Apple says goodbye to iPod nano, shuffle

Published

on

The beloved iPod is close to extinction.  

Today Apple pulled the plug on two more models, the iPod nano and iPod shuffle. Both products are no longer listed on Apple’s website, and are no longer available from Apple’s online Store.

In an email to media, a spokesperson for Apple confirmed this saying, “Today, we are simplifying our iPod lineup with two models of iPod touch now with double the capacity starting at just US$ 199 and we are discontinuing the iPod shuffle and iPod nano.”

The touch is the last remaining iPod standing, but its future looks bleak. In fact, the iPod is no longer listed on the menu bar of Apple’s website alongside the Mac, iPhone, and Apple Watch.

For now, Apple is selling its last remaining iPod, the iPod touch, in 32GB and 128GB capacities. If you’re hoping to snatch the last-generation iPod nano and shuffle, you should still be able to find them at your favorite tech reseller until supplies last.

The iPod nano was first introduced in 2005 (2004 if you count its precursor the iPod mini) and went through seven different iterations and plenty of colors, shapes, and finishes.

The iPod shuffle was also first introduced in 2005, starting off with what looked like an Apple USB drive going through a total of four redesigns.

If you’re getting sentimental over the news, you’re not alone. While millions around the world are adoring Mac users, and millions more completely loyal to the iPhone — the iPod is one of Apple’s most important products of all time, revolutionizing the music industry, and maybe, even responsible for cementing Apple’s place in history.

Logitech introduces a dedicated shortcut for ChatGPT

Compatible with most keyboards and mice

Published

on

Artificial intelligence is already meant to simplify a workflow. However, despite the ease, there are still a few ways to optimize the process. Today, Logitech has launched a new shortcut to launch ChatGPT straight from your mouse or keyboard.

Minus programmable hotkeys or buttons, there are hardly any built-in way to easily access an AI model. For a typical workflow, it still consists of manually opening the model on a separate window and keeping it within cursor’s reach throughout the day.

Logitech is simplifying the process by adding a dedicated shortcut for its devices. With a Logitech keyboard or mouse supported by the Logi Options+ app, users can program a keyboard or mouse button for the new Logi AI Prompt Builder.

Once activated, the AI Prompt Builder automatically accesses easy options for highlighted text. For example, users can easily rephrase or summarize the text. Likewise, they can input their own custom queries. By eliminating a few clicks and some typing throughout the day, the new tool hopes to save you time.

While most Logitech keyboards and mice are compatible with the new tool, it is also more easily accessible with the new Logitech Signature AI Edition Mouse. The new mouse has a dedicated button just for AI prompts. If you’re an AI power user, this one is perfect for you.

G Pro X 60

Logitech has unveiled its newest heavy-duty gaming keyboard: The Logitech G Pro X 60 Lightspeed gaming keyboard. The latest G Pro series addition is engineered in collaboration with top esports athletes, and promises exceptional performance and precision specifically for gaming.

The gaming keyboard is available in White, Black, and Magenta and retails for PhP 10,955. Customers may also choose between two GX Optical Switches configurations: tactile and linear. These upgraded switches boast faster and more precise actuation, as well as increased durability. The G Pro X 60 has a distinct design, with the keys quite elevated from the keyboard base.

As the model name suggests, the new offering is also the first Logitech product to boast of a 60% keyboard form factor. This portable keyboard allows users to have more space for dynamic mouse movements compared to full-sized keyboards.

The innovative Keycontrol feature, meanwhile, lets users assign up to 15 various shortcuts and combinations per key. Gamers will benefit from being able to tailor the keys specifically to their needs by customizing the keyboard keys with commonly used commands and audio and lighting effects.

The gaming keyboard also comes with Lightsync RGB. Users may choose from about 16.8 million colors and customize each key’s individual color. Connectivity-wise, users may use the keyboard via Bluetooth, USB, and 2:1 pairing with a PRO gaming mouse.
