that the Halo modular duster is quite literally the device I had in mind.About the size of a granola bar, the Halo is a modular duster that combines a powerful fan with a powerful battery. The fan outputs a staggering 90,000 RPM (enough to work as a handheld blower), while the battery has a capacity of 10,000mAh. Together, theyre unstoppable, but separate them and youve now got something far more interesting a fan that can be run via USB-C while a battery pack that can operate as a power bank. The modularity extends in other directions too, like a nozzle that allows to channel the fans air into a concentrated stream for blowing dust or even for inflating objects like pool paraphernalia.Designer: HaloClick Here to Buy Now: $109 $219 ($110 off). Hurry, only 368/500 left!The entire device looks fairly Cyberpunk-ish, with its metal exterior, chiseled form, RGB light, and LED screen. This design aesthetic bestows a kind of seriousness to the product, highlighting its power and capabilities. The Halo comes as a single device, with the fan snapped on top of the battery, creating this handheld baton-like form thats perfect for holding and pointing either at yourself to keep you cool during the hot summer months, or at a dusty surface to blow the dust and debris away, whether its an old skateboard/bicycle, or cheetos-crumbs on your keyboard (hey, it happens!)Split the two apart, however, and youve got individual modules that handle their own tasks fairly well. The fan mounts onto a direct power module that lets you connect a USB-C source to power the blades, with a tripod mount on the bottom to let you place the gizmo on your desk facing you while you work. Or hey, facing your CPU that might get heated while running an AI model locally, or playing a high-intensity game.The fan outputs a staggering 90,000 RPM (for example, a computer fan spins at 5000 RPM, a planes turbine spins at 25,000 RPM). Obviously size plays a major role in the output of a fans breeze, but at 90,000RPM, its safe to say that even though the Halo has a tiny fan, its very powerful, outputting winds at 39m/s. The wind is enough to feel comparable to a strong breeze (with 5 speed settings), and channel it with the nozzle and it becomes even more potent, helping blow dust off objects like a dust-buster would. The nozzle can even be used to inflate things, like balloons, toys, pillows, or even pool/swimming accessories.Meanwhile, the battery model is an absolute unit too. With 10,000mAh of capacity, its powerful enough to run the fan but also to charge devices like your phone, tablet, earbuds, or any other portable tech device. An LCD screen on one side displays charging information, battery capacity, and other relevant details, making the Halo a little more advanced than your average plastic-brick power bank. The entire battery (and the fans enclosure) is machined out of aluminum too, giving it a distinct aesthetic while helping dissipate heat. And if all that wasnt cyberpunky enough, the battery module even sports an RGB light strip on the side, adding to its overall appeal.Each Halo comes in 4 parts the fan and battery, along with the accessories, i.e., the power module and the detachable nozzle for the fan. The kit starts at $109, and an extra battery pack costs $69 if you dont like the idea of waiting while your Halo charges. The Halo ships globally with a 1-year warranty on the entire device. Grab yours now before the summer gets too intense!Click Here to Buy Now: $109 $219 ($110 off). Hurry, only 368/500 left!The post This Tiny 90,000 RPM Air Duster Doubles as a Portable Fan + 10,000mAh Power Bank first appeared on Yanko Design.

  • Jaguar Land Rover pauses US shipments over Trump tariffs
    www.theverge.com
    Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) says its delaying shipments to the US this month while it works out how it will deal with the wide-ranging tariffs President Donald Trump announced this week, according to The Guardian.As we work to address the new trading terms with our business partners, we are taking some short-term actions, including a shipment pause in April, as we develop our mid- to longer-term plans, JLR told The Guardian. The automaker is responding to a 25 percent Trump-ordered tariff on imported vehicles that went into effect Thursday and could add $5,000 to $10,000 or more to the price of a new car in the US. JLR said this week that its business remains resilient, but those living in the town where its cars are made werent optimistic, with one telling The Guardian that the tariffs could lead to job losses. About a quarter of the 400,000 vehicles JLR sells every year go to US buyers, as The Sunday Times notes in its own story about the pause this morning. Its thought that the automaker has enough existing US stock to last about two months, and it would take about 21 days for more to come once shipments resume, the Times writes. JLR isnt alone in its concerns. Earlier this week, Nintendo blamed Trumps new tariffs as it delayed US preorders of the Switch 2, originally scheduled to start on April 9th. In the wake of the tariffs announcement, the US Stock market lost $6.6 trillion in two days a record, according to The Wall Street Journal and industries are bracing for negative impacts to the cost and availability of just about everything, including the high-powered GPUs used by AI companies, gadgets of all types, and even board games

  • Lazarus, the Original Anime From Cowboy Bebop Creator and Mappa Studio, Premieres Tonight
    www.ign.com
    Lazarus brings together some of the most celebrated names in not just anime but all of entertainment. The completely original sci-fi series is helmed by none other than Cowboy Bebops Shinichir Watanabe, though critic Ryan Guar's review of the first five episodes states that Lazarus is far from a Cowboy Bebop revival. The animation was led by Mappa Studio (Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen) alongside Sola Entertainment (Tower of God), while Chad Stahelski, director of the John Wick movies, designed the action sequences. With so much hype (and a little bit of mystery), it isn't surprising that Adult Swim picked up the anime to air new episodes in the U.S. at the same time as Japan. If youre wondering how to watch new episodes of Lazarus online, check out the details below. Where to Stream LazarusLazarus2052 - A miracle drug turns lethal, and humanity faces extinction. It's up to a team of outlaws known as LAZARUS to save the world. They have 30 days!See it at MaxNew episodes of Lazarus will be available to stream on Max (instead of Crunchyroll or Netflix) the day after they broadcast on Adult Swim. That means new episodes of Lazarus will arrive on Max every Sunday. Max subscriptions start at $9.99 and can be bundled with Disney+ and Hulu. According to a Warner Bros. press release, subbed versions of Lazarus episodes will air and arrive on Max 30 days after the dubbed episodes. How to Watch New Episodes LiveLazarus is airing simultaneously in Japan and the United States. In the States, you can watch new dubbed episodes of Lazarus live on Adult Swim during its Toonami block on Saturday nights. Aside from cable, Adult Swim is included in live TV subscriptions like Hulu + Live TV (which offers a three-day free trial). Lazarus Episode Release Dates The first season of Lazarus will include 13 episodes total. Each episode will air live on Adult Swim before arriving on Max. Note that episodes air at midnight (technically Sunday), but are part of Adult Swim's Saturday block, which is why that date is used. Think of it as you'll be staying up, not waking up, to watch new episodes. Assuming it won't have a mid-season break, here's what I predict the episode release schedule will look like for Lazarus Season 1: Episode 1: "Goodbye Cruel World" - April 5 (12am EST/9pm PST) Streaming: April 6, 2025Episode 2: "Life in the Fast Lane" - April 12 (12am EST/9pm PST) Streaming: April 13Episode 3: "Long Way from Home" - April 19 (12am EST/9pm PST)Streaming: April 20Episode 4 - April 26 (12am EST/9pm PST)Streaming: April 27Episode 5 - May 3 (12am EST/9pm PST)Streaming: May 4Episode 6 - May 10 (12am EST/9pm PST)Streaming: May 11Episode 7 - May 17 (12am EST/9pm PST)Streaming: May 18Episode 8 - May 24 (12am EST/9pm PST)Streaming: May 25Episode 9 - May 31 (12am EST/9pm PST)Streaming: June 1Episode 10 - June 7 (12am EST/9pm PST)Streaming: June 8Episode 11 - June 14 (12am EST/9pm PST)Streaming: June 15Episode 12 - June 21 (12am EST/9pm PST)Streaming: June 22Episode 13 - June 28 (12am EST/9pm PST)Streaming: June 29What Is Lazarus About? In a rare move for the anime industry, Lazarus is entirely original. No manga inspiration here, so no reading ahead to find out what happens. Heres the official plot synopsis from the Lazarus website: The year is 2052 - an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity prevails across the globe. The reason for this: mankind has been freed from sickness and pain. Nobel Prize winning neuroscientist Dr. Skinner has developed a miracle cure-all drug with no apparent drawbacks called Hapuna.Three years later, the world has moved on. But Dr. Skinner has returned - this time, as a harbinger of doom. Skinner announces that Hapuna has a short half-life. Everyone who has taken it will die approximately three years later. Death is coming for this sinful world - and coming soon. As a response to this threat, a special task force of 5 agents is gathered from across the world to save humanity from Skinner's plan. This group is called "Lazarus." Can they find Skinner and develop a vaccine before time runs out?Lazarus Voice Cast and CharactersLazarus was created by Shinichir Watanabe. Here's the main voice cast in Japanese and English: Mamoru Miyano (Japanese) and Jack Stansbury (English) as Axel Makoto Furukawa (Japanese) and Jovan Jackson (English) as DougMaaya Uchida (Japanese) and Luci Christian (English) as ChristineYuma Uchida (Japanese) and Bryson Baugus (English) as LelandManaka Iwami (Japanese) and Annie Wild (English) as EleinaMegumi Hayashibara (Japanese) and Jade Kelly (English) as HerschAkio Otsuka (Japanese) and Sean Patrick Judge (English) as AbelKoichi Yamadera (Japanese); David Matranga (English) as Dr. Skinner

  • Did Donkey Kong Bananza Key Art Accidentally Leak A Big Surprise?

    Image: NintendoSome key art for the upcoming Switch 2 game Donkey Kong Bananza might have been accidentally leaked ahead of schedule.On Nintendo's Korean website, art featuring Donkey Kong and...spoiler...what supposedly looks like a "young Pauline" has been published. It seems we've also got a full art reveal. This discovery follows Nintendo sharing the same graphic (without this character in it) in other parts of the world.Where this really gets interesting though is the fact this character is wearing a purple rock bracelet. It's already led to speculation on social media and elsewhere online that the rock Donkey Kong encounters at the start of the game could potentially "transform" into the character seen in this artwork.There are some even wilder theories doing the rounds, and Donkey Kong lore enthusiasts have also chimed in, but we'll leave it at that for now. One thing we can say for sure is Cranky Kong has been spotted in Nintendo's Treehouse gameplay.

  • Apple's cheapest earbuds just got even cheaper thanks to this new deal
    www.zdnet.com
    ZDNET's key takeaways The Beats Solo Buds are budget earbuds at $80 (and currently on sale for $35 less)Their compact size, fun colors, and 18-hour battery life make them earbuds appealing to Beats devotees Other earbuds offer features these earbuds lack -- like active noise cancellation and Bluetooth multipoint -- for less money. View now at Woot The Beats Solo Budsacross all four colors (Transparent Red, Matte Black, and Storm Gray) are on sale for $59.95.These days, you can buy earbuds with up-to-date features for less than $100, thanks to advancements in and increased accessibility to audio technology, like noise-canceling and sound quality. As a result, headphones and earbuds keep getting better and better -- and you don't have to shell out hundreds of dollars to get a decent pair, making the budget earbuds market more competitive than ever.Also: I picked the 110+ best deals still live from Amazon's Spring SaleSo when Beats sent me the Beats Solo Buds, the company's newest budget earbuds, I was eager to give them a listen. The Solo Buds are Beats' latest venture into budget-friendly audio gear, following the release of its midrange on-ear headphones, the Beats Solo 4.There are plenty of great earbuds out there for less than $100 (some less than $60), so how do the Solo Buds fare in a jam-packed market with so many distinguished competitors? Read on as I try to answer that question. details View at Amazon What are the Beats Solo Buds' best features?Right out of the box, you get a teeny-tiny case shaped for maximum pocketability, four ear tips to ensure a tight fit, and earbuds. The Solo Buds come in matte black, gray, purple, and transparent red. I love the soft purple color option, and the case is convenient for bringing them anywhere. Nina Raemont/ZDNETThe Solo Buds are comfortable to wear with no pressure buildup after continual hours of listening, and I appreciate the four ear tips for XS, S, M, and L ears.The earbuds get plenty loud, and the audio playback from the microphones sounded clear when I recorded a voice note. At 18 hours, the earbuds will surely deliver at least a week's worth of battery life if you use these to exercise at the gym or a few days of desk-side listening as you work at the office.These earbuds will please people who want long battery life and some iOS-specific features for less than $100. The Solo Buds will best serve people who don't require extra features or stellar sound from their earbuds but want a no-frills solution that will do the trick for casual use.What I'd like to see in the next modelI'd like to see Beats pump more valuable features into this $80 pair of earbuds that its competitors include in their products, like active noise cancellation, lighter and less uncomfortable touch controls, an IP rating, in-ear detection, and multipoint Bluetooth.The Solo Buds' sound feels flat and tinny at times, especially at low-to-mid volume. These are earbuds for people who don't demand impressive audio quality and value spending less money on name-brand earbuds. Beats omitted active noise cancellation from the Solo Buds, and I heard everything in my environment when I listened to music. Higher-quality sound and noise-canceling tech would make these earbuds far more competitive. Nina Raemont/ZDNETMost people use earbuds to exercise, and most buds have an official IP rating to notify consumers how much sweat and water their buds can handle before irreparable damage occurs. Unfortunately, Beats chose not to formally IP test the Solo Buds. I asked Beats if the Solo Buds have any protection against water or sweat damage, and a Beats spokesperson confirmed that they have some defense against liquid intrusion. I concluded that Beats likely tested these earbuds for water ingress but excluded an official rating to keep the retail price at $80.Also: Grab a pair of Beats Studio Pro headphones for $170 off on Amazon right nowBeats could improve the the Solo Buds' comfort through touch controls. Unlike other earbuds that use light taps to pause, play, or skip music, these earbuds come with buttons you have to press and click. While pausing and resuming, I had to press hard to get the button to register, which uncomfortably pushed the earbuds further into my ear.My last gripe with the Solo Buds is that the packaging doesn't include a USB-C charging cord. I assume that's because these earbuds debuted in time for the iPhone 15's USB-C-ification; people can use the USB-C cords they already own to charge these buds. By leaving out the cord, Beats can cite environmental friendliness while cutting manufacturing costs. Still, I can imagine some non-USB-C smartphone owners becoming frustrated when they have to search around their house for an old USB-C cord to charge their new earbuds.ZDNET's buying adviceAfter a few days of testing and listening, I've found that the Beats Solo Buds fail to compete with other budget earbuds I've tested and loved. You might be better off looking elsewhere for a pair of earbuds with all the features Beats neglected to add to the Solo Buds. There are a few thoughtful features I enjoyed, but ultimately, I look forward to the improvements and advancements Beats will make in the next model of this product.At debut, the Solo Buds are overpriced; if they go on sale this holiday season for $40 to $50, buy them if you want a pair of bare-bones earbuds. These earbuds are for people who want comfortable, affordable buds with a long battery life. If that's you, you'll enjoy these earbuds.If, however, you want earbuds for even less money that have a charging cord, noise-canceling, and an IP55 waterproof rating, consider the JLab JBuds ANC 3. For stylish earbuds with upgraded software features, consider theNothing Ear (a) earbuds. When will this deal expire? While many sales events feature deals for a specific length of time, deals are on a limited-time basis, making them subject to expire anytime.

  • I hope the Pixel 10 Pro Fold camera is better than rumored, heres why
    www.digitaltrends.com
    Table of ContentsTable of ContentsThe Pixel 9 Pro Fold camera (versus the Pixel 9 lineup)How the Pixel 9 Pro Fold compares to the competitionThe latest Pixel 10 Pro Fold camera rumorsWhere Google could get it all wrongOne of last years best surprises was the redesigned Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Googles second-generation folding phone fixed most of the challenges identified with the Pixel Fold and positioned it as the folding equivalent of the Pixel 9 Pro series.Flagship performance, a squared design, and the iconic porcelain white colorway all helped the Pixel 9 Pro Fold to feel part of the current lineup rather than as a separate product range as Samsung did with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6.Recommended VideosYet, there is one area in which the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is distinctly inferior to its siblings in the same lineup: the camera. The best folding phones have still failed to match their non-folding cousins in the camera, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is no different.RelatedI had hoped that the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro Fold would be different, but while the rest of the lineup will get noticeable improvements, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will have minor changes, at least if the latest rumors are to be believed. Heres why that would be a mistake for Google.Google Pixel 9 (left), Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold Andy Boxall / Digital TrendsLike the Galaxy Z Fold 6, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold features a strong main camera and low-resolution ultrawide and telephoto cameras that feel somewhat like an afterthought. By comparison, the rest of the Pixel 9 lineup features the same strong main camera, but where applicable, paired with better quality ultrawide and/or telephoto sensors.Heres how the Pixel 9 Pro Fold camera compares to the rest of the Pixel 9 lineup:Main cameraUltrawideTelephotoPixel 9 Pro Fold48MP, f/1.7, 25mmdual pixel PDAF, OIS10.5MP, f/2.2, 127PDAF10.8MP, f/3.1OIS, 5x optical zoomPixel 9a48MP, f/1.7, 25mmdual pixel PDAF, OIS13MP, f/2.2, 1201.12mPixel 950MP, f/1.7, 25mmdual pixel PDAF, OIS48MP, f/2.2, 123dual pixel PDAFPixel 9 ProPixel 9 Pro XL50MP, f/1.7, 25mmdual pixel PDAF, OIS48MP, f/1.7, 123dual pixel PDAF48MP, f/2.8, 113mmOIS, 5x optical zoomThe Pixel 9 Pro Fold is the most expensive phone in the Pixel 9 lineup, costing $1,800, but the cheapest phone the Google Pixel 9a, which launches in a few days has a better camera, at least on paper. In particular, the 13MP ultrawide camera will yield slightly better-quality photos than the 10.5MP ultrawide camera on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. For context, the Pixel 9a costs $449, a quarter of the price.Now look at the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL, and the key problem with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold camera becomes apparent. The Pixel 9 is priced at roughly a third of the Fold, yet the ultrawide camera is significantly better. In addition, although the 10.8MP telephoto on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold offers 5x optical zoom, its lower quality than the 48MP telephoto on its Pro siblings.The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold next to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. Ajay Kumar / Digital TrendsAt the time, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold matched the competition, but in the past year, weve also seen some improvements in the key competition. The biggest of these is the Galaxy Z Fold 6, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is nearly identical to Samsungs flagship folding phone. However, looking at the global market, it becomes apparent that Google needs to evolve the Pixel Fold camera.Main cameraUltrawideTelephotoPixel 9 Pro Fold48MP, f/1.7, 25mmdual pixel PDAF, OIS10.5MP, f/2.2, 127PDAF10.8MP, f/3.1OIS, 5x optical zoomGalaxy Z Fold 650MP, f/1.8, 23mmdual pixel PDAF, OIS12MP, f/2.2, 1231.12m10MP, f/2.4, 66mmOIS, 3x optical zoomOppo Find N550MP, f/1.9, 21mmPDAF, OIS8MP, f/2.2, 11615mm, AF50MP, f/2.7, 75mmOIS, 3x optical zoomHonor Magic V350MP, f/1.6, 23mmPDAF, OIS48MP, f/2.2, 11216mm, AF50MP, f/3.0, 90mmOIS, 3.5x optical zoomGoogles key challenge is that these folding phones are more than 1mm thinner and feature better cameras. The Honor Magic V3 set records for thinness last year which stood until the Oppo Find N5 launched two months ago but despite this, it features a compelling 50MP periscope telephoto alongside the 40MP ultrawide. Meanwhile, the Oppo Find N5 also features a 50MP periscope telephoto but pairs with a lower-resolution 8MP ultrawide camera.The periscope telephoto lens on the Find N5 and Magic V3 offers ~3-3.5x optical zoom and a 6x hybrid zoom that relies on a combination of telephoto and AI processing. Throughout the past year, this camera setup has proven to be extremely effective, and given how effective Google has been with inferior hardware in the past, I would love to see what Google could do with this setup.Joe Maring / Digital TrendsUnfortunately, it looks quite likely that well be waiting at least a year to find out. A recent leak revealed that Google only plans major changes for the Pixel 10, not the rest of the lineup. The Pixel 10 will get a dedicated telephoto camera a first for Googles entry-level devices while the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL will feature the same camera as the Pixel 9 Pro lineup.The Pixel 10 Pro Fold? There is a change, and its not what you may expect. The telephoto and ultrawide cameras are expected to stay the same, and instead, Google is rumored to be using the same 50MP main camera found in the Pixel 9a. This will ultimately further enhance my key issue with Googles folding phones.Ajay Kumar / Digital TrendsMy biggest issue isnt hardware-related; its how Google has positioned its folding phone. Using the Pro branding leads to expectations of a Pro experience. While the Pixel 9 Pro Fold camera bears many hallmarks of the Pixel 9 Pro camera, it lacks the overall polish that its Pro siblings have.Samsung faces the same challenges with its folding phones. Oppo and Honor have already proven that it is possible to feature a flagship-quality camera in a folding phone without compromising the other key areas too much.Andy Boxall / Digital TrendsThe Oppo Find N5 features primary and telephoto sensors that wouldnt be out of place on a flagship phone and has proven extremely capable in my testing. Meanwhile, the Honor Magic V3 features three large sensors that would also pass muster on a flagship phone.Folding phones have long meant that customers have to choose and, ultimately, spend more money on a phone with two screens but more compromises. The Find N5 and Magic V3 proved that a folding phone could feature a flagship triple camera, and I had hoped that Google would follow suit, but this rumor suggests otherwise. Will the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 deliver instead?Editors Recommendations
