wired.com Luke Larsen 2026-03-19 17:30:00

A 2-in-1 is a laptop that can go from a standard clamshell laptop configuration to a tablet setup. Over the years, there are really two types of designs that fall into this category: the convertible 2-in-1 laptop and the detachable tablet. Laptops with rotating displays—also called convertibles—use a 360-degree hinge that can position the screen flat, in “tent” mode, or flush against the underside of the laptop. Think of this as a touchscreen clamshell laptop with a fancy hinge. The flexibility

There's one big feature I'm looking forward to in iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and MacOS Tahoe 26, and it's one that Apple should have added ages ago: call and text screening.

Rendering Crispy Text on the GPU

It’s not the first time I’ve fallen down the rabbit-hole of rendering text in real time. Every time I’ve looked into it an inkling of dissatisfaction always remained, either aliasing, large textures, slow build times, minification/magnification, smooth movement, etc. Last time I landed on a solution using Multi-Channel Signed Distance Fields (SDFs) which was working well.
