Amazon Cuts 14″ Laptop Screen Extender to a Record Low, New 4.7-Star Portable Monitor Deal for 4th of July

gizmodo.com Joe Tilleli 2026-02-16 00:40:27

Now, I’m a remote worker. And while that technically gives me the free reign to work from anywhere, for the longest time I found myself only ever working from my desk at home. Here at my desk I’ve got three large monitors giving me so much flexibility when I work to have multiple tabs open along with Slack, my email, and more. When I’m working off just my laptop screen, I feel too restrained. That is, until I got a portable monitor. Now I don’t have to sacrifice productivity when I want a change

Nothing Says the Phone 3 Isn’t One Big Gimmick, but I’m Not So Sure

gizmodo.com James Pero 2026-02-16 05:26:32

Nothing CEO Carl Pei wants you to know one thing: the startup’s smartphones aren’t just relying on a schtick. The Phone 3, which was finally unveiled this week after seemingly never-ending leaks and teasers, is being billed as the company’s “true flagship,” which means… to be honest, I don’t know what the hell it means. But it’s clear that Nothing sees it as its most premium phone yet, which is evident not just through its own messaging but also its starting price. The Phone 3 costs $800—more th

We've even heard rumors that Apple might change how frequently it launches new iPhone models, from once a year to twice. But when the iPhone 16 debuted, there was criticism aimed at its screen.

Don’t let hype about AI agents get ahead of reality

Let’s start with the term “agent” itself. Right now, it’s being slapped on everything from simple scripts to sophisticated AI workflows. There’s no shared definition, which leaves plenty of room for companies to market basic automation as something much more advanced. That kind of “agentwashing” doesn’t just confuse customers; it invites disappointment.
