Protect your tablet with Logitech’s new Universal Folio case, keyboard

Universal Keyboard Folio for 9-10 inch tablets
If you are a big tablet user, then you know the advantages of a nice case that can double as a keyboard dock. The market is full of options that made for specific tablets, but there are fewer good options that work with any tablet — and so if you buy a case and then switch tablets, you are stuck with a case you do not need.

Logitech recognizes this pain point and has developed a solution. The new Logitech Universal Folio is a case and keyboard dock combination that promises to work perfectly well with any nine- or 10-inch tablet, no matter who makes it.

In terms of its design, the Universal Folio is made to be durable and spill-resistant, to provide a measure of protection during daily use. It is also made to secure any tablet, with a patented four-point grip that locks onto a tablet regardless of design and keeps it in place. An integrated pen hold can make sure your pen, pencil, or stylus remains with you.

The Universal Folio also integrates a keyboard with a generous 2mm of travel and large spacing for comfortable typing. The keyboard incorporates dedicate function and shortcut keys that work with iOS, Android, and Windows tablets, and it is locked into place in what Logitech characterizes as the perfect typing position, even on uneven surfaces.

Logitech designed the Universal Folio to be durable and to meet the company’s exacting engineering standards. It adds a strap that securely closes the case and keeps everything securely in place. Finally, a replaceable coin battery can power the keyboard for up to two years thanks to Logitech’s smart management system. Bluetooth 3.0 provides the connectivity between the tablet and the keyboard.

Logitech is shipping the Universal Folio for $60 and it is also available at retailers like Amazon for immediate shipment. The company provides a one-year limited warranty to keep you protected. If you want to invest in a case that will work with your next tablet as well as the one you’re using today, then the Logitech Universal Folio seems like a flexible option.

Apple’s secret Vision Pro controller suggests it’s finally taking VR gaming seriously

You would think that Apple’s Vision Pro headset would be the perfect platform for virtual reality (VR) gaming. After all, it has a top-notch processor, super-high-resolution displays, and both VR and augmented reality (AR) capabilities. In theory, that should make it a leading device for gamers.

The reality is, unfortunately, very different, with few popular gaming titles making it onto visionOS. And really, Apple’s headset is held back by one key weakness: its lack of proper VR controller support.

Big tech is dominating my digital life — here’s how I fixed it
big tech logos around capitol hill

Big tech companies are so dominant and so far-reaching right now that people could probably live their entire digital lives interacting only with Google, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon products. Things never got quite that bad for me but I did realize recently that I've been relying far too much on Google, plus I’ve been using Safari for years even though I don’t actually like it that much.

So I decided to find some new apps to try out and came across a nice resource full of European, open-source, or non-profit alternatives for a range of different services. It introduced me to quite a few apps that are more than good enough to replace what I was using, and although I’m not hardcore enough to completely kick Google out of my life, I’m pretty happy with the results.
What’s so bad about big tech?

Meta faces lawsuit for training AI with pirated books

In a recent lawsuit, Meta has been accused of using pirated books to train its AI models, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg's approval. As per Ars Technica, the lawsuit filed by authors including Ta-Nehisi Coates and Sarah Silverman in a California federal court, cite internal Meta communications indicating that the company utilized the Library Genesis (LibGen) dataset—a vast online repository known for hosting pirated books—despite internal concerns about the legality of using such material.

The authors argue that Meta's actions infringe upon their copyrights and could undermine the company's position with regulators. They claim that Meta's AI models, including Llama, were trained using their works without permission, potentially harming their livelihoods. Meta has defended its practices by invoking the "fair use" doctrine, asserting that using publicly available materials to train AI tools is legal in certain cases, such as "using text to statistically model language and generate original expression."
