Remarkable announced a new paper tablet today - albeit one without the advanced color screen found in its recent Paper Pro and Paper Pro Move tablets. The new Remarkable Paper Pure instead features an upgraded version of the black-and-white E Ink display found in the Remarkable 2 that launched over six years ago, and once again skips any screen lighting. Thanks to the new display and under-the-hood upgrades, the company says the Paper Pure is twice as fast at "navigating, zooming, and turning pages" when compared to the Remarkable 2.The Remarkable Paper Pure is available for preorder today for $399 through the company's online store, with …Read the full story at The Verge.

ReMarkable has announced Paper Pure, the third generation of its black-and-white, note-taking-focused tablet line. The Paper Pure joins the Paper Pro and Paper Pro Move, with the reMarkable 2 being discontinued.

I use AI tools for a big portion of my productivity and creativity tasks now, so uploading files to them has become second nature at this point. Things like course notes, research documents, screenshots, image references, and just random PDFs. Bringing in outside context is one of the most useful and underappreciated aspects of AI in my opinion. But among my design notes and article research also sits more personal documents, such as health reports and bank statements.

The safer coin batteries are available in 2032, 2025, and 2016 varieties. | Image: Energizer Energizer has announced a new line of lithium coin batteries it claims are the world's first to eliminate the risk of ingestion burns if swallowed. Its Ultimate Child Shield line includes three sizes available starting today - 2032, 2025, and 2016 - that are commonly used in devices like remotes, wearables, and trackers such as Apple's AirTags.Most swallowed batteries pass right through the body's digestive system without causing any harm. But if one gets stuck in the esophagus there's a risk of it being more than a choking hazard. When the battery makes contact with saliva it can generate an electrical current, resulting in chemical react …Read the full story at The Verge.

We all know not to use our ISP's DNS servers by now, but the decision on which servers to use instead is a little more nuanced. I've self-hosted Pi-hole, used public DNS, and more recently, Quad9 as my main DNS provider. I liked the lack of logging and Quad9's privacy focus, but not every device lets you change the DNS easily.

Old consoles usually become interesting for one of two reasons: the games are still great, or the homebrew scene gives the hardware a second life. The Xbox 360 now has both.

Mira Murati, OpenAI's former CTO, has testified under oath that CEO Sam Altman lied to her about the safety standards for a new AI model. In a video deposition shown during the ongoing Musk v. Altman trial on Wednesday, Murati said Altman falsely stated that OpenAI's legal department determined a new AI model did not need to go through the company's deployment safety board. "As you understand it, was Mr. Altman telling the truth when he made that statement to you?" Murati was asked in the deposition. "No," Murati said.Murati said that during her tenure at OpenAI, Altman made her work more difficult. Her criticism "is completely management …Read the full story at The Verge.

We’ve been reading your feedback on the new homepage. All of it. The kind and encouraging comments, the brutal ones, the “actually this rules,” the “please undo this immediately,” the bug reports, the feature ideas, and yes, the eternal request for dark mode. We appreciate it.A lot of you took the time to share detailed, thoughtful reactions right after launch, and that kind of feedback is useful. It helps us understand where the experience is landing or missing the mark, spot issues and friction, and ultimately sort that feedback into a few buckets. We want to be open and transparent with you about how we’re looking at those buckets of feedback.Bucket 1: Yes, we should fix that. Some feedback points to things we should clearly fix or smooth out, like bugs and rough edges.Feedback that falls into this bucket:The scrollbar presence on the feed (✅ Fixed)Adding “Read More” from the groups of stories when there’s something to link to (✅ Fixed)Adding a way to read more from a category toward the bottom of the page (✅ Fixed)Bucket 2: This is worth investigating. Some feedback points to things worth exploring further. These are repeated requests that may reflect a broader need or pain point, even if the exact proposed solution is not the one we ultimately pursue.Feedback that falls into this bucket:How the Latest feed is presented and engaged with, especially for those of you who love the pure revchron feed (which Latest is). Dark mode. We are actively working on this.Dates on stories in curated story sets. Removing them was intentional so we could more easily bring older stories back to the forefront, especially when they can add color and context to a timely topic. But we hear the frustration here and are thinking about how to address the underlying pain point.Marking a story as read vs. unread. This is a recurring request and speaks to a broader need for more personalized homepage experiences. That’s something we’re actively planning for, even if this exact feature isn’t currently on the roadmap.Bucket 3: Not right now. Some feedback falls into the category of ideas we’re not planning to take on right now. Not because the feedback is bad, but because we have to be deliberate about what we can support.Feedback that falls into this bucket:Free-to-Read and Subscriber Perks sections. We’ve deprecated these sections for now. We’ll revisit if it makes sense down the road.The page structure. We’ve seen a lot of strong opinions on combining curated stories with the firehose feed. We believe in this approach and we need to give it time before considering big structural changes. Many of you love the mix; others, not so much. That’s okay.I want to be candid about what we can support. We’re a pretty small team and every decision has to be weighed against time, resourcing, complexity, editorial needs, business priorities, and the longer-term vision for where The Verge is going (and we have big ambitions for where we want it to go). We can’t commit to every suggestion, even if we genuinely agree that it’s a great idea.We’ll fix what needs fixing and dig into the themes that feel most meaningful. We’ll keep prioritizing and working through tradeoffs and constraints. Most importantly, we’ll stay open about what we’re seeing and learning as we go. Please keep the feedback coming.Here are are the best ways to reach us:Right here in the comments. We also have a feedback form here where you can submit bugs, feedback, requests, etc.Join our user research group for the chance to participate in user interviews, user testing, and surveys, and get access to prototypes and beta drops. We will reach out when a good opportunity aligns.Reach out to our team directly at [email protected]. Support with your account and subscription is handled by our wonderful support team at [email protected].

Proxmox Backup Server is one of those tools that sounds like the correct answer before you even ask the question. It has the right name, the right logo, and the right relationship to the platform many of us already trust. If you're running Proxmox VE, it’s natural to assume Proxmox Backup Server belongs alongside it. That assumption is where my backup plan started getting heavier than it needed to be.

Was I writing with pen and paper, or a stylus on a tablet? It’s getting more difficult than ever to tell. The Remarkable Paper Pure is a follow-up to 2020’s Remarkable 2 and a couple of premium color E Ink tablets. As with Remarkable’s first two digital notepads, the Paper Pure features a black-and-white E Ink screen that sacrifices lighting for writing. The screen’s textured finish feels more like writing on actual paper than a tablet with a smooth glass screen. Without lighting, you can’t use it everywhere. But that tradeoff is important. Every stroke seems directly connected to the tip of the Marker as a result, making it feel more like you’re using an actual pen on a piece of paper rather than a stylus on a screen. It’s better than anything I’ve tested so far.So how about that pen? The Pure comes with a basic battery-powered stylus called the Marker, but I tested the more expensive Marker Plus that adds a dedicated eraser button and is available as part of a more expensive $449 bundle that also includes a new Sleeve Folio case. Its latency is the same as the Remarkable 2’s stylus and not as responsive as the Apple Pencil Pro, but I think the writing experience with Remarkable’s tablets remains unmatched. It’s nice that the stylus can wirelessly charge when attached to the side of the tablet, like the iPad Pro and Air. It’s no thicker than the Remarkable 2’s stylus and attaches more securely than before.There are some other upgrades. The Paper Pure has a faster dual-core processor, a bump from 1GB of RAM to 2GB, and a storage increase from 8GB to 32GB. Comparing the two tablets side by side, the Paper Pure is faster when it comes to navigating the UI and opening documents, but not significantly. While large ebooks and PDFs opened about half a second faster on the Paper Pure, the speed improvements were less than that for other documents, including its native notebooks.Remarkable Paper PureWhere to Buy: $399 at Remarkable $449 at Remarkable (bundle)Remarkable says the Paper Pure’s new third-generation Canvas screen — a customized 10.3-inch version of E Ink’s Carta 1300 panel that’s already in use in many e-readers — offers 20 percent more contrast and a brighter appearance than the Remarkable 2’s second-gen display. There’s a subtle difference between the two, but it’s really only noticeable with both tablets sitting right next to each other.The upgraded screen contributes to the Paper Pure’s slightly snappier UI performance, but it carries forward the Remarkable 2’s 1,872 x 1,404 resolution and 226PPI, which is less than what you’ll find on many other modern tablets this size, including Remarkable’s color screen devices. Small text still looks crisp and legible, just not as crisp as it would on the latest Kobo and Kindle 300PPI e-readers.What I like most about the Paper Pure is a new design that feels even more durable. I treated the original Remarkable like a paper notebook that I could toss around and cram in my backpack, and it’s survived years of abuse. The Remarkable 2 was more durable with a stiffer design, but the Paper Pure now has a back panel made entirely of plastic that I’m even more confident will easily survive regular use and abuse. It’s a little bit thicker than the Remarkable 2 as a result, but at 44 grams lighter it’s easier to carry.The only disappointing design change is that the Paper Pure doesn’t carry forward the contact pads on the edge of the Remarkable 2 that it uses to connect to the company’s excellent Type Folio keyboard case. The change doesn’t entirely rule out a similar accessory for the Paper Pure, but it will have to connect in a different way.The Paper Pure’s software experience is identical to the Remarkable 2’s that’s been regularly updated over the years, but the company is introducing some new features that its older tablets will also get. Webpages saved through Remarkable’s Chrome extension or mobile apps and other imported documents can be converted to editable notebooks, allowing their content to be reorganized or reformatted before sharing with others.The tablets are also getting Google and Microsoft Outlook calendar connectivity for a new meeting notes feature that automatically populates a notebook with details about the agenda pulled from the invite. Additional notes taken during the meeting can be summarized using AI that will highlight important details or action items before sharing.And while the Paper Pure can be used to read ebooks and PDFs with an adequate amount of formatting options, it still lacks the expanded functionality of other E Ink devices. Amazon’s $429.99 Kindle Scribe (if Amazon ever releases the version without a screen light) doubles as a more capable e-reader with access to a large bookstore, while Boox offers several E Ink tablets under $500 that run Android with access to the Google Play Store, further expanding how you can use them.If your priority is finding a digital replacement to stacks of notebooks, sticky notes, and wherever else you jot down your thoughts, the Remarkable Paper Pure is as close as you’ll get to a pen-on-paper experience minus the cluttered stacks of paper. The Paper Pro and Paper Pro Move might be tempting with their excellent color screens, but the Paper Pure is the better option. However, if you’re already a happy Remarkable 2 user, aside from a slightly larger battery there are few compelling reasons to upgrade given the company’s strong commitment to making new features available on its existing devices.Photography by Andrew Liszewski / The Verge

The black and white versions of the latest Tile Pro is $10 off, marking its best price of the year. | Image: Tile If you’re struggling to find a Mother’s Day gift under $30, location trackers are a good investment, helping mom keep tabs on keys, bags, luggage, and other valuables. The latest Tile Pro is one of the best on the market, and it’s on sale for $24.99 ($10 off) at Amazon and directly from Tile. While this isn’t a new deal, it’s still its best price of the year and only $2 shy of its all-time low, which is why it’s worth highlighting ahead of the holiday. Tile ProWhere to Buy: $34.99 $24.99 at Amazon $34.99 $24.99 at TileA big part of why I like the Tile Pro is that it works equally well with both iPhones and Android devices. Compared to other trackers that depend on Google’s Find Hub network, it’s more reliable when trying to track down lost items away from home, which is why it’s our go-to pick for Android users. Apple’s new AirTag still offers more precise location tracking overall for iPhone owners, but the Tile Pro has a few advantages of its own.For one, it includes a keyring hole, so mom can attach it to keys or luggage without buying extra accessories. It’s also Tile’s most capable tracker, offering a Bluetooth range of up to 500 feet and Tile’s loudest ring at 110 decibels, which I’ve found is slightly louder than Apple’s latest AirTag. That comes in handy when trying to track down a misplaced phone, since the Tile Pro can make the phone ring even when it’s set to silent.Plus, it’s the only Tile with a replaceable CR2032 battery, so mom won’t need to replace the tracker itself once the battery dies after about a year. Tile also includes a handful of free safety and convenience features AirTags lack, including two days of location history and crash detection, which can alert emergency contacts if the app detects a car accident. A paid subscription, which starts at $7.99 a month after a free one-week trial, adds extras like SOS alerts that connect to a live emergency dispatcher, local crime reports, and up to $100 in stolen phone protection.
