The Canon PC170 weighs in at a mere 19 pounds and uses the company’s RAPID Fusing System to provide near instant warm-up times. Users can expect speeds at up to four copies-per-minute with the PC170. It even comes with a 50-sheet stack tray.

Canon boasts that the PC170 is basically maintenance free due to their exclusive Single Cartridge System which contains the drum, development unit and toner.

Other features include an automatic shut-off function which turns the unit off after idling for 5 1/2 minutes, plus the PC170 meets the EPAs Energy Star guidelines.

The Canon PC170 will be available in a few months at an MSRP of $149. Not bad if you ask me.

OpenAI is locking its most advanced AI models offline after a string of security scares

OpenAI’s fake internet is a safety fix and an admission.

Part of me is relieved that an AI lab is hitting the brakes. The other part wishes it hadn’t taken real incidents to get there.

OpenAI said Friday that its most advanced models will now train without live internet access. Instead, they’ll practice on a cached, simulated copy of the web.

Your Windows touchpad is about to make scrolling long pages way less tiring

Three touchpad tricks that make long documents feel a lot shorter.

Today I learned about a touchpad tip that I think every Windows laptop user should know. Microsoft shared it as its Friday Windows tip of the day, and it’s all about scrolling.

If you read long documents, browse webpages, or write code on a Windows laptop, you know the drill. You swipe, lift your fingers, and swipe again until you reach the part you need. Microsoft has three touchpad features that cut down on all that swiping.
