Framework Laptop 12 review: I’m excited to see what the 2nd generation looks like

"What's this purple laptop? It's cool." Over a decade-plus of doing gadget reviews and review-adjacent things, my wife (and, lately, my 5-year-old) have mostly stopped commenting on the ever-shifting selection of laptops I have in my bag or lying around the house at any given time.

Either way, they practically never elicit any kind of response, u

The US Supreme Court’s conservative majority on Wednesday upheld the state of Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors. In a 6–3 decision in United States v.

macOS Tahoe’s new Spotlight clipboard manager leaves plenty of room for powerful third-party apps

The new Spotlight is easily my favorite macOS announcement from WWDC25. It may even be my favorite update across all of Apple’s platforms this year.

The addition of a native clipboard history tool to macOS feels like one of those small but meaningful quality-of-life upgrades we’ve been waiting forever to get. That said… I’m not switching.
