In today’s digital era, sitting has become the new form of endurance. Many of us often spend more than eight hours a day at our computers. The result is a growing epidemic of chronic back and neck pain, muscle fatigue, and postural stress. The human body was never meant to stay static, yet our work and passions increasingly demand it. The challenge isn’t simply to make sitting more comfortable — it’s to make it healthy.
That challenge is precisely what inspired the creation of the LiberNovo Omni, a groundbreaking ergonomic chair that transforms sitting from a passive act into an active, health-conscious experience. With a design philosophy grounded in movement, alignment, and adaptability, the Omni isn’t just another office or gaming chair—it’s a wellness tool for modern life.
Unlock early savings ahead of Black Friday: From November 1–9, LiberNovo’s official site will feature a dedicated gift card presale, giving early adopters a chance to lock in savings before the full Black Friday & Cyber Monday sale begins.
LiberNovo
A new standard in ergonomic comfort
Traditional chairs focus on cushioning; the Omni focuses on intelligence. Its Dynamic Support System synchronizes every component—the seat, backrest, armrests, and neck rest—to move with your body in real time. Whether you’re designing, writing or coding, the chair continuously adjusts to maintain perfect spinal alignment and balanced posture. This means no more slouching into the screen or straining your neck to stay focused.
At the core of its innovation lies the Bionic FlexFit Backrest, a marvel of adaptive engineering. Built with 16 joints and 8 flexible panels, it hugs the spine’s natural S-curve, distributing pressure evenly and promoting healthy posture throughout the day. Each micro-movement is supported, ensuring that your body remains active and engaged, even while you sit.
Healthy sitting, reimagined
The LiberNovo Omni doesn’t just support—it restores. Its OmniStretch and Spinal Decompression Recline systems allow users to recline up to 160°, decompressing the spine and easing stiffness from prolonged sitting. With one touch, the motorized spinal massage activates, gently stretching and massaging key pressure points to relieve tension and improve circulation. For professionals who spend endless hours immersed in deep focus or creative flow, these restorative features turn short breaks into genuine recovery sessions.
The StepSync Footrest further enhances this wellness-driven design. With a 10° ergonomic tilt, it encourages healthy blood flow through the legs, reducing the risk of numbness and fatigue that often accompany long sitting sessions. Together, these elements create a full-body system of comfort that promotes vitality and balance, not just convenience.
LiberNovo
Tailored comfort for every body
Every person’s spine, posture, and sitting habits are unique—and the Omni recognizes that. It offers 4D adjustable armrests, a 3D neckrest[1] , and multiple recline angles that adapt to your needs. Whether you’re leaning forward in concentration or reclining in reflection, every movement is supported.
The Dynamic Screen Alignment feature keeps your eyes steady and your neck relaxed. As you tilt or recline, the headrest and backrest move independently to maintain your gaze on the screen, eliminating the strain that comes from repetitive head and neck adjustments.
The seat cushion, constructed with multi-density foam, supports your hips with firm stability at the rear and gentle softness at the front, ensuring even weight distribution and improved leg circulation. The result is a sensation of floating comfort, ideal for marathon coding sessions, editing work, or long creative sprints.
Comfort that feeds focus
Sitting comfortably isn’t just about feeling good—it’s about performing better. When your body is relaxed and your posture supported, concentration naturally follows. The Omni’s Four Intelligent Recline Modes—Deep Focus, Solo-Work, Soft Recline, and Spine Flow—are designed to match different phases of productivity and recovery. Whether you’re powering through a design project or unwinding after a long day, the chair moves seamlessly with you, promoting both focus and wellbeing.
LiberNovo
A future where sitting is healthy
The LiberNovo Omni represents more than ergonomic advancement—it’s a reimagining of the relationship between humans and their workspace.
Built for creators, designers, gamers, and anyone who spends hours at a desk, the Omni stands as a testament to what sitting can be: dynamic, supportive, and restorative. It is the world’s first truly active chair—a fusion of science, motion, and comfort that keeps you aligned, energized, and pain-free.
With the LiberNovo Omni, sitting isn’t something you endure—it’s something that sustains you. Welcome to the new era of healthy sitting.

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect upon the prior year, be thankful for what we have, gorge ourselves until we’re near bursting, and then settle into our favorite chairs and watch the first half of a TV show before the tryptophan kicks in. If you usually spend your post-meal time falling asleep to A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, you won’t find it on the usual broadcast or cable channels–it’s exclusively on Apple TV+.
Before you wave that turkey drumstick in the air and curse the state of television and all the darn streaming services you need subscriptions for—yes, I’m talking about you, Uncle Fred—you don’t need a subscription to Apple TV+ to watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. Apple is making the show available to anyone for a limited time. If you are an Apple TV+ subscriber, however, you can watch it anytime.
How to watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving for free on Apple TV+
On November 15 and 16, anyone with an Apple ID can watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. If you own an Apple device, you have one, but if not, Apple IDs are free and you don’t need a credit card to sign up. Once you have signed up, you can watch in several ways:
Through the TV app on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
On smart TVs with the Apple TV app.
On the web at tv.apple.com.
On an Apple TV device.
As we noted when Apple did this same deal with It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, Apple has all the classic Peanuts specials for the holiday season that used to air over broadcast TV. Apple TV+ also has A Charlie Brown Christmas that will have its free airing on Dec. 13 and 14. Apple TV+ also has Happy New Year, Charlie Brown but it is not listed as free-to-view.
A few years ago, Apple acquired the rights to the Peanuts cartoon series that stars Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy, and other memorable characters. Since then, Apple has aired new Peanuts shows such as The Snoopy Show and Snoopy in Space, and new movies, including Peanuts in Space: Secrets of Apollo 10, Lucy’s School, and It’s the Small Things, Charlie Brown.
The Apple TV+ subscription television streaming service is $12.99/£9.99 per month and can be renewed annually for $99/£99. Apple TV+ is also included in the Apple One subscription bundles, which include other Apple services, such as Apple Music, Apple News+, and iCloud storage. Apple One bundles are priced between $19.95/£19.95 and $37.95/£37.95 per month.

2026 iPhone 18 series: Summary
iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are expected to launch in September 2026
iPhone 18 and 18e might not arrive until spring 2027
Folding iPhone also said to launch in September 2026
Smaller dynamic island, camera aperture enhancements, C2 5G modem
Another year, another iPhone, right? Not so fast. As Apple demonstrated with the iPhone Air in 2025 and the surprisingly full-featured regular iPhone 17, sometimes the company can surprise us with something new.
In addition to the ultra-premium folding iPhone, Apple is said to introduce the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max in the fall of 2026, and then in a new scheduling shakeup, the base iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e in the spring of 2027.
Here’s a quick summary of what all the rumors and leaks say to expect from the iPhone 18 models.
iPhone 18/18 Pro: Latest rumors
October 27: Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station reports that the iPhone 18 Pro Max will have a variable aperture lens for the first time.
October 31: Digital Chat Station has a new rumor about the colors – the Pro models will be available in Coffee, Purple, and Burgundy. There may not be a black color, just as there isn’t in the iPhone 17 Pro.
iPhone 18/18 Pro design: Three models, similar designs
Currently, the rumors suggest we’ll see a base iPhone 18, an iPhone 18 Pro, and an iPhone 18 Pro Max. That is in addition to any not-iPhone 18-models like the rumored folding iPhone and second-generation Air.
The designs are said to resemble the current iPhone 17 line. The base iPhone 18 will have just the smaller camera bump found on the iPhone 17, while the Pro and Pro Max will have the wider raised “plateau” with three cameras. Screen sizes should be consistent with the 6.3 and 6.9-inch displays on the current models.
One possible design change, according to a Weibo leaker, is with the charging area on the back of the iPhone 18 Pro models. Reportedly, the ceramic shield section will be “slightly transparent,” but it’s not fully clear what that means.
One rumor suggest there will be three new colors for the Pro models: Coffee, Purple, and Burgundy. The same rumor claims there may be no black color, just like the iPhone 17 Pro.
iPhone 18/18 Pro camera: Aperture upgrades
Apple just upgraded the iPhone 17 camera system with 48MP sensors, so it’s unlikely there will be any significant changes to the hardware. One significant rumor we’ve heard about the iPhone 18 camera system comes from leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo, who reports that the iPhone 18 Pro Max (and only that model) will get a camera with a mechanically-adjustable aperture like DSLR cameras. This would give users great control over background blurring, but primarily with the ability to keep the foreground and background sharp.
The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max’s telephoto lenses are also expected to have a larger overall aperture for sharper pictures in low-light situations.
Expect changes to the aperture of the iPhone 18 Pro.Britta O’Boyle
iPhone 18/18 Pro: Dynamic Island
Apple hasn’t changed the size or shape of the Dynamic Island since its introduction on the iPhone 14 Pro, but some reports suggest there may be changes coming to the iPhone 18’s camera cutout. Some have claimed there will just be a pinhole cutout for the camera, with the whole Face ID assembly under the display, but most reports suggest those changes will be limited to the folding iPhone or arrive on the 20th anniversary model.
However, it still may look different. The ever-reliable Mark Gurman at Bloomberg has claimed that Apple will “shrink” the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 18 models, which suggests that some of the several sensors and emitters required for Face ID will be under the display or combined.
iPhone 18/18 Pro specs: A20 chip
The iPhone 18 line will feature a new A20 processor, likely made using TSMC’s new 2nm fabrication process (which can allow for more complex chips in the same area, and could potentially allow for better power efficiency).
The A20 is rumored to use a new process called Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module (WMCM) packaging to incorporate the RAM into the SoC’s package. It’s not clear what the benefit will be, but more tightly integrated RAM can mean more memory bandwidth and lower RAM latency, or better power efficiency.
iPhone 18/18 Pro: Wireless connectivity
While the iPhone Air features a more advanced version of Apple’s C1 modem, dubbed the C1X, the other iPhone 17 models still use Qualcomm wireless modems. That’s likely to change in the iPhone 18 line.
We’re told to expect a new C2 modem in the iPhone 18 phones, including the Pro and Pro Max. It’s not yet clear what features it will offer, but of course should deliver better performance and energy efficiency than the C1X and likely support high-speed mmWave networks in addition to the standard sub-6 networks.
Apple debuted its local networking chip in the iPhone 17 line as well; the N1 supports Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread networking. We haven’t heard anything about an N2 on the way, and honestly, one probably isn’t needed so soon. Could Apple have an “N1X” surprise in store the way it did with the C1X? It’s possible, but so far the rumor mill expects Apple to build the iPhone 18 line with the same N1 chip as found in the iPhone 17.
However, a report from The Information says that Apple is gearing up to support 5G networks that are served from satellites, namely Starlink satellites. While the iPhone has offered satellite connectivity for emergency situations for years, this would allow the iPhone 18 models to have full internet access via satellite, not just emergency services.
iPhone 18/18 Pro release date: Split launch
There have been consistent reports for some time that Apple will change up its release schedule. In September 2026, Apple will reportedly only release the high-end models: iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, the new folding iPhone, and perhaps an updated iPhone Air.
That means the base model iPhone 18 will wait until spring 2027, when it will reportedly arrive alongside the iPhone 18e. This is a big departure for Apple, and it means that the new iPhones next year will all have price tags of $999 or more.
iPhone 18/18 Pro pricing: A wide range
We haven’t seen any reports about changes in pricing to the existing iPhone lineup in 2026. As it stands, the iPhone 17 starts at $799, the iPhone Air is $999, and the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models start at $1,099 and $1,199, respectively. However, the arrival of the folding iPhone could dramatically change the pricing structure, as it will reportedly have a starting price of $1,999 or more.

When you’re shopping for a new mouse for your Mac, the temptation is to get something flashy. I know because I bought Apple’s own Magic Mouse almost as soon as I saw its beautiful design and multitouch surface. It looks like a mini sports car driving alongside my MacBook Pro.
But when I sit down to work these days, my Magic Mouse remains in my desk drawer. While Apple’s mouse is clearly an advanced accessory, the low-profile design and multitouch interface tends to slow me down. Rather, the mouse I’m reaching for is much more basic—so much so, in fact, that I could buy four of them for the price of one Magic Mouse. My go-to mouse is the Razer DeathAdder Essential Gaming Mouse, which sells for $30 and is on sale today for $17.
Mind you, I’m not a gamer. Quite frankly, if I were, I’d probably pick an entirely different mouse. For my purposes, the Razer DeathAdder Essential Gaming Mouse has everything I need: a comfortable ergonomic design, smooth tracking, a scroll wheel, easy sensitivity adjustment (up to 6,400 dpi), and programmable buttons. The RGB lighting is pretty neat too.
Yes, it has a cord, but let’s be real: how far away from your computer does a mouse really need to be? The 7-foot cable is plenty long for long swipes and long desks and stays free from tangles. It’s so light I barely feel it under my palm, unlike the very persistent Magic Mouse, and it glides easily and smoothly. Most of the time, it doesn’t even feel like it’s tethered to anything—and the best part is I don’t need to flip it upside down to charge it.
I still keep a Magic Trackpad on my desk for gestures and scrolling (though the Death Adder has a scroll wheel), but most of my work is accomplished with the simple Razer DeathAdder Essential Gaming Mouse. Go grab one and you’ll see what a truly magical mouse feels like.

In its conference call to discuss its record-breaking Q4 on Thursday, Apple divulged some information about the future of Apple Intelligence, which has been in limbo since the new Siri was delayed earlier this year. But there’s good news: Apple is on track to deliver the overdue features next year.
In comments to analysts during and after the earnings report, CEO Tim Cook said Apple is “making good progress” on the upgraded Siri and is on track to release the new assistant next year. That’s typically vague, but most reports say the feature will arrive as part of iOS 26.4 or 26.5 in the spring.
Even if the new Siri arrives in March–the earlier side of estimates–it will be more than a year since Apple promised the feature as part of iOS 18. The new Siri includes several components, including App Intents, which allows Siri to integrate with third-party apps, and screen awareness, which allows Siri to see and understand what’s on your screen. Additionally, Siri is expected to be more personal, using mail, messages, and web history to build user profiles.
In addition to the new Siri, Cook also told CNBC that Apple is planning to “integrate with more (AI tools) over time,” another promise we’ve heard before. Apple added ChatGPT to Apple Intelligence with iOS 18.2 last year, and persistent rumors have claimed Apple is in talks with Perplexity and Google for Gemini integration.
Macworld
November is typically marked by some nice new OS updates that add polish and a few minor features to the big release of the year, along with new shows and games on Apple’s services.
Occasionally, we’ll get some hardware release in November as well. This year is shaping up to follow the expected pattern—here’s what we think is coming this month from Apple.
Updated AirTag, HomePod mini, and Apple TV
There are still three new pieces of hardware that have been rumored for a late 2025 release. It’s getting late in the year, but Apple has released new products as late as December 20, so it’s still possible that any or all of these arrive this month:
Updated AirTag: Potentially called AirTag 2, the main differences are a new U2 chip that allows for a longer tracking range and improved battery life, and a speaker that is harder to disable.
Updated HomePod mini: Also maybe called HomePod mini 2, this should upgrade the S5 processor to something more modern that will better support future Apple Intelligence features. It should also have Apple’s N1 networking chip, the upgraded U2 chip, and better sound quality.
Apple TV 4K (4th gen): The A15 should be updated to an A17 Pro, with the goal of supporting future Apple Intelligence features. This product should also get Apple’s N1 wireless chip. Interestingly, there have been some rumors to suggest Apple might put a camera on the Apple TV 4K, either for FaceTime or potentially AI features like recognizing who is watching.
Apps and software updates
This year, the x.1 updates landed a little later than usual. We only just got release candidates of iOS 26.1, macOS 26.1, and all the other 26.1 updates in the last week of October, which means the wide release will come right at the start of November, likely Monday.
This polishes up the interface a little and adds several quality-of-life improvements like an Alarm that’s harder to accidentally turn off, swiping to change tracks in Apple Music, the ability to tint the Liquid Glass effect, and more. iPadOS 26.1 adds Slide Over back, as well.
Right around the start of November we should get the first beta releases of the 26.2 updates. We don’t expect any major new features, but again something of the same scope as the 26.1 updates: polish and some quality-of-life improvements. They could arrive in December or early in the new year.

Apple Mail is a decent alternative to Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Spark, and all the other email clients available for the Mac. But even though Apple has been delivering its in-house mail client for years and regularly updates it, it doesn’t come without criticisms–it could be a much better email client if it weren’t for these annoyances.
Half-hearted AI implementation
Since macOS 15.4 and iOS 18.4, Apple Intelligence has been an integral part of the operating system and also of Apple Mail, but Apple Intelligence can still only “tinker” with email texts–summaries, smart replies, writing tools, and a bit more. There is enormous potential for AI features, especially in email management and spam detection. Instead of relying on real artificial intelligence, Apple Mail continues to rely on so-called “intelligent” folders for organization and spam detection. That is not enough.
Catastrophic spam detection
Because Apple does not currently rely on AI for this and has apparently not made any improvements to the algorithms for “intelligent” spam detection for years, Apple Mail’s filter function is disastrous. It practically doesn’t work at all on the iPhone and iPad, and on the Mac, the results are hit and miss.
Long-time Apple Mail users know the problem: the same annoying spam messages that have been moved to the spam folder countless times end up in the inbox again and again. At the same time, important emails disappear into the spam folder for completely obscure reasons. This is particularly annoying when it comes to really important messages, like bills that are due.
Smart mailboxes are not smart
Anyone using Apple Mail with intelligent mailboxes for email management quickly realizes that the “intelligence” is based on mere filters. Users have to manually list criteria such as “sender – contains – @nerviger-newsletter.de” in order to sort emails specifically. This was a great innovation in 2005 when Apple Mail 2.0 came out and introduced this feature. 20 years later and in light of the AI revolution, it looks old: Even in OS 26, the “intelligence” is limited to creating long if-then lists in the Apple Mail interface.
If you like long, confusing lists, you can use the Smart Mailbox function in Apple Mail.

An increasingly confusing app
Apple Mail originally goes back to Nextmail, the mail client of Steve Jobs’ NextStep operating system, which formed the basis for today’s Apple operating systems. Unfortunately, Apple hasn’t dared to undertake a fundamental redesign of the UI since then but it continues to tack on new functions. The result: Apple Mail is extremely confusing, particularly on the Mac, especially when multiple mail accounts and smart and local folders come into play.
To improve the overview, Apple has gradually introduced features such as mail flags, the VIP folder, and the conversation view. The latest “masterpiece” was the addition of mail categories, which makes things even more complicated for many users. Fortunately, many of these functions can be deactivated so that a little order can be restored.
Even the settings are confusing. Numerous menus create even more chaos.
Foundry
Menus, menus, menus
What cannot be switched off is Apple’s menu mania in Apple Mail for Mac. There is the settings menu, which has grown into a confusing mess over the years. The same applies to the menu bar, which contains dozens of tick boxes and where a small operating error can completely ruin the appearance of Apple Mail. The meaning of the individual menu items sometimes requires an advanced diploma in software design.
If that wasn’t bad enough, there is, of course, the context menu, which simply contains too many menu items that are hardly organized logically. There is not much left of Apple’s basic idea of simple usability here.
Mail categories
The Mail app on the Mac is so messed up that even things that are supposed to make it better cause even more chaos. Since macOS 15/iOS 18, Apple Mail automatically recognizes whether an email is important, contains a transaction or news, or whether it is advertising (not spam, because the English word here is “promotions”).
Unfortunately, the tabs hide all other emails. If you are in the wrong tab, it is easy to overlook important messages. The categorization itself is more like a lottery than a clear logic: important emails suddenly end up under “Advertising,” transactions appear everywhere but not in the proper tab. It is practically impossible to adjust the categorization manually, as emails can only be assigned to the predefined categories.
Account synchronization limits
Anyone who uses multiple email accounts in Apple Mail will be familiar with the problem when switching to new devices. Mail accounts already set up on a Mac are transferred to another Mac, but not to an iPhone or iPad. Conversely, accounts remain within the iOS system: If you add a new iPad to your iPhone, you will find the accounts there, but not on a Mac.
This is particularly annoying because mail accounts often have to be painstakingly set up again, even though Apple actually provides the technology to automatically synchronize accounts on all devices with iCloud and the keychain.
Setting up mail accounts is sometimes like a game of chance. Added to this is the lack of synchronisation between iOS and Mac.
Account login hiccups
Suddenly, Apple Mail wants the password for an account, or the account cannot be recognized at all during setup. This is usually due to a problem with the mail server, but Apple Mail tends to show weaknesses, especially with IMAP accounts from third-party providers that are neither Apple, Google, Microsoft, nor AOL.
There are two reasons for this: Firstly, the setup interface is rather confusing, and secondly, Apple Mail sometimes seems simply unreliable when it comes to configuration. Some accounts cannot be added on individual devices, but then suddenly can be added to others. What is frustrating is that users have little influence over this.
Missing attachments that can’t load
“Here’s an important file!” The problem is that Apple Mail displays the attachment, but it cannot be opened or downloaded. The only solution is to ask the sender of the message to send the files again separately. Conversely, Apple Mail can also play this game and send attachments in such a way that the recipient does not receive them correctly, or some files are missing. This has been a problem for years. But whether and how it occurs seems to depend on the combination of mail software used by the sender and recipient. In any case, Apple Mail plays its own role here.
Upgrade crash game
With every new macOS or iOS version, the Mail app also receives a new version number, and this often causes instability and crashes. Particularly dreaded is the message “Updating the Mail database” on the first start after an upgrade. After that, problems tend to occur: lost emails or attachments, forgotten passwords, or even severe crashes. Apple Mail is particularly sensitive here, so the only real solution is usually to wait for the first bugfix release of the new operating system version.

Apple held its fourth quarter 2025 financial results on Thursday, and the company posted revenue of $102.5 billion, an 8 percent year-over-year increase, and quarterly diluted earnings per share of $1.85. The company reported $27.5 billion in profit.
“Our September quarter results capped off a record fiscal year, with revenue reaching $416 billion, as well as double-digit EPS growth,” Apple Kevan Parekh said in a press release. “And thanks to our very high levels of customer satisfaction and loyalty, our installed base of active devices also reached a new all-time high across all product categories and geographic segments.”
Mac sales were up almost 13 percent year-over-year, which is impressive when considering that the fourth quarter did not see a new Mac release. (The recently released M5 MacBook Pro will be reflected in Q1 2026, and the Mac Studio and MacBook Air released in March are part of Q3 2025.) It is the quarter that includes back-to-school sales, which may account for some of the growth. Apple Services continues to be a major contributor to Apple’s revenue, with a 15 percent increase in Q4.
The iPhone, while generating over $49 billion in revenue, saw an increase of only 6 percent. The iPhone 17 lineups and the iPhone Air were released on September 19, eight days before the close of Q4. Sales of those new iPhones will be better reflected in the next financial quarter.
How the quarter ended year-over-year for Apple:
iPhone: $49.0 billion (up from $46.2 billion)
iPad: $6.95 billion (no major change)
Mac: $8.7 billion (up from $7.7 billion)
Wearables, Home, and Accessories: $9 billion (no major change)
Services: $28.8 billion (up from $25 billion)
Apple’s board of directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.26 per share. The dividend is payable on November 13 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 10.
Apple stated that it believes this holiday season is going to be big. “We expect our December quarter [Q1 2026] total company revenue to grow by 10 to 12 percent year over year, which would be our best quarter ever,” said Parekh. “We expect iPhone revenue to grow double digits year-over-year, which would be our best iPhone quarter ever.” Parekh also said that Apple expects Services revenue to grow at a year-over-year rate similar to that of the fiscal year 2025, as well as an estimated $1.4 billion in tariff-related costs.

Facebook Marketplace has a reputation for having some weird stuff. Take, for instance, this trash can for sale by Brandon Nielsen. It’s not just any old trash can–it features a MacBook as its lid. Open the can by lifting the MacBook lid, and you’ll find a wide opening where the keyboard and trackpad used to be. Dump your trash, close the MacBook lid, and you don’t have to worry about the garbage stinking up the joint.
So, the first question you have (or I have), is, why? “Just thought people didn’t want to stare at trash cans in nice areas,” according to Nielsen in the product description. Well, Nielsen certainly accomplished that–with the MacBook closed, it looks simply like a laptop sitting on a nicely-crafted stand.

If you’re interested in the MacBook trash can, it can be yours for $450 (cash only). Also, you’ll need to make delivery arrangements–Nielsen is located in Scottsdale, Arizona. If you’re really interested, Nielsen apparently has a bunch of old MacBooks lying around, because he “can make more.”
In other Mac trash news, Bewareweegee posted on Reddit about an old, working Core 2 Duo iMac that was actually found in a trash can. Come to think of it, that iMac body could make for a pretty cool trash can lid. Hey Brandon, I’ve got an idea for you…

Photoshop Elements is a photo editing software with a user-friendly interface designed for casual users and amateur photographers. It offers a range of powerful tools, including advanced features that use artificial intelligence to simplify editing tasks, without the complexity of the professional Photoshop version.
While it isn’t the cheapest photo-editing program available for Mac users, it’s long been one of the most popular thanks to its combination of powerful editing tools – based, of course, on the professional, high-end version of Photoshop – and a well designed interface that makes it easy for beginners to achieve impressive results.
The update for 2026 isn’t a massive upgrade but – inevitably – it includes a number of new features that use AI to speed up the editing process, as did the update for 2025. However, the changes to Adobe’s pricing that came with the 2025 update might not appeal to everyone. We’ll run through the changes for 2026 below before discussing some of the best features of Photoshop Elements.
Photoshop Elements – What is new for 2026?
It won’t come as any surprise that the 2026 update for Photoshop Elements – released in October 2025 – leans heavily into AI. In fact, you no longer even have to bother taking photos of your own as the program now uses Adobe’s Firefly technology to provide generative AI features that can create entirely new photos and artwork for you.
To create a new image you first need to create a blank document of the required size – a detail that isn’t clearly explained in the program’s Help files (Adobe needs to tidy up its documentation for new users who may not be familiar with Photoshop Elements). Once that’s done you can simply click on the new Generate Image tool in the program’s main toolbar, which activates a series of options that are displayed at the bottom of the screen.
There’s a text box where you can type a prompt – such as ‘Zebra running down the road’ – and you can either choose to create a photo-realistic image, or a more stylised image that looks like hand-drawn artwork. Then you simply click the Generate button and let Photoshop Elements create your desired image, along with four variations that you can choose from.

You can also use generative AI to add new elements to existing photos, using the new Insert Object tool. This activates a brush tool that allows you to mark an area on your photo where you want to add a new object, and then you type in another prompt to describe the object that you want – such as ‘flying banana’. It’s a lot of fun to experiment with – but there’s a sting in the tail, as these generative AI features are not completely free to use.
Photoshop Elements does give you 25 ‘generative credits’ per month for free, but after that you need to pay for a Firefly subscription, which starts at $9.99/£9.98 per month for 2,000 credits. It’s annoying, though, that this cost isn’t clearly highlighted when you’re using the generative AI tools in Photoshop Elements, with only a Learn More entry for generative credits tucked away within the program’s Help menu.
Fortunately, Photoshop Elements 26 doesn’t just focus on fancy AI features. It also provides some more down-to-earth tools that will help new users and speed up routine editing tasks. The program has used AI – that doesn’t require you to buy extra credits – to update tools such as Restore Photo, which can be used to remove scratches and marks of wear and tear from old scanned photos.
The Remove tool (introduced in the 2025 update) has been updated, making it easier to remove people or other objects from the background of a photo. The option to remove the entire background of a photo has also been improved, working automatically so that you don’t have to spend so much time painting around the main subject in the foreground of the image before removing the background.
The Crop tool has been modified so that it’s easier to select the part of an image that you want to remove or keep, and even the program’s Tool Tips have been updated, providing additional information about each tool when you hover the mouse over the toolbar.
There have been changes to the pricing structure as well, as is often the case when the software is updated. See the pricing section below for more information.
Photoshop Elements – What was new in 2025?
There weren’t a large number of new features in the 2025 edition of Photoshop Elements, that arrived in late 2024, but Adobe did add a number of AI features that quickly perform some very complex tasks.
The Remove tool that can remove people or objects from a photo arrived with the 2025 update. The AI-powered Remove tool works really well, even with photos that include several people standing in front of complex, multi-coloured backgrounds.
Remove people from your photos.
Taking this approach further, the new Guided Edit called Combine Photos allows you to select the foreground subject from one photo and the background from another photo and combine them to create a new image. This was a little more complicated to use, though, and I sometimes found myself selecting the background or foreground subject from the wrong photo, so a little more clarity in the instructions wouldn’t go amiss.
More straightforward are the new AI features in the Quick Action menu within Quick mode. These can provide motion effects, such as zooming the camera in or out, or panning from side to side, and then allow you to export the animated image as an MP4 video file. There are pulsing hearts to declare your love for someone on TikTok, as well as animated frames and particle effects to liven up your posts.
So while this wasn’t a major upgrade there are key features, such as the new Remove tool, which make the program more powerful than ever before.
Our top Photoshop Elements features
Here are a few of our favourite feature that have appeared in Photoshop Elements over the years.
Editing Modes
A key element, so to speak, of Photoshop Elements is that it provides three different editing modes, which are suitable for users with different levels of experience. At the top of the program’s main editing window there are three tabs – Quick, Guided and Advanced – which provide different sets of tools.
If you’re a beginner, or you just want to perform some quick edits to tidy up a photo, then you can click the Quick tab. This takes you into a simple workspace with a basic set of tools for common editing tasks, such as cropping an image, correcting red-eye, or adding text.
There’s also a Quick Actions panel on the right of the window that provides a series of one-click tools that can instantly perform more complex tasks, including color correction, adjusting exposure, or even removing the entire background from a photo. Most of these are one-click tools that work automatically, but there are also simple slider controls that provide more precise control over lighting, color and other settings.
More experienced users who really want to edit their photos in fine detail can select the Advanced tab instead, which opens up the program’s entire array of advanced editing. As well as providing a vast library of filters and effects that can alter the appearance of the entire photo, Advanced mode also includes precise tools for editing and manipulating individual pixels within the image, and using layers to combine multiple effects and objects within a single image.
It’s a bit of a leap, though, to go from Quick mode to Advanced mode, so Photoshop Elements also includes a Guided mode, which includes a series of Guided Edits that provide step-by-step help so that less experienced users can learn how to use some of the program’s more advanced tools. These include Guided Edits for adding text and other effects, creating panoramic photos, or using pan and zoom effects to make your photos look more dynamic.
Sensei / AI
Adobe’s 2022 version introduced new artificial intelligence techniques – which Adobe refers to as Sensei – which could automatically perform editing tasks that might normally require hours of work.
The app has always had a selection of filter effects that could make photos look like paintings, using media such as oil paints or watercolors, but Sensei introduced a new set of Artistic effects that aim to mimic a variety of popular artistic styles, such as cubist and post-impressionist. These aren’t always entirely successful – I suspect Vincent Van Gogh is spinning in his grave right now – but they’re fun to experiment with. One nice touch here is that you can apply the artistic effect to the entire photo, or just to the subject or background, which is a nice way of emphasizing particular aspects of a photo. If your artistic ambitions are a little more modest you can apply some simple animated effects – known as Overlays – such as falling snowflakes or flickering flames, to your photos and then save your work as a short video clip that you can upload to social media.

We’re used to seeing AirPods Pro 2 for $199 and even as low as $169, but we’ve never seen them this cheap. Amazon is selling a pair of Renewed Premium AirPods Pro 2 for just $140, a whopping $109 off Apple’s MSRP and a fantastic price.
Amazon says these Renewed Premium AirPods Pro 2 have been tested and are in perfect order with at least 90 percent battery health. They come with accessories equivalent to those shipping in the original box (MagSafe Charging Case with speaker and lanyard loop, silicone ear tips (four sizes: XS, S, M, L), and a USB-C to USB-C cable), and have a 365-day return policy, so you can get your money back at any time.
The 2nd-gen AirPods Pro are no longer Apple’s flagship earbuds, with the AirPods Pro 3 taking that spot, but they’re still one of our favorites. They offer exceptional audio quality and industry-leading noise cancellation, and we appreciated the earbuds enough to give them a 4.5-star rating when we reviewed them. And with the Hearing Health and Live Translation, they’re packed with features.
And at $140, it’s hard to find a better deal on premium earbuds. So, don’t miss your chance—grab the AirPods Pro 2 before this deal disappears!

There’s a distinction that every software company’s marketing department has to make in terms of what’s a demo, what’s a free trial, what’s a teaser, and what’s the fully-featured version of a product it intends to release. The free version of Avast Security for the Mac, Avast Free Antivirus, combines a powerful antiviral/anti-malware core with several other modules, each with its own varying degree of success.
Downloading and installing the software is simple; Avast Free Antivirus requires macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) or later to install. The installer, somewhat surprisingly, places an uninstaller application in your Mac’s Applications folder for easy removal, a nod to convenience. Once installed, the software both creates a network extension for itself and requests full access to your Mac’s hard drive, which is handled without any undue fuss by the installer.
Like similar Mac antivirus applications, Avast’s antivirus suite is centered around several modules (Smart Scan, Virus Scans, Scam Guardian, Traffic Monitor, Network Inspector, Email Guard, Ransomware Shield, Core Shields, and Quarantine), each with its own settings and functions.
The Smart Scan updates virus definitions and performs a surface-level viral scan, while its Advanced Issues feature scans for ransomware, network vulnerabilities, and fake website threats. However, you will need to subscribe to unlock additional features. Expect ads to pop up frequently offering Avast Security’s upgraded subscription package and its expanded feature set.
Other modules, such as Traffic Monitor, follow up on features available in previous versions, and it’s fun to see where your internet traffic is traveling through and how much data you’re using. The Network Inspector takes this to the next level and offers a full network scan as well as a list of every device currently on the network, so you can be made aware if a device has connected that shouldn’t be there. Granted, this is only a casual set of network controls compared to a dedicated application, but it’s a nice tool to have on hand if you’re curious as to what’s happening on your network.
The Virus Scans module is the heart of the app as you would expect, and there’s a lot to complement it on. Avast’s viral definitions are up to date, the application can scan .zip and .dmg archives, there’s a good level of customization with the preferences, and it’s easy to build a whitelist.
Scanning external volumes is easy, and the scheduling function works well, but the function itself doesn’t jump up and declare that it’s running; you have to go into the Virus Scans module to watch it function. The Deep Scan feature is speedy, even if it could benefit from a timer declaring how much time has passed and/or an ETA as to how much time is remaining, and the overall antiviral element teams up well with the macOS’ Gatekeeper and Xprotect systems, which block everything that’s suspect (you genuinely have to bypass various dialog screens warning you as to what you’re about to do wrong to install malware). This, in turn, corresponds well with the Core Shields module, making it that much harder to install malware on your Mac.
The free version of Avast’s Antivirus found lots of threats. Foundry
Unfortunately, the remaining modules are locked by subscription. The Email Guard module is handy and ties into 22 different types of email accounts (such as Gmail, Outlook, etc.), but it is only available with a Premium account, and there’s no option to try it out without paying (with a subscription it provides decent warnings about spam and scam emails.)
The Web Guard module’s success rate is sporadic, and after clicking through to dozens of questionable links in my Gmail spam folder, it let me visit the link that claimed I had an almost $14,000 cash payment waiting for me, but caught other scam-related links and directed me away from them as needed.
Ransomware Shield, the accompanying sister module, also requires an upgraded account to access, and again, no demo is available in the free version, presenting a missed opportunity to show what the software is capable of.
The Scam Guard module, an AI-assisted application, didn’t work very well in the free version of Avast Antivirus Free. You can drag and drop emails, images, and other files onto it in order to determine how scam-related they might be. Unfortunately this wound up being a disaster. While an innocuous .jpg file of a sleeping puppy came up as non-scam-related, when I dropped more questionable emails onto it, it offered no feedback that the content was linked to something scam-related.
Just a cute puppy. Foundry
The module failed completely when I dropped in a PDF file of a Bitcoin ransom scam email, claiming I’ve been videotaped via my webcam and that this would be sent to my friends, family, and contacts unless several thousand dollars were sent via Bitcoin to the sender. This is the height of a phishing attempt, a ransom attempt through and through, which the Scam Guardian module failed to interpret correctly. The AI assistant was of no help whatsoever.
Just how much you should expect from a free antivirus is arguable, but Avast does clain that the Free Antivirus includes the AI-powered anti-scam protection, defense against online scams, and safer browsing and emailing, so really it’s fair to expect that those elements would work.
Avast will readily let you know that its Ultimate subscription tier is available for free for 60 days, and all you have to do is enter a credit or debit card or PayPal information to set this up, and it states that nothing is due today and that you’ll receive a reminder seven days before billing. If you wish to upgrade from Avast’s free version, the retail version sells for $4.09 per month for the first year with support for one Mac, or $49.08 for the first year if paid in full. Read our full review of Avast Premium Security.
Should you use Avast Free Antivirus
Is Avast’s free version worth trying out? Yes. The antiviral/anti-malware core is as good as it ever was, if not better, and the supporting modules largely round it out and add to its functionality. Still, the Web Guard is hit or miss, the Scam Guard felt like the Hindenburg on an off day during testing, and the constant barrage of reminders to upgrade to the paid subscription tiers is annoying.
There’s something credible here, but this application doesn’t know where it stands between freeware, trialware, and a fully-featured retail version, and there’s something to be said for releasing a fully-featured trial version for a given period of time and letting the user see what the software can actually do.

Whereas the Apple Watch Ultra 2 offered very minimal upgrades two years ago, the Ultra 3 is a complete overhaul of Apple’s rugged outdoor smartwatch. In addition to the expected leap to a new chip, the manufacturer has given the device a longer-lasting battery and a bigger and better screen.
There is also new connectivity that could come in handy on wilderness hikes. In addition to the switch from LTE to 5G, the smartwatch can use satellite connections to contact emergency services or share your location with contacts.
So it’s not a minor update. But is it a worthwhile one? Read on to find out.
Apple Watch Ultra 3: Bigger and better display
If you place the Ultra 1 and Ultra 3 next to each other, you’l notice how thin the display edges have become. Apple says they’re 24 percent thinner, while the display area has increased by five percent.
Apple Watch Ultra 3 (left) and Ultra 1 (right)
Apple has also improved the screen technology. As a result, the contents of the display can be seen sharply and clearly even from unfavourable angles.
Last but not least, scratch resistance is excellent. I tried several times to scratch the screen with my keys, without success.
Apple Watch Ultra 3: The perfect hiking companion
I took the Ultra 3 on a three-day hike in the Steinernes Meer to see how it behaves under stressful conditions.
On the battery front, it lived up to Apple’s promises, lasting almost two days on a single charge. I fully charged it on Thursday evening and went to bed with it. On Friday, we started our multi-day tour in Schönau, and the watch recorded a six-hour hike; I had loaded it with offline maps of the area and used it as a satnav. On the second day, we had a long and strenuous hike lasting 11 hours, of which the watch recorded eight. I only put it on a power bank in my bag towards the end of the tour.
Fortunately, I didn’t have to make an emergency call on the tour, but the Ultra 3 indicated with its satellite icon that network coverage is almost non-existent in the high mountains. On the Ingolstädter Haus, you had to go as far as the cable car ascent to send a message; during the three days on the trail, mobile coverage was spotty at several locations. Having the satellite connection was a reassuring backup for emergencies.
On the negative side, the Ultra 3 with its dual-band GPS still had problems finding its exact location in certain locations, such as between two high mountain faces. During the ascent via the Saugasse to the Kärlinger Haus, the WorkOutDoors app reported several times that I had deviated from the route, even though this is practically impossible: a single path leads to the plateau, which is bordered on both sides by the Sigeretplatte and the Simetsberg. Nevertheless, you can clearly see from the recorded route that the Ultra 3 made several mistakes.

Despite these quibbles, the Ultra 3 is the perfect companion for multi-day hiking tours. The large battery easily lasts for two days, even if you navigate using the watch. And the new satellite antenna ensures a connection even in remote locations.
The only thing Apple still can’t do magically is GPS. The Ultra 3 sometimes loses its exact location in gullies and ravines, and hiking apps can falsely report that you have strayed from the route. With or without the Ultra 3, you still have to rely on your own senses and not rely entirely on digital assistance.
Apple Watch Ultra 3: Gold standard for heart-rate measurement
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 measures heart rate very accurately.
As a comparison reference device, I wore the Polar H10 chest strap during training sessions and synchronised the data with Apple Health. On my first attempt, I did two stretching sessions over the weekend. The two devices, Ultra 3 and Polar H10, show a correlation of 96.1 percent cumulatively across all workouts. This means that the values from the Apple Watch Ultra 3 correspond exactly to the values from the Polar H10 96.1 percent of the time. The latter is a gold standard in heart rate measurement and is even used in clinical studies, so it’s a strong benchmark for accurate performance.
The graph for the first training session might seem confusing, because the two heart rate curves overlap almost completely: that’s what an accuracy of 99.1 percent looks like. The curves for the second workout are slightly further apart; I suspect that the Apple Watch slipped a little on the wrist during training.
Apple Watch Ultra 3: Impressively accurate GPS
The next test is location tracking while hiking outdoors, and again I compared the output of the Apple Watch Ultra 3 against the Polar H10. The Polar Flow app relied on my iPhone 15’s GPS tracking, while the Apple Watch used its own dual-band L1/ L5 connectivity.
Under the same conditions and in the same location, the iPhone with its simple GPS exhibited some deviations and inaccuracies, whereas the Ultra 3 was far more reliable.
Location tracking using the iPhone 15 (left) and the Apple Watch Ultra 3 (right)
Apple Watch Ultra 3: Loaded with features
Apple has upgraded the Apple Watch Ultra with satellite connectivity. As I was (happily) never in an emergency situation away from a mobile phone connection, I tested the demo mode instead. This triggers the smartwatch to search for an available satellite and navigate the user in the right direction to acquire a good connection. In emergencies, a notification can be sent via this interface.
Sending your location to contacts via satellite only works with an activated mobile phone tariff. Satellite messaging also works with an activated tariff. International readers should note that the latter feature is currently available in the U.S., Canada and Mexico only.
The new hypertension notifications feature isn’t exclusive to the Apple Watch Ultra 3, but I would recommend activating it right away. Your watch will recognise warning signs of high blood pressure, which is asymptomatic in the early years. Armed with this timely information, you can react in good time and either prevent or significantly delay serious consequences such as a heart attack or stroke.
To turn on the feature, go to the Settings app on the Apple Watch and scroll down to find and tap the Heart app. Look for Hypertension Notifications and tap this, then follow the instructions until the feature is activated.
There’s also a new Sleep Score feature, but that’s part of watchOS 26 and is available on some older models as well as the new ones. It’s essentially a repackaging of existing sleep data rather than a meaningfully new informational resource. We cover this in our Apple Watch Series 11 review.
Apple Watch Ultra 3: Even longer-lasting battery
On paper, the Apple Watch Ultra 3’s battery capacity (2.31 Wh) has increased by six percent compared to the Ultra 2 and by as much as 10 percent compared to the Ultra 1. In practice, our Ultra 3 review sample lasted almost three full days an a full battery cycle in a significant improvement on previous models.
For comparison, our Ultra 1 lasted just under two days with identical usage. I took screenshots every hour, carried out five training sessions and checked incoming WhatsApp messages. It should be noted that the Ultra 1 already had 246 charging cycles under its belt when this test was carried out, and a reported maximum capacity of 93 percent. But that alone isn’t enough to explain this performance increase.
As with many improvements, there are trade-offs. It took me around two hours, using a 20W Apple power adapter and the bundled cable, to charge the Apple Watch Ultra 3 from zero to 100 percent. That’s a major time investment; by comparison, the SE 3 and Series 11 each charged to full capacity in 65 to 70 minutes. The Ultra 3 charges faster at first, reaching around a quarter of its maximum capacity in the first 15 minutes. The charging curve flattens out after it hits one-third capacity.
Should you buy the Apple Watch Ultra 3?
The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is worth considering for its large and long-lasting battery alone. The estimated battery life has gone up to 42 hours, but even this is rather conservative: that assumes 600 checked time values, 180 notifications, 30 minutes with an active app, 60 minutes of training with music playback and 6 hours of sleep analysis. If your use of notifications and apps is a little more moderate, you can easily achieve three days of use, as I did.
Elsewhere, you get a bigger and better screen, new health features, 5G and satellite connectivity, and a new chip. It’s not cheap, but the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is a good choice for outdoorsy Apple fans.
