Asus’s gaming brand Republic of Gamers (ROG) has announced the US availability of its new ROG Cetra Open Wireless earbuds. Announced earlier this year in January, the open-ear wireless earbuds are designed for users who want immersive audio while still being aware of their surroundings, making them suitable for gaming, music, and outdoor activities. The Cetra Open Wireless features an open-ear design that allows environmental sounds to pass through, helping users remain aware of nearby traffic, people, or other sounds while listening to music or playing games.

The MacBook Air has always been the sensible choice — great battery, light enough to forget it’s in your bag. What it’s never been is the one that makes MacBook Pro owners feel slightly embarrassed. Until now, apparently. When Apple switched the M5 MacBook Air to PCIe 4.0 NAND flash, it didn’t just make it faster than its predecessor — it made it faster than some M4 Pro MacBook Pro models too.

Apple‘s rumored smart display could have a genuinely useful hardware trick. A leaker who held an actual prototype says the device, internally called HomePad, might use magnets for mounting on walls.

The delay was confirmed to Axios, with the company saying it wants to prioritize improvements that benefit a broader set of users. The feature has been in the works for months.
