I’ve believed in dual-monitor supremacy ever since the first time I worked in an office. Having one big screen may be enough for some people, but between my fluctuating attention span and the sheer number of projects I’m always working on, a second monitor is my saving grace. One thing that I’ve struggled with over time, however, is desk space. Between upgrading my PC and finding new kitschy stuff to place on my desk, a second monitor is sometimes difficult to properly place. That’s when I discovered something that not only helped my general productivity but also freed up a…
Kaitlyn Cimino / Android AuthorityIf you’ve opened the Kindle store lately and wondered why half the titles read like someone copy-pasted their search history, congratulations: you’ve hit Amazon’s latest aesthetic. Instead of crisp, memorable titles, readers are scrolling past listings like “A Dark Addictive Thriller for Fans of X & Y (A Totally Gripping Novel Book 1).” It’s the literary equivalent of a social media post with more hashtags than substance. Facing this bleak reality, a recent r/kindle thread made the rounds as users commiserated. Have you noticed keyword-packed titles in the Kindle store?4 votesYes, I have noticed.75%No, I haven’t…

It makes a ton of sense to try and save money on a big item purchase like a smart TV. It’s why they are some of the most sought-after items during sales events like Prime Day or Black Friday. Typically, you’ll be able to find hundreds of dollars off a smart TV if you look for one during these events, giving you a brand-new TV for a fraction of the cost. But this doesn’t mean that the TVs still don’t cost a ton of money. There are a lot of different features that can cause them to be expensive. Operating…
Artificial IntelligenceThe AI Boom Is Based on a Fundamental MistakeBenjamin Riley | The Verge”The problem is that according to current neuroscience, human thinking is largely independent of human language—and we have little reason to believe ever more sophisticated modeling of language will create a form of intelligence that meets or surpasses our own.”COMPUTINGWhy Google’s Custom AI Chips Are Shaking Up the Tech IndustryAlex Wilkins | New Scientist ($)”Nvidia’s position as the dominant supplier of AI chips may be under threat from a specialized chip pioneered by Google, with reports suggesting companies like Meta and Anthropic are looking to spend billions on Google’s tensor processing…
The Realme GT 8 Pro is having some identity issues – is it a flagship or a flagship killer? Its €1,100 price tag says the former, its hardware says the latter. And so, the conclusion from last week’s poll is pretty simple – the GT 8 Pro needs a price cut. The phone’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and massive 7,000mAh battery certainly impressed us in our review. And the 6.79” OLED display is a sharp, high-quality 1440p+ 144Hz panel with Dolby Vision. But it’s not an LTPO panel. Also, the USB-C port is only USB 2.0. Video stabilization could…
You probably start your day the same way many of us do: reach for your phone and instinctively tap the green circle for Spotify, or the red notes for YouTube Music or Apple Music. The music streaming wars effectively ended years ago for most people, with the big three occupying nearly all the mindshare. However, there’s a music streaming service that’s been perfecting the playlist experience for years, and it deserves more attention than it gets: Deezer. The service offers a one-month free trial of Deezer Premium (not available in all regions), making it easy to choose the right plan…
As a smartwatch reviewer, it’s my job to test the latest tech and see if it’s up to snuff, and having tested every modern Samsung Galaxy Watch over the last couple of years, I can thoroughly recommend – especially at these cheaper-than-ever early Cyber Monday and leftover Black Friday deals.As you might expect, most of the best discounts are at Amazon right now, and there are some huge deals in the US and the UK. In the US, the top-tier Samsung Galaxy Ultra is now just $549.99 at Amazon (was $649) and the same fab $100 discount applies to every…
As AI systems enter production, reliability and governance can’t depend on wishful thinking. Here’s how observability turns large language models (LLMs) into auditable, trustworthy enterprise systems.Why observability secures the future of enterprise AIThe enterprise race to deploy LLM systems mirrors the early days of cloud adoption. Executives love the promise; compliance demands accountability; engineers just want a paved road.Yet, beneath the excitement, most leaders admit they can’t trace how AI decisions are made, whether they helped the business, or if they broke any rule.Take one Fortune 100 bank that deployed an LLM to classify loan applications. Benchmark accuracy looked stellar.…
