On June 2nd, Asus will formally announce the ROG Ally X, a semi-sequel to its handheld gaming PC with a way bigger battery. We exclusively revealed the broad strokes last Thursday, but I’ve now touched an early engineering sample, too — and I’m pleased to say it’s far more comfortable to hold.

AI can be a friend or an enemy to nearly half the workforce. Here’s how to make sure it’s the former

Naming a brand can cost more than $50,000. This new AI-powered service will do it for much less

Two branding pros are looking to upend the agency model and take the pain out of the name game.

Mark Liney won’t name the names, but he can’t shake the memory of an unusual brand-naming project that happened at an agency for the company’s biggest client. Writers weren’t included in the budget, so the creative director on the project decided to throw some sheets of paper up on a wall and instructed his team to jot ideas on them on their way to the kitchen or bathroom.

OpenAI’s GPT-4o may be better at making friends than you are
