The keyboard company Qwertykeys has temporaily halted all shipments to the United States in response to President Trump’s tariffs on Chinese goods going into effect. The company says it’s working on ways to mitigate shipping costs and that the tariffs have made it so that “all keyboards from China to the U.S. are now subject to 45% tariffs at full value.”“We are closely watching the progress of the situation and really hope that there is something else we can do other than bumping the price up,” the company wrote in a comment on Reddit.Qwertykeys says that its delivery partner, DHL,…
While the best iPad deals usually land during major sale events like Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day, many great iPad deals are attainable outside those times. The day-to-day discounts may come and go like changing winds, but there’s often something to be saved, particularly on the more affordable iPads. The most recent iPad Pro and iPad Air are also regularly discounted, and you can even save a bit on Apple’s new iPad Mini.It’s difficult to know where exactly you can find the most notable iPad deals unless you’re scouring the major retailers on a daily basis. But that’s often…
Amazon sent out five different invites to its upcoming product event, and when pieced together, they spell out a familiar word: Alexa, the name of the company’s digital voice assistant.We assumed the event would be about Alexa’s long-heralded renaissance, and given this message, plus Amazon telling Reuters that the event will be Alexa-focused, it seems certain the new Alexa will arrive this month.The not-so-hidden message suggests that at the event, which is being held on February 26th in New York City, Amazon will launch the new generative AI-powered version of its voice assistant. First announced in September 2023, this “New”…
Wireless charging is less efficient than plugging in a wire, but it’s certainly convenient — especially when you add magnets. Most people who have an iPhone 12 or later and want a magnetic charger should get a Qi2 charger. Any Qi2-certified charger will charge a MagSafe iPhone at up to 15W — just as fast as MagSafe on any phone but the iPhone 16. Qi2 chargers are also less expensive than MagSafe-certified ones, and there are many more options. And unlike MagSafe, Qi2 is an open standard. There’s only one Qi2-certified Android phone right now — the HMD Skyline —…
Sony has updated its Creators’ Cloud platform so that images uploaded to a user’s cloud storage from select Sony cameras can be automatically transferred to Google Drive or Adobe Lightroom. With Google Drive, you can save photos for backup and sharing, and with Adobe Lightroom, images can be processed almost immediately, even by a remote editor. The feature is only compatible with recent Sony cameras (including the FX3, FX30, A1, ZV-E10 II, and A9 III) that support the ability to upload images to the cloud over Wi-Fi or through Sony’s Creators’ App available for Android, iOS, and iPadOS mobile devices.Images…
Reddit has seen an increase in rule-breaking posts across “several communities,” and it has issued a temporary ban on one that featured users calling for violence against people who work for the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).In a note on the subreddit, Reddit says it was banned “due to a prevalence of violent content” and that “inciting and glorifying violence or doxing” violate Reddit’s rules. An unnamed Reddit admin said the ban was meant to be a “cooling-off period” for the community.Reddit also gave a full ban to a subreddit called r/IsElonDeadYet for violating rules “against posting violent…
The goal, Patel says, is to continuously cycle through all of Framework’s actively supported laptops, updating each of them one at a time before looping back around and starting the process over again. Functionality-breaking problems and security fixes will take precedence, while additional features and user requests will be lower-priority. Read the full article here
Last year was the worst year for wireless speaker maker Sonos after it prematurely pushed out a new app that was broken and it’s only just managing to get on top of. But it should have been a glorious year with a new Arc Ultra soundbar, Ace headphones and more launches planned. One of those launches (which was seemingly postponed) is Pinewood – a name first suggested earlier last year. It now seems it will be with us in the next couple of months. Sonos Pinewood (a codename) is a streaming box that’s a Fire TV Stick or Apple TV…
The long block outside of the US Treasury Department on Tuesday was lined with protesters. They flooded across the street with signs bearing slogans: “Nobody elected Musk”; “This is illegal”; “Stop the coup.” It was one of multiple DC protests targeting billionaire Elon Musk’s reported access to core government payment systems, attended by Democratic members of Congress — and citizens who fear too few people are standing in Musk’s way.“What we’re witnessing here is the biggest heist in American history,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) told the tightly packed crowd, which was peppered with signs, surgical masks (a common protest…

Amazon sent out invites today for a February event in New York City. The invite gives few clues as to what will be announced at the event, which will be hosted by Panos Panay and the Amazon Devices & Services team on February 26th.However, a blue swirly logo behind the words “You’re invited” does give off strong Alexa vibes, and it seems very likely that the company will finally officially launch its new supercharged Alexa digital assistant.This will be the first big event hosted by Panos Panay since he joined the company from Microsoft in 2023, replacing Dave Limp as…
There are plenty of top TVs to pick from, but you probably want to get the most bang for your buck. Google TV is a must-have feature for many, packing in all the streaming tech you could need. And TCL’s first ever sets with Google TV might be some of the most affordable that I’ve seen. The P7K-UK Series is the entry point to TCL’s Google TV line-up, offering 4K HDR with a mix of QLED and QD-Mini LED tech. That means better contrast and colours than your bog-standard LED panel. Sizes range from 43-inches all the way up to…
