    This free app turns your MacBook’s trackpad into a makeshift scale.

    Is it a good idea to keep your MacBook in the kitchen while you’re baking? Probably not, but it’s still good to know that developer Kris Shah has created a simple macOS app that can turn your Apple laptop’s trackpad into a makeshift scale, as spotted by Lifehacker.

    Track Weight, available for free on GitHub, does require you to keep one finger resting on the trackpad to use it which is a bit inconvenient, but it’s surprisingly accurate.

    A screenshot of the Track Weight macOS app.

    Bose is partnering with Epson for new home theater projectors.

    Epson has already tip-toed into the all-in-one projector market with its EpiqVision Mini, but the company is looking to expand its consumer-friendly offerings. Yesterday Epson announced a new partnership and a new lineup of all-in-one projectors featuring “Sound by Bose technology” that will launch in the US and China in September 2025.

    There are no other details, but the Bose partnership could help Epson compete with companies like Xgimi and Anker who already offer affordable all-in-one solutions.

    DJI’s first robot vacuum is being announced on August 6th.

    After months of questionable leaks that haven’t revealed many details, DJI has shared a teaser video and image of its first robot vacuum being announced next week. The DJI Romo features a traditional circular robovac design with a pair of extended brushes and what appears to be a sensor array on the front.

    It will also utilize a dock, but despite what the teaser image shows, the transparent version might just be DJI showing off the dock’s internals and functionality.

    Two versions of the DJI Romo robot vacuum parked in its dock.
    Will the DJI Romo robovac actually be available in a white or transparent version? We’ll find out soon, and whether the company plans to release it in the US.
