It's not the best time to build a new PC, mainly because RAM and storage prices are just so steep. But if you're still looking to do so, we think this AMD Ryzen 5 9600X is going to be a fantastic option. We reviewed it when it first came out and found that it delivers good power while being efficient and also affordable.

Many startups spend years trying to become a household name. Others just spend $10 million on a Super Bowl ad. That's Dreame's bet. The little-known Chinese robot vacuum company has grand ambitions to become a global consumer electronics giant and chose to run a pricey 30-second spot as its opening move. If it works, the ad may be remembered as the beginning of the rise of the next global tech powerhouse. If it doesn't? Well, let's just say Quibi ran a Super Bowl ad, too.Dreame's CEO wants to be the Chinese Elon MuskDreame - pronounced dreamy - used its half-minute of exposure to promise a dizzying product evolution: from robot vacuums a …Read the full story at The Verge.

In 2019, a 36-year-old Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), newly elected to Congress, was photographed for the inaugural Time 100 Next List, wearing a dashing eye patch and looking upwards with hope. A Harvard-educated Navy SEAL who'd lost his legs while fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan, Crenshaw was in rarefied company, listed among the magazine's candidates for tomorrow's leaders: musicians like Billie Eilish and Bad Bunny; athletes like Coco Gauff and Alysa Liu; business leaders like Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong; fellow political stars like Pete Buttigieg. Crenshaw was, Time declared, "what the Republican Party might look like after Donald Tru …Read the full story at The Verge.

While Raspberry Pis and ESP32s are great for hobbyists, they also regularly find themselves in products. They're very useful, after all, so it's only natural that companies will use them as their hardware of choice when making something small that doesn't need to be an absolute powerhouse.

There are a lot of options when it comes to Android tablets, but Samsung makes some of the best, offering sleek designs, impressive screens, and ample amounts of power. The Galaxy Tab S10+ offers more than anyone would ever need, making it the perfect Android tablet for most people.

Anker has announced its own custom silicon that the company says will bring local AI to audio devices, mobile accessories, and IoT devices. The Thus processor is the world's first neural-net compute-in-memory AI audio chip, which is smaller than traditional chips, and requires less power to run complex computations. That makes it an attractive solution for smaller devices. When comparing Thus to existing chips, Anker CEO Steven Yang said, "Every AI chip built until now stores the model on one side and does the computation on the other. To think, the device has to carry all those parameters across, many times per second, every single infere …Read the full story at The Verge.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve created notes and kept putting off opening them because they were so messy. They weren’t formatted, and I couldn’t tell which was a heading and which was copy.

Claude Code is a very powerful tool, and part of the reason why I'm keeping my Pro subscription. Unfortunately, it seems that some people signing up for Pro may not get Claude Code, as Anthropic is running an experiment in which 2% of new users won't get it. However, while Anthropic has claimed that it's just a small test, the payment plan page has been updated to show that Pro subscribers will no longer have access to Claude Code.

A Raspberry Pi 5 set up costs around $100 once you factor in a high-speed SD card, a proprietary power brick, and a case for the device. Your old phone, on the other hand, is essentially free because it's sat at the back of a junk drawer doing nothing anyway, and it already has better specs than any Raspberry Pi 5 setup while contributing highly to your smart home.

I’ve always been in favor of smarter tech solving brute-force problems, especially when it comes to PC gaming. More efficient rendering, better upscaling, and clever compression — have all worked in the right direction for an industry that's constantly asking for more power. Nvidia's Neural Texture Compression is one such solution, and it aims to slash VRAM usage in games so drastically that it almost sounds magical.

Whether you are a long-time power user or just starting to experiment with agentic workflows, getting the most out of Claude requires moving beyond simple Q&A. As a tech writer who lives and breathes productivity software, I have spent countless hours pushing Anthropics’ flagship model to its limits.

Anthropic's Mythos AI model, a powerful cybersecurity tool that the company said could be dangerous in the wrong hands, has been accessed by a "small group of unauthorized users," Bloomberg reports. An unnamed member of the group, identified only as "a third-party contractor for Anthropic," told the publication that members of a private online forum got into Mythos via a mix of tactics, utilizing the contractor's access and "commonly used internet sleuthing tools."The Claude Mythos Preview is a new general-purpose model that's capable of identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities "in every major operating system and every major web browser …Read the full story at The Verge.
