Nothing has introduced the Phone 4B, its first handset under a new 'B' branding tier that sits below its existing 'A' series in terms of price and positioning.

Design elements are borrowed from the 4A and 4A Pro, though the 4B uses plastic instead of metal for its unibody construction. Like Nothing's previous budget offerings, the Phone 4B will not be available in the United States.

3D-Printed Ghost Guns and Illegal Weapon Parts Fuel Growing US Enforcement Crisis

In summer 2024, former Army National Guard member Andrew Scott Hastings allegedly used a 3D printer to manufacture homemade firearm components, including over 100 automatic-conversion switches, intended for al-Qaida operatives according to federal prosecutors. Separately, ATF agents arrested two men in Colorado Springs for allegedly producing hundreds of illegal machine gun conversion devices using 3D printers. These cases highlight a broader law enforcement challenge surrounding so-called ghost guns — untraceable firearms and components made with consumer-grade printing technology. The accessibility of 3D printing has made it increasingly difficult for authorities to monitor and intercept illegal weapons manufacturing across the United States.

Nothing Ear 3A launches at $99 with call and audio recording features

Nothing has launched its latest budget wireless earbuds, the Ear 3A, priced at $99 — the same as its predecessor. The earbuds are available now through Nothing's online store and are sold under the main Nothing brand rather than its budget sub-brand CMF. A standout feature is the ability to record calls and audio playback directly on the earbuds, a capability previously seen on the pricier Ear 3. The wireless charging case also comes with upgraded microphones. The $99 price point is notable as many tech companies are raising prices on new hardware releases.

Netflix Faces Viewer Drop-Off as Binge-Watching Loses Its Edge

A new report indicates that Netflix is struggling to retain viewers beyond a show's first season. The findings suggest that audience drop-off between seasons has become a notable concern for the streaming giant.

As rivals have adopted similar release strategies, the format that once set Netflix apart appears to have lost much of its appeal and advantage.
