  • Early One UI 8.5 build hints at Galaxy S26 trio designs
    December 6, 2025, 10:56 AM EST. An early One UI 8.5 build hints at Samsung's Galaxy S26 launch and confirms a familiar design across the trio: S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra. Android Authority notes codenames M1, M2 for the regular and Plus, and M3 for the Ultra, with three vertically aligned cameras on the regular and Plus and extra sensors on the Ultra. The S26 Edge design is not present, strengthening the idea that the Plus has retaken the middle-child role. With Unpacked on the horizon, the official reveal is shaping up to be a major event in early 2026.
  • Apple Watch Series 11 Set for Lowest Price Ever as Target Ad Points to $299.99 Deal
    December 6, 2025, 10:54 AM EST. Tech outlets note that after Cyber Monday lows, a new Target holiday ad signals the Apple Watch Series 11 will drop to $299.99 next week. Current promos hover around $70 off with Costco celebrating at $305 shipped for members. The ad's details are sparse, but analysts expect the discount to apply to all base 42mm and 46mm models (likely GPS and GPS+Cell), with price matching from other retailers-potentially online across major retailers-on Monday, December 8, 2025. If confirmed, this would be the lowest price seen for the series to date, beating current Amazon listings and earlier deals.
  • Cosmic rays blamed for JetBlue midair scare: how single-event effects threaten aviation and medical devices
    December 6, 2025, 10:52 AM EST. Cosmic rays are being blamed for a midair scare when a JetBlue flight from Cancun to New Jersey suddenly descended. The event illustrates single-event effects in electronics: high-energy particles cause bit flips in memory, potentially triggering a system reset. The risk isn't limited to planes-the incident also affected passenger devices like Marie Moe's pacemaker, which switched to backup due to cosmic radiation-induced bit flips. Aviation regulators responded with airworthiness directives for affected Airbus models, warning of possible uncommanded elevator movement. Airbus says a corrupted value in the elevator-control software was fixed fleet-wide. Delta reported compliance with the directive, with no impact on operations. Researchers warn these events may rise as technology shrinks, prompting continued efforts to mitigate single-event effects and improve system resilience in aviation and medical devices.
  • Lost or stolen iPhone? It can be found even when powered off via Find My Network
    December 6, 2025, 10:50 AM EST. Even when an iPhone is completely powered down, it can still be located thanks to Apple's Find My Network. The feature works if you enable Find My iPhone, Find My Network, and Send Last Location before loss. To verify, check the Control Center for "iPhone Findable After Power Off." If you have another Apple device, open the Find My app and view your device in the Devices list; you can tap Play Sound to emit a loud alert. If stolen, use Mark As Lost to lock the device, disable Apple Pay, and display your contact message. You can also track via a web browser at iCloud.com/find. Remember, a common weakness is thieves potentially disabling tracking from the lock-screen control center.
  • SpaceX Falcon 9 Starlink mission liftoff from Cape Canaveral on December 7, 2025
    December 6, 2025, 10:34 AM EST. SpaceX is set to launch a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 29 Starlink satellites from Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center near Cape Canaveral, Florida. Liftoff is scheduled for Sunday, December 7, 2025, with a launch window of 4:40-8:40 p.m. ET. Depending on weather and cloud cover, the Space Coast sky may reveal the rocket from spots like Daytona Beach to Vero Beach. The mission marks another step in expanding the Starlink network.
