The best mini PCs of 2025: Expert recommended from Apple, Intel, and more

zdnet.com Adrian Kingsley-Hughes 2025-12-23 16:45:13

PCs no longer have to be the big, ugly beige boxes that devour desk real estate. These giant machines have given way to the mini PC -- a computer no bigger than a hardback book, but capable of handling demanding workloads. The mini PC market can be somewhat bewildering, so I've done a considerable amount of legwork to distill things down to a handful of choices, from the Intel NUC 13 workhorse to the AceMagician AMD Ryzen 9 Mini gaming PC, to the oftentimes overlooked Apple Mac Mini.

After 100 Years of Quantum Mechanics, Physicists Still Can’t Agree on Anything

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-12-23 17:00:10

In July 1925—exactly a century ago—famed physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to his equally famous colleague, Wolfgang Pauli. In it, Heisenberg confesses that his “views on mechanics have become more radical with each passing day,” requesting Pauli’s prompt feedback on an attached manuscript he’s considering whether to “complete…or to burn.” That was the Umdeutung (reinterpretation) paper, which set the foundation for a more empirically verifiable version of quantum mechanics.

The Making of Dario Amodei

Dario Amodei doesn’t hesitate when I ask what’s gotten into him. The Anthropic CEO has spent 2025 at war, feuding with industry counterparts, members of the government, and the public’s perception of artificial intelligence. In recent months, he’s predicted that AI could soon eliminate 50% of entry-level, white-collar jobs. He’s railed against a ten-year AI regulation moratorium in the pages of the New York Times.
