According to Apple, the AI-powered feature helps authorities crack down on images of child sexual abuse. Others, however, question the ethics of allowing a multi-billion company to have a free pass to peek at our private photos. Apple will roll out the new feature after iOS 15 releases this fall. No matter where you stand, your point is valid. This isn’t a cut-and-dry issue, and nuance is required. But regardless of your stance, you can prevent Apple from scanning your photos if you are so inclined....

We knew this day would come as Microsoft announced last year that it would officially retire the ancient (for browsers) Internet Explorer on June 15, 2022 and unlike Internet Explorer in recent years, that plan worked to perfection. The irascible browser pirate was not only a game-changer when it first arrived on our shores, but it also got into serious trouble with the United States and European governments when Microsoft started packaging it with Windows leading to an antitrust suit which Microsoft lost....

The iPhone 13 line doesn’t offer many striking changes compared to its predecessor. In our “iPhone 13 upgrades suck” article, we were indifferent to improvements like the beastly A15 Bionic processor (the iPhone 12’s A14 Bionic chip was already astronomically powerful), the GPU boost (it’s overkill) and Cinematic Mode (not a major draw for the average Joe). iPhone 14: Everything we know so farPhones with the best battery lifeThe best phone deals in June 2022...

Design This is one ugly notebook, in a sort of mid-2000s goth kind of way. It maintains the stereotypical black and red coloring of gaming notebooks, but with some touches that make you question who designed it.

The big issue is a pattern on the lid, also in black, that looks like it belongs on a flannel shirt....

Design The LG Gram has a very minimalist gray exterior, and it’s too dull for my tastes. The chassis is crafted out of a metal alloy (nano carbon with magnesium), and the only thing worth noting is the silver Gram logo protruding from the center of the lid. When I pressed on the lid just slightly, it bent more than I would have liked. The bigger issue is that the hinge doesn’t provide enough resistance; as I touched the display, it wobbled, making the touch-screen function kind of a turnoff....
