iPadOS 27 still needs simpler multitasking, here’s what I’d like to see
Last year, Apple completely reinvented multitasking on the iPad, with the introduction of windowing in iPadOS 26. At first, this meant the removal of the simpler version of multitasking, Split View and Slide Over. Those features did eventually return, but at a cost – they required you to use the clunky new windowing system. I was hoping iPadOS 27 would improve this, but it didn’t. To be clear, I don’t actually have a total…

Apple iTunes still exists, but not the way it used to
You can still buy music from the iTunes Store, believe it or not. It's been just over a quarter of a century since Steve Jobs announced the release of iTunes, and it's still treading water today, in a drastically diminished state. For the Apple faithful, iTunes holds legendary status as the once-predominant digital storefront for organizing and playing music files. At the peak of iTunes' heyday, it held roughly 63% of the US paid…

Seattle Times and Newsday are the latest publications to sue OpenAI and Microsoft
Two more news organizations are suing OpenAI and Microsoft over the supposed use of their journalism to train AI. A lawsuit filed by The Seattle Times and Newsday argued that with the advent of AI, the journalism industry could become “broken beyond repair.” The lawsuit described generative AI as “a snake eating its own tail” that could “destroy the very organizations” that produce the content it’s trained on. “AI products like ChatGPT and CoPilot…

Is the Steam Deck still worth it in 2026?
The Steam Deck was the king of gaming handhelds when it arrived. But with more competition (and a higher price), is it still worth the cost? We're still deep in the trenches of RAMageddon, the memory shortage driven by AI companies utilizing massive amounts of it in data centers, and virtually no sector of the tech world has been spared. This is particularly true for the gaming industry, where console prices have risen in…

How to find your MacBook's diagnostic menu
If your MacBook is having major hardware problems, the Apple Diagnostics menu can help make sense of what's wrong. A MacBook that keeps shutting down, develops display problems or suddenly stops recognizing its keyboard can leave you guessing whether the problem is hardware or software. Apple Diagnostics can narrow that down by testing hardware inside the Mac. Despite the "diagnostic menu" wording you may see online, it isn't something you'll find buried in System…

Reuters reported earlier this week that the agents hijacked a German wiki forum in an incident OpenAI did not disclose.

The comment comes after a group of researchers published documentation of the agents' rogue activity going back to mid-May on DseWiki,…

The reasons rugged laptops are rarely bought by consumers
Rugged laptops solve problems most consumers don't have, and they charge a premium for doing it. Most laptops are designed to handle little more than the occasional bump or an overstuffed backpack. But rugged laptops are designed for much worse. For instance, Panasonic's Toughbook 40 is rated for 6-foot drops, is dust- and water-resistant (IP66) and has been tested to MIL-STD-810H standards. Its touchscreen is compatible with gloves, batteries are replaceable and multiple sections…

You're probably wasting these keys on your keyboard — here's how to remap them
Most of the keys on your keyboard have an important purpose, but that's not the case for all of them.

These keys are useless at best, and in some cases hitting the wrong one (like Caps Lock or Insert) can interrupt you and waste time.…
