    Ayaneo plans ornate AG01 “Graphics Starship” eGPU dock.

    The gaming handheld and mini-PC maker describes the Zune-brown and RGB dial-clad unit as a “Multifunction Graphics Dock,” but is holding details for a “Sharing Session” on May 18th at 3AM ET, as reported by VideoCardz.

    Mobile graphics docks are slowly coming to market, including AMD 7600M XT-powered ones like the GPD G1 and the ONEXGPU (which can both connect with Oculink), and the RTX 4090-powered ROG XG Mobile.

    Logitech’s updated iPad keyboards are the ones for school lab carts.

    Funding tech in education is tough. Luckily those fresh new iPad Airs can be paired with Logitech’s updated Combo Touch keyboards that are cheaper than Apple’s and can lighten up that purchase order total.

    The 11-inch version is $199.95 and the 13-inch is $229.95, and they offer great protection for K-12. There’s iPad Pro versions, too, for fancy private schools.

    We’re desi, so I guess we wear turbans?

    Meta Al is generating turbans on an overwhelmingly high amount of prompts for Indian men, TechCrunch has found. It’s certainly a stereotype that’s long depicted for South Asians and even Arabs in Hollywood, which has led some folks in the western world to assume any turban wearers’ background and religion.

    Fisker hasn’t paid engineering partner behind unreleased EVs.

    On the brink of bankruptcy, the struggling automaker is facing a nearly $13 million lawsuit by the firm (a subsidiary of Bertrand AG) that developed the Pear crossover and the Alaska pickup truck. Fisker, which says the lawsuit is “without merit,” also apparently hasn’t paid its own automotive carpet supplier.
