Logitech POP ICONS Keys Wireless Keyboard
Logitech has a knack for coming up with keyboards that not only feel just at home on your desk, but also fit right in with your backpack, and their POP ICON Keys are a perfect example of that. Weighing in just a hair over a pound, it slips easily into a backpack without taking up too much room. Launched late last year for a pretty affordable $50 (now a steal at $32.99 with coupon), it’s quickly won over a lot of fans among people who fly a lot and work remotely who can’t bear to compromise on comfort and speed just because they’re on the move.

Disney OpenAI Sora Deal
Disney’s boardroom made a surprise announcement this morning of a three-year agreement with OpenAI.

AMD FSR Redstone Machine Learning Upscaling
AMD has thrown a curveball at high-end gaming with the FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) refresh. Redstone arrived today, along with a new driver for Radeon RX 9000 graphics cards. Redstone is a bundled system made up of four primary components: upscaling, frame creation, ray regeneration, and radiance caching. To improve speed and detail, all four of these employ machine learning models trained on real-world game data.

PHySL Soft Lens Robot See Eyes
Soft robots have long been considered the underdogs of the robotics world. They’re comprised of flexible materials that bend and stretch in ways that seem startlingly similar to living flesh, allowing them to fit into tight areas and handle delicate goods with far more care than a stiff bot could. The only hitch is that without a good method to see where they’re going, these adaptable machines slog along, half-blind and relying on cumbersome add-ons that kind of contradict the idea of their pliable design.

OneXPlayer Super X 2-in-1 Tablet
OneXPlayer has always been about pushing the limits with its hardware, and the Super X takes that ‘we want to be the best’ attitude to a whole new level. This 2-in-1 device appears as a 14-inch device that can transition fluidly between tablet and full-fledged laptop mode, all powered by AMD’s latest Ryzen AI processors. Crowdfunding begins tomorrow on Kickstarter, with costs lowering to a relatively low $1,899 for a build that is roughly comparable to most laptops.
