    The OnePlus Pad is an impressive tablet for its price

    7

    Verge Score

    OnePlus’ first tablet brings high-end features and specs to a midrange price point. It reminds me of the OnePlus we used to know.

    GM killed the Chevy Bolt — and the dream of a small, affordable EV

    The Chevy Bolt’s demise underscores a trend toward larger, heavier, more expensive EVs. But the Bolt was always more practical than dramatic. And that’s why it will be missed.

    Watch this Hackintosh run laps around an M1 Ultra Mac Studio for half the price while we still wait for Apple to actually update the Mac Pro.

    Half-price, faster speeds, and uh, a lot more power consumption. Quinn Nelson at Snazzy Labs has built a new Hackintosh using PC parts that actually gives Apple’s M1 Ultra Mac Studio a run for its money. Just uh, don’t look at the power consumption.

    Ten years ago Samsung announced the most interesting mirrorless camera ever.

    The Samsung Galaxy NX was an interchangeable lens mirrorless camera with a whole-ass Android phone grafted onto the back of it. That meant you could take pictures with a large sensor and various lenses, and then edit and share them right from the camera itself.

    It was a very compelling idea that sadly did not last — Samsung bowed out of the camera industry entirely a mere four years later, despite racking up a list of innovations in the space. The NX is virtually useless now since its software was abandoned by Samsung.

    Still, I enjoyed this lookback on the Galaxy NX from the snappiness YouTube channel and was reminded of when I had an NX review sample that I really didn’t want to send back.

    Look at this custom PC built for the band Trivium.

    Heavy metal requires heavy PC hardware and that’s just what the band Trivium got from the crew at GamersNexus. A custom PC years in the making, the final product is unlike any PC case I’ve seen before and matches the aggressive sounds of Trivium’s music well.

    Webcam mouse!

    Charging your mouse via a port on the underside isn’t cool, you know what’s cool? Taking a picture with the webcam built into the underside of your mouse.

    That’s some CamMouse Innovation.

    Because Tom Wambsgans uses a Samsung phone.

    As he has since the beginning. This season it looks like a Galaxy S22 Plus. Prior seasons have seen him using an S21 Ultra, but he’s always opted for the bigger Samsung phones.

    Other notable characters that use Samsung phones in the show are Logan Roy (admittedly, it’s probably an assistant’s phone) and Karolina Novotney. Most other characters use whatever iPhone was current at time of filming. Kendall started with a Samsung phone in season one but switched to an iPhone in later seasons, probably because of blue bubble envy.

    Additionally, there was poor service on the plane, which would make a video call challenging even if he did use an iPhone.

    Hashtag tech angle.

    Where are you on the desk monitor alignment chart?

    I’m currently a lawful neutral, but drifting towards a chaotic neutral later this year.

    I have one question about this, though: Where are the superultrawide lunatics (of which I used to be one)?
