Apple’s AirPods started it all. No, they weren’t the first true wireless earbuds in the world, but can you name a pair that was released before AirPods? Don’t worry, no one else can either because it was Apple’s AirPods that caused cord-free earbuds’ explosion in popularity. If you have an iPhone and you want cordless buds, AirPods are obviously the most popular choice. And lucky for you, Amazon is running sales on both AirPods models that drop them to their lowest prices yet. Apple’s $159 AirPods with the normal charging case are down to $144 right now, while the $199 AirPods with Wireless Charging Case get double the discount, slashing the price to just $169. That’s only $10 more than you would pay for the base model AirPods if you bought them from Apple, so it’s definitely a terrific deal.

Ride-sharing app Lyft has done something we wouldn’t have seen coming a few years ago when the company was battling Uber for supremacy in the various markets where the two apps are available. Lyft released a massive update that makes the application compete more against navigation apps like the popular Google Maps than Uber and other ride-sharing alternatives. That’s because the Lyft app now has functionalities that extend well beyond the app’s initial purpose. You’ll now be able to find public transportation information right inside the app, in addition to Lyft cars, scooters and bikes, which means Lyft has no problem recommending services that aren’t exactly profitable for the company.

We knew it was coming out on September 25th, and it’s finally here. Mario Kart Tour is available on iPhone and Android, and fans of the series will certainly be thrilled to start playing a version of Mario Kart on smartphones. However, just because you downloaded the game from the App Store or Google Play doesn’t mean you can start racing right away. You’ll first need to register a Nintendo account and log-in inside the app — of course, many people already have Nintendo accounts so that shouldn’t be too much of a hassle. Still, it’s an extra step that might prevent some people from playing the game the second the installation ends.

Remember the old food pyramid from a couple of decades ago? You know, the one that showed you should essentially eat as much bread and pasta as you could stand while ditching fats? Well, with obesity levels at all-time highs and no shortage of research showing carbs are a big culprit, it seems that antiquated diet advice is still being put to use.

A new study published in JAMA focused on dietary habits and how trends have shifted over the past 18 years. I’d like to be able to say that things are getting better, but as the data reveals, that simply isn’t the case, and trash carbs are still a major problem.

Tapeworms might not be the cutest or cuddliest of creatures cooked up by Mother Nature, but what they lack in charm, they more than make up for with a few very special abilities. You see, tapeworms have the incredible power to shed and then regrow huge lengths of their own bodies, and it’s an ability that scientists haven’t been able to fully explain.

Now, new research published in eLife reveals the very special cells that give tapeworms the capacity to generate new bodies. To figure it out, scientists led by Tania Rozario of the University of Wisconsin-Madison had to chop some of the parasites up.

Sony’s hot streak of free games for PlayStation Plus subscribers continues as two first-party, triple-A titles are being given away in October. This is precisely what PlayStation 4 owners were hoping for when Sony opted to stop giving away PS3 and PS Vita games — they wanted quality over quantity, and they’re getting it next month.

The biggest surprise is the addition of MLB The Show 19 to the PS Plus lineup, as the game is only a few months old. It was also incredibly well-received, so if you’re looking for a good baseball sim, this is the game to get. But the other title is no slouch either, as the remastered version of The Last of Us will give PS4 owners a chance to play through the original game ahead of the sequel’s launch, which was just revealed to be February 21st.

Samsung is about to launch the Galaxy Fold in the US, and we’ve already warned you multiple times that it’s a not a great idea to spend $2,000 on the first-gen foldable. Sure, Samsung fixed some of the flaws that affected the review units, but the handset is far from close to being as durable as a traditional smartphone.

As we learned from a recent durability test, the Fold has two issues you should be aware of. First of all, dust, sand, and any other tiny particles can get into the phone and remain stuck inside the hinge. But the more important issue concerns the delicate screen, which is easy to scratch and pierce. Once the screen is destroyed, you’ll have to replace it, and now we know just how much these replacements will cost consumers.

Today has been a surprisingly busy day for fans of console gaming. Just over an hour after Sony wrapped up its latest State of Play live stream, Microsoft is set to hit the airwaves with a new edition of Inside Xbox. Much like State of Play or Nintendo Direct, Inside Xbox is Microsoft’s chance to talk about and show off new games and offer updates on its services, including Xbox Game Pass and Project xCloud, which will soon be available in beta.

The Project xCloud news could possibly make the biggest splash, as Xbox One owners have been anxiously awaiting their opportunity to see if cloud gaming really is the future. We don’t know exactly what Microsoft is going to discuss during the stream, but any news regarding the service will be welcome.
