No one seems to know what causes it. | Photo by @inphenite / Reddit Vision Pro owners are posting near-identical reports of a crack appearing on the front glass of their headsets. None of them seem to know how it happened, either.The issue was first spotted by MacRumors, and so far, there have been five separate Redditors who have posted about it in the r/VisionPro subreddit. Engadget also reported that the same happened with its review unit.

The market for AI chatbots is rapidly filling up, with no indication that its growth will slow down soon. The rise of ChatGPT, followed by the advent of Microsoft's Copilot and Google's Gemini, has made it difficult for users to choose the language model that best meets their needs. Furthermore, with programs like LM Studio enabling users to launch various models on their own powerful computers, the question of "Which AI chatbot is the right one for me?" has become even more complex to answer.

ASRock is responsible for creating some of the best motherboards on the market, though simply matching the CPU socket isn't all one needs to consider when buying a main board. Other factors to look at include voltage regulator modules (and their cooling), the number of implemented power phases for CPU power delivery, and connectivity to name but a few. If you're already set on buying an ASRock motherboard, we've rounded up our favorites to help you get started.

Microsoft 365 has become a core part of Microsoft's business over the last decade or so. This subscription service gets you access to all the Microsoft Office apps you've always known, like Word or PowerPoint, with frequent feature additions, all for a relatively low monthly price. However, the subscription model isn't for everyone, and some still prefer buying Office outright with a one-time payment for a perpetual license.

Vice Media CEO Bruce Dixon said today that the company is going to lay off hundreds of employees as it plans a shift toward social platforms, according to a memo to employees obtained by Washington Post reporter Will Sommer.“It is no longer cost-effective for us to distribute our digital content the way we have done previously,” Dixon writes. “Moving forward we will look to partner with established media companies to distribute our digital content, including news, on their global platforms, as we fully transition to a studio model.”Vice has been struggling with many of the same challenges affecting other companies across the media industry.
