The rechargeable Loop and Card trackerswere rated to last six months before topping up, based on controlled tests. But after over a year of real-world testing, Chipolo “can now confidently say that the battery lasts up to one year on a single full charge, and in some cases even more.”

Fairphone reports its smartphone shipments grew by 42 percent in 2025, no mean feat when the rest of the industryhas been fairly flat. I thought last year’s Fairphone 6was a huge step forward in quality, and it’s a good time for its efforts to expand into the US.

Anthropic’s cybersecurity-focused AI modelfound 271 bugs in Firefox 150, Mozilla CTO Bobby Holley said, calling Claude Mythos Preview “every bit as capable” as top security researchers. Reassuringly, Mozilla hasn’t “seen any bugs that couldn’thave been found by an elite human researcher,” either.

Once championed by the Trump familyafter heavily bankrolling their crypto ambitions, Justin Sun is now unhappy with his chosen bedfellows. Suing Trump-linked World Liberty Financial, Sun alleges in a federal lawsuitthat his former allies maliciously froze his $75 million investment, denouncing the platform as “World Tyranny.”

If I didn’t already have a perfectly good laptop, I’d be saving up my money for this one.(Saving, not preordering, because I always wait for the reviews.)

Following Nevada’s settlement on Friday, West Virginiaand Alabamahave settled with company to address alleged child safety issues, as reported by Bloomberg. Last week, Roblox announced a bunch of new safety updates, including dedicated Kids accounts with increased restrictions.

Governor JB Pritzker signed an executive order today dealing specifically with prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket. State employees were already barred from using insider information for personal gain, but this executive order specifically bans them from using it to make bets on prediction markets.

I wrote about that — and other Catholic concerns — at my friend Rusty’s newsletter while he took the day off.

I just updated my storywith some hands-on impressions and a photo gallery; we should have a quick video coming later today too!

A rock NASA’s Curiosity rover drilled in 2020contained “the most diverse collection of organic molecules ever found on the Red Planet,” including seven never previously detected on Mars. The finding published today in Naturewas made using its onboard Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) laboratory.

Following a teaser earlier this month, Oppo’s Pad Mini Android tablethas launched in China. Its 8.8-inch OLED screen is larger than the iPad Mini’s, but the Pad Mini has slimmer 2.99mm bezels and is just 5.39mm thick. Pricing starts at 3,699 CNY (around $542) for 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

Apple’s outgoing CEOand incoming executive chairman addressed employees today about the transition, Bloombergreports.

Canva CEO Melanie Perkins dodged this question with a lot of charm and verve, but I wonder if the answer is quickly going from Adobe to Anthropic. More on this week’s Decoder!

Don’t call it duct-tape! Tyvek is a plasticthat feels (and creases) like paper, similarly made of fibers bonded together. I have a wallet made of the stuff. The bag has dedicated pockets for Framework’s Expansion Cards, screwdriver, and up to a 13-inch laptop. The $39 sleeve comes in silveror black.

While hyping up its couch keyboard, Framework CEO Nirav Patel showed images of how people use its computers in the living room. It gave me a Leo DiCaprio momentas I noticed a photo from my time testing Bazzite on the Framework Desktop. How about a photo credit, Nirav?

The Framework Laptop 16is the most modular laptop ever made — but we’ve never been huge fans of the uneven and occasionally creaky spacers that let you shift the keyboard and touchpad left and right. Here are new one-piece versions. The touchpadmight feel nicer now that it’s haptic, too! Waiting to hear the price on these.

20 hours of 4K Netflix, says CEO Nirav Patel. It’s got a Core Ultra 3 chip, a 22 percent larger and denser battery, a custom 30-120Hz VRR screen and LPCAMM2 compression mounted memory. Full story coming soon.

It’s even bigger than Framework’s existing 2.5Gbps expansion card, and will definitely stick out the side of your machine. But it’s fast! (Framework gave up on foldable Ethernet portswhen it turned out their internals were too chunky, BTW.) The company isn’t yet saying how much it’ll cost.

That’s Framework CEO Nirav Patel, with a message that’s sure to resonate with his modular computer company’s fanbase. He briefly joked that Framework would announce “Framework AI” today.
