Illustration: The Verge Elon Musk’s X Corp. is suing the state of California over AB 587, a state bill requiring social media platforms to report to the state attorney general, semiannually, how they’re tackling moderation of certain categories of speech. The complaint alleges that the bill violates federal and state free speech laws because it “compels companies like X Corp. to engage in speech against their will,” as they’re forced to settle on definitions for “politically-charged” issues like hate speech or racism.X Corp.’s complaint explains that it’s “difficult to reliably define” hate speech, misinformation, political interference, and other content categories. It adds that defining them is “often fraught with political bias” because there’s no accepted... Continue reading…

Microsoft announced the Surface Duo and Surface Neo back in October 2019 and while the latter device was canceled ahead of release, the Duo became available in September 2020. We reviewed the dual-screen Android handset and praised its hardware while still acknowledging its limitations, high price tag, and the very specific market niche that it targets. Today, Microsoft has ended support for the Surface Duo.

Lenovo makes some of the best laptops out there, with a variety of options available for all kinds of use. If you’re looking for a productivity laptop with powerful hardware for creative work, it has a few options there, too. Lenovo’s 2023 lineup consists of two options that stick out — the Lenovo Slim Pro 9i (2023) and Legion Slim 7i (2023). Both these laptops come with somewhat similar specifications, but depending on your needs, one may be better for you than the other.

These days, handheld gaming PCs are all the rage. The Steam Deck is arguably the one that kicked off this trend, but there have since been plenty of Steam Deck alternatives. Two of the newest that you might want to consider are the Lenovo Legion Go and the Asus ROG Ally. The Legion Go brings new features like detachable controllers and the option to use the controllers as a mouse. That said, the Asus ROG Ally is a strong competitor to the Steam Deck since it's a bit more portable and powerful. But which one should you get? We're here for you to dig deeper into all the differences between these two Windows handheld systems.

There's really nothing worse than watching your phone, tablet, or pretty much any gadget run out of battery, especially when you are nowhere near a charging outlet. We've all been there, right? But you can avoid putting yourself in that situation again by simply carrying a portable charger with you when you are stepping out of your house. Portable chargers, commonly referred to as power banks, can help you charge your smartphone and other gadgets like laptops and Steam Deck when you are away from a charging outlet. I recommend carrying one around even if your devices have pretty good battery life because, well, you never know when you'll need more power, right?

Ubuntu is one of the most widely used Linux distributions offering a fancy graphical user interface that Windows and macOS users are sure to enjoy. On the other hand, Google Chrome is one of the most widely used web browsers. So, if you want to use Google Chrome on an Ubuntu laptop or any other Ubuntu machine in place of the default and pre-installed Firefox web browser, you can. There are two ways you can install it. You can enjoy a manual download with the default Firefox web browser, similar to how you might use Edge to do this on Windows, or you can install it using the Terminal.

Active Noise Cancelation is a majorly sought-after feature on earphones and headphones, and for good reason. It removes a lot of outside noise from your listening experience, making it both significantly more peaceful and easier to listen at lower volumes. However, how noise-canceling works on headphones like the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless and the Sony WH-1000XM5 is a bit of a mystery to many. We sat down with Christian Ern, a Principal Product Manager of Consumer Headphones at Sennheiser, at this year's IFA 2023 to help break it down.

Our phones have become so integrated into our lives, especially regarding navigation capabilities. It's a marvel how anybody got around without a smartphone prior to 2008 (when GPS was introduced into smartphones). When you're in your car, your phone's capabilities and features become especially helpful and, in some cases, can even be life-saving. But your smartphone renders useless if the battery is dead or you drop it between the seat and your center console (don't you hate that?!). That's where the best car accessories for smartphones come in.

One area where the Lenovo Yoga 7i 2023 excels is in its battery life. I've tested and reviewed this great Lenovo laptop and put it through my daily grind of writing and browsing YouTube. With a surprisingly efficient 13th-generation Intel Core i7-1355U under the hood, it gets a battery life of up to eight hours and 30 minutes. When the juice runs dry, though, you'll need a charger. Lenovo includes the standard 65W charger in the box, but if you're on the go and need a spare charger, or just prefer one that can power up multiple devices, there are plenty to choose from. We collected eight of our favorites below.
