Tim Walz as “the most radical abortion law in the country” while calling on Americans to “stand against this barbarism.” Friends, there is a morally outrageous bill that has now been signed into law by @GovTimWalz . This bill is the most radical abortion law in the country. We must continue to stand against this barbarism.

I’ve reviewed laptops for decades; and this $499 Core i7 2-in1 laptop is perfect for freelancers
Audio player loading… When I first started writing about tech in the late 1990’s, Gateway 2000 was one of the computer companies that tried to do things differently, with its bovine-themed design filling the pages of computer magazines (aka dead tree with ink on it). “No matter how close you look, the quality shines through” reads one of the slogans. Fast forward to 2023, and Gateway 2000 is now an Acer brand that’s exclusive to Walmart, the world’s largest supermarket chain. Gateway is probably one of the most underrated computer brands around, and the GWCC71416-BK, a svelte 2-in-1 convertible laptop that sells for $499 (down from $699) (opens in new tab) , is perhaps the best example of the type of astounding value for money products Walmart can extract from its suppliers.

google: Google may have an employee ‘problem’ in the US
Google CEO Sundar Pichai recently announced that the company would cut 12,000 jobs or 6% of its global workforce as it braces to face “difficult economic cycles.” As a result of this, a number of departments, including FuchsiaOS, and Area 120, among others, will see a thinner workforce. Now a report has claimed a group of employees staged protests in the US this week at the company’s headquarters in California and New York. As per a report by Bloomberg, a group of employees protested outside the company’s offices in Mountain View, California, on Wednesday in a bid to attract attention to labour conditions for sub-contracted workers and to support thousands of their recently laid-off co-workers. The second rally took place near Google's corporate offices in New York City on Thursday. In this demonstration, nearly 50 Google employees protested shortly after its parent company Alphabet announced fourth-quarter profits of $13.6 billion.

Verwacht geen Apple AirPods Max 2 in 2023
Als je erover denkt om een AirPods Max koptelefoon aan te schaffen, maar bang bent dat een tweede versie er binnenkort aankomt, dan hebben we goed nieuws (of slecht afhankelijk van hoe je het bekijkt). Een Apple-analist zegt namelijk dat de AirPods Max 2 misschien pas eind 2024 of zelfs 2025 wordt gelanceerd. De Apple AirPods Max verscheen in 2020, maar op vlak van audio overtreft hij de AirPods Pro 2 met gemak. In onze Apple AirPods Max review noemden we hem "de perfecte koptelefoon voor Apple-fans". Hij klinkt niet alleen geweldig, maar de noise-cancelling is van hetzelfde niveau de Sony WH-1000XM4 en de Bose 700 . Gebruik je een Android-telefoon of is je budget niet onbeperkt, dan kan deze Apple-koptelefoon van 629 euro niet de beste keuze zijn. Bekend Apple-analist Ming-Chi Kuo (opens in new tab) heeft informatie over de toeleveringsketen van Apple om voorspellingen te doen over de producten die het bedrijf ontwikkelt. Hij heeft het ook bijna altijd bij het rechte … [Read more...] about Verwacht geen Apple AirPods Max 2 in 2023
Apple Watch Ultra 2 zou nog groter display hebben
Als je dacht dat de Apple Watch Ultra met 1,92-inch scherm groot was, zet je dan maar schrap. De volgende Apple Watch Ultra zou namelijk een nog groter scherm kunnen hebben volgens een nieuw lek. Deze info komt van DigiTimes (opens in new tab) , die beweert (via BGR (opens in new tab) ) dat Apple in 2024 een versie van de Apple Watch Ultra zal uitbrengen met een 2,1-inch scherm. Daarnaast zou het zijn OLED-scherm inruilen voor een nieuw microLED-display. Dat helderder kunnen zijn, meer levendige kleuren weergeven en makkelijker te zien zijn uit verschillende kijkhoeken. Eerder vermeldde Mark Gurman het microLED-scherm al en anonieme bronnen zeiden dat het leek alsof de content op de nieuwe Watch Ultra "op glas geschilderd" was. Een sprong van 1,92 inch naar 2,1 inch misschien niet dramatisch... tot je het vergelijkt met andere horloges. De Apple Watch 8 heeft slechts een scherm van 1,69 inch en we merkten in onze Apple Watch Ultra review op dat je dit verschil … [Read more...] about Apple Watch Ultra 2 zou nog groter display hebben
