The latest-gen Biostar Valkyrie offers an updated appearance and BIOS, robust power delivery, Thunderbolt 4, and a lot of connectivity. But it has only one PCIe 5.0-capable M.2 socket, doesn’t come with Wi-Fi, and so far it doesn't seem to be available in the U.S.

This new startup wants to be your AI-powered boxing coach

The connected fitness boom of pandemic-era lockdowns is long behind us (hopefully), but Growl, a new startup, is still looking to bolt a workout to the wall of your home. Think of Tonal, except instead of resistance training, it's a boxing-inspired heavy bag session.

The wall-mounted Growl is, according to the company, powered by AI and Unreal Engine and appears to have overhead projectors, which beam the image of a life-sized coach onto the convex punching surface. 3D motion tracking

Choosing the Right Tool for Multi-Page Designs

Most of my multi-page designs are typically created in Adobe InDesign, but for simpler layouts, I sometimes opt for Illustrator. While InDesign offers more advanced tools for managing text styles, the key advantage lies in its use of Master Pages. However, Illustrator also supports threaded text, allowing you to link text areas and have the content flow from one frame to another, along with several useful options and features. https://webdesignernews.com/choosing-the-right-tool-for-multi-page-de

For news, algorithmic social networks are a failed experiment

In 2016, when Twitter replaced its purely chronological timeline with one that used an algorithm to determine what users saw, I declared it to be a minor whoop at most—a 2.35 on a scale of 1 to 10.

The best VPN service for 2024

As with any overly marketed products, the claims around virtual private networks (VPNs) can be fishy. Phrases like “military-grade encryption” or “total anonymity” aren’t verifiable, and certainly won’t help you decide which services suit your browsing needs best. As more of these companies embrace influencer marketing to sell their products, the obscure lingo has only grown, making it a confusing field to navigate, despite VPNs’ importance for online security.
