Logitech MK710 Keyboard Boasts Three-Year Battery Life

By Dena Cassella Published February 10, 2010

Logitech’s new wireless desktop MK710 mouse-and-keyboard combo has some drool-worthy features—but we’re going to have to say the best part about the MK710 is its three-year battery life. You heard us: This keyboard combo sports a three-year long battery life, supported by Logitech’s 2.4 GHz wireless technology. The company says the MK710 conserves power and reserves battery life when not in use, prolonging the actual life to about three-years. The MK710 also features “incurve keys” that fit your fingertips, a sculpted mouse with zippy scrolling, and easy to reach customizable buttons.

“No one thinks about changing batteries until they have to, but when that time comes, it can stop you in your tracks,” said Rory Dooley, Logitech’s senior vice president and general manager of the Control Devices business unit. “With its industry-first three-year battery life for a combo, you might just forget the Logitech Wireless Desktop MK710 uses batteries at all.”

Moonshot tells Kimi AI to code away, but leave the hacking alone

Moonshot is clipping Kimi AI’s hacking wings before letting it loose

Moonshot AI

Chinese AI startup Moonshot AI is deliberately limiting the hacking capabilities of its latest artificial intelligence model, highlighting a growing dilemma for the industry: how do companies make AI more powerful without making cyberattacks easier to carry out?

The company introduced Kimi K3.1 Pro on October 24, describing it as a highly capable, open-weight model with around 3 trillion parameters. Unlike conventional AI services that operate entirely through a provider's servers, open-weight models allow developers to download the underlying model files, run them on their own systems, and modify how they work.

Google changes its Workspace privacy promise on ads, and opting out limits Personal Intelligence

Smarter AI answers, with a side order of ads.

AI mode in Google Search

There’s no such thing as a free recommendation. Google’s latest policy tweak is a clear reminder. Google has long promised that your Gmail, Drive, and Google Photos content never helps it personalize ads.

However, since October 16, 2026, its privacy policy adds a catch. The promise lapses if you let other ad-showing Google services use that content. That means using Personal Intelligence, an opt-in tool that lets Google’s AI search read your connected apps, does exactly that (via Google).

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.
