Tidy up your Mac office space with a Thunderbolt dock hidden under your desk

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-07-29 09:46:13

Like many people these days, I work from home and use a 16-inch MacBook Pro with an external display. I have been a long-time user of the OWC Thunderbolt Dock which lets me connect my display and various peripherals to the hub’s I/O ports, with only a single cable plugged in to the laptop. This dock has simply sat atop the desk, until recently. I came across a further improvement to my setup which helps declutter even more. Quite simply, I discovered this cable management tray that lets the doc

Ziploc, Rubbermaid Sued Over Microplastics: Should You Ditch Plastic Containers?

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-07-29 08:21:00

When you buy plastic food containers, you tend to look for whether they're microwave and freezer-safe. The maker of Rubbermaid, Newell Brands, is now facing a class action lawsuit for claiming that its plastic-based containers are "microwave safe" and "freezer-safe." According to the complaint, these products can release microplastics into food even when used as per the instructions, despite the products' marketing claiming otherwise. Ziploc is also facing a similar class action lawsuit. Ziploc

Hackers exploit a blind spot by hiding malware inside DNS records

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-07-29 09:15:04

Hackers are stashing malware in a place that’s largely out of the reach of most defenses—inside domain name system (DNS) records that map domain names to their corresponding numerical IP addresses. The practice allows malicious scripts and early-stage malware to fetch binary files without having to download them from suspicious sites or attach them to emails, where they frequently get quarantined by antivirus software. That’s because traffic for DNS lookups often goes largely unmonitored by man

There could be “dark main sequence” stars at the galactic center

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-07-29 09:30:58

For a star, its initial mass is everything. It determines how quickly it burns through its hydrogen and how it will evolve once it starts fusing heavier elements. It's so well understood that scientists have devised a "main sequence" that acts a bit like a periodic table for stars, correlating their mass and age with their properties. The main sequence, however, is based on an assumption that's almost always true: All of the energy involved comes from the gravity-driven fusion of lighter elemen

Get the macOS Finder to Do Just About Anything by Typing Natural Language Commands

I'm genuinely not sure if large language models—often referred to as “AI” in shorthand—are the future of computing. But I also don't think chatbots are how people will use this technology in the years to come. Substage, an indie Mac application by developer Joseph Humfrey, is a simple app that points to a potential alternative—one that's useful right now. This application floats under every Finder window, meaning you see it only when you're browsing files in macOS. You can type English-languag

Chinese authorities are using a new tool to hack seized phones and extract data

Security researchers say Chinese authorities are using a new type of malware to extract data from seized phones, allowing them to obtain text messages — including from chat apps such as Signal — images, location histories, audio recordings, contacts, and more. On Wednesday, mobile cybersecurity company Lookout published a new report — shared exclusively with TechCrunch — detailing the hacking tool called Massistant, which the company said was developed by Chinese tech giant Xiamen Meiya Pico.

Tesla’s Cybertruck Is a Bust

The hype is dead. The Tesla Cybertruck, once billed as the future of electric vehicles, is now looking like a commercial bust.
