The Epomaker DynaTab 75X looks super flashy here at CES, and it’s not all that expensive: under $150 for hot-swappable keys, USB-C, Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless (with hidden dongle), and a 10,000mAh battery. It’s a Kickstarter.
We already knew some of the results from his 2023 smartphone awards, but MKBHD made a whole video breaking down the test in more detail. It’s fascinating stuff — and I bet Google is happy about how its phones showed up.
Last week, Apple rejected Hey’s calendar app, and David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH) posted a thread on X (formerly Twitter) today about the resubmission and a new feature in the app so that it has some functionality if you don’t have a Hey account. But DHH still isn’t happy with Apple.
Now that we’ve corrected the Razer flub, a few more Thunderbolt 5 gadgets we spotted at CES: an SSD from Sabrent, an OWC dock, and a TBT5 cable, none of them hooked up.
Don’t necessarily expect big adoption this year. Jason Ziller, aka Intel’s Mr. Thunderbolt, wouldn’t tell me if we’d get even a handful more TBT5 PCs this year (though peripherals should keep coming).
How about Apple? “You know they support every other version. That’s all I can tell you.”
Hailed by some as a more sustainable leather alternative, the company claims its new nopal cactus leather cases require fewer greenhouse gas emissions as well as resources like land and water.
OtterBox says the cases are ruggedized to military standards, too. Hopefully, that means they’re more durable than Apple’s terrible leather replacement. The cactus leather cases will be available for iPhones in black, green, purple, and brown for $59.99 this spring.
Power stations commonly feature a small integrated light, but the Solix C800 Plus attaches a rechargeable camping light to a long retractable pole (that doubles as a selfie stick) to illuminate a larger area of 10 square meters for up to eight hours. It’s loaded with ports and features 768Wh of LFP storage, up to 1200W of AC output, and 300W of solar input. Available in March but pricing is still TBD.
It’s all of five seconds, but Sony snuck in a short look at the upcoming film, based on the Gravity Rush game series, into its CES 2024 press conference. You can see the clip starting at 22:12.
We still know barely anything else about it, or when it might come out, but at least it’s still in development!
Well, an X-Ray video of it, at least, shared by Humane co-founder Imran Chaudhri. The device is set to start shipping in March.
An early pic we received from the CES show floor shows Samsung’s delightful rolling robot trapped in a glass case. I’d love to see this thing actually move around — but it looks like those wheels aren’t going anywhere for now.
In an incredibly unsurprising Sony tie-in, the car will be added to Gran Turismo 7 as part of a patch update “later this year,” according to a blog post. You can get an idea of what it will look like in the game in a new trailer.
