Claude can now use your computer while you get other things done

Anthropic just rolled out a genuinely useful update. Computer use in Claude Cowork and Claude Code now lets Claude work in the background on your Mac, meaning it clicks, types, and opens apps while you do literally anything else. How does Claude work in the background without taking over my screen? Claude now runs in a background window instead of taking over your display. That means you can keep browsing, writing, or coding while Claude quietly handles its own task behind the scenes. Claude can now use your computer in the background in Claude Cowork and Claude Code.Give it something…

Range Rover Electric arrives with 543hp, 600km range, and a starting price of the moon

The Range Rover has never been shy about luxury, size or price, and its first fully electric version is carrying that tradition into the EV era. Jaguar Land Rover’s (JLR) first battery-electric Range Rover is now open for orders, starting at £154,070, or about $208,420. That makes it one of the most expensive electric SUVs on the market. The electric model costs almost £50,000 more than the standard combustion-engine Range Rover. It is priced in the same territory as the electric Mercedes-Benz G 580 and not far from ultra-luxury gasoline SUVs such as the Bentley Bentayga. That puts the Range…

The wearable deals worth buying this Labor Day are surprisingly easy to miss

Labor Day wearable sales are packed with questionable no-name watches and discounts that aren’t really tied to the holiday. I filtered those out. These four are explicitly part of Amazon or Best Buy’s Labor Day sales, cover different budgets and use cases, and actually look worth buying. Samsung Galaxy Watch7 40mm Best Buy marks the Galaxy Watch7 as a Labor Day Deal at $189.99, down from $249.99. Despite being a 2024 model, it’s still an excellent Android smartwatch thanks to its bright AMOLED display, dual-frequency GPS, and broad health features. In our Galaxy Watch7 review, we found it fast, polished,…

Norway takes aim at smart glasses with plans for tighter regulations, and I’m all for it

Smart glasses started as Google’s awkward, premature vision of wearable computing over a decade ago, but they’ve lately devolved into a full-blown public nuisance. Norway is now moving to rein them in. The country’s digital minister, Karianne Tung, has said that the government is weighing tighter regulations on smart glasses from companies like Meta and Snap, according to an AFP report. What the proposed rules would cover Tung described a clear trend toward combining AI with cameras and microphones built into glasses, headphones, and other everyday objects, and said the goal is to stop that equipment from being used to…

Stuntman: Hollywood Preview: Easier Than The Original

Released in 2002 for the PlayStation 2, the original Stuntman was a great concept that, for me anyway, proved far too challenging to be fun. Perfection was demanded, and extreme specificity was required for progress. It took all the fun out of controlling a car in a video game, which I imagine is how movie stunt drivers probably really feel after the fifth take of the same sequence, so in that way maybe it was a perfect simulation of the stunt driving experience.But I have always remained enamored with the fun concept. Who wouldn’t want to drive a stunt car…
