The original Framework Laptop’s sales pitch was that it wanted to bring some of the modularity and repairability of the desktop PC ecosystem to a functional, thin, and light laptop. For nearly half a decade, the company has made good on that promise with multiple motherboard upgrades and other tweaks for the original 13-inch Framework Laptop; with the Framework Laptop 16 and Laptop 12, the company has tried to bring the same ethos to gaming/workstation laptops and budget PCs for students.One of Framework’s announcements this week was for the company’s first desktop PC. Unsurprisingly dubbed the Framework Desktop, it’s aimed…

The iPhone 16e isn’t for me. If you’re an avid tech enthusiast and Apple fan, it’s probably not for you either. It’s for the person holding on to an iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone X, ready to upgrade because their more than seven-year-old smartphone isn’t working too well nowadays. They want a new phone, and it just needs to be an iPhone.A part of my brain won’t stop thinking about whether this nearly once-in-a-decade upgrade for these folks wouldn’t be better served if Apple had included its nice-to-have amenities, like MagSafe or the ultra-wideband chip for improved AirTags tracking. Even…

The current balance in the LOCCS system, according to a record reviewed by WIRED, is over $100 billion—money Congress has approved for HUD projects but which has yet to be drawn down. Much of this money has been earmarked to cover disaster assistance and community development work, a source at the agency says.Normally, those who have access to LOCCS require additional processing and approvals to access the system, and most only have “read” access, department employees say.“Read/write is used for executing contracts and grants on the LOCCS side,” says one person. “It normally has strict banking procedures around doing anything…

Nikon’s Z6 III brings most of the flagship features of Nikon’s far more expensive Z8 and Z9 to the Z6 line. The Z6 III (8/10, WIRED Recommends) features Nikon’s 24-megapixel partially stacked CMOS sensor, very fast and accurate 3D subject-tracking system, and ProRes encoding for video—making it one of the best hybrid, photo/video cameras on the market.The “partially stacked” bit means you get some of the performance benefits of a stacked CMOS sensor, like those found in the Nikon Z8 and Z9, but not the downsides, or at least fewer of the downsides. Stacked sensors, ahem, stack the processing circuits…

In comparison to the cultural domination of “Barbenheimer,” which was followed by a Best Picture win for Oppenheimer, the competition for the top prize at the 2025 Oscars is much more uncertain. Online controversies, lack of strong buzz around any one film, and a growing international voter base all make predicting the Best Picture winner at the 97th Academy Awards exceptionally difficult.Trying to win your office’s Oscar ballot competition or just curious to see everything up for America’s biggest movie award? Lucky for you, many of the films—including Wicked, Anora, and The Brutalist—are available to watch at home. Unfortunately, they…
