Google’s new Pixel phones are better, but only a little. After 10 generations of Pixels, Google’s phones have never been more like the iPhone, and we mean that both as a compliment and a gentle criticism. For people who miss the days of low-cost, tinkering-friendly Nexus phones, Google’s vision…
Begging Apple to let another company make Macs for the first time since the ’90s. I don’t usually get too excited about user-submitted designs on the Lego Ideas website, especially when those ideas would require negotiating a license with another company—user-generated designs need to reach 10,000 supporters before Lego…
TV static and remote included. If a family of anthropomorphic mice were to meet around a TV, I imagine they’d gather around something like TinyCircuits’ TinyTV 2. The gadget sits on four slender, angled legs with its dials and classic, brown shell beckoning viewers toward its warm, bright stories.…
After years of neglect, TypePad and everything on it goes away on September 30. In the olden days, publishing a site on the Internet required that you figure out hosting and have at least some experience with HTML, CSS, and the other languages that make the Internet work. But…
Corsair’s Xeneon Edge is the best at what it does but is software-dependent. Finding a cheap secondary PC monitor is pretty easy. But if you want one that looks good, is built well, and is easily customizable, you won’t find those qualities in a budget screen from a no-name…
There are no major new consumer features. Enterprises get a few things though. The new version of Mac virtual machine software Parallels Desktop, which is most often used to run Windows applications on modern Macs, has just arrived. Parallels Desktop 26 has a lot to offer to the enterprise,…
Expect Apple’s next-gen iPhones, software release dates, and some other devices. Apple is hosting its next product event on Tuesday, September 9, at 10 am Pacific and 1 pm Eastern, the company announced today. Though Apple’s event announcements rarely indicate what the company plans to talk about, the company’s…
Older Ryzen 7040-based model will stick around at $1,299 as a lower-end option. It’s been a busy year for Framework, the company behind the now well-established series of repairable, upgradeable, modular laptops (and one paradoxically less-upgradeable desktop). The company has launched a version of the Framework Laptop 13 with…
Google says it’s no different than checking IDs at the airport. Android’s open nature set it apart from the iPhone as the era of touchscreen smartphones began nearly two decades ago. Little by little, Google has traded some of that openness for security, and its next security initiative could…
Users of X3D CPUs in ASRock motherboards seem to be at particularly high risk. AMD’s X3D-series Ryzen chips have become popular with PC gamers because games in particular happen to benefit disproportionately from the chips’ extra 64MB of L3 cache memory. But that extra memory occasionally comes with extra…
