Lenovo says goodbye to bezels with its ThinkVision X24 monitor

By Chris Stobing Published January 2, 2015

Though both Asus and Acer have already released their own monitors which chuck out the chunky black bezel in favor of more screen room, both still sport around half an inch of empty space between the screen and the backdrop of your choosing.

With the Lenovo ThinkVision X24 the split between your content and the rest of the world has been shaved even further, with mere millimeters separating the screen from the stand that keeps it upright.

The X24 will feature a 23.8”, 1080p display, lined back to front with a sleek, chromed out exterior with a pre-coated metal case (PCM) that’s sure to impress from all angles.

Speaking of which, the screen promises a 178° viewing angle thanks to its IPS panel. This will give users the best color representation and readability in all lighting scenarios.

At only 7.8mm thin, you could practically cut an onion with the edge of this monitor, which is only bulked up by the Neo-Blade control panel used to configure your own personal settings out of the box.

The Lenovo ThinkVision X24 will be available starting in May of 2015, for only $249.00 at retail.

Google is making links in AI answers harder to miss, but referral traffic remains a mystery

Google nudges AI answers toward the open web.

Google AI Mode

Google is making links in its AI answers harder to miss. However, will that send more people to the open web? At least the company is trying.

The search giant announced changes to AI Mode, its chatbot-style search tab, and AI Overviews, its AI-generated summaries for search queries. The updates make links more prominent, add image previews, and include an experiment for highlighting official websites.

ChatGPT is coming for your Chrome tabs, and honestly, they need help

ChatGPT can now do your online chores while you pretend to be productive

OpenAI wants to do more than answer questions with ChatGPT. The company is developing a browser that can look at open tabs and help users get things done online. The feature aims to simplify routine browsing, letting ChatGPT cross-reference information between websites, summarize content, and do repetitive tasks without users having to keep switching between tabs.

The update is a sign of a wider change in how people use AI assistants. ChatGPT can do more than tell you how to do something – it can increasingly help you do it. It could save people hours spent researching products, managing information or filling out online forms. But browser access also brings up important questions around privacy and how much control users should give up to an AI.

Meta wants you to run its powerful new AI model on your desktop, but there’s a catch

Muse Spark Open packs 816 billion parameters and a million-token context window, but running it on your desk won't come cheap.

Muse Spark Open feature

Running a top-tier AI model usually means renting expensive cloud servers or paying for yet another subscription. Meta wants to change that. The company has released the weights for Muse Spark Open, which it describes as the most capable open-weight model to come out of the US so far, and you can run it on your desktop.

There’s a catch, though. You’ll need two Mac Studios powered by Apple’s new M5 Ultra chip. Mark Zuckerberg shared the news on X, saying the model “runs great on new Mac Studios thanks to work with” John Ternus and Apple. Ternus seemed just as thrilled, writing, “Amazing to run a model of Muse Spark Open’s caliber and scale this efficiently, right from your desk.”
