It was just last month at CES when Panasonic introduced its first 64 GB SDXC memory cards, opening up a new doorway for fans of high-definition cameras and camcorders. Of course, Panasonic’s suggested retail pricing for those 64 GB cards was $599.95 each. Now comes memory and storage developer SanDisk with its 64 GB Ultra SDCX card, offering the same capacity for just $349.99.

“SDXC is the successor to the popular SDHC card format,” said SanDisk’s director of retail product marketing Susan Park, in a statement. “The 64GB SanDisk Ultra SDXC card delivers the speed and capacity consumers need for extended HD video recording and improved rapid shooting of still images. The card is an ideal complement for recently-announced SDXC-compatible cameras and camcorders.”

Gear compatible with SDXC cards is still wending its way to market, with Canon being the first out the gate with cameras supporting the storage format. The SDXC card format is based on the new SD 3.0 specification, which supports card capacities all the way out to 2 TB.

SanDisk’s Ultra SDXC card supports write speeds of up to 15MB/s; the 64 GB capacity means the card can hold up to eight hours of high-definition video recorded at 9 Mbps.

The best Google Pixel 8a screen protectors in 2024
A photo of someone holding the Google Pixel 8a.

The Google Pixel 8a is Google's latest smartphone, and while it's not a match for Google's flagship phones, the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, it's not meant to be. The Pixel 8a is a midrange powerhouse, with the Tensor G3 processor, a showstopping camera, and the advanced smarts of Google's Gemini Nano AI model.

But none of that is worth squat if you can't see it. The display is a vital part of any smartphone, and the Pixel 8a's 6.1-inch OLED panel is a beauty. It has a 120Hz refresh rate, and a much higher brightness to boot, making it the equal of some of the best phones you can grab in the midrange market. But all that tech should be protected. Here are the best Google Pixel 8a screen protectors to keep your phone's screen safe from scratches, dirt, and smears.

Apple made an outrageous change to its new iPads
An official photo of the 2024 iPad Air.

After a year-long drought of iPads, Apple finally revealed the new iPad Air and iPad Pro models during its Let Loose event on May 7. This was a unique announcement because it broke some old traditions; the iPad Air now comes in two sizes: an 11-inch and 13-inch, just like the iPad Pro. But these new iPads are also breaking another longtime tradition: They won’t come with iconic Apple stickers. Gasp.

According to 9to5Mac, Apple Store teams received a memo where Apple explained that the iconic Apple stickers won’t be included inside the boxes of the new iPad Air and iPad Pro. The reasoning? As part of Apple’s environmental goals, it is trying to ensure that its packaging is completely free of plastic.
