Today, USB accessories are more common than ever, thanks as much to the rise of USB-C as anything else. It’s really about the juice USB-C can deliver — whereas a lot of older accessories had to be low-energy or use a separate power supply, many products with USB-C can run entirely off one cable. Heck, there are portable USB-C monitors, which would’ve been impossible to fathom just 15 years ago. Over time, however, some accessory types have fallen out of favor.

From restoring movement and speech in people with paralysis to fighting depression, brain implants have fundamentally changed lives.But inserting implants, however small or nimble, requires risky open-brain surgery. Pain, healing time, and potential infections aside, the risk limits the technology to only a handful of people.Now, scientists at MIT Media Lab and collaborators hope to bring brain implants to the masses. They’ve created a tiny electronic chip powered by near-infrared light that can generate small electrical zaps. After linking with a type of immune cell to form bio-electronic hybrid chips, a single injection into the veins of mice shuttled the…

ChatGPT’s voice mode is getting more usable. OpenAI announced on Tuesday it is updating the user interface to its popular AI chatbot so users can access ChatGPT Voice right inside their chat, instead of having to switch to a separate mode. That means you’ll be able to converse with the chatbot and view its responses, including things like shared images, as you talk. Before, you’d be taken to a separate screen where you’d interact with an animated blue circle that represented the interface for ChatGPT’s voice. That screen also had a mute button and an option to record live video,…
