Smith Collection/gado/Getty Images Turning pages on a Kindle is as simple as tapping or sliding your finger across the screen, but previous versions of Amazon’s popular e-book reader had physical buttons that served the same purpose. The idea behind page turn buttons was simple. You can press the button to turn a page regardless of which way you hold the device, making physical buttons a practical choice for situations where one-handed use is important, like reading beside you in bed. But Amazon removed page-turning buttons in 2024 when it discontinued…

Here, the term is an image that designates the management tool integrated into the application. This space makes it possible to visualize at a glance all the media kept on the phone and to target those which take up…
José Adorno/BGR The iPad is the perfect device between the power of the Mac and the always-on-the-go experience of the iPhone. Being an iPad user since this tablet’s debut has allowed me to watch it evolve from a “bigger iPhone” to a multitasking device that is also my favorite for watching my favorite TV shows, writing down my thoughts, and exploring my creativity. From the iPad 2 to the iPad Pro M4, I had a range of iPad models, including Air and mini options. Over the years, I’ve also tried…
As a competitive gamer who occasionally plays AAA titles, 1440p has always seemed like the better choice to me. Despite having an RTX 4090, I couldn’t fully upgrade to 4K for several reasons. First, native 4K is still very demanding on the 4090, meaning I’d have to settle for lower frame rates than I’m comfortable with. Second, DLSS upscaled 4K still looked smoother, especially in motion. And when you’re used to gaming at 1440p on a 360Hz monitor without DLSS, these two compromises are hard to overlook. Luckily, DLSS 4.5 finally convinced me to make the switch this year, at…

Apple is looking for ways to better support apps that include AI agents and AI coding capabilities in the App Store, reports The information. Apple is designing a system that would maintain its security and privacy standards while allowing AI app functionality, but details on how the system would work are not available. Apple began blocking updates to some popular mood coding apps in March because the apps violated App Store rules that prohibit apps from running code that changes their own or other apps’ functionality. Vibe coding apps allow users to create apps and websites with little or no…
There’s something new if you plan to travel. From this Sunday, October 12, all non-European travelers wishing to enter or leave the Schengen area will now have to submit to fingerprinting, a photo and a recording of their personal data. This new system, called EES (Entry/Exit System)marks a major transformation of European border control, with the clear objective of strengthening security and better identifying travelers exceeding the authorized 90 days of stay. Concretely, the EES replaces the traditional stamp on passport. From now on, non-European Union nationals, whether British, American, Canadian or even Japanese tourists, will have their biometric information…
SAAS sellers increase prices faster than inflation and the typical growth rate of companies’ computer budgets, but the Vice-President of Gartner JO Liversidge analyst thinks that stupid buyers can reduce their bills by anticipating price increases and planning to negotiate hard. Speaking during the symposium event of the analyst company in Australia last week, Liversidge said that SaaS sellers had increased prices between 9 and 25% this year. While certain price increases reflect exchange rate changes or the desire for a supplier to invoice more for their goods, many come after Saa companies change the measures they use to set…
Apple reported a hugely successful quarter yesterday, and while giving guidance for the next quarter, the company strongly hinted that it was unlikely that a specific new product would be launched very soon. Every quarter, Apple hosts an investor call where it answers questions related to its earnings and future prospects. Analysts often try to ask questions about future products. And Apple management systematically closes these requests, almost never revealing anything about its future roadmap. But during yesterday’s earnings call, there was a hint related to the future product that Apple proposed, completely spontaneously. During his keynote speech, Apple CFO…
