The company followed up on Tuesday with the reveal of the M5 MacBook Air, the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, MacBook Pro models that use said chips, a refreshed Studio Display and a brand-new 27-inch Studio Display XDR.In addition,…

Too often we overestimate the significance of one big defining moment and underestimate the value of making a little progress every day. You’re probably familiar with what’s known as the Serenity Prayer. It goes like this: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Like last year’s budget option, the 6.1-inch 17E starts at $599. It checks more off our wishlist than the 16E, though, with an expanded 256GB of base storage and built-in magnets, rendering it compatible with an entire range of MagSafe accessories (including Qi2 chargers). What’s more, it’s powered by the same A19 chip found in the iPhone 17, which should allow for faster performance. Its Ceramic Shield 2 display is also as durable as the iPhone 17’s, so it won’t scratch as easily as previous models, and the phone offers a 48-megapixel “fusion” camera.We’ve pulled together more spec details in…

My top 10 things to watch Wednesday, March 4 1. Stock futures are pointing to a solidly higher open this morning, in contrast to yesterday’s sharp declines.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC this morning the Trump administration is planning to make “a series of announcements” to stabilize oil flows in the Persian Gulf. In a…

Buying energy drinks in public is embarrassing. Every time I see someone scanning the cooler for their favorite flavor of Monster or Ghost, I guess which accompanying vape flavor they’ve picked out, and I know others are making the same assumption about me when I’m scoring a can of Celsius to beat back a hangover or get lifted before a 10-hour bartending shift.The good news is that it’s easier than ever to purchase your favorite cans from Amazon, and the great news is that you don’t need to put on your Crocs and Cookie Monster jammies to do it. Throw…

Here’s a list of its ports: 1 × USB 4.0 Type-C, 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, 3 × USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, micro SD Card Reader, HDMI 2.0, 2 x Type-C w/ DisplayPort 1.4, and a headphone/Microphone Combo. The webcam is a 2MP 1080p, which gets the job done, but is looking a little long in the tooth at this point.

Anya Taylor-Joy, Alex ConsaniPhoto by: German LarkinFor a museum that has everything, the Louvre still manages to surprise. There are some evenings in Paris that remind people why they moved there, or booked a flight, in the first place—and the first Tuesday night in March is fast becoming one of them. Nearly 300 guests—philanthropists, fashion execs, royals, and stars—made their way through the storied institution’s corridors after dark, led deeper and deeper into the breathtaking galleries. The occasion? The second edition of the Grand Dîner du Louvre; a Paris Fashion Week-adjacent fundraiser that has, in just one year, firmly established…

Jailed during the 2021 coup in Myanmar, American journalist Danny Fenster spent six months as a political prisoner. For much of his incarceration he battled boredom and fear, subsisting on meditation and podcasts on an SD card smuggled in by mail, sent by his girlfriend, Juliana.Now, nearly five years after his release, he collaborated with his cousin Amy Kurzweil, a celebrated New Yorker cartoonist and graphic memoirist, on a long-form interactive comic for The Verge about his imprisonment. I chatted via email with Kurzweil about her role as an illustrator and storyteller in this ambitious long-form project, the responsibilities inherent…
