gizmodo.com Brittany Vincent 2025-10-02 23:40:31

Today’s laptops are almost comically bereft of ports. They have to be thin and portable, right? So that must mean they don’t need connectivity. At least, that’s kind of what it seems that companies might be thinking, which is a bit silly. We need those slots, namely USB-C ports, for charging, data transfers, and just about everything else we need to do on our laptops. If you’re tired of dealing with this, you might want to grab something that’s part of the solution: a USB-C hub! See at Amazon

The live interaction with Huk, an AI-driven creature, is tailored to each visitor based on visual cues.

Nothing is more frustrating than buying a new pair of headphones, an OLED TV, or a laptop just to find out that you could have gotten it for a lot cheaper somewhere else.

Seeking to understand how the use of LLM chatbots affects the brain, a team led by MIT Media Lab research scientist Dr. Nataliya Kosmyna hooked up a group of Boston-area college students to electroencephalogram (EEG) headsets and gave them 20 minutes to write a short essay.
