Finding music for a run sounds easy until you actually try. Your favorite playlist might work perfectly for a relaxed jog, then feel completely wrong when you’re pushing through intervals. And after hearing the same handful of workout songs for the hundredth time, even a good playlist can start feeling painfully predictable. Spotify thinks it has a better solution. Its new Running Mode is now rolling out to Premium subscribers using Android and iOS in the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Sweden, and rather than simply handing you another workout playlist, it builds one around the…

It’s everything around it. The games have already been cooking…

Most US smartphone buyers gravitate towards popular smartphone brands, including Apple, Samsung, and Google. And while there’s no denying that these companies make exceptional smartphones, they all fall short in the department of repairability.  Break the display, and you are looking at repair costs of upwards of $300. Want to change the battery? It’s going to cost you at least $100, and even if you are ready to pay, you cannot repair it yourself.  Fairphone rightly thinks that’s ridiculous, and it just brought its fix-it-yourself philosophy to the US for the first time. What makes the Fairphone actually repairable? A…

Lujan Mourad, Director of the Khalid bin Sultan Al Qasimi Humanitarian Foundation, said: “On World Humanitarian Day, we honour those who place their courage and compassion at the service of others. Their work in the hardest hours makes possible what comes next: the long-term protection, education and stability that allow a child to truly recover from crisis, not just survive it.

Over the last couple of weeks, leaks have already told us plenty about the Galaxy S26 FE. Much of the hardware sounds frustratingly familiar, while the design is unsurprisingly getting minimal changes. Now, a couple of hands-on videos have finally shown something I’m considerably more interested in. Two apparent Galaxy S26 FE units have appeared in real-world videos, including footage shared by TikTok account @_samz02 and another clip reposted on X by Bradley, or @VerdeSelvans. Both show a purple or violet phone carrying Samsung’s newer S26-style camera island, and more importantly, Horizontal Lock appears inside the camera app. Horizontal Lock…
