It's August 9, 2022—National Book Lovers Day. We know videos and podcasts are appealing, but today, maybe pick up a good book and spend some time reading instead. Novels are pretty good, y'know? And, yes, audiobooks are fine. | | ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds | | Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): | 261 articles, 7 podcasts, 10 press releases, 319 tweets, and 18 YouTube videos | | 1. The LG Tone Free T90 Earbuds Could Compete With AirPods | LG just surprise announced Tone Free T90 earbuds, stuffed with nifty features to rival the competition. They're equipped with Dolby Atmos, allowing users to feel like they're at the center of whatever they listen to. They're due to release at the end of August, but pricing is still a mystery. Ugh. Tell us, LG! | 2. Samsung Launches One UI 5 Beta for Galaxy S22 Smartphones | Those eager to try out new Galaxy S22 features should sign up for Samsung's new One UI 5 beta. Available in the US, Germany, and South Korea, S22 owners can play around with new color schemes, widgets, sound settings, accessibility options, and more. Just be ready for some pre-release jankiness. | 3. Nintendo Sets 'Splatoon 3' Presentation for August 10 | | Cyclists should be thrilled to see Apple make Maps better than ever with turn-by-turn audio directions. According to Charlie Sorrel, they're way better than frequently checking a map and make cycling in traffic safer. Nice. | | People still like AirPods | | Data: Counterpoint Research | | Earbuds were pretty popular last year... if you were Apple's AirPods. That's not to say people didn't consider other options, but based on the graph above, there was a clear winner. Well, technically, "Others" did better than Apple, but those companies aren't really working together. | | "Slap it on and forget it." —Jerri Ledford, Senior News Editor | | ๐ You Know You Want It | Time to add a new electric bike to the garage (or closet), and we think the Cowboy 4 is a good choice. It has all the capabilities you'd expect from an ebike, a docking station for your phone, removable battery, and more. So go grab one for yourself and take it for a ride. | | And I would walk 500 miles... | People whose mobility has been impaired by sclerosis or cerebral palsy may be happy to know about a new wearable leg sleeve from Cionic. It's meant to improve walking and leg strength, and we hope it works out so everyone who needs it can benefit from it. Good going, Cionic. | | | |
