Anyone with a smart pet knows how wily they can get around food. All it takes is for them to learn that certain behaviors get them fed, and they suddenly act as if they're starving to every family member despite being fed twice in the last hour. One person figured out a cool system to defeat their dachshund's wily ways by alerting people when they're about to give the dog unintentional seconds (or thirds).

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a console that, to be frank, a ton of people want to get their hands on. Before the console's official announcement, many were searching for any leak they could get their hands on. It seemed as though I was seeing something new about the upcoming system every day leading up to Nintendo's announcement.

Keychron is known for its excellent mechanical keyboards, and the Q1 Pro and K2 HE are no different. The former is one of the company's premium offerings, thanks to a full aluminum build, a deep feature set, and a pleasing typing experience. The K2 HE, on the other hand, brings hall effect switches to the popular Keychron K2, allowing discerning users to change the actuation distance of the switches. The magnetic keyboard is cheaper than the company's long-time champ, but let's see if it does enough to stand out as the clear winner.

Leaker Evan Blass has shared a set of spinning GIFs of Samsung’s midrange Galaxy A56 that show the phone in four colors and a host of different angles. The Galaxy A56 is rumored to launch in March, right around the same time as rival devices from Apple and Google.The new animations from evleaks show the A56 in silver, pink, black, and a pale green. They show a phone with flat edges, a chunky display bezel that’s thicker at the bottom, and a redesigned camera island that mounts the three lenses together with a black backing. The other things that stand out — literally — are the power and volume buttons, which now sit on an island that rises slightly out from the phone’s edge, rather than lying flush.This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this design. Android Headlines shared renders showing a similar look in November 2024, and Samsung’s own renders were found on China’s TENAA certification site, so we’re confident that this is what the A56 will look like. As for the specs, we’re not quite as certain. An early Geekbench score believed to belong to the A56 suggests it will be powered by Samsung’s own Exynos 1580 chipset. Certification leaks point to a 5,000mAh battery and 45W wired charging — which would be a little surprising only because the flagship Galaxy S25 is still limited to slower 25W speeds. GalaxyClub reports that the rear cameras will be similar to the last two generations, with a 50 megapixel main shooter joined by a 12MP ultrawide and 5MP macro, though the selfie camera is at least getting an upgrade to a new 12MP sensor.The Galaxy A56 is likely to arrive alongside more affordable A36 and A26 models. Samsung released the last four generations in mid-March, so that’s when we’re expecting to see these phones too. The big question for the A56 is whether it will launch Stateside; we were mostly fans of the $449 Galaxy A54 two years ago, but the A55 skipped the US entirely.This year Samsung may want to ensure it has a presence in the US market. Apple is expected to announce a new version of its similarly priced iPhone SE either this week or next, and Google’s midrange Pixel 9a has also been tipped for a March launch, months earlier than prior generations’ summer announcements.

Creating your dream home lab can include a lot of money, electricity, time, and hardware purchases, but it can be worthwhile if you want to ditch subscriptions and self-host as much as possible. What you're guaranteed to encounter is problems. Whether this be power outages, the lack of any backups for a sudden system failure, or getting lost down the package rabbit hole with countless dependency issues, we've collated some problems you may face and how to solve them.

The laptop market is riddled with compromises, even if you look at the out there. You either get a that's easy to take anywhere, or a powerful that's much harder to carry around. As a solution, the market has come up with external GPUs, which can give you the power of a gaming laptop on demand.

There was a lot of hype around the Nvidia RTX 5090, but things didn't really pan out as well as it could have done. After stores went out of stock with some outages lasting up to four months, there were issues with black screens striking people's computers.It leaves the door open for Nvidia's competitors to get their foot in the door in the wake of these issues, and if a rumor is to be believed, AMD has something cooking that it plans to drop very soon.

There are just way too many great laptops available in 2025, which is a good problem to have if you're in the market for something new. If you're someone that needs a laptop that has a lot of power, is incredibly sleek and light, has a fantastic display, and doesn't cost all that much — then we think the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x might just be the thing. For a limited time, Best Buy is knocking $400 off the original retail price, bringing it down to one of its lowest prices yet.

Last year, we learned that Microsoft is discontinuing the HoloLens 2 headset, with existing customers being provided support until the end of 2027. Although the company continued with its U.S. Army contract, the writing was on the wall for the whole division itself. Now, the firm has confirmed that it is quitting the HoloLens hardware business entirely.

Trying to record your gameplay without losing some performance can be a challenge if you don't currently have the best gaming PC on the market. While it's almost impossible to ensure you don't lose any FPS while recording, there are some ways in which you can record your games at higher settings while losing as little performance as possible.

On Tuesday, US District Court of Delaware judge Stephanos Bibas issued a partial summary judgment in favor of Thomson Reuters in its copyright infringement lawsuit against Ross Intelligence, a legal AI startup.  Filed in 2020, it’s one of the first cases that will deal with the legality of AI tools and how they are trained, often using copyrighted data scraped from somewhere else without license or permission.Similar lawsuits against OpenAI, Microsoft, and other AI giants are currently winding their way through the courts, and they could come down to similar questions about whether or not the AI tools can claim a “fair use” defense of using copyrighted material.However, as the judge noted, this case involved “non-generative” AI, not a generative AI tool like an LLM. Ross shut down in 2021, calling the lawsuit “spurious” but saying it was unable to raise enough funding to keep going while caught up in a legal battle.As reported previously by Wired, today Judge Bibas wrote in his decision, “None of Ross’s possible defenses holds water” against accusations of copyright infringement, and ultimately rejected Ross’s fair-use defense, relying heavily on the factor of how Ross’s use of copyrighted material affected the market for the original work’s value by building a direct competitor. Thomson Reuters sued over Ross’s use of its Westlaw search engine. Westlaw indexes a good deal of material that is not copyrightable (like legal decisions) but also intersperses it with its own content. For instance, Westlaw headnotes — which are summaries of points of law written by human editors — are a signature feature meant to make the very expensive Westlaw subscription attractive to lawyers.In building a legal research search engine, Ross turned the annotations and headnotes “into numerical data about the relationships among legal words to feed into its AI,” wrote Bibas. The ruling describes how, after Thomson Reuters rejected its attempt to license Westlaw’s content, Ross turned to another company, LegalEase, and purchased 25,000 Bulk Memos of questions and answers written by lawyers using the Westlaw headnotes that it used for training data.Ross CEO Andrew Arruda claimed the Westlaw data was “added noise” and that its tool “aims to recognize and extract answers directly from the law using machine learning.” However, after having “compared how similar each of the 2,830 Bulk Memo questions, headnotes, and judicial opinions are, one by one,” the judge said the evidence of actual copying was “so obvious that no reasonable jury could find otherwise.”
