It boosts up to 5.2GHz and has enough muscle for streaming, editing, schoolwork, and everyday multitasking without ever feeling sluggish.Often, lower priced laptops come with…

OpenAI is holding preliminary talks with Amazon for an investment over $10 billion, including use of Amazon Web Services’ Trainium chips for AI training. This is separate from raising up to $100 billion at a $830 billion valuation, up 66% from October’s $500 billion mark. The $100B raise tells you what Sam Altman and OpenAI actually believes. ChatGPT subscriptions alone won’t justify the valuation. The fundraise is not for model training. It is for building consumer products that monetize attention, not capability. $77B of that 2030 revenue comes from “non-subscription consumer” products. That’s 38% of projected revenue from business models…

The Eureka Ergonomic Ark EL Executive is just one example of the California-based brand’s many items of home office furniture, and it’s a striking beast indeed. Sitting (or should we say, standing) near the top of Eureka’s desk food chain, it’s the third-most expensive single-level standing desk—behind the two-storey Ark Executive and the L-shaped Ark Pro.It’s undeniably a statement piece, although despite its dominating stature, I feel like it…

There are many ways you can officially mark the beginning of the festive season. For some it’s putting up the Christmas tree while for others it’s the first glass of mulled wine. For me, it’s when I’ve watched my first Christmas film.  However, with countless streaming services to sift through, it’s never been harder to track down your favourite Christmas film. Yes, you can search for a certain movie, but then you’re more often than not directed to a new streaming platform that requires you to sign up to yet another costly service.  To help you prepare and spread a…

Android is full of hidden features and settings that most people never touch, and some of them can change the way you use your phone. One such setting that completely blew me away was forcing my phone into a tablet-style UI. When I first tried it, I thought it’d be gimmicky at best. But that wasn’t the case. This mode made menus wider, apps feel roomier, and multitasking a breeze. I could see more content at once and move around apps more naturally. And with modern Android phone screens now being bigger than ever before, this smaller, denser UI makes…

Reporting by The Guardian reveals a cruel new initiative being rolled out to one high-traffic Home Depot location in Los Angeles’ Cypress Park: high-pitched noise machines meant to shoo away day laborers.

Google might be about to undo one of its most debated Android interface changes, almost four years after it first showed up. When Google launched Android 12 in 2021, it killed the separate one-tap Wi-Fi and mobile data toggles we all knew. In their place came a single, combined “Internet” tile. The logic was that it would simplify connection management and stop people from accidentally eating through their data caps by forgetting to turn Wi-Fi back on. It sounded fine on paper, but in reality, it turned a quick action into a multi-tap chore, which frustrated a lot of users.…
