If you’re shopping for a new laptop, CES is probably one of the best places to keep an eye out for new laptop announcements. At CES 2022, HP has actually unveiled a couple of new laptops under its Dragonfly range which are aimed at business users, and there will be two versions to choose from.

One of which is the HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook, which as the name suggests will be powered by Google’s Chrome OS. It is powered by Intel’s 12th Gen processors and will also be the first Chromebook to support Intel’s vPro platform. It will support as much as 32GB of RAM, up to 512GB of storage, and will have a 51Whr battery that can charge up to 90% in 90 minutes.

Then there is also the Dragonfly G3, which is a more “traditional” Windows-based laptop. It too will be powered by Intel’s 12th Gen processor and will also support up to 32GB of RAM and up to 2TB of storage. It will come with a larger 68Whr battery and will also utilize AI in its software to help make your conference calls better.

No word on pricing for either laptop just yet, but the HP Elite Dragonfly G3 is expected to be available this coming March, while the Chromebook version is slated for April, so we should have more details about pricing then.

A few years ago, IKEA and Sonos entered into a partnership which resulted in the Symfonisk bookshelf speakers. For those unfamiliar, these are essentially speakers that were made by Sonos, but featured an IKEA design meant to help blend it into one’s living room or bedroom so that it doesn’t look out of place.

It has been a few years since the speakers launched, but it appears that both companies decided it was time for an update, as spotted by Dutch website Tweakers. This has resulted in a new version of the Symfonisk speakers being launched where it now sports a slightly updated sign, but also comes with an upgraded processor under the hood, more memory, better power efficiency, and a longer power cable that will give users more flexibility in its placement.

It can also be paired with older Symfonisk speakers if you’re looking to create a stereo effect. Other than that, the rest of the speaker’s hardware will remain the same, meaning it will continue to use 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi for wireless connectivity and streaming, along with support for AirPlay 2 for Apple users.

Right now it appears to be only available in the Netherlands where it is priced at 100 euros each. There is no word on when it will launch in other markets, but seeing as the current models are available in various parts of the world, we don’t see why this would be any different.

The ability for a car to drive itself without supervision from a human is an interesting prospect that many feel will usher in a much safer era for our highways around the country. The benefit of autonomous driving is that the sensors and systems enabling the … Continue reading

Although Apple’s AirTags can be useful for helping find lost belongings, ever since the tracker went on sale last spring, critics have raised concerns that bad actors could use it to stalk people. Brooks Nader, a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, claims someone secretly placed an AirTag in her coat and tracked her movements for several hours.

Earlier this week, Nader was waiting alone for someone at a crowded bar in Tribeca with her coat on the chair behind her. She then visited a couple of other bars with friends.

Nader, who shared her experience on Instagram Stories, said that while she was walking home alone, her phone alerted her to the fact that “someone’s tracking you and has been for a while.” She then found the AirTag. Nader, who wasn’t aware of AirTags beforehand, called the incident “the scariest moment ever and I just want everyone to be aware that this exists.”

It’s not the first time that AirTags have been used to track other people’s movements. Reports have emerged about thieves using them to follow and steal high-end cars. However, the Nader incident is a high-profile one that should draw more attention to the issue.

“We take customer safety very seriously and are committed to AirTag’s privacy and security. AirTag is designed with a set of proactive features to discourage unwanted tracking — a first in the industry — that both inform users if an unknown AirTag might be with them, and deter bad actors from using an AirTag for nefarious purposes,” an Apple spokesperson told Engadget. “If users ever feel their safety is at risk, they are encouraged to contact local law enforcement who can work with Apple to provide any available information about the unknown AirTag.”

Soon after Apple launched the AirTag, it rolled out the iPhone notification Nader mentioned to inform users that someone may be tracking them. In December, the company released an Android app called Tracker Detect, which alerts users to nearby AirTags that are away from their owner and could be on their person. However, since Find My isn’t part of Android, you’d need to know about the app and have it installed to detect a hidden AirTag.

The Alabama Republican, who talked of “blood” sacrifice at Trump’s Jan. 6 rally, said the account from Kevin McCarthy’s ex-aide was “total bovine excrement.”
