  • OnePlus rolls out Android 16 beta to six devices in India ahead of global stable release
    October 12, 2025, 3:50 AM EDT. OnePlus has opened an OxygenOS 16 Open Beta for six models (OnePlus 13, 13S, 13R, 12, 12R, OnePlus Open) in India. Access isn’t fully open: users must submit an application and wait up to five days for approval before manually installing the test build. The beta emphasizes testing and may include bugs; users should back up data. The window runs until October 13. The build previews OxygenOS 16 and hints at AI features like OnePlus’s teased Mind Space. A full public release based on Android 16 is slated for October 16, with a broader rollout planned later, and additional devices (e.g., 11 series, Nord line, Pad lineup) expected in the stable update as regions expand.
  • iPhone 17 Pro vs Galaxy S25 Ultra: Beach Video Camera Shootout in 4K HDR
    October 12, 2025, 3:49 AM EDT. Taking the iPhone 17 Pro to the beach for a real‑world comparison against the Galaxy S25 Ultra in a video camera shootout, this piece tests both flagships at 4K 30fps with HDR enabled. Although higher modes exist, keeping to 4K 30fps makes for a fair read and easier file handling. Specs highlight the iPhone 17 Pro’s triple 48MP cameras versus the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s 200MP main and multiple telephotos. In handheld stabilization tests, the iPhone 17 Pro shows slightly more movement on the main lens, with almost all shake erasing on the ultrawide, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra delivers steadier overall footage. The test emphasizes dynamic range and default color profiles as part of the comparison.
  • Apple retires Clips app: how to save videos, who can still use it, and top alternatives
    October 12, 2025, 3:48 AM EDT. Apple has retired the Clips app and will stop updates for new downloads as of October 10, 2025. Existing users on devices running iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 or earlier can still use Clips, but Apple urges everyone to save their videos before support ends. New downloads are no longer possible, though previously installed users can re-download from their Apple account. Apple provides steps to preserve videos: to save a video with effects, open Clips → Share → Options → Video, adjust settings if needed, then Save Video or Save to Files. To preserve original clips without effects, save the clip to the Photos library and add it to a new Clips album. Alternatives include iMovie, InShot, VN Video Editor, and GoPro Quik.
  • New liquid electrolyte lets lithium-metal EV batteries hit 500 miles on a 12-minute charge
    October 12, 2025, 3:35 AM EDT. Scientists have tackled a long-standing hurdle in lithium-metal batteries by designing a cohesion-inhibiting liquid electrolyte that suppresses dendrite growth. Dendrites—tiny crystalline spikes that form during charging—undermine performance and safety, especially under rapid charging. The new electrolyte ensures more uniform ion deposition on the anode, boosting charge speed and lifespan. In lab tests, a standard version charged from 5% to 70% in 12 minutes and kept that pace over 350 cycles; a higher-capacity variant reached 80% in 17 minutes over 180 cycles. The researchers say the approach could deliver 500-mile range road trips on a single fast charge, with potential lifespans exceeding 185,000 miles (300,000 km). This work lays a foundation for next-gen EV batteries with higher energy density and faster charging.
  • Experts Warn The Internet Could Go Down In A Big Way — Are You Ready?
    October 12, 2025, 3:34 AM EDT. A new warning warns the internet could become unavailable for extended periods due to cyberattacks, aging infrastructure, or grid failures. A FEMA survey shows 57% of Americans aren't prepared for disasters or unsure how to plan. Security expert Robert Siciliano warns the event is not a matter of if but when, urging households to adopt a practical prepper mindset. The article advises creating a backup internet plan and energy sources, including devices that can generate power, sane food/water supplies, and batteries. Experts like Sean Gold advise testing cellular hotspots and considering satellite ISPs such as Starlink for wider coverage. In short: build redundancy, know how to stay online during outages, and keep essential tech functioning when the grid or internet collapses.
