Apple’s new M6 Mac Mini is over $100 off
Really the only negative associated with the new M6-powered Mac Mini is its high price. While the last-gen model debuted at just $599, the faster, but mostly unchanged 2026 edition starts at $899 — except for right now.

OpenAI is sticking more ads in ChatGPT
OpenAI's latest ad format will put images of sponsored products and services on your screen. The ads, which OpenAI will begin testing in the US later this month, will "initially" appear when you generate images with ChatGPT, according to an announcement on Monday. The company first brought ads to ChatGPT in February. Until now, ChatGPT's ads only showed a company's name, logo, and a link to its product in a "sponsored" section beneath your chat. OpenAI's visual ad format will similarly remain separate from the image you generate and will "not influence the answers ChatGPT provides." Ads won't appear if you subscribe to ChatGPT's Plus, Pro, … Read the full story at The Verge.

Google admits not every Android app runs great on Intel Googlebooks
This Asus Googlebook is one of the Intel models that may have issues. | Photo: Antonio G. Di Benedetto / The Verge Google has waited until the day its new Googlebook laptops hit the market to admit that Intel-based models may have issues running some Android apps. Before now, Google has emphasized that the Android-based Googlebooks give owners access to the "entire Play Store library" of apps, along with some clever interactions with Android phones and tablets. Today, in a statement to Android Authority, it admitted that while every app is available, some may not offer smooth performance on every Googlebook. The vast majority of Android apps run smoothly across both Intel and Qualcomm Googlebooks right out of the box. Because many Android apps were o … Read the full story at The Verge.
Our minds aren’t equipped to handle AI
Norbert Wiener, godfather of cybernetics, once said, "The thought of every age is reflected in its technique." For the past century, our thought has been reflected in our computers, including by those in the AI industry. Google's Demis Hassabis calls the brain "a biological approximation to a Turing machine." Elon Musk puts it more bluntly, declaring that "people should just think of the brain as a biological computer." (Musk's brain often worries me.) But humans are more complex than a straightforward comparison to computers gives us credit for - and far more than most of the AI industry seems to appreciate. And as their products push e … Read the full story at The Verge.

The new Fitbit Edge leaks
We don't know a ton about the Fitbit Edge, but it appears to be a successor to the midrange Charge line. It had leaked previously, but we can clearly see in these images posted by Android Headlines, you can see that Google's rumored fitness tracker sort of splits the difference between the Pixel Watch and the Fitbit Air. It has a small screen that is able to display some widgets, but clearly isn't as expansive as a proper smartwatch. Supposedly, this fitness-first wearable will have a seven-day battery life, as well as built-in GPS and an altimeter, making it far more capable than the minimalist Air. It will also have limited app support f … Read the full story at The Verge.
