How it works: MoviePass is like Netflix for people who like going to the movie theater. For $360 a year (or $30 a month), you can see a movie every day of the year. To get a better idea of how the whole system works, check out our hands on time with the service. For someone who likes going out to the theater, MoviePass is cool because it works in any movie theater that takes credit cards and with every movie (though no 3D or IMAX movies, yet). Basically, when you get to the movie theater, you check in with the MoviePass Android or iPhone app. After check in, you use a special debit card that MoviePass sends you to pay for your ticket.

Android 15 might add a new way to charge your gadgets
The Android 15 logo on a smartphone.

Wireless charging has been a fringe feature for over a decade, despite Apple's push into the ecosystem with the iPhone X and its later adoption of MagSafe. It has been limited to flagship phones, save for a few exceptions, mostly due to the painfully slow charging speeds. But with Android 15, Google now seems to offer phone makers additional reasons to adopt wireless charging even without dedicated hardware.

Instead of relying on a dedicated charging coil, Android 15 could enable wireless charging on phones with Near Field Communications (or NFC) tech. Android Authority dug up instances from the source code of Android 15's first user beta, which arrived last week, that suggests the implementation.

Lock screen on Onyx Boox Tab Ultra C

I recently found myself on a reporting assignment in Trivandrum, a beautiful beach town in India’s southernmost state.
