Spending another $129 to get the Apple Pencil Pro after upgrading to the latest iPad Pro and iPad Air devices is a hard pill to swallow. That pill is a little bit smaller now, thankfully. It’s currently discounted to $99 ($30 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Target, the latter available with a free Target Circle membership. That’s a new all-time low price.
The USB-C Apple Pencil (regularly...

The breach stems from a security incident at Financial Business and Consumer Solutions (FBCS), a debt collection agency Comcast previously used, according to a filing with the state of Maine on Friday reported by Bleeping Computer and TechCrunch.
FBCS revealed that it had suffered a breach in February, exposing the...
Black and Latina women are starting to land top positions at some of the biggest unions in the U.S.
Women make up roughly half of U.S. labor union membership, but representation in top level union leadership positions has lagged, even in female-dominated industries and particularly for women of color.
But Black and Latina women are starting to gain ground, landing top positions at some of the biggest unions in the U.S. That has translated into wins at the bargaining table that focus more...
Activists Asian Americans United is trying to stop a basketball arena for the Philadelphia 76ers at the edge of Chinatown.
Vivian Chang works on a narrow Philadelphia street that would have been consumed by a Phillies stadium had Chinatown activists not rallied to defeat the plan in the early 2000s. Instead of 40,000 cheering fans, the squeals of young children now fill the playground at Folk Arts-Cultural Treasures Charter School, which opened in 2007.
“We’re standing right where the...

Liberty players kept ‘receipts’ on Aces’ comments from last WNBA playoffs, according to Breanna Stewart.
After the New York Liberty’s defeat of the Las Vegas Aces in Game 4 on Sunday, Breanna Stewart sat at the podium and reflected on the Liberty’s journey to get back to the WNBA Finals.
Last October, it was Stewart and her teammates who were eliminated at the hands of the Aces in a heartbreaking Finals loss that came at home,...

On an NFL Sunday filled with incredible moments, this completion from Jordan Love to Jayden Reed stands out
Sunday was a bizarre day of NFL football.
We had multiple 100-yard touchdowns in the late-afternoon window, one a 102-yard fumble return from the Seattle Seahawks, the other a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown from Patrick Surtain of the Denver Broncos. We saw the Arizona Cardinals upset the San Francisco 49ers, the Jacksonville Jaguars...
Not Grimace!
If you think for a second that a sports director isn’t capable of cinema the caliber of Martin Scorsese then you best think again. On Sunday evening the Phillies took Game 2 thanks for some Nick Castellanos magic with a ninth inning walk-off, and the saddest eyes in the building were those of Grimace, McDonald’s anthropomorphic milkshake.

Stefon Diggs’ reaction to his post-game handshake with Josh Allen is the best new NFL meme.
The Buffalo Bills and Stefon Diggs had perhaps the most notable divorce of the NFL offseason this past spring. The Bills traded the star wide receiver to the Houston Texans for a second-round draft pick, ending one of the league’s most spectacular QB-WR connections with Josh Allen.
Allen was phenomenal on the Bills, averaging 1,343 yards receiving and more than nine touchdowns per year...

Persona is one of the rare video game series where people actually talk about the menus. They’re functional, sure, but they’re also so incredibly stylish that you almost don’t mind constantly pausing to equip gear or heal your party. So when I had the chance to talk to longtime Persona director Katsura Hashino about his new game, Metaphor: ReFantazio, which continues this tradition of beautiful menus, I had to ask how they do it.
The answer, as Hashino explains it,...

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sales event begins tomorrow, but the best tech deal around may have already landed early. The Sony WH-1000XM4 noise-canceling headphones have dropped to a new all-time low of $129.99 ($220 off) at Target (be sure to click “shipping” on the latter for in-stock availability) — and unlike many of the upcoming Prime Day deals, you don’t have to be a Prime subscriber for this one.

Nissan is coming aboard vehicle-to-grid (V2G) EV integration company ChargeScape as an equal investor, alongside founding automakers BMW, Ford, and Honda.
Once the investment transaction is complete, Nissan said it plans to roll out ChargeScape’s services to its electric vehicle customers in the US and Canada.
Formed last year (with operations starting in September), ChargeScape built a software platform that wirelessly “talks” to EVs and utility companies,...
That’s a cheap OLED. | Image: Sansui
Last week, Sansui debuted a new 4K 120Hz 55-inch OLED TV (S55VOUG) that’s available for between $799 and $899 “depending on retailer promotions.”
That’s quite a price, considering that a “cheap” OLED is normally priced over $1,000 outside of temporary discounts. Sharp released a Roku TV with similar specs at $1,499.99 last year, and LG’s B4 launched at $1,699. Sansui’s TV sits more in the budget range of some Mini-LEDs like the...
The threat of an escalating conflict between Israel and Iran has created an “extraordinarily precarious” global situation, sowing alarm about the potential economic fallout.
Two men in Israel and Gaza talk about how their lives have changed.
A new update on iPhone allows users to add new text effects to their entire messages — or just specific words. You can make words big, small, bold, italicized, underlined, or struck through. But you can also make the words shake, nod, explode, ripple, bloom, and jitter. This is going to revolutionize the way I thank door dash delivery drivers.
It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it, but the first step is imperative: you've got to update your phone and download iOS 18. As a reminder,...
