Laptop catches fire on US flight, with passenger treated at airport

BBC News

One person has received medical treatment after a passenger's laptop caught fire on an American Airlines flight. The pilot had reported a cabin fire in the back of the airplane to air traffic control, saying the flight attendants are trying to put it out now, according to audio obtained by the BBC's US reporting partner CBS News. I think we have about four to five passengers that were burned by the laptop. The laptop is contained about mid-aircraft. One passenger received medical attention on site and was released after American Airlines Flight 2398 - coming from Atlanta, Georgia - landed at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in Texas on Friday.

How to get the best battery life from your retro handheld game console

Engadget

For most people, a set of nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries is the way to go. Panasonic Eneloop is an Engadget staff favorite. It's consistent and tends to hold up over time better than cheaper options. If you want to save a few bucks, IKEA LADDA is a good budget alternative. Both are sold in the AA and AAA sizes you need for these systems.

Pixel 11 prices may rise by $100 or more across the series, challenging their reputation for value. Samsung often wins on hardware, while Pixel leads on software. Pixel Drops and early Android updates are the real value. Google's Pixel phones have, for quite some time, been premium enough to compete with Samsung's best phones, but they were usually a bit cheaper.

Charging to 100% stresses your battery, as most cap at 80%. Not a week goes by that I'm not correcting someone who is still recycling some battery myth packaged as a tip from the nickel-cadmium era (also known as the 1990s). These tips have been repeated and regurgitated so many times. A quick Google search (or an AI prompt) turns up plenty of articles that reassure readers that the tips are 100% grounded in present-day, lithium-ion era reality, when they most definitely are not.
