This HP 14″ Laptop Costs Less Than Your AirPods at Best Buy’s Black Friday in July, Competing With Prime Day

gizmodo.com Joe Tilleli 2026-02-21 16:10:52

In my lifetime, smartphones have gradually become the dominant tool for going online. Today, most people rely primarily on their phones to check email, keep up with friends on social media, or browse the web for all sorts of needs. In fact, I know several people who have ditched traditional computers entirely, relying solely on their phones to get things done. Yet I argue there are certain tasks that are still more convenient on a laptop than they ever will be on a smartphone. Working on large d

gizmodo.com Gizmodo Deals 2026-02-21 16:40:51

Apple’s iPad Air has traditionally been the top choice for those who want an upscale tablet experience short of going all the way to the iPad Pro. Apple’s latest 11-inch iPad Air, which debuted in March, is already causing a splash on this Prime Day with its price reduction that puts it below last year’s model. Amazon is currently offering the new iPad Air for $479, a discount from its usual $599: This 20% discount marks a new all-time low for this model, and makes it one of the most compelling

You May Want to Buy a Nintendo Switch 2 Before Tariffs Drive Up the Price

gizmodo.com James Pero 2026-02-21 16:41:34

Nintendo’s Switch 2 may have avoided a tariff-related disaster at launch, but today is a new day full of fresh economic horrors, and that means (unfortunately for everyone) potentially new and more draconian U.S. tariffs. In letters to 14 countries sent on Tuesday, President Donald Trump threatened to drastically hike tariffs by as much as 40% by the end of the month, which, for the record, marks a several-week extension of prior tariffs that were set to take effect on July 9.

New Research Bolsters Freaky Theory That Earth Sits in a Giant Cosmic Void

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2026-02-21 16:45:55

Images of the cosmos, such as the James Webb Space Telescope’s deep space snapshot, make space look chock-full of stuff. In the grand scheme of things, it is, but all those stars, galaxies, planets, and other celestial objects may not be as uniformly distributed as photos make them look. The fact is, space is likely peppered with bubbles of relative emptiness, and some astronomers believe we’re sitting inside of one.

What is AGI? Nobody agrees, and it’s tearing Microsoft and OpenAI apart.

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-21 15:50:29

When is an AI system intelligent enough to be called artificial general intelligence (AGI)? According to one definition reportedly agreed upon by Microsoft and OpenAI, the answer lies in economics: When AI generates $100 billion in profits. This arbitrary profit-based benchmark for AGI perfectly captures the definitional chaos plaguing the AI industry. In fact, it may be impossible to create a universal definition of AGI, but few people with money on the line will admit it. Over this past year

How The New York Times is (still) getting gamed by the right

theverge.com Elizabeth Lopatto 2026-02-21 16:30:00

Lately, it has been difficult to ignore a tendency at The New York Times to make astonishingly bad news judgments. The paper’s obsession with a view from nowhere is long-standing, but as Republicans increasingly circulate insane conspiracy theories and racist nonsense, the cult of centrism has taken a self-destructive turn. The most recent — and perhaps most egregious — way this has surfaced is a story about New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s application to Columbia University in 2009,
