Framework Laptop 12 review

"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. Maybe she can't tell them apart, or maybe she just figures there isn't that much to say about whatever black or silver metal slab I'm carrying around. Either way, they practically never elicit any kind of response, u

Yes I Will Read Ulysses Yes

When Richard Ellmann’s James Joyce hit the shelves in 1959, the sheer size of the book (842 pages, 100 longer than Ulysses ) was as dazzling as the degree of detail. Joyce, who had been dead for 18 years, vividly inhabited its chapters, getting drunk, going blind, spending money, spiting enemies, cogitating, and, of course, creating a series of works that immediately made literary history. Moving briskly across the first half of the 20th century (not just a single day in Dublin), Ellmann spun a

Our First Look at Giganto in ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Is in… a Pizza Ad?

Ahead of the release of Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the accompanying food tie-in blitz unleashes a first look at the movie’s take on Giganto in a Little Caesars pizza ad. Currently, the chain is pushing its themed pizza with toppings (or lack thereof) representing different members of the Fantastic Four. Getting a cute little comic book nod in this ad was unexpected, to say the least. Giganto’s first appearance came in Marvel’s First Family comic book debut, which gets homa

Dell 15.6″ Laptop with Outrageous Specs Is Now 75% Off in Amazon’s Ultimate Clearance Sale

However, Amazon sometimes surprises us with deals that beat even Black Friday discounts.

TP-Link is a reliable brand in networking that enjoys millions of individuals’ trust for offering great routers i

We Did the Math: Trump Mobile Is a Bad Deal for Consumers

When the Trump Organization announced its new Trump Mobile cell service and gold colored T1 phone -- complete with an American flag on the back -- it raised a lot of questions. While most of them focused on the numerous mistakes and typos on the Trump Mobile site -- some of which have been fixed -- other errors and questionable policies, like calling RAM storage, not identifying the handset's processor or the fact that you can't get a refund for the T1 phone raised several flags for us. Even the

Spanish blackout report: Power plants meant to stabilize voltage didn’t

The blackout that took down the Iberian grid serving Spain and Portugal in April was the result of a number of smaller interacting problems, according to an investigation by the Spanish government. The report concludes that several steps meant to address a small instability made matters worse, eventually leading to a self-reinforcing cascade where high voltages caused power plants to drop off the grid, thereby increasing the voltage further. Critically, the report suggests that the Spanish grid

Facebook rolls out passkey support to fight phishing attacks

Facebook is adding support for passkeys on its mobile app. That means you’ll be able to log into the platform using your device’s authentication method, like your fingerprint, face scan, or PIN, making it more difficult for bad actors to take control of your account. Passkeys offer a more secure alternative to typical passwords because they can’t b

Nintendo Switch 2: Which webcams work?

The Nintendo Switch 2 is more expensive in practically every way: pricier console, pricier games, an entire Chat button you’ll eventually have to pay to use. So it was nice when Nintendo revealed you won’t need its own $55 camera to video chat with pals. “You can use the Nintendo Switch 2 camera accessory (sold separately) or any compatibl

OpenAI found features in AI models that correspond to different ‘personas’

OpenAI researchers say they’ve discovered hidden features inside AI models that correspond to misaligned “personas,” according to new research published by the company on Wednesday. By looking at an AI model’s internal representations — the numbers that dictate how an AI model responds, which often seem completely incoherent to humans — OpenAI researchers were able to find patterns that lit up when a model misbehaved. The researchers found one such feature that corresponded to toxic behavior i

Facebook will soon roll out support for passkeys on Android and iOS

Facebook is rolling out support for passkeys on both iOS and Android, the social network announced on Wednesday. Passkey logins make it harder for bad actors to remotely access your accounts because they require physical access to your phone. Unlike standard logins, passkeys use Face ID or Touch ID, a PIN, or a physical security authentication key to validate logins. Passkeys remove the need to rely on username and password combinations, which can be susceptible to phishing and other issues.

Which video game shipped the first day-one patch in history?

Choose wisely! The correct answer, the explanation, and an intriguing story await. Correct Answer: Ultima IX: Ascension (1999) What was the storage size of the first USB flash drive? The honor (or infamy) of the first day-one patch is widely attributed to Ultima IX: Ascension, released in 1999. The game launched with significant bugs and performance issues, prompting Origin Systems to release a patch on the very day of its release. This marked a turning point in gaming history, when develope

T-Mobile is ruining almost all of its plans with new taxes and fees charges

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile will reportedly start charging taxes and fees on top of its tablet, smartwatch, and hotspot plans. Previously, these plans were still available with taxes and fees included in their monthly prices. The change is said to take effect as early as today, with wording on T-Mobile’s website suggesting they’re already rolling out. Earlier this year, T-Mobile made a pretty significant change (read: downgrade) to its unlimited plans. After almost a decade

T-Mobile’s new prepaid plans look great on paper, but is there a catch?

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T‑Mobile is shaking up its prepaid offerings with three plans, ranging from $40 to $60 per month for one line. The new plans largely look like an upgrade, but there are a few possible catches around prioritization and family discounts. The new plans look similar to what you’ll find from other prepaid plans based on T-Mobile’s network, though whether they are better or not remains unseen until we know a bit more. Earlier this year, T-Mobile unveiled its ne

OnePlus could challenge Lenovo with this rumored gaming tablet

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR A Weibo tipster claims OnePlus is testing a compact gaming tablet with a 3K, 165Hz display. The device is said to have an 8.x-inch screen and a “geeky and simple” design. The rumored tablet would follow the recently released Pad 3 and the upcoming Pad Lite. OnePlus has been pushing hard into the tablet space this year, and we might be about to see the manufacturer expand those ambitions. If the rumors prove accurate, a OnePlus compact gaming tablet may be

Apple introduces new limited-time Apple Card sign-up offer: Earn $100 in Daily Cash

Once again, Apple has launched a new Apple Card sign up bonus for a limited time. Apple Card typically doesn’t come with a sign up bonus, but from time to time – Apple will launch these special offers through social media campaigns and targeted emails. Typically, I’d refer to an Apple Card sign up offer as “rare”, but there’s been so many in the past year or so that it’d no longer be an accurate term. Regardless though, if you sign up for an Apple Card normally – you don’t receive a sign up bon

ChatGPT can now generate images in WhatsApp

Back in December, OpenAI launched its ChatGPT WhatsApp contact as part of its “12 Days of OpenAI” holiday announcements. And while this version of the chatbot is still more limited than what you get on the web or desktop, it is rolling out a useful new trick: image generation. Yep, people actually do this While the idea of texting ChatGPT over WhatsApp might seem a little odd, several WhatsApp-heavy users I’ve talked to say they love the convenience of having ChatGPT right there, without needi
