When billionaire Elon Musk introduced Grok 3, his AI company xAIβs latest flagship model, in a live stream last Monday, he described it as a βmaximally truth-seeking AI.β Yet it appears that Grok 3 was briefly censoring unflattering facts about President Donald Trump β and Musk himself. Over the weekend, users on social media reported [β¦]
If you take a look at the current landscape of charging accessories in 2025, it seems like everyone is doing the same thing. Every brand has its flagship 3 in 1 charger or a 140W wall charger, or a Magsafe charging brick. So what I wanted to do is highlight some products that have brought some unique twists to a product category that seems to have been stale. Let me know which is your favorite!
We may see the M4 MacBook Air as soon as March. In the Power On newsletter this weekend, Bloombergβs Mark Gurman reports that Apple is readying itself for the launch of the upgraded laptop next month. The company is βpreparing its marketing, sales and retail teams for the debut,β according to Gurmanβs sources, and itβs letting inventory of the existing models wind down. The M4 MacBook Air is expected to come in two sizes, 13-inch and 15-inch, like the previous model.
Apple introduced the M3 MacBook Air last March, and unveiled its new M4 chip a few months later, bringing that first to the iPad Pro. In October, it refreshed the iMac, Mac mini and MacBook Pros with the M4 family of chips. The MacBook Air is now due for its turn. While the laptop didnβt get the M4 chip in the fall, Apple did announce a long-awaited memory boost for the lineup at that time, with the M2 and M3 now starting at 16GB of RAM.

Chinese-made medical devices are found in almost every corner of the medical ecosystem, from hospitals to clinics, and the government is getting more concerned.
Hades II just received its second major update as part of its early access development, which was a greatΒ excuse for me to jump back in. Since its initial release, IΓ’ΒΒve logged more than 30 hours and actually held myself back from playing much more Γ’ΒΒ I donΓ’ΒΒt want to get tired of the game before it hits 1.0 Γ’ΒΒ but with the new update, I wanted to see whatΓ’ΒΒs new and try to beat the new final boss on my very first run.
Sadly, I havenΓ’ΒΒt even been able to see what the boss is yet. I did make it to the updateΓ’ΒΒs new region, but I got destroyed by a dangerous miniboss. Still, IΓ’ΒΒve still been really impressed with what Supergiant Games has added since May to make whatΓ’ΒΒs already a very good game even better.
The big additions are impressive. Hades II initially launched with six regions Γ’ΒΒ four for an Underworld route and two for a Γ’ΒΒsurfaceΓ’ΒΒ route Γ’ΒΒ and with each major update, Supergiant has added a new region with new enemies, characters, and music to round out that surface route.
The first major update, which came out in October, added the gameΓ’ΒΒs first new region, Mount Olympus, and it feels as epic as Mount Olympus should. It has grand architecture, fearsome e …
Apple is readying its MacBook Air line for an update to M4 chips in March, according to Bloombergβs Mark Gurman in todayβs Power On newsletter. With the slim laptopsβ spec bump, the MacBook lineβs M4 transition will be complete.
Gurman didnβt provide timing beyond that the laptops are coming next month, but as usual before it launches a product, Apple is βpreparing its marketing, sales and retail teams for the debutβ and letting its retail stock of the laptops clear out. Both the 13-inch and 15-inch models are expected to come at the same time, like last year.
Since the Apple Silicon transition, the MacBook Airs have largely shared specs with the low-end MacBook Pro, just packed into a slimmer laptop with omissions like fewer ports and no cooling fan. The base model 14-inch Pro starts with 10-core CPUs and 10-core GPUs and feature 16GB of RAM β you can get a sense of that configurationβs performance from our review of the base M4 MacBook Pro. Ideally, the new Air models will also get the Proβs key upgrade of being able to simultaneously connect to two external displays with the lid open.
That leaves only the Mac Studio and Mac Pro, which are still M2-generation machines, without M4 chips. Gurman has pegged the Mac Studioβs M4 bump for βbetween March and Juneβ and the Mac Proβs anywhere from June to this fall.
In the latest Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman reports that Apple plans on integrating future modems within the main chipset of the device. This means that, in the future, there wonβt be both an A18 chipset alongside a separate C1 modem, instead theyβll all be one. This development will take a few years, though.
According to the Power On newsletter from Mark Gurman, Apple plans to heavily focus on video recording improvements for the new iPhone 17 Pro models. The company has previously focused primarily on photography, so itβs nice to hear that video will be getting some much-needed love.
Aside from unfavorable comparisons to rival advanced driver systems, calling it Godβs Eye could be as misleading a moniker as Teslaβs Full Self-Driving.
According to Bloombergβs Mark Gurman, Apple is βgearing upβ to launch a new version of the 13-inch and 15-inch with the M4 chip. The company is preparing for a debut in March.
