Logitech thinks small with MX Keys Mini wireless keyboard

Logitech has taken its advanced Bluetooth keyboard and made it smaller. Announced today, the Logitech MX Keys Mini and MX Keys Mini for Mac drop the numpad and navigational keys of the full-sized Logitech MX Keys released two years ago in favor of a smaller form factor that still packs some nifty features.
Like the MX Keys, the smaller MX Keys Mini targets creative professionals with the ability to connect to three devices via Bluetooth Low Energy, allowing you to control up to three PCs, tablets, or smartphones without having to switch dongles or pair the keyboard over and over again (who has the time?). Logitech’s compact keyboard is compatible with Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Chrome, Android, and Linux.
Differing from its predecessor, the MX Keys Mini includes an Emoji key for easy access to an Emoji keyboard. There’s also a dedicated key for turning your microphone on or off and a dictation key for talk-to-text.

Retailer reveals Radeon RX 6600 GPU, another card you probably won’t be able to buy

A retail listing has leaked the existence of AMD’s Radeon RX 6600, a midrange GPU that will be a bit slower (but hopefully also a bit cheaper) than the RX 6600 XT. [credit:

People hoping to get their hands on an affordable graphics card may soon have one more new model to try for—a pulled retailer listing spotted by the GPU enthusiast site VideoCardz seems to confirm the existence of an AMD Radeon RX 6600 GPU. The RX 6600 is a midrange GPU that will slot in under the $379 RX 6600XT in AMD’s lineup, and the site claims it will be available on October 13.
By themselves, we don’t put a lot of stock in retailer listings, since they can be speculative placeholders rather than a confirmation that a given product is being launched. But this one came complete with box art and photos of the card, which confirms that it will come with 8GB of GDDR6 memory, and, like the RX 6600 XT, it will be sold primarily as a 1080p card. The GPU is said to include 1,792 of AMD’s Stream Processors, compared to 2,048 on the RX 6600 XT, while retaining the same 128-bit memory interface as the XT.
A single 8-pin power connector, three DisplayPorts, and a single HDMI port are also visible in the photos, and the card’s short length will make it one of the few modern GPUs suitable for small-form-factor PC builds. What the listing doesn’t tell us is what the GPU will cost; the listed price of 589.90 euro works out to about $690 in US dollars, at least twice as high as we think the card’s official price is likely to be.

Apple iPhone 13 Pro Teardown Reveals Internal Tweaks, LPDDR4X Instead Of LPDDR5

Horizon Forbidden West’s Aloy Will Look Realistic AF On PS5, Peach Fuzz And All

It should come as little surprise that the sequel, next year’s Horizon…

20 Horror Podcasts That Will Scare the Bejesus Out of You

When I was a odd little kid, I’d pull up the covers and listen to episodes of creepy old time radio shows before bed. (Listening alone to decades-old radio dramas was a very cool thing for children to do back then; I had tons of friends and was in no way considered a weirdo.) Popular storytelling wisdom is that you…

We’re about to run out of Atlantic hurricane names—again
Enlarge / Major Hurricane Sam is, fortunately, going to avoid landmasses as it churns away. (credit: NOAA)
It has been another record-setting hurricane season in the Atlantic basin, with a total of 19 named storms so far. It has been so busy that, with still more than two months to go until the season’s end, the National Hurricane Season is probably going to run out of names for the second year in a row.
Currently in the Atlantic, Hurricane Sam is rampaging across open waters. Fortunately this major hurricane is unlikely to threaten any landmasses. Behind Sam, it’s possible that Victor and Wanda will form during the next few days. Neither of these storms, either, poses any immediate threat to land.
If they do form, these two storms would exhaust the allotment of “official” names the National Hurricane Season uses for tropical storms and hurricanes. (Because the letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z are not commonly used for names, they don’t appear on the list of Atlantic names). In years past, the Miami-based hurricane center would then start assigning Greek letters for excess named storms.
