» Xiaomi 14 Ultra could be more expensive than its predecessor The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is expected to arrive in the coming months, and it will seemingly be more expensive than its predecessor. This information comes from a very reliable source, actually. Digital Chat Station shared the info, one of China’s most accurate tipsters. He says that the Bill of Materials (BOM) estimation indicates a price increase. The BOM has increased for more than CNY700 ($100), so we can expect the Xiaomi 14 Ultra to get a price hike. The tipster also confirmed that we’ll get a quad camera setup on the back, with Leica optics. The phone will also include Xiaomi’s self-research tech, and that goes for communications, materials, batteries, and more We don’t know when exactly is the phone coming, but it’s coming in the next couple of months based on everything we’ve seen thus far. Its specifications have been rumored quite a few times thus far. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is expected to fuel the device. Four 50-megapixel cameras are rumored. The main unit will be the Sony LYT-900, allegedly, and it will offer a multi-stop variable aperture (f/1.63-f/4.0). A 5,180mAh battery is also rumored, while the phone is said to offer 90W wired and 50W wireless charging support. Yes, a charger will be included in the package, in case you were wondering. An in-display fingerprint scanner is expected, and it will be an ultrasonic one. Xiaomi stuck to optical in-display fingerprint scanners thus far, but that will likely change with the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. A large AMOLED display is also expected with a 120Hz refresh rate. Yes, that will be an LTPO panel with an adaptive refresh rate. Android 14 will likely come pre-installed, with Xiaomi’s HyperOS on top of it.

» An ‘absolutely perfect’ Amazon space heater has just been purchased over 40,000 times, and it only costs $24 TheStreet aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission. We’re starting to approach the time of year when the temperature outside can vary wildly, meaning that our indoor temperatures might just do the same — and for that, space heaters can come in handy as a great alternative to having to turn on the heat for the entire house. One of Amazon’s most popular space heater picks, the Aikoper Space Heater, has just been purchased more than 40,000 times in the past month — yet it’s still just $24 after a 20% discount for Prime subscribers. This space heater has garnered a whopping 15,000 five-star ratings, with shoppers calling it “small but mighty.” It just needs an outlet to plug into, so it’s simple to set up and can follow you around the house as needed, whether you’re working in the office or kicking back by the TV. Shoppers call this easy-to-use space heater “absolutely perfect” for heating up the individual rooms and smaller spaces in their homes, thanks to a user-friendly control panel and powerful-for-its-size output. One shopper, a self-described “always cold” person, says that her purchase has been perfect for heating a small room. Shoppers also really love the space heater’s safety features: They say that if it’s not sitting level it simply won’t run — and if it gets knocked over, or if any part of the machine shows signs of overheating, the shut-off feature “immediately” kicks on. It’ll save you money by not forcing you to turn on your central heating, too — one shopper, who is buying her third one, said that it “definitely helped save on our heating bill last winter and this year [as] well.” Plus, it can take those savings even further by reliably shutting off the heat once the air in the room surrounding it reaches the same temperature you’ve programmed on the dials. Instead of freezing the rest of the winter — or shivering through another evening of Netflix — get cozy by adding one (or two!) of these Aikoper Space Heaters to your carts.

» Microsoft 365 apps are coming to Apple Vision Pro at the right time Apple’s biggest launch in a long time, the Vision Pro, is releasing in a few hours, right on schedule. Priced at $3,499, it is exclusively available in the United States. Even at that price, one report suggests that over 200,000 units have already been pre-ordered. Perhaps, at the same time, Microsoft has announced its share of wishes to Apple as it launches its suite of Microsoft 365 apps on the App Store for Apple Vision Pro. Microsoft has announced “some exciting news” that Microsoft Teams, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, OneNote, and Loop are coming to the App Store for Apple Vision Pro on its launch day i.e., Friday (February 2nd). This means that Apple Vision Pro users can download and use the Microsoft 365 apps as soon as they bring home the big-budget Apple’s “mixed reality” headset. It’s noteworthy that Apple has long called its Vision Pro “an ideal productivity tool,” and Microsoft 365 apps are synonymous with the term. So, it’s no surprise that they’re coming. More importantly, Apple Vision Pro users will be able to use an AI-powered Copilot on the headset. This means they could do things like making drafts, summarizing documents, and creating PowerPoint presentations just by using voice. Well, we don’t know yet but the initial feedback on the Apple Vision Pro seems mostly positive. However, there are concerns about its weight and discomfort during prolonged wear. According to CNET, Apple Vision Pro is well-suited for tasks like using it as a work computer and enjoying movies. Microsoft talks about a focus mode in Word. This will help users avoid distractions or fully focus on completing an overdue assignment. With Teams, your digital avatar can join work meetings, adding a personal touch. PowerPoint offers a special environment for practicing presentations in front of a virtual audience. In Excel, you can easily move documents to other apps by using the headset’s pinch and drag feature. The post Microsoft 365 apps are coming to Apple Vision Pro at the right time appeared first on Android Headlines.

» How We Lost Our Minds About UFOs Attention, ufologists: Nicholson Baker regrets to inform you that your entire movement is easily debunked by investigating Cold War history. At least he eviscerates your extraterrestrial dreams with good cheer and good writing. And he suggests that you bring some proof beyond grainy footage and anonymous sources. I never got into UFOs. I loved science fiction as a kid, enjoyed buglike space monsters as much as the next person, and in 1967 I read Bill Adler’s book Letters to the Air Force on UFOs with fascination and delight, but the actual documentary evidence on offer has always seemed poor. And the abduction stories, which reached a peak in the late ’80s, were just nuts. Not until recently, though, when I worked on a book about secret Cold War weapons research, did I begin to understand how the saucer madness got started.

» Comcast agrees to remove misleading brand name for Xfinity Comcast is waving the white flag in its battle to keep its misleading "Xfinity 10G Network" brand name after facing claims of alleged false advertising. After claiming that its Xfinity 10G Network service was “game-changing,” “self-healing” and “ultra-fast” by seemingly comparing it to 5G, Comcast faced a challenge from T-Mobile last year in February where it questioned those claims and brought forth the issue to the National Advertising Division (NAD) of BBB National Programs. Related: Comcast fights to keep its 'misleading' new name for Xfinity After the NAD did not find evidence that supported Comcast’s claim that the “Xfinity 10G Network” is superior to 5G, it recommended on Oct. 12 that Comcast should discontinue its 10G claims and “use ‘10G’ in a manner that is not false or misleading.” In response to that decision, Comcast filed an appeal. Now, Comcast has lost the appeal as the National Advertising Review Board (NARB) of BBB National Programs agreed with the NAD’s recommendation in a Jan. 31 ruling after Verizon also challenged Comcast’s “10G” claims. “The NARB panel concluded that 10G expressly communicates at a minimum that users of the Xfinity network will experience significantly faster speeds than are available on 5G networks,” said the NARB in its decision. “This express claim is not supported because the record does not contain any data comparing speeds experienced by Xfinity network users with speeds experienced by subscribers to 5G networks.” The NARB panel determined that Comcast should discontinue using the term 10G “when used in the name of the service itself (“Xfinity 10G Network”) as well as when used to describe the Xfinity network.” In response to the NARB’s decision, Comcast said that “although it strongly disagrees with NARB’s analysis and approach,” it will change its advertising to comply with the panel’s ruling. 10G internet could easily be confused by consumers as an upgrade from 5G when both are very different. 5G stands for 5th generation, and 10G stands for 10 gigabits per second. 5G only relates to cellular network connection, and 10G and is only offered for home internet service. 5G is also faster than 10G as it offers faster downloading speeds.

» January 2024 saw the most layoffs in more than 10 years TheStreet's J.D. Durkin brings the latest business headlines from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange as markets close for trading Thursday, February 1. J.D. DURKIN: I’m J.D. Durkin - reporting from the New York Stock Exchange. Here’s what we’re watching on TheStreet today. Stocks were in the green to close out today's session. The Dow closed up over 350 points, the Nasdaq closed up 1.3 percent, and the S&P closed 1.2 percent higher. This comes as investors continue to react to the Fed holding interest rates steady while indicating that a March rate cut would be unlikely. Markets are now pricing in a 38 percent chance of a rate cut in March. Separately, investors are looking ahead to the January jobs report out Friday. Wall Street is expecting the U.S. economy to have added 176,500 jobs last month, with the unemployment rate rising to 3.8 percent. In other news - we know that layoffs have been top of mind in the business world to start 2024, but now we know just how bad it's been. According to a new report by global outplacement firm Challenger, Gray, and Christmas - layoffs in January increased by 136 percent from the month prior. In total, 82,307 workers were let go by U.S.-based employers in the first month of the year, marking the highest number of January layoffs since 2009. In addition to questions around interest rates and 2024 being an election year, the report says these layoffs are also driven by "broader economic trends and a strategic shift towards increased automation and AI adoption in various sectors, though in most cases, companies point to cost-cutting as the main driver for layoffs." The financial sector saw more layoffs than any other industry with 23,238 workers laid off. That was followed by the tech sector with almost 16,000 layoffs, and the food production industry which had roughly 6,660 workers let go. When asked why employees were being laid off, restructuring was the number one response given by employers. And if you’re worried about AI coming for your job, keep in mind that artificial intelligence was blamed for less than one percent of the January layoffs. That’ll do it for your daily briefing. From the New York Stock Exchange, I’m J.D. Durkin with TheStreet.

» Taylor Swift effect on full display as FanDuel prepares for ‘biggest game in history of betting’ The Super Bowl is always one of the biggest betting days of the year, and this year’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers will be no different. Mike Raffensperger, the chief commercial officer at FanDuel, sat down with TheStreet to discuss what he expects to see in terms of sheer betting volume, as well as some of the more popular bets placed. J.D. DURKIN: You may have heard there's a big football game a couple of weeks out. Talk to me about that. You're not familiar. I think it's called the Super bowl, a big, big football. It's the whole thing. I know Taylor Swift will be there. What is the, talk to me about some of the trends overall you're seeing in terms of either the types of wagers you're seeing or the new types of offerings that even first time fans will be able to take advantage of in the run up to the big game? MIKE RAFFENSPERGER: Well, I can confidently say it's going to be the biggest game in the history of betting likely globally, certainly in the United States. So just a little bit of context. We recently had the conference championships where the 49ers and the Chiefs made their way into the Super Bowl that day. FanDuel took more handle, more betting than we did in the Super Bowl last year. And so in terms of anticipating in a couple of weeks what we expect to see Super Bowl, it will break all records, not just here in America, but really internationally for the amount of wagering taking place on one game. There really is nothing like the Super Bowl. You know, look, in terms of the wagers, you'll expect to see, we'll have over 600 different markets, meaning things that you can bet on. That's more than any other Sportsbook in America. Very popular one is who will score the first touchdown. And on that market, I can say the Swifty effect is in full run. Travis Kelce is the number one player picked score the first touchdown in just a couple of weeks here in the Super Bowl.

» The Top 5 Longreads of the Week This story was funded by our members. Join Longreads and help us to support more writers. The horrific trafficking of intimate partners. An homage to Pitchfork. Memories of a childhood spent in a Kentucky kitchen. Risking lives for extreme skiing. And why we need to calm down about UFOs. Christopher Johnston and Erin Quinlan | Cosmopolitan | January 30, 2024 | 3,899 words When someone first suggested that her boyfriend might be trafficking her, Kayla Goedinghaus was incredulous. She was being abused—beaten, drugged, denied money—but trafficked? In time, as Christopher Johnston and Erin Quinlan detail in this gripping story, Goedinghaus came to understand the truth about her situation, which was far from unusual. “As of 2020, an estimated 39 percent of sex-trafficking victims in this country were brought into it by intimate partners,” Johnston and Quinlan write. “Through physical force, manipulation, or fraud, those victims are compelled to engage in sex acts for the trafficker’s benefit. That could mean posing for nudes he secretly sells to cover his gambling debts or sleeping with random men off the street so he can score drugs or letting the landlord watch sex acts through the bedroom window as a form of rent payment.” In Goedinghaus’s case, her boyfriend, Rick, was peddling her as a commodity among his friends, who allegedly included powerful men such as Trammell Crow Jr., an heir to a massive real-estate fortune (and brother to Harlan Crow, the conservative donor who’s been bankrolling Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s lifestyle for years). This piece, then, serves as a corrective to widespread assumptions about trafficking, including who perpetrates it and who is hurt by it. Narratively speaking, the story’s crux is an unlikely friendship. Before Goedinghaus, Rick trafficked his ex-wife, Julia Hubbard, and the two women encountering each other changed everything—indeed, it made this feature possible. “Setting eyes on each other for the first time,” Johnston and Quinlan write, “Julia and Kayla were zapped with an eerie sense of mutual recognition, as though they were standing on opposite sides of a looking glass: Kayla as the new Julia and Julia as the former Kayla. They even looked alike.” —SD Dan McQuade | Defector | January 31, 2024 | 2,944 words I’ve always loved music. I grew up recording music videos set to New Edition, Salt-N-Pepa, and Bel Biv Devoe on VHS with my cousins, and listening to ’80s hip-hop in the tiny back seat of my older brother’s Porsche 914 convertible while he and a friend “cruised for babes.” Bay Area radio stations LIVE 105 and KOME taught me about grunge and alternative rock, and my first underground rave opened the door to a whole new world. In the ’90s, I wasn’t yet reading about music online, still relying on my local Tower Records to discover it: as a customer, combing through new releases and reading issues of Urb and NME, and later as an employee, obsessively organizing its modest “Dance/Electronica” selection and getting recommendations from my coworkers. But I don’t know much about music; I have no formal music education (except for a brief dalliance with the violin) and have certainly never felt confident enough to write about it. So I was drawn to Dan McQuade’s thoughts on Pitchfork, the music publication Condé Nast announced would be folded into GQ. Right at the start, McQuade states that he, too, doesn’t know much about music. But Pitchfork, especially in its early years, helped to fill in the gaps. His writing resonates with me: it’s personal, funny but not snarky, and comes from the heart. He reflects on how Pitchfork’s reviews had influenced him, particularly those of music critic James P. Wisdom. How the site had been a champion of electronic music since the ’90s. And how, in a very ’00s bloggy way, it was an outlet for people to review music but also to express themselves in the process, freely and irreverently, about things they cared about. “Pitchfork not only gave me bands to listen to, but told me how I might think about them,” he writes. Wisdom also puts it nicely, saying that “contextualizing and humanizing how we find and explore music is valuable.” A lovely essay and stroll down memory lane, with links to fun archived reviews. (And +1 for the playlist inspiration: I now have Moby on rotation nonstop.) —CLR Crystal Wilkinson | Oxford American | January 23, 2024 | 3,409 words The Guardian | Simon Akam | January 30, 2024 | 5,932 words I love to ski. Well, I love to ski on a nice clear day, on a nice clear run. Anything too steep or too icy, and I am edging down that slope inch by inch, brow deeply furrowed, sweat beading, pole dragging behind me (as if that would stop me). I am in awe of people like Jérémie Heitz, who can sweep down an impossible cliff face with such grace it becomes poetry, poles firmly up front and part of a fluid, gliding movement. Heitz’s specialty is at the extreme end of professional freeriding—his descents are so steep the gradient is twice that of some “expert” ski resort terrain. Simon Akam describes these icy peaks so vividly I could feel my heart pounding in my mouth as “Heitz slid sideways down the first few meters, made a turn, and then cut down onto the highest grey smear of ice.” He is committed to his reporting—even skiing with Heitz and completing some terrifying runs himself. But this piece is more than a litany of daredevil feats: it’s a reflection on the nature of extreme sports and the sponsors who support them. Heitz has lost 20 friends—normal in this world. Can that ever be worth it? —CW Nicholson Baker | New York | January 31, 2024 | 6,751 words Close Encounters of the Third Kind filled me with wonder as a kid, and an ’80s childhood provided no shortage of material to keep that wonder alive: Flight of the Navigator; The Last Starfighter; E.T. But despite being primed to believe, I’ve never been able to fully accept any of the countless UFO sightings and reports that have emerged over the decades. I never knew why, only that it all felt … vague. And then I read Nicholson Baker’s lively, informed takedown in New York. Oh, I thought. Duh. Regardless of where you land on the believer spectrum, there’s a lot to like here. (Well, maybe not for the full-throated evangelists like Avi Loeb, who claims skeptics and critics “behave like terrorists.”) Baker’s stance is clear from the get go, but his fiction career serves him well, leavening his skepticism with crackling phrases like “wiggy-sounding.” He’s dismissing, but not dismissive, which can be a tough needle to thread. He reports generously, not simply combing through archives but connecting with many of today’s ufology luminaries. None of that, though, shakes his well-grounded thesis: our entire flying-saucer mythology is derived from Cold War weapons research, carried out via high-tech balloons. Sure, I’ll still wonder about what might be out there—hell, it’s logically impossible to think we’re the only sentient lifeforms around—but until there’s something a little more undeniable, I’ll be living on Baker Street. —PR The piece our readers loved the most this week is … Leslie Jamison | The New Yorker | January 15, 2024 | 7,126 words In this excerpt of her forthcoming book, Splinters: Another Kind of Love Story, Leslie Jamison recounts the early months of her daughter’s life. During that period, Jamison juggled a book tour, a teaching career, and the demands of a newborn—amid the growing realization that she wanted to leave her marriage. —KS

In this wonderful book excerpt from Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts, Crystal Wilkinson serves up memories of her childhood in Black Appalachia, spent with Granny Christine in their Kentucky kitchen. This piece is more than mere memoir; Wilkinson reflects on roots that run deep and close, the hefty domestic contribution women make, and preservation as a labor of love. For Wilkinson, recipes transcend ingredients and instructions to prepare a dish. They’re stories imbued with wisdom and experience handed down and across generations from ancestors that remain present in spirit, supervising each new iteration of Granny’s jam cake. “In the corner of my grandmother’s kitchen, spirits shimmered near the bucket of well water, hovered over the olive refrigerator, floated above the flour sifter, and glided around the coal-burning stove,” she writes. Granny Christine’s cake recipe—written in “her perfect cursive” and reproduced in full in the piece—is an incantation that conjures home for Wilkinson: “3 sticks of butter, 2 cups sugar, 2 cups flour, 6 eggs …” Take the time to whisper that recipe to yourself and feel full, emotionally. Needless to say this piece was deeply satisfying; I savored it from beginning to end. —KS4. Precipice of Fear: the Freerider Who Took Skiing to its Limits

» Ulefone Note 17 Pro is the company's first OLED flagship The Ulefone Note 17 Pro is now official, and the company refers to it as its “first OLED flagship”. Ulefone says that this phone marks two firsts for the ‘Note’ lineup. It’s the first ‘Note’ phone with a curved display and the first ‘Note’ device with an in-display fingerprint scanner. Ulefone mainly announces rugged phones which are a part of its ‘Armor’ series. The ‘Note’ series represents more regular phones from the company. The Ulefone Note 17 Pro has a centered display camera hole, rather thin bezels, and two cameras on the back. Those cameras are separated across two camera islands. Both of them sit in the top-left corner. This smartphone comes in three colors, Amber Orange, Pearl White, and Velvet Black. The device is fueled by the MediaTek Helio G99 processor. It also comes with 12GB of RAM, which can be expanded via virtual RAM for an additional 12GB. Ulefone placed 256GB of storage inside as well. There is a large 6.78-inch fullHD+ AMOLED display in use here. This display has a resolution of 2400 x 1080 and a refresh rate of 120Hz. It also has an average brightness of 500 nits. That panel is protected by the Gorilla Glass 5. A 108-megapixel main camera (Samsung’s HM2 sensor, f/1.89 aperture, 6P lens) is used here. In addition to that, you’ll also find a 5-megapixel macro camera (f/2.2 aperture) on the back of this phone. A single 32-megapixel unit (f/2.5 aperture) is used on the front side of the phone. Ulefone decided to use a 5,050mAh battery here. The phone supports 33W wired charging, and it does come with a charger in the box. It also has an optical in-display fingerprint scanner, while face unlock is also supported via the front-facing camera. This phone has two SIM card slots (2x nano SIM), and supports 4G connectivity. Android 13 comes pre-installed on the phone, while Bluetooth 5.2 is also supported here. Ulefone did also include a TPU case in the retail box, by the way. The Ulefone Note 17 Pro is currently available to pre-order, in case you’re interested. Apply the coupon code ‘N17P2024’, and you can get it for a pre-sale price of $279.99. Ulefone is also hosting a giveaway via Facebook. All the necessary links are included below.

» Tons of shoppers are ditching their Dysons for this bestselling Amazon vacuum that’s on sale for $85 TheStreet aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission. Spring cleaning will be here before you know it, so if any of your machines are ready to retire, take this as your reminder to upgrade. Anyone in need of a new vacuum cleaner is in luck because Amazon is offering a special coupon to shoppers buying one of its bestselling models. Right now, the Eureka PowerSpeed Upright Vacuum Cleaner is available for just $85 as long as you apply Amazon’s on-page coupon before adding it to your cart. It’s ranked no. 1 in Amazon’s commercial indoor upright vacuum category and is backed by more than 10,700 five-star ratings from shoppers who swear by it. We understand that a low price point can sometimes be worrisome, but rest assured this corded vacuum delivers high-quality results. It works so well, several people went as far as to say they’re replacing their Dysons with this Eureka model, and one reviewer wrote, “we’ve had it for almost a year and it’s still kicking Dyson’s and Shark’s butts.” This vacuum cleaner uses a powerful motor to provide lots of suction along with a brush roller to pick up everything in its path including pet hair, crumbs, dirt, and debris. It offers five height adjustment settings, making it ideal for cleaning all types of surfaces from hard floors to plush carpets or rugs. Everything it sucks up goes through a washable and reusable filter, and is then collected inside the 2.6-liter dust cup that has a one-button empty function. That means you can dispose of any debris without getting your hands dirty. Along with the main machine, you’ll also receive an upholstery tool, crevice tool, and dusting brush that attach to the cleaning wand. These accessories allow you to clean hard-to-reach areas like baseboards, ceiling fans, and underneath furniture with ease. Not to mention it’ll also save you from having to bend over while cleaning, so no more back pain. It’s rare that a vacuum of this caliber is on sale for well under $100, so we aren’t shocked that it has thousands of rave reviews. One shopper said they’re “super happy with how much it pulled from all the carpets in just one use,” and added that they are “grossed out, but happy.” “When I say that I was both horrified and delighted at what this thing picked up in the first 15 seconds...Jeebus,” another reviewer wrote. “It picked up everything that every other machine has missed since [the] summer of 1994. I have carpet and an area rug and share a space with a cat, a shepherd, and a shepherd mix who all shed like they get paid to do it. This Eureka picked it all up in five minutes of vacuuming.” This is your chance to get a shopper-loved upright vacuum for $85, so make sure to grab one before the Amazon coupon expires.

» The Pixel 8 now has the Circle to Search feature The Circle to Search feature that Google announced back in January has started to roll out to the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. If you have either one of these devices, then you should be able to use it as a means for searching for more information about content on-screen. You can use it virtually anywhere. No matter what you’re browsing or what you’re doing on the phone. Once you circle something, Google will populate a box on-screen that surrounds the item or words you circled. The results of the search then pop up in a panel from the bottom of the screen. Google’s Circle to Search feature is intended to give users a quicker, more intuitive way to gather information about stuff. And it can be a super fast method for finding additional information about products. Say you’re at the grocery store and you see an item you want to know more about. You can simply take a photo of the item, then open that photo and circle it to search for information. Super easy and relatively fast. To use the feature you do have to activate it but that doesn’t take much effort. You can activate it in two ways. Either long press on the nav handle at the bottom if you’re using gesture navigation, or long press on the home button if you’re using the three-button navigation. This brings up the circle to search overlay where you can circle or tap the area you want to search. You can also draw a line over the area you’re searching and that works too. Additionally, it’s possible to add text to the search and potentially more precise results. If you circle to search for something and you don’t get the results you were looking for, you can easily resize the box that pops up and drag it around to see if the results change too. You can use this feature to highlight text as well. To do this, activate circle to search and then tap on or draw a line over any text you want to highlight. Google also makes it possible to scroll around the page to look at something else by using two fingers to scroll around. This feature began rolling out to Pixel 8 devices on January 31. So there’s a good chance you have access to it already. Google does like to roll things out in waves though so don’t be too surprised if it isn’t active on your device yet.
