gizmodo.com Wes Davis 2025-10-10 21:46:01

Anker showed off a few powerful charging and computer accessories at IFA 2025 this year, and they put out just a wacky amount of power. That’s especially true of the Prime 300W Power Bank and the Prime Docking Station, which features what the company calls “the first triple display charging dock with stable 8K display output.” The Prime 300W Power Bank has enough juice to charge two laptops and a phone at once using its two USB-C and single USB-A ports.

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-10 21:06:55

On Thursday, OpenAI announced that ChatGPT users can now branch conversations into multiple parallel threads, serving as a useful reminder that AI chatbots aren't people with fixed viewpoints but rather malleable tools you can rewind and redirect. The company released the feature for all logged-in web users following years of user requests for the capability.

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-08 06:03:03

But diffusion of the tractor, screeching across the horizon, took much l

Who Owns ‘Telepathy’?

Elon Musk’s neural implant startup Neuralink has been trying to trademark two product names: Telepathy and Telekinesis. Musk has previously claimed that his company will be able to give people “superpowers,” so the desire to take ownership over these special abilities makes sense. Unfortunately for Neuralink, patent applications for Telepathy and Telekinesis have already been filed by a different business.
