AlexanDior/Shutterstock Connecting monitors daisy-chained is quite simple once you have the right equipment, and is a great solution if you don’t have enough ports or a long enough cable. Unfortunately, if you want to do this with your standard HDMI cable, you’re out of luck. Without the necessary built-in protocols, HDMI lacks the additional features of its DisplayPort counterpart. There’s no real way to daisy chain monitors via HDMI, so you’ll have to go with alternatives. Daisy-chaining monitors via DisplayPort is not widely available on most modern monitors, and few…

Apple is facing more than 30 lawsuits from people who claim they were harassed using Apple AirTags. The filings come after a 2022 AirTag lawsuit (Hughes v.

In each filing, Apple is accused of releasing the AirTag while being aware that it could be “purchased and used by abusive and dangerous individuals, to track, coerce, control, and otherwise endanger and abuse innocent victims.” Additionally, the lawsuits state that Apple knew that adequate safeguards were not in place when it launched the AirTag in 2021, and Apple is aware that “AirTags remain a significant risk”…

Today’s GPUs are absurdly powerful, and there’s no denying that. Even mid-range cards can blast their way through games that would have melted high-end hardware just a few years ago. And yet, despite all this raw power, we’re still pushed to tweak settings just to get the “right” experience. Whether it’s lower latency, smoother frame rate, better power behavior, or fewer glitches, we all need to delve into our GPU’s driver settings, looking for the toggles we just discovered exist. The problem here is not one of access, but rather fragmentation. I may not have abandoned Nvidia GPUs in over…

As I mentioned a few days ago, breakthroughs in battery technology always seem to be two years away, but there have been some small but interesting developments. One of these, silicon-carbon batteries, is already present in some Android brands, and battery test results clearly illustrate the benefits. But experts say it will still be a while before Apple adopts the new battery chemistry in future iPhones… There is an ongoing arms race between battery capacities and smartphone features. Batteries have become more efficient over the years, but at the same time, those gains have been eaten up by the growing…
