Quantum Computing Stocks Preview for Q3: IonQ, D-Wave, Rigetti and QUBT Earnings
November 1, 2025, 1:58 PM EDT. Quantum computing stocks remain volatile ahead of Q3 earnings as most names remain unprofitable while racing toward commercialization. IonQ reports after the close on Wednesday; D-Wave follows on Nov. 6; Rigetti on Nov. 10; Quantum Computing on Nov. 14. Analysts expect IonQ to post a loss of $0.44 per share despite a surge in revenue on its acquisition spree, while D-Wave is forecast to show a small adjusted profit earlier but an upcoming loss of about $0.06. Rigetti is seen at a $0.05 loss with flat to modestly down revenue. Quantum Computing is projected to report a $0.06 loss with about $100 million in revenue. The sector remains volatile amid competition from Cisco and Nvidia, and ongoing debates about commercialization.
Oppo Find X9 Pro redefines flagship battery life with 7,500mAh
November 1, 2025, 1:56 PM EDT. Dominic Preston tests the Oppo Find X9 Pro and discovers battery life that stands out in years. Thanks to a 7,500mAh silicon-carbon cell, the phone delivered three full days (74.5 hours) and still reached the two-day mark even with the Always-On Display active. Oppo's energy density lets the device remain slim at 8.25mm while matching the heft of flagship rivals; it's not alone-Xiaomi 17 Pro Max and others push past 7,000mAh too. When it does run dry, you can top up at up to 80W wired (or 55W USB-PD), with wireless charging as an option and Qi2 still absent. The camera setup remains strong, and at roughly £1,099 / €1,299, the Find X9 Pro argues that long battery life is becoming a standard for high-end Android flagships.
M1 Max vs M5: Should you upgrade based on workload and power efficiency
November 1, 2025, 1:54 PM EDT. Apple's shift from the high-throughput M1 Max to the efficiency-focused M5 makes the upgrade decision workload-dependent. The M1 Max targets sustained performance with a 32-core GPU and 400GB/s memory bandwidth, while the M5 emphasizes lower thermals and better per-watt efficiency at up to a 25W system draw. In practice, the M5 excels in compact, fanless devices and everyday tasks, but heavy graphics, 3D rendering, and ML workloads still favor M1 Max's raw throughput. The M5's 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU deliver stronger single-thread performance and improved responsiveness in short bursts, yet memory bandwidth is about half, impacting memory-intensive apps. For Mac Studio/MacBook Pro owners, choose based on workload mix, battery priorities, and creative needs: if you render or model professionally, M1 Max may still win; for lighter, portable use, M5 is compelling.
Google ends Clock app on non-Pixel Wear OS watches; Pixel Watch unaffected
November 1, 2025, 1:52 PM EDT. Google has confirmed that its Wear OS Clock app will be removed from non-Pixel watches. Pixel Watch users will keep access, but the app will no longer receive updates. Non-Pixel Wear OS devices will lose availability in the Play Store, as Google says other brands now ship their own default clock apps. If you already installed the Clock app on a non-Pixel watch, you can keep using it, but updates won't arrive. Google notes there are other clock apps on the Play Store for Wear OS. The change aligns with broader Wear OS 6 evolution, including the Pixel Watch 4's newer UI and ongoing updates for older Pixels. Some users are unhappy, but Google says the decision is final and competition among watch brands continues to shape the platform.
Three lesser-known free Android apps that make life easier (featuring KDE Connect)
November 1, 2025, 1:34 PM EDT. These three free Android apps prove you don't need paywalls or constant prompts to stay productive. The piece centers on KDE Connect, which creates a wireless link between your Android device and PC for fast file transfers, notification mirroring, and clipboard syncing. You can also control media playback from the desktop, and move photos or screenshots between phone and computer without cloud uploads or cables. The other two apps share the same ethos: straightforward, reliable tools that fade into the background while smoothing everyday tasks.
