I am unreasonably excited about the ridiculously modular Framework Laptop 16. I did loads of testing that didn’t quite fit into my review, so... I’ll answer your burning questions at 12PM ET and throughout the day, and you can begin adding ‘em now! Hit that comments button and you’ll see our Q&A module.
Don’t be shy: I’ve got this machine right here and am happy to quickly test and measure things for you.
ICYMI, we discovered the founder of Leia is using a Red Hydrogen as his daily driver. The phone was one of our flops of the decade, and made our list of the worst gadgets we’ve touched. But... the maker of its screen is not only alive, but thriving! Take a look:
Remember the a capella group that did the scary-good Windows and iPhone sound effects? They... never stopped, and somehow I’m just learning about it today.
Here are MayTree’s incredible renditions of Street Fighter II, Sonic the Hedgehog, PS1-PS4 startup sounds, Animal Crossing, a Persona 5 vid from just a few weeks ago... heck, here’s their entire “game & effect” YouTube playlist. I am now a subscriber.
The German Bionic Apogee+ is designed to protect backs of medical workers lifting patients out of beds and wheelchairs. It robotically lifts 66 pounds from lower back onto hips and legs, plus adds handles for patients to grab. Hours of use from a small Makita power tool battery!
It didn’t make me feel stronger or faster — except the new robotic spine automatically lifting me upright. It’s designed to be shared among a crew of workers for $9,900.
The service will soon support Nvidia-blessed VRR monitors, and — if your game’s running above 40fps but struggling to hit 60 — it helps! I saw a lil less tearing and visual weirdness as I moved around in Cyberpunk.
It’s less helpful if you’re not in the sweet spot, cuz Nvidia auto-lowers resolution when framerate goes too low. G-Sync is also exclusive to Nvidia’s Ultimate tier, but that’s the only flavor I recommend anyhow.
I’ve poked some fun at Razer’s me-too gaming chairs since the beginning, but the new Razer Iskur V2’s lumbar support is nice!
I tend to lean left and right in my seat, and the “6D” lumbar comfortably tilted with me at CES. The other “Ds” are how lumbar can adjust in/out/up/down with big dials on left and right. Does it stay this comfy after hours of sitting? Here’s hoping!
