If you've been hunting for a Thunderbolt 4 dock for your new laptop, Razer has a new option for you to consider, simply called the Razer Thunderbolt 4 Dock. It's loaded with ports, and of course, Chroma RGB lighting, too. Razer says it's USB4 compliant, so it'll be compatible with the next wave of fast peripherals and devices. It's available for preorder through Razer for $329.99, which seems competitive for what it offers.

Taking a trip around this understated, matte black aluminum dock, its front hosts a fast UHS-II SD card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a single Thunderbolt 4 port to plug straight into your computer. On the back is where you'll find most of the ports, including a barrel jack for its 135W power source, three...

Razer’s Huntsman V2 Analog is the latest keyboard built to mimic a controller’s joysticks

Razer's latest mechanical keyboard, the $250 Huntsman V2 Analog, looks similar to the company's previous models, but the biggest differences lie in the switches. This model's optical switches support adjustable actuation (the amount of movement required to register a press), allowing for near-endless customization through Razer's Synapse software.

Perhaps the most appealing feature of these keys is that, instead of being limited to the usual on / off nature of key actuation, they can be programmed with analog inputs to emulate a controller's joysticks for smoother, variable levels of movement and control. You'll be able to program the keyboard so that pressing a key down slightly will make you walk slowly in game, while pressing it...

Apple’s new betas let you try its Watch-based solution for masked iPhone unlocks

With the upcoming release of iOS 14.5 and watchOS 7.4, Apple will let you use your Apple Watch to authenticate and unlock your iPhone while you're wearing a mask. But if you want to try the feature now, you can, as Apple has released public betas for both iOS 14.5 and watchOS 7.4.

Before these releases, people using iPhones with Face ID while wearing a mask could only unlock their phone by entering in their passcode manually, which can quickly become a hassle. But with the new updates installed, if your Apple Watch is unlocked (which it most likely is if it's sitting on your wrist) and as long as it's nearby, when you try to unlock your iPhone while wearing a mask, you'll feel a little buzz from your Apple Watch and your iPhone should...

Ford is increasing its investment in electric and autonomous vehicles to $29 billion, the company's top executives said in an earnings call Thursday. The automaker had previously committed to spend $11.5 billion on electrifying its vehicle lineup through 2022. Now, Ford says it will spend double that amount, while extending the timeline to 2025.

The automaker will spend $7 billion on autonomous vehicles and $22 billion on electric ones. That $22 billion includes $7 billion that the company has already spent since 2016.

Ford said a majority of vehicles it plans on producing will be battery-electric vehicles, but the company also has hybrid and...

Like other online platforms, Pinterest reaped the benefits of an uptick in e-commerce advertising during the holiday season.

The image-sharing platform saw a 76 percent year-over-year jump in fourth quarter revenue, to $706 million, the company said Thursday. Pinterest had 459 global million monthly active users (MAUs) in the fourth quarter, up from 442 million in its third quarter.

Pinterest said in its letter to investors that its revenue growth was mostly driven by a robust holiday season and product improvements in advertising. It saw a six-fold increase in the number of businesses that used its shopping ads format during the fourth quarter.

"We welcomed over 100 million additional monthly active users to Pinterest in 2020, more than...

Even you can afford Serena Williams’ gamer chair

Posted: 04 Feb 2021 02:48 PM PST

There's a great deal to gawk at in Serena Williams' house, from the perfectly shined wood floors to furniture made of Elmo dolls. But there's one item that feels out of place in house full of luxury: a cutesy pastel gamer chair. You can spot the oddly pedestrian item in a recent feature from Architectural Digest.

There's no rule that a legendary athlete like Williams needs a bougie, high-end chair that costs more than most people's rent. But given the other features of her house (see: hidden room and big clear piano), it's surprising, and a little endearing, to spot something so... average. As Jezebel points out, Williams' chair — dubiously named "Zeanus Pink Ergonomic Gaming Chair for Girl" because it's pink, I guess — is shockingly...

Diablo IV and Overwatch 2 aren’t launching this year

Posted: 04 Feb 2021 02:42 PM PST

Overwatch

Blizzard has two huge sequels in the works, but it looks like neither will launch this year. During its most recent earnings call, Activision Blizzard revealed that it doesn't expect Overwatch 2 or Diablo IV to be part of its 2021 financials, suggesting both will launch in 2022 or later.

Technically, this doesn't represent a delay since neither game had a specific release date in place. Both Overwatch 2 and Diablo IV were first announced at BlizzCon 2019, and the developer has been relatively quiet since then, particularly about the Overwatch sequel.

That said, while the games may be further off than many fans expected, we'll still likely hear more about them soon. Blizzard will kick off a remote version of BlizzCon on February 19th, and...

The latest GameStop stock dip looks like the end of the line

Posted: 04 Feb 2021 02:33 PM PST

When GameStop's stock price fell by over 50 percent on Tuesday, closing at $90, we weren't sure if it was going to pick back up or keep going down. It seems we now have our answer, as GME is down another 41 percent, closing today at just $53.50.

That's less than the stock sold for the week before it took off on a wild rollercoaster ride induced by Reddit retail investors and an unprecedented social media frenzy. So it seems like we're not so much in a dip, but on the long, slow ride back to the beginning.

When I wrote about GameStop's stock dip on Tuesday, the stock was down 81 percent from its peak of $483. Now, it's down 89 percent from that peak. There was always the chance of a rally (and I guess, technically, there still is), but...

Google union files labor board charge against contract company

The Alphabet Workers Union (AWU) has filed an unfair labor charge against Adecco, a subcontracting firm that provides data center services to Google. The union says managers tried to stop Google contractors from discussing pay, which is illegal. Shannon Wait, a union member and contractor, was suspended after posting about working conditions on Facebook. The news was first reported by Bloomberg.

The charge is the first legal action the Alphabet Workers Union has taken to protect employees. Since the union went public in early January, it's called on YouTube to ban Donald Trump and voiced concern with the treatment of AI ethics researcher Margaret Mitchell, but both of these actions took the form of open letters and had no legal force.

Niagara is a minimalist Android launcher I wish I’d had on my bus commute

After a couple years of beta testing, Niagara Launcher is now available for download from the Google Play Store. It's designed to replace the default Android app drawer and home screen grid with a layout that's easier to access with one hand.

You pick your favorite apps to pin on the home screen, and the rest are accessible under an alphabetized list on the right side of the screen in easy striking distance of your thumb. It's quick and very responsive; you can either tap on the part of the alphabet you're aiming for or swipe up and down to scroll your list of apps.

Niagara also allows you to take quick action from the home screen by swiping across any app to bring up a list of options, like setting a new timer in the clock app or...
