Lexar’s new SSD sticks to your iPhone and can survive nearly a 10-foot drop

0


First announced in July, Lexar’s ES5 Magnetic Portable SSD is now available in a 1TB capacity for $119.99 or 2TB for $199.99. A 4TB version is also planned, but availability isn’t expected until Q1 of 2026.

The ES5 is compatible with any USB-equipped device and delivers read and write speeds of up to 2000MB/s. It’s quite a bit larger than Lexar’s Professional Go Portable SSD that debuted over a year ago, but also twice as fast. It’s also compatible with mobile devices like tablets and smartphones, but Lexar is targeting Apple users specifically with support for MagSafe, so you can stick the ES5 to the back of any iPhone model that supports MagSafe accessories. Lexar also includes a metal ring that can be stuck to other devices or surfaces where you might want to mount the drive.

When connected to iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models, the ES5 unlocks 4K Apple ProRes recording at up to 60fps, or up to 120fps with the iPhone 16 and 17. When paired with the Galaxy S25, the drive is fast enough to capture Samsung Pro Video clips at up to 8K/30fps. The SSD also has an IP65 dust and water resistant rating so splashes are okay, but it won’t survive a complete dunking. Should it fall onto dryer and harder surfaces, Lexar says the ES5 is drop resistant from heights up to 3 meters, or just shy of 10 feet.

TRENDING RUMORS

Arsenal remain hopeful of signing Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz in the future, Tuttosport has revealed. The Tukey international has had fine start to this season, scoring five goals in 12 appearances, and, with some of Europe’s biggest clubs circling, the Serie A giants have moved quickly to try and extend his contract by another year. Yildiz, 20, is expected to put pen to paper on a new deal that will run until 2030, but Arsenal remain admirers from afar.

Liverpool are one of several clubs with a long-standing interest in Barcelona center back Ronald Araújo, says Sport. Juventus are also pushing to land the Uruguay international, while Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur both inquired about his availability over the summer. However, the report claims that Araújo wishes to stay at Barcelona this season, as he is targeting a UEFA Champions League triumph under Hansi Flick. The 26-year-old is under contract at Barcelona until June 2031, having joined back in 2020.

– Chelsea could pursue a deal to sign Murillo from Nottingham Forest in January after ruling out a swoop for Marc Guéhi, The Daily Express reports. Guéhi was a Cobham Academy graduate, but a move for the Crystal Palace captain — who is out of contract next summer and set for a move to Liverpool or Real Madrid — is firmly “off the table” at Stamford Bridge. Instead, manager Enzo Maresca could resume interest in Murillo, who was a summer target, as the Brazil international has been a key player for Forest since joining the club in 2023 from Corinthians.

– Out-of-favor Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee is being tracked by Everton and West Ham United, according to TEAMtalk. Zirkzee, 24, has dropped down the pecking order at Old Trafford following the €85 million arrival of Benjamin Šeško in the summer. The Netherlands international is thought to be open to the idea of staying in the Premier League if he does leave United, with several Italian clubs also monitoring his situation, including AC Milan and Como.

Lightning, Panthers rack up 65 penalties in preseason finale

0


Niko Mikkola had an assist on a goal that gave the Florida Panthers an 8-0 lead. Problem was, he had been kicked out of the game a few minutes earlier and nobody noticed.

It was that kind of night between the Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning.

Florida defeated Tampa Bay 7-0 in the preseason finale for both clubs Saturday night, though the score was irrelevant. There were 65 penalties for 312 minutes on the stat sheet, including 13 game misconduct penalties — seven for Tampa Bay, six for Florida. The penalty count kept rising after the game, as officials were making sure everything that was called got logged.

“I have no idea,” Florida coach Paul Maurice said, when asked what message Tampa Bay was trying to send with its style of play. “I’m not worried about it. Training camp is over. We had some good games … and no one was complaining about ice time by the end of it, so it’s over.”

Florida had 17 power-play chances in the game, by the NHL’s count.

“It got silly. It got stupid by the end of it,” Florida forward Evan Rodrigues said. “It wasn’t really hockey out there.”

The parade to the penalty boxes started about two minutes into the game when Tampa Bay’s Scott Sabourin — who was among six players the Lightning called up for the game — went after Florida’s Aaron Ekblad. Sabourin got a major penalty after playing 19 seconds.

“It made you think there might be something coming,” Florida’s Eetu Luostarinen said, when asked what he thought when he saw the Lightning called up players for the game.

What would have been the eighth Florida goal of the night, midway through the third period, was taken away 15 minutes after Jesper Boqvist scored. Off-ice officials realized that Mikkola couldn’t have had an assist on the play — since he had been ejected earlier in the period.

The teams skated with the scoreboard saying Florida led 8-0 for about five minutes of actual game time before officials informed both teams that the goal had been taken away and Mikkola had to leave the game.

The Lightning took nine penalties and had no shots on goal in the third period.

Saturday’s game came two nights after the teams combined for 49 penalties and 186 minutes in another preseason contest, one the Lightning won 5-2.

Tampa Bay went to three consecutive Stanley Cup Finals from 2020 through 2022, winning two titles in that span. Florida has been to each of the past three Stanley Cup Finals and has won the past two Cups. And there has long been a heated rivalry between the franchises.

“I think anybody that’s been a part of this rivalry would probably look at this box score and A, not be surprised and B, I can’t believe it’s taken this long for something like that to happen,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said.

Amy Schumer Debuts Weight Loss Transformation: Photo

Amy Schumer is showing off her figure.

The Trainwreck star debuted a slimmer frame during a recent girls’ trip to Las Vegas with pals Jillian Bell and Alex Saks.

In a photo posted on Instagram Oct. 4, the 44-year-old wore a black short-sleeved minidress with gold buttons and matching open-toe heels as she posed alongside her travel companions, captioning the pic, “My lovies.”

Several of Amy’s followers took note of her apparent weight loss transformation including fellow comedian Amy Sedaris, who commented, “You look incredible. Look at those pins!!!”

Amy—who is mom to son Gene, 6, with husband Chris Fisher—has been candid about her appearance over the years, including her experience with Ozempic. However, the I Feel Pretty actress previously shared that the type 2 diabetes medication, which some celebritities have used to help with weight loss, led to some major side effects.

“I was bedridden,” she explained during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show in January. “I was vomiting and then you have no energy. But other people take it and they’re all good, so God bless them.”

If you can get past the terrible logo, Audacity 4 looks pretty great

0


Rebrands rarely get much love. That backlash can be especially strong if you’re giving a facelift to a decades-old piece of software beloved by nerds around the globe. So, it was no surprise that when Audacity revealed its new logo people on the internet got a little worked up. And look, there’s no two ways about it, the logo is pretty bad. The font it quite nice, but the bewildering take on its traditional headphone icon is rough.

Reactions around The Verge newsroom included “looks like someone stepped on the apple music icon,” and “trying to decide if their new logo looks like a sperm, and am mostly coming up with yes.” But if you can get past the branding, Audacity 4 actually looks like it’s going to be a much needed upgrade.

Martin Keary, VP of product at Muse, posted a nearly hour long video to YouTube detailing the challenges facing Audacity, the logic behind the design changes, and updates on the development of version 4 (slated for release in early 2026). One of the biggest improvements is in minimizing what Keary calls “Audacity says ‘no’”. These are things that Audacity simply won’t let you do, often with no explanation other than a simple pop up (if you’re lucky). He lists off a number of examples:

If you want to drag a clip past another clip, it hits it like a brick wall. No. If you copy a clip and try to paste it where there’s not enough blank runway, no. You don’t have enough room. If you wanted to select multiple clips… no.

Cleaning this up involved changing the behavior of the UI, like automatically trimming a clip if you paste something over it, and getting rid of a bunch of “modes” that limited how you could interact with audio. The team also added meters for individual tracks, made trimming and time stretching easier to find (just click and drag the edge of the clip), and added a split tool that makes cleaning up audio a bit easier.

Some users might be upset that the Sync Lock feature is going away but, as a long time user of Audacity, I can confirm it’s a confusing mess. Working with and keeping multiple audio tracks in sync is a difficult challenge to tackle, but the approached laid out in version 4 makes a lot more sense (to me at least). Add to this a more customizable, modern interface that’s much easier to read and Audacity 4 looks like it’s actually shaping up to be major step forward for the stalwart audio editor. Lets just hope they revisit the branding before the proper release in 2026.

Sources: Napheesa Collier cancels meeting with Cathy Engelbert

0


Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier has canceled her meeting with WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert next week, sources told ESPN on Saturday.

Collier had previously texted Engelbert that she was open to meeting with her next week to discuss the criticism of Engelbert and the league at her news conference Tuesday.

But Engelbert’s assertion at a Friday news conference that Collier’s depiction of a private conversation between them was filled with inaccuracies has “pretty much pushed the relationship beyond repair,” as one source put it.

A league spokesperson told ESPN that Collier had not yet notified Engelbert that she was canceling the meeting.

Engelbert on Friday vehemently denied saying that Caitlin Clark and other standouts “should be on their knees” in gratitude because of the platform the league has given them, as Collier claimed.

“I did not make those comments,” Engelbert said at her annual news conference ahead of Game 1 of the WNBA Finals.

“There is a lot of inaccuracy out there through social media and all of this reporting,” Engelbert added. “I highly respect the players. There is a lot of emotion and passion going on right now between collective bargaining. … I am obviously disheartened.”

Engelbert acknowledged there is a lot of work for her to do to rebuild trust with the players but was confident she would be able to do so.

Players across the league came out in support of Collier and her criticisms of WNBA leadership, including Clark, who said the Lynx star made “valid points.”

Mark Sanchez, NFL Star, Hospitalized After Stabbing

Mark Sanchez is recovering after a chilling encounter.

The Fox Sports broadcaster, who played as a quarterback in the NFL from 2009 to 2018, is “in stable condition” after suffering injuries which resulted in him being hospitalized in Indianapolis Oct. 4.

“We are deeply grateful to the medical team for their exceptional care and support,” the network said in a statement on X (formerly Twitter) Oct. 4. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Mark, and we ask that everyone please respect his and his family’s privacy during this time.”

Sanchez’s agent Andrew Kessler confirmed his client’s condition, telling CBS News, “That is really all I know and can say.”

The 38-year-old was in the city to call Fox’s coverage of the Oct. 5 game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Las Vegas Raiders.

Local authorities said they are investigating a “physical disturbance” involving “two adult males, resulting in one man receiving lacerations and the other sustaining injuries consistent with stab wounds,” according to a statement from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.

This week’s best deal is a ‘kids’ Kindle Paperwhite that’s better than the adult version

0


Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days may bring some great Kindle deals, but if you can’t wait, you don’t have to. Right now, the Kindle Kids (Amazon, Best Buy, and Target) and Kindle Colorsoft Kids (Amazon, Best Buy, and Target) are down to their lowest prices ever, but my favorite deal is on the Kindle Paperwhite Kids, which sits nicely between the two. Normally $179.99, right now it’s on sale for $134.99 ($45 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.

Although marketed as a kid-friendly e-reader, the Paperwhite Kids is actually a great value for adults, too. The 7-inch slate is nearly identical to the standard model, which is our favorite Amazon e-reader, with all the features we loved, like an IPX8 waterproof design and sharp 300ppi display. It’s got an adjustable warm white frontlight, which makes reading at night easier, too, along with a battery life that should last you a few months on a single charge.

The only real difference is the addition of kid-oriented features like parental controls, which you can turn off. Unlike the standard model, each bundle also includes a cover, a two-year warranty, and no lockscreen ads. That’s a great value considering the regular Kindle Paperwhite costs $179.99 without ads — and still doesn’t include extras like a cover or extended warranty. On top of that, Amazon even throws in a six-month subscription to Amazon Kids Plus, which offers thousands of child-friendly books and audiobooks — including classics like Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia.

The Sonos Era 100 delivers impressive sound for its small size, offering more bass and richer sound than its predecessor, the Sonos One. Along with more intuitive physical controls, it also adds new features like stereo playback and support for line-in via an optional 3.5mm-to-USB-C adapter. At the same time, the smart speaker retains support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, along with other conveniences, like Apple’s AirPlay 2 and Amazon Alexa support.

If you’re looking for a new Switch 2 controller, the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 wireless gamepad is one of the best on the market — and it’s currently receiving a rare discount. Originally $69.99, right now you can buy it in white for $59.98 and in black for $62.99 at checkout.

Along with being compatible with the new Switch 2, the gamepad also works with the original Switch and PC. It introduces a number of improvements over its predecessor, replacing its Hall effect joysticks with tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) ones, which are just as drift-resistant but more power-efficient. It also adds trigger stops along with LED-equipped joystick rings and an extra pair of shoulder buttons for added control.
