Huawei’s Mate 20 Pro introduced a neat party trick that I found to be surprisingly useful: It can wirelessly charge other devices placed on its back. A similar featured appeared on Samsung’s Galaxy S10, and now it’s making its way to the 2019 iPhones, according to reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (and via MacRumors). Kuo first hinted at the feature in February, but today he reiterates its arrival, also suggesting Apple will include bigger batteries to make the feature more useful. The timing seems right...

SEGA finally revealed the official release date of the Genesis Mini, its answer to the craze of fun-sized retro consoles that peaked last year.

What’s the secret to growing a successful business? If you’re like me, you’ve probably read countless articles touting the importance of “the hustle” and “the grind.” It’s the idea that you as a CEO should be working 80 hour weeks and pushing your employees to give more of their own time in the effort to build your brand. But as a CEO myself, I’ve learned that all too often business owners can take the “hustle and grind” mentality too far. While you never want to let your million-dollar idea slip by...

Imagine. You spend your formative high school years with your nose in a weighty textbook, at the same time avoiding parties and dating.

It sounds like a joke, but that’s pretty much what happened to one of my friends. Читать дальше...

I’ve been to hell and back – and I loved every minute of it. I took a full week off to play FromSoftware’s latest game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. It kicked my ass, it made me question my life choices, then I kicked its ass and I felt rejuvenated. This past week has easily been among my favorite video game experiences of all time. FromSoftware is a storied Japanese developer best known for the Dark Souls games, and Sekiro is the latest evolution of that ‘series.’ I use that word loosely because Sekiro... Читать дальше...

Welcome to CHEAP, our brand-new series about things that are good, but most of all, cheap. CHEAP! This is my hype. A subwoofer from a fantastic audio brand with a powerful $136.03 off its list price?

It looks like Mark Zuckerberg’s now into blogging. In an op-ed in the Washington Post, the Facebook CEO asked governments around the world to consider introducing more transparent rules for moderating content on the internet. Zuck said that the authorities need to upgrade regulations in four key areas: harmful content, election integrity, privacy, and data portability. Notably, Facebook‘s recent announcements address most of these topics.  Last week, the social network announced it’ll weed out white supremacist content... Читать дальше...

I know this all too well from personal experience. Born and raised in South Africa during apartheid, I was born without voting rights. Witnessing the rise of Nelson Mandela and seeing first-hand how democracy and elections can transform a nation, it left a lasting impression on me. As an entrepreneur... Читать дальше...

Hailing from Hong Kong and launched way back in 2013... Читать дальше...
