Season five of “For All Mankind” lands on Apple TV this Friday. The new episodes are must-watch TV for fans of early seasons of the sci-fi series.

As a viewer, I can’t wait to see where this season’s finale takes us in this alt-history timeline’s future.

As someone who bought my first Mac in 2019 as a young student without much money of my own, the MacBook Neo is incredibly inspiring.

Apple finally gave the iPhone 17e the meaningful updates it originally deserved. The 17e offers better performance with the A19 chip, stronger connectivity with the new C1X chip, and MagSafe (which also supports faster 15W wireless charging)! At just $599, it feels like an entry-level iPhone that isn’t full of compromises, and I think it will be the new default iPhone for most people. The most exciting addition has to be MagSafe, which unlocks thousands of new accessories for the 17e. Here are some of my favorites (most of these will work with any iPhone). more…

I know, we’ve been waiting forever for the new Siri and it still isn’t here yet. Many are adopting the cynical view that it won’t be worth the wait, and that AI is mostly hype anyway. I’ve long felt that my own view of AI is somewhat at odds with the very polarized views mostly expressed on the internet. That it’s a villain or a hero. That it’s a mental toddler or a professor. I don’t see it as either, but a recent experience with Claude suggested to me that it is now close to reaching a tipping point … more…
