I’m a sucker for Sharge’s charging gear because it looks like nothing else, and that continues to be true of the new Sharge 170 model and especially the “Internet Hostkey” in my CES hands-on gallery below. Be warned that the Hostkey comes in a wimpy 40Wh capacity model in addition to its reasonable 72Wh one. Here’s my video with a few earlier Sharge products.

Here at CES 2024, Hyper, J5Create, and Belkin have items on display with the latest in docking and magnetic charging technology — but sadly, none of it is plugged in. Maybe because we’re still waiting on Windows laptops and Android phones to adopt the tech. (There’s nothing to dock yet, right?)

I am in awe of Becca’s attempt to use the Galaxy Z Flip’s selfie screen as her daily driver for a week. I can barely sign my kids out of school or get my authenticator codes without feeling an overwhelming urge to flip open the bigger screen.

95.57 percent of surveyed Steam users are already on Windows 10 and 11, with nearly 2 percent of the remainder on Linux and 1.5 percent on Mac — so we may be talking about fewer than 1 percent of users on these older Windows builds.

Also as of January 1st: Residents can now hold people accountable in civil court for doxing them; automatic license plate readers can’t be as easily used against persons seeking reproductive health care; it’s slightly easier for deepfake porn victims to sue; non-weaponized drones can fly over public events; dealers can sell cars over the internet.

If I’m not mistaken, the car is a Columbia Electric Victoria Phaeton — where “Victoria Phaeton” refers to the entire body design. Originally it was used for horse-drawn carriages, before early electric car makers like Fritchle, Columbia, and Baker adopted it too.

The gorgeous X-ray-like close-up photos in this video are from Fritzchens Fritz — I’ve introduced you to his work before. You can also go straight to his Flickr page if you don’t have time for video. I particularly like this shot.

Chinese boutique handheld firms are moving fast, with Ayaneo and GPD switching out their AMD 7840U in 2024 handhelds for the new 8840U instead — even though that chip is largely unchanged from 7840U. The only public diff is faster AI.
