When I asked an audiophile nerd friend who he thought these air-purifying headphones were aimed at, he said that they’re for Bane from Batman: The Dark Knight Rises “when he gets a job at a call center.” And he might be right. “These headphones are clearly meant to be used by people who live in heavily-polluted areas,” Troy Portillo, musician and online learning expert, told Lifewire via email. “However, there are often correlations between poverty and areas of high pollution levels, so there is an obvious disconnect with these headphones costing almost one thousand dollars....

The commission aims to make USB-C the sole type of connection used for the charging cables found with smartphones, video game consoles, etc. The explanation is that it will be more convenient for consumers and reduce the amount of e-waste created by redundant accessories. The move also aims to stop the practice of chargers being bundled with new devices, as this often results in drawers full of useless cables. “With our proposal, European consumers will be able to use a single charger for all their portable electronics—an important step to increase convenience and reduce waste,” said Thierry Breton, the EC’s internal market commissioner, in the announcement....

exFAT vs NTFS: Overall Findings The most important consideration when deciding between these two file systems is the systems to which you will attach the drive. For example, you may connect removable storage like USB sticks to systems running Windows, macOS, Linux, or even Android. In this case, the wider overall support of the exFAT filesystem will make your cross-platform work a lot easier. On the other hand, if you’re confident the drive will be used exclusively in Windows (as your computer’s internal SSD would likely be), go NTFS....

While most cameras are capable of digital zoom, the in-camera post-processing can sometimes interfere with your results, leaving you with underwhelming resolution and low-quality pictures. Optical zoom, on the other hand, uses a series of lenses to enlarge the subject in your exposure without digital manipulation, ensuring that your subject is limited only by the megapixel (MP) rating of your camera’s sensor. Optical zoom cameras are ideal for all sorts of shots, including travel, landscape photography, sporting events, wildlife, or any situation where you’d like to get closer to your subject without sacrificing image quality....

It’s Freecast’s supposition that keeping track of and managing multiple streaming services (what’s available where, what costs what, etc.) is too complicated for some users. This is why it believes having a single streaming platform to act as a central hub for multiple services is what will get more people to embrace internet-fed digital video. According to FreeCast, this service (which it’s calling SelectTV) will be able to display and manage hundreds of free and subscription-based streaming channels and platforms....
