Lenovo's 10th-generation Legion 9i has a novel wrinkle that complements its powerhouse specs. The 18-inch gaming laptop can be fitted with a 2D / 3D screen that switches between standard (flat) graphics and glasses-free 3D. It's available first in China and will come to the US "sometime this fall.” To be fair to Lenovo, that vague-ass window is about as much clarity as an overseas company could realistically offer in this tariff-infused climate.

Scam calls are turning the world on its head.

Robocalls and phone scams have long been a frustrating—and often dangerous—problem for consumers. Now, artificial intelligence is elevating the threat, making scams more deceptive, efficient, and harder to detect.

Over five years ago, I transitioned from architecture to UX design. At the time, the internet was full of think pieces drawing parallels between the two disciplines: how both are about designing systems for people, how architects shape physical spaces while UX designers shape digital ones. I agreed with all of it — and I still do. The conversation largely focused on what UX can borrow from architecture: structure, planning, conceptual thinking. https://webdesignernews.com/designing-for-people-wh
WCAG is evolving. Since 1999, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines have defined accessibility in binary terms: either a success criterion is met or not. But real user experience is rarely that simple. WCAG 3.0 rethinks the model — prioritizing usability over compliance and shifting the focus toward the quality of access rather than the mere presence of features. Could this be the start of a new era in accessibility? https://webdesignernews.com/wcag-3-0s-proposed-scoring-model-a-shift-in-acce

I just wanted to hear peoples experiences with AI IDEs.
For context, I'm a heavy user of Gemini / ChatGPT for coding and Copilot. But I haven't used Cursor / Windsurf / etc..
Copy pasting into chat apps is a first world problem: it will do the work for you, but you have to give it all the context in the prompt, which for a larger project, gets tedious.
The issue with Copilot is that it's not as smart as the "thinking" chat apps.
