In the past few years, multiple tech executives have told us that glasses could be the next big interface for consumer hardware. And yet, today’s smart glasses rely a lot on phones, even if they have good hardware. Even Realities’ G2 smart glasses are in the same boat. They’re a premium-looking pair of glasses with a neon-style heads-up display you can see in any lighting — but their functionality relies heavily on their connectivity with the phone, which can be** unreliable and frustrating. Even Realities takes a different approach to smart glasses than players like Meta. Their devices have a…

Europa está estudiando propuestas que podrían permitir el cobro de tasas de navegación en el estrecho de Ormuz, siempre y cuando los peajes no sean obligatorios y cuenten con el apoyo de la agencia de la ONU que regula el transporte marítimo. Irán mantiene el pulso por el control de Ormuz: por qué el futuro de la tregua con EEUU se decide ahora en el estrecho El viceprimer ministro británico, David Lammy, afirmó que la imposición de peajes obligatorios sería desastrosa.

The Twins claimed right-hander Jack Anderson off Boston’s waiver wire, as initially reported by 7 News’ Ari Alexander.  Minnesota has officially announced the claim, as well as the corresponding 40-man roster move of shifting Anthony Banda from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL.  (Banda recently underwent a lat surgery that will sidelined the left-hander for the rest of the season.)

The judge who presided over the Proud Boys leaders’ trial saw no basis to preserve the convictions…

Mexico’s World Cup run gave way this week to two of the country’s most persistent storylines: the fallout from the “El Mayo” Zambada case and economic uncertainty tied to trade and global conditions. El Tri’s tournament ended Sunday with a 3-2 loss to England in the round of 16, a result Sheinbaum called the team’s best World Cup performance despite the early exit, and the match itself became the most-watched soccer broadcast in Mexico this century. By Tuesday, attention shifted to a sharper dispute with Washington. Sheinbaum used her press conference to ask who lied about the U.S. role in…
