This theory about Jony Ive’s AI hardware device seems increasingly likely

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-08-31 05:09:44

When Jony Ive and Sam Altman teased their upcoming AI hardware device, we noted how mysterious they were being about its form factor. While some were suggesting that it was a wearable, I said I felt pretty sure it wasn’t, and that’s now been confirmed by a court filing. A 9to5Mac reader last month made a plausible suggestion, and the latest development seems to me to add weight to the idea … What we knew before the court filing Both Ive and Altman had long made it clear their device wasn’t a

Review: Logitech’s Casa Pop Up Desk is a convenient way to work from anywhere

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-09-01 01:00:00

Logitech recently provided me with its Casa Pop Up Desk for review, and it’s a nifty little gadget for those who want more of a fixed desk setup while working on the go. If you’re more of a coffee shop person or always working outdoors – this could be a neat product for you. Overview The Casa Pop Up Desk comes in at $179.99, and while that sounds like a hefty price based on just the product name – you’re getting more than what the name would suggest. You’re not just paying for a nice little b

Your jump from Windows 10 to Linux gets easier with KDE Plasma 6.4

zdnet.com Steven Vaughan-Nichols 2025-09-02 05:01:11

Weiquan Lin/Getty For the last few years, my favorite Linux desktop interface has been Linux Mint Cinnamon. However, that adoration doesn't mean I can't appreciate other Linux desktops. For example, when the KDE Community recently released KDE Plasma 6.4, I decided to give it a try on my openSUSE Tumbleweed machine, a Dell XPS 8300 with a 3.4GHz Intel Core i7-2600 processor, 16GB DDR3 RAM, and a 1.5TB 7200 rpm hard drive from 2011. That machine can run Windows 10 (you can forget about Windows

Poppin Sticky Memo Ball Review: Color-Code in Style

If a messy desk is a sign of genius, I might be one of the smartest people out there. Everywhere I’ve worked, whether in an office or my own house, I’ve begun with the purest of intentions to keep my desk clean and clutter-free, only to weigh the time and energy cost of constantly putting things away just to pull them out again the next day. Spoiler alert: Most of the time, it isn’t worth it. One of the biggest, ahem, sticking points in my decluttering process is the sheer number of sticky note

Sometimes hunting for a great deal on a desktop PC requires beating the weeds a little bit and looking past the giant names that dominate the top of the big-box ads.

Take GMKtec, for instance — the name might not ring a bell, but they’re one of the world’s top mini PC brands, and they’re known for offering incredible deals.

I turned my Pixel 9 into a desktop PC and it actually works great

Android 16 is finally here, but unfortunately, some of the best features are still on the horizon. One upcoming tool that I’ve been keeping a particularly close eye on is Android 16’s Desktop Mode, currently available in the QPR1 Beta 2.

I found a Linux distro that combines the best parts of other operating systems (and it works)

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-09-15 13:22:00

Jack Wallen/ZDNET There are so many Linux distributions on the market, and they range from the command line only all the way to functioning works of art. The majority of distros fall somewhere in the middle, of course, and that's perfectly fine because most users prefer a blend of aesthetics and functionality. That's why the likes of Linux Mint, ZorinOS, elementaryOS, and Ubuntu are so popular. But every once in a while, a team releases an update to its distribution that reminds you that Linux
