The Google Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL are Google's answers to the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Apple iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max.

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.

The appearance of an allegedly pre-release device on Weibo has led to speculation that the vanilla Find X8 will debut with a new square version of its predecessor's camera hump; however, as the tipster Li Ang Ang ah points out, that effect is probably created by the kind of anti-leak casing in which the OnePlus Open was also seen prior to its launch.

Unlike phones, most accessories have limited repairability. Take the Google Pixel Watch line, for example. The last year's Pixel Watch 2 could only be replaced, and as the company has recently confirmed, the latest Pixel Watch 3 shares the same story. Most smart rings aren't any different.

Views, thoughts, and opinions expressed in the text belong solely to the author. Today’s gaming laptop GPUs lag far behind their desktop counterparts both in terms of their specifications and performance. The mobile RTX 4090 is a glaring example of this; it’s not even based on the same die as the desktop RTX 4090. Its specs are more in line with the desktop RTX 4080 as both of them use the same chip (codenamed AD103) rather than the larger chip (codenamed AD102) used in the desktop RTX 4090. Longtime Nvidia consumers are rightfully upset about this as laptops toting the mobile RTX 4090 are sold at obscene prices while being marketed as top-end options. The mobile RTX 3080 fared even worse as it wasn't powerful enough to come close to the desktop RTX 3070.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.

Garmin appears to be nearly ready to unleash a new batch of smartwatches, having had a fairly quiet year so far in this regard.

While a lot has been said about the Fenix 8 series in recent weeks, there is also evidence that Garmin has developed a cheaper Fenix E.
