Justin Ling writing for Bug-eyed and Shameless: Leave Those Kids Alone I’ve had a rule for a long time. It’s a simple rule and it goes like this: What students do on-campus is none of my business. Campus politics is a weird and insular business, and it should
If I’m being totally honest, I don’t understand the Rabbit R1 at all. As a piece of hardware, it looks cool, so I understand if you want to spend $200 on a thing that will look cool on your shelf, but take away the cool physical design and
I reckon with why I'm generous with the Vision Pro falling short of my hopes while I'm happy to drag other products for doing the same thing. Also the best improvised version of Blur's Song 2 I've ever seen.

Joshua Topolsky: Rabbit’s R1 AI Companion Is Not the Future You Were Promised Right now, every time you want to do something like that with your phone, you’re jumping into and out of individual apps; the r1 supposes a future where all your apps connect into a central

Well, I recently got an iPad Air. It turns out I really did miss having an iPad, and having one back in my life is wonderful. I ended up getting the 64GB M1 model on a steep discount ($200 off)…clearly Best Buy was clearing out their inventory for the
Stephen Hackett first reported this yesterday and it was so wild I almost didn't believe it at first. After some searching online, it seems that this folder was generated by Logi Options+, the software that came with my mouse, the Logitech MX Master 3S. Version 1.70 of
David Pierce for The Verge: Rabbit R1 Hands-On: Early Tests With the $199 AI Gadget Almost immediately, though, I started running into stuff the R1 just can’t do. It can’t send emails or make spreadsheets, though Lyu has been demoing both for months. And: Rabbit’s roadmap is

Justin Jackson: We Need More Calm Companies A calm company's purpose is to provide exceptional service to customers while simultaneously improving the lives of the people who work there. I love this, and it’s good to be reminded that there are many companies out there that don’
Today we dive into why LEGO has unexpectedly become my go-to hobby over the past couple years.
I see more people than I’d expect suggesting that enabling digital wallets for payments on the iPhone is massively dangerous and would lead to widespread fraud and I’ve even seen suggestions that these wallets would charge users a service fee to run all transactions. I’m not here
