The CHERRY XTRFY M42V2 weighs just 45 grams, costs $39.99, and never needs charging.
I actually prefer wired mice since there are no batteries to worry about. This one also has swappable back shells and lets you adjust settings directly on the mouse without installing software.

OpenAI wants to catch dangerous patterns across AI interactions without letting its employees read the underlying prompts.
That sounds contradictory, but its new Private Safety Processing system is designed to make it possible. I break down how it works, why Zero Data Retention complicates AI safety, and the big technical question OpenAI still needs to answer.

OpenAI is fighting back against Apple with something rarely seen in a corporate legal battle: actual private text messages and emails.
The evidence appears to expose mistakes in Apple’s account, including a lawyer emailing the wrong person after confusing two Asian last names. OpenAI’s decision to emphasize that detail also feels like a subtle accusation of cultural ignorance.
Publishing private conversations this openly is uncomfortable, but it makes Apple’s lawsuit look far messier than the company probably intended.

I did it! FeedLizard is officially live on the App Store.
FeedLizard is a clean, private RSS reader for iPhone and iPad. It has no subscriptions, no advertising, no analytics, and no tracking. Just a one-time $4.99 purchase.
This started as a personal project because I wanted an RSS reader that worked the way I wanted. After months of designing, coding, testing, fixing bugs, and waiting for App Review, it is now available for anyone to download.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/feedlizard/id6792160690
I would genuinely appreciate any downloads, shares, ratings, or feedback.

After nearly a decade of disputes, .web is finally moving toward a public launch.
Verisign has added the extension to the DNS root and plans to begin offering .web domains through registrars later this year.

AI hacking sounds like something from a sci-fi movie.
But this time, it happened in a controlled security evaluation, and I have to admit… I’m fascinated by it.
OpenAI says its models were able to find vulnerabilities, chain together attack paths, and access Hugging Face infrastructure while trying to complete a cybersecurity benchmark. The companies are investigating and adding stronger safeguards.
The scary headline is “AI hacked another AI company.”
The more interesting headline is that we are getting a glimpse of what these systems can actually do.
As a Gen X tech nerd who grew up watching science fiction imagine computers that could reason and solve problems, seeing AI demonstrate these kinds of abilities is pretty wild.
The goal now is making sure defenders get these tools before attackers do.
I wrote about why I think this is actually a fascinating moment for cybersecurity:

Surfshark says its FastTrack technology can make VPN connections up to 70 percent faster by finding more efficient routes through its Nexus network.
The company has now expanded FastTrack to more than half of its server locations, which sounds promising. Unfortunately, it remains limited to macOS.
As someone who loves Surfshark and considers it my preferred VPN, I have to ask why. Why are Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android users still being excluded, and when will they get access?

I’d probably just get whatever hardware you like best and nuke windows and install Linux.

PorteuX 2.7 has arrived, and the project’s developer is making a very bold claim.
According to updated Geekbench 6 results, PorteuX now outperforms CachyOS, a Linux distribution many enthusiasts consider one of the fastest available.
The release also brings GNOME 50.2, KDE Plasma 6.7, Linux kernel 7.1.1, a switch to the new NTFS-Plus driver, and a long list of performance-focused optimizations.
Of course, benchmarks are only part of the story. Real-world workloads often tell a different tale. Still, it’s an interesting claim and one that will likely spark plenty of debate in the Linux community.
I took a closer look here:
https://nerds.xyz/2026/06/porteux-2-7-faster-than-cachyos-fastest-linux-distro/
Do you think PorteuX can really claim the performance crown, or does CachyOS still have the edge?

ChromeOS laptops are everywhere, but ChromeOS all-in-one desktops? Not so much.
That’s why CTL’s latest device caught my attention. Instead of building the computer permanently into the display, the company uses a removable computer module that slides into the monitor. When it’s time to upgrade, you can swap the module instead of replacing the entire system.
It’s an interesting approach that could help schools, libraries, healthcare facilities, and other organizations reduce costs and e-waste.
