The CyberFold is a foldable clamshell cyberdeck that bears a striking resemblance to an oversized Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP. Inside is a surprisingly capable Linux computer, complete with a touchscreen, a full QWERTY keyboard, stereo speakers, and a proper port selection.

After endlessly pulling the plug out, and plugging it in again, many reboots and lots of swearing, we finally discovered the problem. The new one was hidden under the PC's side casing.

AltaVista, launched in December 1995, quickly amassed more than 300,000 visitors on its first day and reached almost 80 million daily visitors within two years.

Factory's key differentiator is its ability to switch between different foundation models, such as Anthropic's Claude or Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, enhancing its coding capabilities.

Claude Opus 4.7 is a step up from Opus 4.6, particularly for advanced software engineering tasks and complex coding areas that previously required more hand-holding.

Bell Labs, the once-famed research arm of AT&T, celebrated the centennial of its founding last year. In its heyday, starting in the 1940s, the lab created a cascade of inventions, including the transistor, information theory and an enduring computer software language. The labs' digital DNA is in our smartphones, social media and chatbot conversations. Every hour of your day has a bit of Bell Labs in it, observed Jon Gertner, author of The Idea Factory, a history of the storied research center.

"Claude has regressed to the point it cannot be trusted to perform complex engineering," an AMD senior director wrote in a widely shared post on GitHub.
