The best cheap charger deals pair a known name with enough wattage, useful ports, and a real discount. These Anker and Belkin picks clear that bar without asking for much money.

The MacBook Neo launched in March as Apple’s most affordable notebook, but it has already been caught in the company’s recent price hike. The base model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage now costs $699, while the 512GB version with Touch ID is priced at $799. Just days later, Apple has already listed refurbished MacBook Neo models on its online store, giving buyers a cheaper official option, though the savings are not as generous as you might expect. Refurbished models are already showing up The refurbished MacBook Neo models are essentially selling at around the prices of new…

You’ve seen TikTok or Instagram reels of sped-up or slowed-down songs, and new mixes of popular titles that end up getting millions of views. But despite that virality, the original artist never ends up getting paid. Deezer is trying to change things with its new Remix Lab. It’s a new in-app feature that lets fans remix songs with the explicit consent of artists and rights holders. The feature is launching first in France through Deezer Club, with the company saying it could expand to other countries in the coming months. A remix toy with rules According to Deezer, Remix Lab…

If you’ve been holding off on buying a new MacBook Pro because the next generation of Apple Silicon is just around the corner, you might want to reset your expectations. A new report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggests Apple is making its biggest change yet to the Mac chip roadmap. Instead of releasing a full family of M6 processors like it has with every generation since the original M1, the company is reportedly planning to launch only the standard M6 chip first. The more powerful Pro and Max variants? They may not arrive until 2027, and they’ll reportedly skip the…

Polestar, the Swedish EV brand controlled by China’s Geely, has been denied authorization under the US Connected Vehicle Rule. As a result, it will not be able to sell vehicles in the US from the 2027 model year onward. The company is not disappearing from American roads overnight. Polestar says it will continue selling existing US inventory of the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4, and current owners will still have access to service support. But for future models, the door is effectively closing unless something changes. Polestar made minimalism look expensive Polestar was never the loudest EV brand. Its cars…

I have lost count of how many times I have copied something important, copied another thing before pasting it, and then realized the first item was gone. It is a small frustration, but it happens often enough to become annoying. I recently came across ClipboardAI, which caught my attention because it goes beyond Apple’s built-in clipboard by saving copied items into a searchable history. Instead of replacing the last thing you copied every time, ClipboardAI keeps a searchable record of copied text, links, codes, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, and images across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. That means an older…

The Amazon Prime Day sale is almost over, so this is the time to decide if you still need a power bank for travel, work, or daily phone charging. There are plenty of discounted options right now, but these two stood out because they cover very different needs. One is a larger travel-friendly battery with enough output for laptops and phones, while the other is a compact magnetic option that makes more sense for iPhone users. Anker 20,000mAh Power Bank Travel-ready laptop backup Pros Powerful 87W charging Exceptional build quality TSA-approved Convenient built-in USB-C cable Cons Bulky No pass-through charging…

OpenAI has officially taken the wraps off GPT-5.6, its most advanced family of AI models to date. There’s just one catch: unless you’re one of a handful of approved customers, you won’t be able to try it anytime soon. Instead of a broad launch, the company is beginning with a tightly controlled preview while it works through a new U.S. government review process. GPT-5.6 is here, but only a few people can use it The GPT-5.6 family consists of three models: Sol, the flagship model designed for the most demanding workloads, Terra for balanced reasoning and everyday tasks, and Luna,…

Most mindfulness apps want you to create an account, buy subscription, and give a chunk of your attention before they help you unwind. Vän, a new iPhone app from Swiss indie developer Adrian Stanco, is built to be the opposite. I found the app on Reddit, and the pitch alone made me curious enough to try it. Instead of sounds or endless scrolling, it leans entirely on haptics, the tiny vibrations your phone is already capable of producing. The result is a feeling of calm you get by simply holding your smartphone rather than watching the screen. How Vän’s haptic…

We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu,…
