The Movink is the first in a new line of monitor-tablet hybrids designed to be thin and light. And it scores on both counts, weighing in at just 420 grams (.92 pounds) and 4mm thin. Compared to Wacom's One 13 monitor-tablet with the same sized screen, it's less than half the weight. And, perhaps best of all, you can connect it to a PC or mobile device with just a USB-C cable for both data and power.
The anti-glare screen is obviously important to artists. While the resolution isn't amazing at just 1920×1080, the color accuracy is through the roof, boasting 100 percent DCI-P3 color accuracy, 95 percent on Adobe RGB, and Pantone Validation to make sure what you're seeing is what you get on the fin

And if you read through online complaints about cameras that were discovered during Airbnb stays over the years, it's easy to understand why it's been such a controversial issue.

Leading artificial intelligence companies including OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Meta and others have jointly pledged to prevent their AI tools from being used to exploit children and generate child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The initiative was led by child-safety group Thorn and All Tech Is Human, a non-profit focused on responsible tech.
The pledges from AI companies, Thorn said, "set a groundbreaking precedent for the industry and represent a significant leap in efforts to defend children from sexual abuse as a feature with generative AI unfolds." The goal of the initiative is to prevent the creation of sexually explicit material involving children and take it off social media platforms and search engines. More than 104 million files of suspected child sexual abuse material were reported in the US in 2023 alone, Thorn says. In the absence of collective action, generative AI is poised to make this problem worse and overwhelm law enforcement agencies that are already struggling to identify genuine victims.
On Tuesday, Thorn and All Tech Is Human released a new paper titled "Safety by Design for Generative AI: Preventing Child Sexual Abuse" that outlines strategies and lays out recommendations for companies that build AI tools, search engines, social media platforms, hosting companies and developers to take steps to prevent generative AI from being used to harm children.
One of the recommendations, for instance, asks companies to choose data sets used to

In May, Microsoft will host its annual Build conference in Seattle. Microsoft will open that conference with a presentation from chief executive Satya Nadella to "share our AI vision across hardware and software," according to Microsoft. That presentation is expected to introduce the Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 5 for consumers, both featuring Qualcomm's surprisingly powerful Snapdragon X Elite processor, based on the Arm architecture. Microsoft has already launched versions of both devices with Intel processors inside, for businesses.
But it's the "software" version of Microsoft's AI vision that's intriguing. Microsoft's last feature update of Windows 11 may have introduced AI PCs, but Microsoft is moving more aggressively to a future where AI is more tightly integrated into the operating system. Microsoft appears to have a more formal definition of an "AI PC" waiting in the wings, and we know that it includes a
