Even though it is December, Apple will not stop launching new devices and services. Yesterday he surprised most of us when he revealed his AirPods Max, the company’s long-rumored on-ear headphones, along with a concrete release date for Fitness +. The company’s workout subscription service will land on December 14, while the AirPods Max (available to pre-order today) will ship on December 15, provided you’re willing to spend $ 549.
It’s a lot of money for on-ear headphones, which feature active noise cancellation (ANC), hands-free Siri access, adaptive EQ, and spatial audio, plus what Apple calls “incredible high-fidelity audio.” The AirPods Pro (which are smaller buds, it’s true) sell for less than half ($ 249) at Apple stores and sneak under $ 200 elsewhere.
And if you want to use the AirPods Max as wired headphones, be prepared to pay $ 35 for an adapter, which hits our wallets a bit more – many wireless headphones in the $ 500 region include things as a courtesy.
We will hold further lawsuits until an Engadget editor has had a chance to test these headphones. Apple may have the effortless interface and connectivity, but when it comes to headphones at this price, can the audio quality of the AirPods Max outperform the efforts of Sony and Bose?

He added that developers are looking to implement “a more permanent solution” as soon as possible.

Almost $ 3,000 is too much for a Windows tablet.
Lenovo’s latest ThinkPad is different from the rest as it is built around a flexible 13.3-inch OLED screen. The good news is that the $ 230 companion keyboard, which allows you to use it like a laptop, is surprisingly comfortable, and the X1 Fold ran for over 13 hours in our dead battery test. The bad news is just about everything else: This first-generation product is an “expensive experiment” with many more reasonably priced alternatives.

Its days as a “tube site” are over.
After New York Times This article delved into PornHub’s lackluster efforts to keep videos of children or assaults off their platform, Visa and Mastercard began investigating their relationship with their parent company. That was apparently enough to drive significant changes, as the company announced that it will end uploads from unverified users and block content downloads immediately.
Although the company will still allow users to upload their own videos, starting next year it will first require people to complete an “identification protocol” to verify their identity.
