Report: Apple inches closer to releasing an OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-19 21:30:37

At multiple points over many years, Apple executives have taken great pains to point out that they think touchscreen Macs are a silly idea. But it remains one of those persistent Mac rumors that crops up over and over again every couple of years, from sources that are reliable enough that they shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand. Today’s contribution comes from supply chain analyst Ming Chi-Kuo, who usually has some insight into what Apple is testing and manufacturing. Kuo says that touchscreen

This guy made his own slider phone out of a broken Z Flip 5 and BlackBerry keyboard

TL;DR A YouTuber attached a BlackBerry Q10 keyboard to a folded Galaxy Z Flip 5 with a broken folding screen. The YouTuber also added a magnetic slider mechanism akin to phones like the Nokia N97. A video shows that the keyboard works in apps like YouTube and in games. What happens if your Galaxy Z Flip‘s folding screen breaks? Well, you could get it repaired, or you could do what one enterprising person did and attach a BlackBerry keyboard to it. YouTuber and inventor Marcin Plaza decided t

Primitive tortureboard: Untangling the myths and mysteries of Dvorak and QWERTY

It’s time for Apple to revive one of its discontinued iPad accessories

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-10-17 13:18:00

A few years ago, Apple used to have a much simpler iPad keyboard lineup. It just offered a Smart Keyboard for each of their iPad models, and they all essentially served as the same product. Nowadays, after the introduction of trackpad support in iPadOS and the Magic Keyboard, everything is unnecessarily convoluted – with each iPad model having a slightly different Magic Keyboard and varying features. While the keyboard lineup is a mess, that’s not what I take issue with right now – it’s the fac

Google is testing more nuanced punctuation options in Gboard (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR The latest Gboard beta contains clues that separate toggles to hide the comma and period keys may soon be available. Back in March, we spotted a single toggle for both keys being tested. If rolled out, users could choose a cleaner keyboard interface.

Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux

news.ycombinator.com Mark Stosberg 2025-11-09 16:00:04

On Linux, Control-C and Control-V don't work for copying and pasting in terminals. The Control modifier is used for its original purpose of inserting control codes. Instead, terminal apps require an extra Shift modifier, like Control+Shift+C. But what if there were hidden shortcut combos for copy and paste on Linux that work across most apps without adding any additional software or configuration? By the end of 2025, this will be the case, and many apps already support them. Here's the scoop!

Even the most die-hard iPad fans have started to lose faith in recent years.
