The Oukitel C50 is available for purchase now, with specs that make it well worth its $200 price tag. With more than enough horsepower, this $200 Android phone performs like a device twice its price. The lack of an App Drawer (by default) was off-putting, but that can be overcome...

How to Find Deleted Phone Numbers on Android

Google’s second foldable phone, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, has arrived. The good news is its eight-inch inner display is the largest on a folding phone, edging out the OnePlus Open’s 7.8 inches. Of course, it also gets the latest Tensor chip (and more memory). The bad news, if you were hoping for a price drop with this generation, is that the second-gen foldable costs the same $1,799 as its 2023 predecessor.

Cooking With Maryann

A good pizza sauce makes ALL the difference in the flavor and end result of your dish. Personally, I've not found any commercially processed pizza sauces that don't taste.... fake, so I made my own. I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes in a can as they tend to taste a bit metallic, but you use what you've got and it's 1000 times better than storebought. Fresh tomatoes are in season right now though, so if you can get them fresh, more power to ya!

Google’s big Pixel event was packed with phones, and the company has redesigned them all. No more Cyclops camera band, now it’s an Among Us camera oval. That’s across all the Pixels (barring the new Pixel 9 Pro Fold). There are new flattened sides and softer corners, making these phones look more like iPhones than ever before.

The Morning After: The biggest reveals from Google’s Pixel 2024 event

It's coming up on six months since I first got my hands on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Samsung's big, boxy beast has been in my rotation of phones for most of the year so far as it's gone through successive software updates, so it's time to sit down and think through how this phone has held up going into the second half of 2024.

Water exists on Mars, according to a team of geophysicists, and not just as ice on its poles or as vapor in its atmosphere. The scientists have found evidence of liquid water deep in its outer crust, based on their analysis of data provided by NASA's Mars Insight Lander. Specifically, they analyzed four years' worth of ground motions recorded by the lander's seismometer. By looking at seismic velocities, or how fast seismic waves travel on the planet, they were able to determine the materials that the waves moved through. What they found was that Mars' mid-crust has fractured igneous rocks saturated with liquid water.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.

One device that didn’t get a main stage reveal during yesterday’s Made by Google event is the company’s new 45W USB-C charger. That’s not entirely surprising given the new Pixel 9 lineup, the Pixel Watch 3, and the Pixel Buds Pro 2 were overshadowed by Google’s artificial intelligence efforts.

Google’s inclusion of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold foldable in the Pixel 9 series must have been a massive surprise if you weren’t paying attention to all the Pixel 9 rumors that preceded Google’s big press event on Tuesday. The name isn’t the only big change coming to Google’s second-gen Pixel Fold model.
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold has a much better design than the first-gen version. It’s also significantly thinner than the Pixel Fold and even thinner than the recently launched Galaxy Z Fold 6, one of its main rivals.
