9 Best 2-in-1 Laptops (2025), Tested and Reviewed

A 2-in-1 is a laptop that can go from a standard clamshell laptop configuration to a tablet setup. Over the years, there are really two types of designs that fall into this category: the convertible 2-in-1 laptop and the detachable tablet. Laptops with rotating displays—also called convertibles—use a 360-degree hinge that can position the screen flat, in “tent” mode, or flush against the underside of the laptop. Think of this as a touchscreen clamshell laptop with a fancy hinge. The flexibility

Microsoft: KB5060533 update triggers boot errors on Surface Hub v1 devices

Microsoft is investigating a known issue that triggers Secure Boot errors and prevents Surface Hub v1 devices from starting up. These boot problems only impact Surface Hub v1 systems running Windows 10, version 22H2, after installing the KB5060533 June 2025 Windows security update. Microsoft says that "Surface Hub v1 devices might fail to start with the following error: 'Secure Boot Violation. Invalid signature detected. Check Secure Boot Policy in Setup."

Best Packing Cubes for Every Kind of Trip (2025), Tested and Reviewed

Other Packing Cubes We Tried GoRuck Packing Cube for $25 (for 1, 10L flat): I loved the 15 x 10 x 3-inch size I tested of this rugged, 200-denier nylon cube with a mesh front. It fit almost anything I needed for any occasion, with a convenient carry handle and signature GoRuck American flag patch on the front. However, they are pricey, and unless you need them to match your GoRuck gear, there's nothing about them that stands out above comparably priced cubes. Amazon Basics for $16 (set of 4):

AirTag 2 Rumors: The Most Recent Leaks and What They Mean

It's been more than four years since Apple launched the original AirTag. In Apple years, that's practically a lifetime. While the little tracker has become a go-to for finding lost keys, wallets and luggage, it is severely overdue for an update. That sort of delay is unusual for Apple, which tends to refresh most of its product lines every couple of years. Now, as we head into summer travel season, when item trackers are more useful than ever, rumors and hints are heating up that a second-gen A

Apple quietly makes running Linux containers easier on Macs

Apple With so much news at 2025's Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, you might be excused for missing that Apple quietly revealed it was releasing and open-sourcing a new open-source containerization framework and a shell tool called Container. Both are designed to create and run Linux containers as lightweight virtual machines (VMs) directly on MacOS.

Rocket Report: New delay for Europe’s reusable rocket; SpaceX moves in at SLC-37

Welcome to Edition 7.48 of the Rocket Report! The shock of last week's public spat between President Donald Trump and SpaceX founder Elon Musk has worn off, and Musk expressed regret for some of his comments going after Trump on social media. Musk also backtracked from his threat to begin decommissioning the Dragon spacecraft, currently the only way for the US government to send people to the International Space Station. Nevertheless, there are many people who think Musk's attachment to Trump co

Jemalloc Postmortem

Home Published Jun 12, 2025 The jemalloc memory allocator was first conceived in early 2004, and has been in public use for about 20 years now. Thanks to the nature of open source software licensing, jemalloc will remain publicly available indefinitely. But active upstream development has come to an end. This post briefly describes jemalloc’s development phases, each with some success/failure highlights, followed by some retrospective commentary. Phase 0: Lyken In 2004 I began work on the Ly

The curse of Toumaï: an ancient skull and a bitter feud over humanity's origins

On a late-summer day in 2001, at the University of Poitiers in west-central France, the palaeontologist Michel Brunet summoned his colleagues into a classroom to examine an unusual skull. Brunet had just returned from Chad, and brought with him an extremely ancient cranium. It had been distorted by the aeons spent beneath what is now the Djurab desert; a crust of black mineral deposits left it looking charred and slightly malevolent. It sat on a table. “What is this thing?” Brunet wondered aloud

How Theme Park Snack Culture Influenced the Movie Theater Popcorn Bucket Craze

Popcorn buckets are becoming must-have toy collectibles, and this plot twist of trends comes from the unhinged virality of containers that evoke pop culture icons and hold tasty snacks. As a theme park nerd, I saw it unfold as Disney Parks’ snack of choice went from the general cylindrical plastic bucket to Mickey Mouse-shaped holiday containers. As is common in the age of social media, the buckets became coveted souvenirs—and like many sought-after collectibles, scalpers soon got into the game

NBA Finals 2025: When Is Game 4 and How to Watch Without Cable

It's a quick turnaround for game 4 of the NBA Finals. Instead of the regular cadence of two days between games, there's only one off-night before the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder are back on the court for game 4. After splitting the first two games in Oklahoma City, the Pacers defeated the Thunder last night in front of a raucous home crowd in game 3 to take a 2-1 series lead. Game 4 is set for Friday at 8:30 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on ABC. Here's everything you need to know to watch or

Why does my ripped CD have messed up track names? And why is one track missing?

A delve into CD ripping and metadata As of late, I've been getting into growing my music collection by buying and ripping CDs. That was all fine and dandy until I discovered that one of my albums, Echo Afternoon by Finish Ticket, was slightly off. On the left, the artist's Bandcamp page. On the right, my ripped files in VLC. There are three problems here: One track has changed name - Raincloud has turned into "Rainclous". Nothing Coming Soon should be 41 seconds long, but is instead 4 minute

Isaacman’s bold plan for NASA: Nuclear ships, seven-crew Dragons, accelerated Artemis

Nearly two weeks have passed since Jared Isaacman received a fateful, brief phone call from two officials in President Trump's Office of Personnel Management. In those few seconds, the trajectory of his life over the next three and a half years changed dramatically. The president, the callers said, wanted to go in a different direction for NASA's administrator. At the time, Isaacman was within days of a final vote on the floor of the US Senate and assured of bipartisan support. He had run the g

Larry Ellison, Oracle's co-founder, chief technology officer and chairman, at right, and U.S. President Donald Trump share a laugh as Ellison uses a stool to stand on as he speaks during a news conference in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington on Jan. 21, 2025. Trump announced an investment in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure and took questions on a range of topics including his presidential pardons of Jan. 6 defendants, the war in Ukraine, cryptocurrencies and other t

Google warns Wear OS users to install their favorite legacy watch faces before 2026

After Google introduced Watch Face Format (WFF) in 2023, WFF and non-WFF watch faces coexisted. This only lasted for a short time, however, as Google eventually made WFF mandatory. Since then, the company has been gradually phasing out support for non-WFF watch faces on Wear OS . Google has now announced the next step it will take to get to full adoption of WFF. If you’re a Wear OS user who cares about custom watch faces, then you may know that support for AndroidX and Wearable Support Library

There's a Giant Problem With SpaceX's Starlink Satellites

Astronomers' attempts to peer into the earliest reaches of the universe could be threatened by thousands of SpaceX Starlink satellites leaking radio emissions that ruin observations made with highly sensitive telescopes. As New Scientist reports, a team of researchers led by Curtin University radio astronomy professor Steven Tingay tracked the signals of almost 2,000 Starlink satellites, with the help of a prototype telescope from the Square Kilometre Array, which is currently under constructio

‘Andor’ Wanted Its Massacre to Do More Than Just Fill a ‘Star Wars’ Lore Gap

The most impactful thing about the Ghorman Massacre in Andor season two is how it paints a true picture of what rebellion stood for by putting the audience in the shoes of the people assembled to defend their planet. In a grim yet hopeful episode, the Empire’s control of the narrative begins to fall apart, showcasing the brutal violence meted out by Imperial forces against those who resist Palpatine’s rule. Series creator Tony Gilroy and star Diego Luna gave more context about expounding on a k
