Closer to the Metal: Leaving Playwright for CDP

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-07 16:32:44

Goodbye Playwright, Hello CDP Playwright and Puppeteer are great for making QA tests and automation scripts short and readable, but as AI browser companies have been learning the hard way over the last year, sometimes these adapters obscure important details about the underlying browsers. We decided to peek behind the curtain and figure out what the browser was really doing, and it made us decide to drop playwright entirely and just speak the browser's native tongue: CDP.

Notion gains offline mode, but it’s not quite automatic

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-11-08 06:21:18

Notion has introduced a long-awaited feature, adding offline mode to the AI-powered project hub. However, documents don’t just work offline by default. Instead, Notion has designed offline mode to be, well, a separate mode. It needs to be enabled manually for each document you want to access without an internet connection. For some subscriber tiers, offline mode can apply to certain documents without flipping the toggle, but there are still some parameters to be familiar with in the new system.

There's nothing like the feeling of a brand-new planner. As the new school year kicks off, we've found the best planners to deliver that satisfying rush of a fresh start and a blank page.

Joe Maring / Android Authority It’s a damn good time right now to be a smartwatch fan. Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 series recently launched, the Pixel Watch 4 is right around the corner, Wear OS 6 is chock-full of impressive changes, and Gemini has finally replaced Google Assistant on our wrists.

Philips Hue ‘Bridge Pro’ leaks with ‘more capacity,’ turns lights into motion sensors

9to5mac.com Ben Schoon 2025-11-18 00:56:54

Philips Hue appears to be preparing a new “Bridge Pro” setup that turns your smart lights into motion sensors, while also supporting more devices. The existing Philips Hue bridge is a core part of any Hue setup. The bridge connects to your network and communicates with each product, and is part of the reason Hue tends to be more stable than hub-less smart home offerings. But the hardware hasn’t been updated in a while, and a common complaint is that it can only support 50 devices at a time. Th
