Kinda wild that to replace this battery door on my Nikon Z6III (see the torn leatherette), I have to remove the entire back panel of the camera. 🥴

Got the right part from Alibaba. Would you DIY this or have Nikon do it?

Microsoft has sharply raised pricing for its entire Surface PC lineup.

It isn’t a huge deal for these devices that have been on the market for a year or two: anyone who wanted them already bought one.

But this seems like bad news for the company’s next batch of hardware. No under-$1000 options remaining, and the upward trend is rough all around.

Samsung has confirmed to me that tomorrow’s restock of the Galaxy Z TriFold will be the final opportunity to buy the device in the US. As we reported last month, production has ended.

It’s now or never, gadget collectors.

I see a lot of Redditors getting this thing, and while I still find it very cool and use it often, I’m skeptical that the TriFold will gain many new features *exclusive to it* moving forward.

If you’re buying, be satisfied with what it’s capable of today.

Here’s my review of Apple’s latest batch of excellent Mac hardware: the MacBook Air (M5), MacBook Pro (M5 Max), and the glorious Studio Display XDR.

Have you bought any of them? The MBP is a true powerhouse, as always, but it’s an awkward time to buy knowing a flashy revamp is around the corner.

It's true: Samsung confirms to Bloomberg that it's winding down sales of the $2,899 Galaxy Z TriFold effective immediately. Yes, already.

The TriFold was more of a short-lived engineering flex than a new staple in its mobile lineup.

Online restocks have ended. People are still finding inventory at some Samsung US retail stores, but once those units are sold, it's over.

Apple announced the AirPods Max 2 this morning — seemingly out of nowhere! It’s great to see long-overdue features from the AirPods Pro finally make their way to these $549 headphones.

The timing is odd to me. Announcement comes over a week before customers can even preorder them? I’d guess Apple wanted to avoid any possibility of retailer leaks.

Here’s my iPhone 17e review. The upgrades that Apple made are enough to make this an easy choice for people who just want an iPhone — any iPhone — with years of software support to come.

Not everyone needs the nice-to-have perks of the regular 17.

Went with a light yellow backdrop for the images in the review, but here are unused shots that I also liked.

Next up: Sonos is back. The company just announced its first new consumer hardware in over a year, the $299 Sonos Play.

It’s a portable speaker that sits in between the Roam and Move, though CEO Tom Conrad thinks of it more as a “spiritual successor” to the Play:1. Also new: the Era 100 SL.

Something about Threads' tech enthusiast algorithm is getting insufferable.

Just a bunch of dweebs who obsess over specs, use too many emoji, and can't accept when brands other than their favorite do cool stuff.

Agreed that smart glasses can’t match the immersion or overall display quality. At least based on my experience with Xreal and Viture so far. They might get 70% of the way there, but I don’t find it as compelling.

There’s gotta be an in-between with the same stellar Vison Pro displays (ideally with less glare) that’s more comfortable to wear.

Most of the tools you mentioned include AI. Several (incl. Apple Creator Studio) aren’t free.

As someone who has used both quite a bit, Pixelmator Pro’s tools aren’t at par with Photoshop/Lightroom when it comes to object removal, generative fill, etc.

But competition is good. Hopefully it’ll put some pricing pressure on Adobe.
