No matter the model, the latest Apple Watches all employ the same signature design with a square face, side Digital Crown, and button. But you can change the Apple Watch face to personalize it, showing the data you want to see at a glance in colors you love. There are even fun animated Apple Watch faces and personal photos from which to choose. Once you add different Apple Watch faces to your collection, you can easily swap among them.

Memory and storage are in a really strange place as we begin 2024. Some devices have more RAM available than others have in storage, offering mind-boggling amounts of memory. The OnePlus 12, one of the best smartphones right now, offers up to 24GB of RAM, which puts many low and mid-tier computers to shame.

Dell has a pair of new ultrawide monitors it’s showing off ahead of CES, the 40-inch UltraSharp 40 Curved Thunderbolt Hub Monitor (U4025QW) and the 34-inch UltraSharp 34 Curved Thunderbolt Hub Monitor (U3425WE). They’re going on sale next month, with the larger model starting at $2,399.99, and the smaller at $1,019.99.Although Dell’s announcement blog post notes that the monitors are targeting the likes of content creators, data scientists, and engineers rather than gamers, both monitors come with gaming-friendly 120Hz refresh rates. It’s a part of Dell’s aim for them to minimize eye-strain. To this end, they both also feature reduced blue light output, and have built-in ambient light sensors that adjust brightness and color...

Photo by James Bareham / The Verge These days, we are all dealing with huge amounts of information, from meeting notes to social media, to photos and videos, to whatever else we’ve collected — and we are all trying to find some way to store it, organize it, and find it when we need it. If you want to get really basic, you can use a spreadsheet or create a simple set of word-processing documents. Otherwise, you can try what is somewhat inaccurately described as a note-taking app. These apps, at their simplest, store your notes and other thoughts and, at their more complex, are capable of manipulating any and all content you want to drop into them. One of the most well-known has been Evernote, which has gone through quite a few changes over the years, both financially and... Continue reading…

The new Dell XPS line up. | Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge This might not be the biggest shake-up of the Dell XPS lineup ever, but between some bigger laptops and a total revamping of the XPS portfolio, it feels like a big deal. The 13-inch Dell XPS laptop is sticking around, but the touchbar-equipped XPS Plus that ran hot in our review is gone, replaced by the 14-inch XPS. And there’s a new 16-inch XPS to replace both the 15-inch and 17-inch laptops. Plenty of laptop makers have 14-inch and 16-inch devices — notably, Apple launched a MacBook Pro in both sizes back in 2021—but Dell’s flagship XPS laptops have stuck with the more traditional 13-inch and 15-inch sizes.Dell representatives demurred when I asked them if this new size of XPS laptops is meant as a counter to Apple’s own. But it... Continue reading…

If you're using Node.js on your Ubuntu machine or any other Linux distribution, you might want to consider using Node Version Manager (NVM) alongside it, which will let you install and manage multiple versions of Node.js and switch between them. This is important because, during the development process, you might come across a project that needs a different Node.js version. That's why today we'll guide you through the process of installing NVM on Ubuntu Linux.

Microsoft and its partners are betting hard on 2024 being the year of the AI PC, and if laptop names like the MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo didn't make that obvious, there's a bit more coming. Microsoft today announced that Windows 11 laptops launching in 2024 will come with a new key on their keyboards — the Copilot key.

Amazon’s big-screen e-reader features a sharp E Ink display and a handy stylus for taking notes or drawing. | Image: Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge If I were to venture a guess, the desire to read more books is right up there with getting fit, saving money, and eating healthier when it comes to the most common New Year’s resolutions. Fortunately, if you are hoping to up your literary ambitions in 2024, the Kindle Scribe is on sale at Amazon for Prime members with 16GB of storage and a Basic Pen starting at $269.99 ($70 off). You can also pick up the e-reader in the same storage configuration with a Premium Pen, which features a shortcut button and a built-in eraser, starting at $294.99 ($75 off).When we reviewed Amazon’s 10.2-inch e-reader upon its release, the big-screen slate was somewhat lacking in both the features and software departments. Note-taking rivals like the Kobo... Continue reading…

Image: Walmart Have you ever wanted a kitchen full of memes? Well, the Xbox Series S toaster is here and ready to sit next to your Xbox Series X fridge. Yes this is a real toaster that can handle all the bread, English muffins, and frozen waffles you throw at it. It will even toast an Xbox sphere logo onto your bread. Really.Images of an Xbox Series S toaster first emerged nearly a year ago on French websites, but Walmart has now started selling the toaster for $39.99, as spotted by Wario64. While the toaster looks like an Xbox Series S, with its signature black air vent, it also includes a bunch of features you’d actually want for toasting your bread. There are six levels of browning, a removable crumb tray, an LED countdown, and a defrost button.... Continue reading…

This is the yellowest thing I have ever seen. | Image: Clicks A new company called Clicks Technology has announced an iPhone case with a built-in keyboard on the bottom. The case is called Clicks, too; it’s available for $139 and the iPhone 14 Pro version starts shipping on February 1st, with 15 Pro going out in mid-March. The company is also taking reservations for a $159 iPhone 15 Pro Max model, which is coming in “early spring,” according to the website. (Whether any of them is a reasonable purchase is between you and your conscience.) Clicks, which was started by Michael Fisher and Kevin Michaluk (aka MrMobile and CrackBerry Kevin), will show the case off at CES next week.There have been other physical keyboard cases for the iPhone, of course. But the one this calls to mind is Typo, a bad (a... Continue reading…
