My colleagues swear by productivity mice, like Logitech’s MX Master 4, while Mac users tend to go for Apple’s baffling Magic Mouse. However, I usually prefer gaming models because of their high performance and in-depth customization options. Until now, I’d never considered ergonomic vertical mice because I didn’t feel wrist pain or fatigue after hours of play — I just didn’t see the point. That’s probably why I thought they were a bit gimmicky and trying to create a problem to solve. I still love testing new electronics and decided to try a vertical mouse to see if it could…

For more than three decades, modern CPUs have relied on speculative execution to keep pipelines full. When it emerged in the 1990s, speculation was hailed as a breakthrough — just as pipelining and superscalar execution had been in earlier decades. Each marked a generational leap in microarchitecture. By predicting the outcomes of branches and memory loads, processors could avoid stalls and keep execution units busy. But this architectural shift came at a cost: Wasted energy when predictions failed, increased complexity and vulnerabilities such as Spectre and Meltdown. These challenges set the stage for an alternative: A deterministic, time-based execution model.…

Real estate sites are filling up with glaringly AI-altered images that dress up run-down properties as being in much better shape than they actually are. Landlords are using AI to populate rooms with nonexistent furniture, move walls around, dream up imaginary facades, rooflines, and landscaping, and brighten up rooms that are in reality devoid of sunlight. Case in point, a Zillow listing recently identified by children’s book illustrator DeAnn Wiley, recently interviewed by Slate, shows an AI-yassified facade of a rental property in Detroit, Michigan that’s smoothed over to a comical degree. It was an astonishing makeover: rooms didn’t show…

Peep under the hood and you’ll find a brand-new 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-3 engine — a small but mighty powerplant that gives Nissan’s best-selling SUV a nice bump in power while also returning better fuel economy.

Printing seems like something that’s limited to your PC, but that’s not the case. In fact, printing from your phone is quick and easy; you don’t have to boot up your computer to print a document you need on short notice. While exact functionality depends on your printer, modern units make printing from Android or iPhone simple. The easiest solution: seamless Wi-Fi printing While you can connect your printer to your computer with a USB cable, this isn’t the most efficient way to use it. Instead, you’ll have an easier time by connecting your printer to Wi-Fi. Screenshot by Ben…

According to podcastatistics.com, there are “over 4.52 million podcasts worldwide, with nearly 487,200 new shows launched in just the past three months.” In the US alone, around 158 million people listen to podcasts every single month. Podcast popularity shows no signs of slowing, with the industry expected to reach $39.63 billion by the end of 2025, up from $30.72 billion in 2024.With so much hype and interest around podcasts and podcasting, I thought it was high time that I jumped on the bandwagon and turned my skills towards hosting my own show. Now, it’s worth saying that before this experience,…

Presented by HPCreativity is quickly becoming the new measure of productivity. While AI is often framed as a tool for efficiency and automation, new research from MIT Sloan School of Management shows that generative AI enhances human creativity — when employees have the right tools and skills to use it effectively. That’s where AI PCs come in. These next-generation laptops combine local AI processing with powerful Neural Processing Units (NPUs), delivering the speed and security that knowledge workers expect while also unlocking new creative possibilities. By handling AI tasks directly on the device, AI PCs minimize latency, protect sensitive data,…

The AirPods Pro 3 are the successors to one of the most popular pieces of audio equipment in the world. The previous generation AirPods Pro 2 came to be known for their audio quality, noise cancellation, and an incredible feature set, including being able to be used as medical-grade hearing aids, all while providing excellent integration within Apple’s ecosystem of devices. With this new model, Apple is claiming a 2x improvement in active noise cancellation over the AirPods Pro 2, which is apparently good enough for the title of the world’s best in-ear active noise cancellation. There are new foam-infused…

There’s no question that AI agents — those that can work autonomously and asynchronously behind the scenes in enterprise workflows — are the topic du jour in enterprise right now. But there’s increasing concern that it’s all just that — talk, mostly hype, without much substance behind it. Gartner, for one, observes that enterprises are at the “peak of inflated expectations,” a period just before disillusionment sets in because vendors haven’t backed up their talk with tangible, real-world use cases. Still, that’s not to say that enterprises aren’t experimenting with AI agents and seeing early return on investment (ROI); global enterprises Block and…
