The proliferation of AI throughout our daily lives is impossible to ignore. It has begun to entrench itself deep in our workflows, including everything from music playlist generation to automating tedious tasks in photo editing. The level of access we have to AI will continue to rise exponentially, and with it, academic dishonesty. I graduated from high school many moons ago, far before any LLMs existed in the eyes of the public, let alone crafty students. I can only imagine what the current teaching landscape looks like in the average tenth grade classroom, but one thing I can say for sure is that there are still plenty of TI-84s kicking around.

RAM, otherwise known as Random Access Memory, is extremely fast and efficient memory that temporarily stores the information your computer needs to access quickly and frequently, and the more RAM you have, the more data it can store and retrieve more quickly.

Last week, Microsoft finally unleashed Windows 11 version 24H2 onto the world, but that wasn't all that was new for Windows fans. The company also announced new features coming to Copilot+ PCs in the next few months, including the long-awaited return of Recall.

The new Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 series tablets are here, featuring impressive hardware and a slew of new AI capabilities compared to previous models. However, aside from these new features and hardware enhancements under the hood, the Galaxy Tab S10+ and S10 Ultra look almost identical to last-gen Galaxy tablets. That's not a bad thing at all, as the Galaxy Tab S10+ is compatible with a wide array of cases and other accessories already on the market. If you're the proud owner of a Galaxy Tab S10+ (or are soon to be), here are some of the best products to dress it up with.

I'm always in search of the perfect desk setup. It's like a never-ending quest, and I test a whole bunch of products to try and find the best combination. I use a CableMod coiled USB-C cable, a Logitech ergonomic keyboard, and a BenQ light bar but I keep Satechi products on my desk and workbench more than any other brand. They make chargers, hubs, and plenty of other tech accessories and everything is at least 25% off for Prime Big Deal Days and the brand's fall sale.

Image: The Verge A treaty finalized by the UK may bring about the end of the .io domain. Last week, the British government announced that it has agreed to give up ownership of the Chagos Islands, a territory in the Indian Ocean it has controlled since 1814 — relinquishing the .io domain with it.But first, let’s take a step back (and I mean far back) to see how we got here. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the Chagos Islands were settled by the French in the 1700s, who brought slaves to the archipelago. In 1814, the French ceded control of the Chagos Islands and the island country of Mauritius to the British. When the British took over, the Chagos Islands remained a dependency of Mauritius.In 1965, the UK granted Mauritius its sovereignty, but... Continue reading…

You don't need to spend more than $300 on a reliable network-attached storage (NAS) to store all your data and run some apps. The QNAP TS-233 is a two-bay enclosure designed for storing data from multiple devices at home. It may not have all the flashy specification highlights of other enclosures with 10Gb networking, Intel core processors, and more RAM than your desktop PC, but it holds its own when used accordingly. What sets this NAS apart from the crowd is the value. For Prime Big Deal Days, you can buy the QNAP TS-233 for just $152.

Building a new PC should be an enjoyable experience, but with inflated prices and stock availability issues, it's been anything but for the last few years. However, Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days is here to take the sting out of your next build with a deep discount on a fantastic LGA 1700 motherboard. With an industrial, understated design, the Asus TUF Z790-Plus WiFi is a magnificent midrange motherboard packed with all the latest technology. While it's usually $250, this deal drops $45 off that total, so you can allocate more of your budget to other parts of your build. But motherboard deals don't come along that often, so it's likely to be a hot item, and you might want to pick it up sooner rather than later and miss out.

Just a few taps in Google Photos, and you can AI the crowds away. Skógafoss is a must-see, everyone said, and in a country with as much natural beauty as Iceland, that means it’s gonna be some majestic shit. The waterfall didn’t disappoint, but even on a chilly weekday in March, the place was mobbed. My photos — and c’mon, you have to take photos — were littered with tourists in puffy coats, all taking their own pictures of the falls. Not exactly the stuff you print and hang on the wall.A couple of months later, I watched a picture of the same waterfall appear onscreen at Google’s annual developer conference as the company demonstrated its new AI-powered Magic Editor. In this version, a puffy-coated tourist stood in front of the falls on a gray day. CEO Sundar Pichai talks through the edits happening... Continue reading…

Affinity Designer is part of the Affinity suite trio, which also includes Affinity Photo and Affinity Publisher. Serif Affinitys programs make great alternatives to Adobes three most popular software: Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. However, like the Photoshop features missing in Affinity Photo, there are plenty of Illustrator tools you cant find in Affinity Designer. That doesnt make Affinity Designer a bad tool. In fact, it offers a great interface and plenty of helpful tools for digital design. But before you make the jump, you should know what to expect from the tools and what won't be available.
