The iPhone 16 is great. But it’s great in pretty much exactly the ways you’d expect it to be great — gone, it seems, are the days of big new ideas about these slabs of glass we all use all day. And that’s basically okay! But it does make you wonder: could you just train an AI to tell you everything you need to know about the new iPhone?

For more than two weeks, Brazilians have been without access to X. Brazil’s Supreme Court blocked the platform after Elon Musk failed to comply with court rulings. As X evades the ban and Musk’s companies work slowly toward a resolution, the real concern for many isn’t just the absence of social media.

I used this portable monitor with my MacBook Air for the first time — and now my setup feels complete

Over the years, I’ve trained myself to only use one monitor.

That may seem counterproductive to the millions of people out there who can’t live without a second (or third) screen at their workstations, but it works for me.

Plugable, a brand normally associated with docking stations, has entered the...

Swapping out career professionals for political appointees will result in corruption and incompetence.
