Heard about the newly discovered, potentially dangerous asteroid headed Earth’s way? Few months go by without ominous tabloid headlines about scary-sounding space rocks zipping through Earth’s orbit. Spoiler alert: There’s absolutely nothing to worry about.

In the past week, news outlets around the world have been reviving a clickbait trope yet again about a skyscraper-size asteroid “hurtling towards Earth.” Most of these refer to newfound asteroid 2022 RM4, a big space rock coming closer to our planet on Halloween than other asteroids its size. But it will never come anywhere near our planet in any practical sense.

It’s been the same story plenty of other times, including coverage of a different asteroid in January 2020, when headlines screamed of a “gigantic” asteroid the size of the Empire State Building speeding “towards Earth.”

At least that’s how it was reported at the time by Sputnik, the news site funded by the Russian government. The reality, as the article said after the scary headline, was that asteroid 2019 UO would pass us safely at a distance of 2,808,194 miles (4,519,351 kilometers). That’s almost 12 times farther away than the moon. I scarcely think of the moon, let

Honor has teased the launch of its second foldable phone flagship.

The Chinese phone-maker plans to unveil the Honor Magic Vs, or what appears to be a single-screen foldable phone on Nov. 24 in mainland China, the company shared in a statement to the media on Thursday.

This device is a follow-up to Honor’s inaugural Magic V foldable phone, which hit the market early this year. The upcoming foldable marks a departure from the design of its predecessor, which featured dual screens in a design that is similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Fold 4 phone.

Honor along with fellow Chinese rivals Xiaomi and Huawei have each launched single-screen foldable phones with varying designs. Huawei’s Mate XS 2 featured a wraparound design, while Xiaomi’s Mi Mix Fold 2 takes a book-style form. With a single-screen design, foldable phones would presumably become slimmer and easier to carry around, a feature that could help nudge it towards the mainstream.

Once a subbrand of Chinese tech giant Huawei, Honor parted ways from its parent company in November 2020, when it was sold to Shenzhen Zhixin New Information Technology. The sale happened at a time when Huawei’s consumer business scrambled to stay afloat following tougher sanctions levelled by the Trump administration, which included measures that took aim at the Chinese telecom giant’s global chip supply.

The Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro have launched as the best Google phones yet, with better camera lenses, software and features, including an easier way for people with blindness or low vision to take selfies. The company added a bunch of Google Assistant features and touted new photography tricks like the unblurring of old photos.

It’s clear Google put a lot of work into its latest flagship phone. What’s less clear is whether anyone will care.

In a world dominated by iPhones and Samsung phones, Google isn’t a contender. Since the first Pixel launched in 2016, the entire series has sold 27.6 million units, according to data by analyst firm IDC — a number that’s one-tenth of the 272 million phones Samsung shipped in 2021 alone. Apple’s no slouch, having shipped 235 million phones in the same period.

The Pixel has long been a paradox of the mobile handset business. The family is the standard bearer for Android, the most popular mobile operating system in the world, bankrolled by one of the most successful and well-known companies. Yet it lags far behind its biggest rivals and is a niche player in a world that it basically controls.

It’s a bit baffling for Google’s phones to sell so poorly, since the Pixel phones have been well-liked by reviewers and consumers (at least the ones who’ve heard of them). Moreover, they’re the first phones to get new features and versions of Android months or even years before other phones.
