The most popular Android phone brands rarely sold in the US
These phones are best-sellers elsewhere around the world, but US consumers probably haven't even heard of them. We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Three of the world's top five smartphone makers (Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo) are almost nowhere to be found in US retail. This isn't an oversight; rather, it's the result of carrier gatekeeping, geopolitical friction and business models that don't align with how phones are sold in America.…

But Fairphone has spent years trying to keep the idea alive, and its latest phone brings…

There have been multiple leaks in the lead-up to today's official reveal of more gameplay. While damaging and frustrating…

Meta fixes distressingly obvious smart glasses recording LED loophole
TL;DR Meta’s smart glasses attempt to detect when their recording LED is blocked or tampered with, and will refuse to start filming.

Meta is currently rolling out a fix to correct this behavior. Retro gamers may remember the old PlayStation 1 swap trick: The system would only check disc integrity when…
