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.

Anthropic unveils Claude Duet, its answer to AI agents like Dots

The new agent is built to take some of the busywork off your plate.

The AI race has taken an interesting turn lately, with frontier labs now competing to build agents that can keep working even when you are not actively talking to them. Meta helped push that idea into the spotlight with Muse, OpenAI followed soon after with Dots, and now Anthropic is throwing its hat in the ring with Claude Duet.

Duet is launching as a research preview for Pro and Max subscribers in the US through a waitlist. Anthropic is pitching it mainly at professionals and small-business owners who want help keeping track of work without constantly checking every app themselves.

Google Chrome’s new early warning system could help you spot scam sites

Chrome can now flag websites that look suspicious even when Safe Browsing is not confident enough to call them dangerous.

Anyone who has used Google Chrome has probably seen the red warning screen when they click a suspicious link or try to visit a potentially dangerous website. Google is now beefing up this warning system by adding a new layer that will flag websites that seem fishy, even when Safe Browsing does not have enough confidence to classify them as outright dangerous.

The new Suspicious sites category is being added to Chrome’s Enhanced Protection mode and will sit below the existing Dangerous sites classification. Google says these are pages that show deceptive patterns commonly associated with malicious websites, but where Safe Browsing has a lower-confidence verdict.
