    Chromebooks can now have customizable RGB keyboards.

    So, technically this feature has been floating around for a while in developer channels and such, but it’s been officially announced today with the release of Chrome OS 116. As of now, Chrome OS enables owners of RGB Chromebooks to customize the colors of each color zone.

    This is particularly interesting since customizable RGB is, stereotypically, a gaming laptop thing, and gaming Chromebooks are...well, they’re not doing so hot over at Google these days.

    The Mercedes laptop is now up for purchase.

    If you’ve been trying to decide between buying a luxury car and a fancy gaming laptop, well, you can now get them both in one.

    A few months ago, MSI announced the Stealth 16 Mercedes-AMG Motorsport, an RGB gaming laptop covered in both RGB and the AMG logo. This massive, very flashy computer is now up for order on MSI’s website. $2,899.99 gets you a Core i9, an OLED screen, 64GB of memory, and 2TB of storage. And a cool luxury car vibe, I assume.

    You can now make TARS, the snarky robot from ‘Interstellar’, with a Raspberry Pi.

    Developer Charlie Diaz has created a miniature prototype complete with functional robotic arms. His guide uses a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, an 8BitDo bluetooth remote, and a 3D printer. Diaz originally tried a full-sized costume, but found that its legs “contacted the ground and got stuck, preventing the walking motion”.

    If you have built one of these and now have it walking around your house, please send me a video immediately.

    In a world full of laptops, is there a place for the iMac?

    Apple hasn’t updated the iMac in well over two years, and it sells far more laptops than desktops these days. What does all of that mean for the future of the desktop computer that saved Apple from bankruptcy 25 years ago?
