Creators have long had plenty of powerful laptops and monitors to choose from. Keyboards and mice? Not so much. ASUS is looking to change that with the expansion of its ProArt accessory lineup. Leading the announcement is the new ProArt Keyboard KD300, a compact low-profile keyboard that’s designed to work alongside the ProArt Mouse MD301, giving creators a matching desktop setup built specifically for productivity instead of gaming. A compact keyboard that doesn’t sacrifice functionality The ProArt Keyboard KD300 adopts a 65% layout, making it considerably smaller than a traditional full-size keyboard while still retaining the essential navigation keys most…

Christopher Nolan’s refusal to carry a smartphone is legendary in Hollywood, but his reasoning isn’t born out of a dramatic, Luddite hatred for modern technology. Instead, it is a deeply practical, highly calculated boundary designed to protect his most valuable creative resource: boredom. Christopher Nolan has spent his career embracing cutting-edge filmmaking technology while resisting one of the most common gadgets on the planet: the smartphone. The Oscar-winning director behind Oppenheimer, Inception, and the upcoming The Odyssey says his decision isn’t about rejecting technology altogether. It’s about protecting something he believes has become increasingly rare – time to think. In…
Meta allowed any public Instagram profile to be used as a reference for AI without users’ consent, but a backlash from Hollywood led to the feature being removed within days. Meta has pulled a feature from its new AI photo and video tools Muse after it drew backlash from big names in Hollywood, including CAA and SAG-AFTRA. The company announced Friday night that it was removing the feature that allowed users to create AI content by @mentioning another public user, essentially using their content as a basis. Meta has axed a controversial feature that allowed users to modify photos from…
Microsoft’s latest plans reportedly focus on making the PC and smartphone experience feel seamless. For years, Phone Link has felt like that one app everyone knows exists but rarely remembers to open. Microsoft apparently wants to change that. According to a report from Windows Central, the company is working on a major overhaul of how smartphones integrate with Windows 11, making phones feel like a native part of the operating system instead of something users access through a separate app. Phone Link is coming out of hiding One of the biggest changes reportedly involves the Phone Companion panel in the…
The upcoming token airdrops scheduled for August 2026 highlight a growing tension within the crypto community: the challenge of balancing rapid technological innovation with the foundational security and consensus that gives Bitcoin its value. While the prospect of “free coins” is always an attention-grabber, these fork attempts reveal a deeper philosophical divide over Bitcoin’s technical trajectory. Bitcoin holders are scheduled to get at least one airdrop this summer, as one explicit hard fork will take place in early August and a separate soft fork attempt appears destined for failure. While not currently viewed as major forks of the Bitcoin network,…
easy ways to get more range out of your EV Modern electric vehicles have come a long way since range anxiety was an actual concern. These days, EV makers have to clear an EPA-verified range of at least 300 miles to be taken seriously. Sorry, Fiat 500e. Some EVs even boast a range closer to 500 miles. Still, for longer road trips or if you plan to be passing through an EV charging desert, it might make sense to try some techniques to squeeze a little more range out of your EV’s battery. Beyond the typical ways to get more…
It seems to be the week for cheap EVs. Right after the production model of the Slate electric truck was revealed, complete with a bump in range, a new European entrant in electric mobility is launching out of stealth mode today and plans to bring its own affordable yet stylish rides to market. Amble’s founders worked at Audi and Ford, started Cowboy ebikes, and cofounded Forpeople, the creative agency that works for, among others, Nio EVs, Arc’teryx, and Herman Miller. Indeed, Amble’s design lead, Julian Hoenig, worked on the infamously canceled Apple car, which goes some way to explaining how…
Ford has admitted to rehiring hundreds of human workers after its aggressive AI adoption strategy backfired. The US automaker hired over 350 veteran engineers, referred to internally as “gray beards”, over the past three years in order to address mistakes made by automated systems. The staff will lead quality reviews after the automation issues cost the company billions of dollars, Bloomberg reported, while some workers will also help improve and train the AI systems. “We had been relying more and more on automated quality systems and not getting the desired results,” said Kumar Galhotra, Ford’s chief operating officer. “We brought…
The milestone is historically significant because it surpasses the billionaire threshold by a factor of 1,000: a trillion dollars is 1,000 billion dollars. Several outlets, including Forbes, Bloomberg (as reported by others), Reuters, and The Washington Post, have described Musk as the world’s first trillionaire following the SpaceX IPO. The transition from billionaire to trillionaire status was swift. According to Bloomberg and Forbes indexes, Musk’s personal fortune would have topped $400 billion by 2024, but the decision to take his space company public proved to be the catalyst for this exponential rise. On Thursday, the initial IPO valuation placed SpaceX…
The FBI recently revealed a facility called the Kinetic Cyber Range, a 22,000-square-foot indoor replica town on its campus in Huntsville that’s used to train agents and other law-enforcement personnel to investigate and respond to cyberattacks. According to the FBI, the range opened in February 2025 and has trained more than 1,400 students, including FBI personnel and partners from other agencies. The simulated environment allows trainees to make mistakes and learn from them before facing real incidents. One reason for building a physical “town” rather than a simple computer lab is that modern cyberattacks often have real-world consequences. A ransomware…
