 Apple's MacBook Neo has been a huge hit, and it's still in high demand over a month after it launched. The ?MacBook Neo? is just $599, and with PC makers raising prices because of global RAM shortages, the Neo's low price tag and Apple allure are even more appealing.

Perplexity has just released Personal Computer. The software, which is available starting today for Mac, builds on the multi-model orchestration capabilities the company debuted with Perplexity Computer at the end of February. Like Claude Cowork (and, as of today, OpenAI Codex too), it's a suite of computer use agents that can work with your files, apps, connectors and the web to complete complex and "even continuous workflows."
Perplexity suggests a few different use cases for Personal Computer, starting with the obvious. "You can ask Personal Computer to read your to-do list," the company states. "In fact, you can ask it to DO your to-do list." It explains you can open the Notes app on your Mac, ask Personal Computer for help and the system will reason how to best assist you. In the process of tackling that task, it can work across all your files, as well as apps like Apple Messages. When needed, it will also employ multiple agents to complete a request. Like Anthropic did with Claude Cowork, Perplexity says you can also use its software to organize messy folders so files feature sensible names and there's an easy-to-understand structure to everything.

You now have the power to remove short-form videos from your YouTube feed if you don't want to see them. YouTube has rolled out the capability to set your Shorts feed limit to zero minutes, which could help you stop doomscrolling, at least on mobile. The video-sharing platform originally launched a Shorts feed limit back in October last year, but the lowest option you could choose was 15 minutes. Once 15 minutes are up, you'll get a pop-up reminding you to take a break.
Earlier this year, it integrated the feature with parental controls, allowing guardians to set time limits for younger users. YouTube said back then that parents will soon see the option to set the timer to zero. Now, the Shorts timer is live not just for parents, but for all users. We can confirm that we're now seeing the zero minutes option in our (adult) account and were able to activate it for ourselves. When you select it, you may see a notice that says "Scrolling is paused but you may still see individual Shorts." You may also have to refresh your app before short-form videos disappear from your feed.
To be able to block stop Shorts from showing up for you, go to your Setting page in the YouTube app for mobile. Look for "Time management" and scroll down to "Daily limits," where you can find the "Shorts feed limit" section. If you don't want to get rid of Shorts altogether, you can choose from any of the other options, with two hours being the maximum time available.
