Apple appears to be testing a hidden pop-up interface for Siri AI in the macOS 27 Golden Gate beta that brings up writing tools and pop-up actions whenever the user selects text. Spotted by a member of Reddit’s r/MacOSBeta community, the floating icon appears at the top left of selected text, expanding as the pointer hovers over it to form a compact pop-up window of writing tools and contextual actions. Currently, the popover offers the Rewrite, Proofread, “How does it sound?” and “Edit with Siri,” as well as options to create key points and summarize text. Contextual actions are based…

Christian de Looper/BGR The base Google Pixel 10 was released in 2025 as part of Google’s 10th generation Pixel phone series. One of the biggest improvements the Pixel 10 brings is a triple rear camera setup, which was previously exclusive to the Pro models. This helped the Pixel 10 become a more versatile shooter than its predecessor, the Pixel 9, thanks to the addition of a telephoto lens to its camera setup. This phone comes with a 48 MP 1/2.0-inch primary wide-angle camera, a 10.8 MP telephoto camera with 5x…

If you’re new to 3D printing, you may have a pertinent question: Are there cases where 3D printing an item is actually more affordable than purchasing it? You need to consider various factors when answering this question. Naturally, the cost of materials will influence the cost of 3D printing something you might otherwise buy in a store. You also need…

According to Consumer Reports, even the best Vizio TVs aren’t impressive. But can you really ask that much from a brand that offers you a 40-inch screen for less than $150? Yes, the Vizio models are very cheap (a strategic partnership with the manufacturers is one reason), although some still claim that they are quite decent for the money. But does the same description apply to their durability? To put it bluntly, survivability seems to depend on the times. Older models (2020 and pre-2020) lasted more than five years, according to several owners. For…
Primakov/Shutterstock The iOS version your iPhone is running on may seem like a trivial detail that’s not worth keeping track of, but it’s actually a must-have for all kinds of practical reasons.

It’s also important to know which version of the software you’re using to see if the features you need are available for that version. Then there’s troubleshooting your phone. Some fixes only work for specific…
ymalmand/Shutterstock Many flagship Android smartphones and even some iPhones come with a hidden feature you might not know about: the ability to charge other devices they’re connected to. This connection is usually made either via a USB-C cable or via the Qi wireless charging protocol. The latter allows smartphones to charge other compatible devices provided they remain back-to-back in physical contact. You can even charge older phones via Qi using this method with a few adjustments. Be aware, however, that wireless charging can generate additional heat, which can impact the…
There are some amazing lightsaber collectibles, including handy dueling sets so you can cosplay and sword fight to your heart’s content. The crazy thing is that the concept of lightsabers came from a random discovery in a camera store. Of course, nothing will ever come close to a real saber, as deadly light swords may never be possible, at least not on the scale of Hollywood. But if you boil things down to the level of a bug, the impressive, and perhaps terrifying, technology is already here. An independent designer named Jonathan Barraclough of…
