The feature, called First Draft, is rolling out to Instagram's iPhone app and provides a "starting point" that you can build upon with other edits, according to an announcement on Tuesday. An example shared by Instagram shows a user selecting multiple clips for a reel and then tapping the "First Draft" button. From there, Instagram analyzes the clips - each of which is more th

With the new design of Nothing OS 5.0, app icons and widgets can use adaptive color to get color tints pulled from your wallpaper, which update whenever your wallpaper changes.

Apple just dropped a new polishing cloth, and unlike its refreshed Mac Mini models, it comes with a price cut, as spotted earlier by MacRumors. The polishing cloth is still "made with soft, nonabrasive material" but costs $9 instead of $19. It doesn't look like anything else has changed, as the description matches an archived version of Apple's old polishing cloth, which it no longer lists on its website. The polishing cloth is compatible with what looks like the same massive list of Apple produ

GuliKit’s Switch 2 dock is a much smaller alternative to Nintendo’s. Nintendo didn’t design its Switch dock with travel in mind. Genki’s Covert Dock is a much smaller alternative my family has been using to connect our Switch to hotel TVs for years, but I’ve come to realize I much prefer having a stand for the console when using it this way. So when it came time to replace the Genki because Nintendo broke compatibility with the Switch 2, GuliKit’s updated travel dock seemed like a better fit f
