This is about the THX Onyx DAC-amp, a two-in-one (USB-A and USB-C) connector and fidelity enhancer that provides an astoundingly pure headphone audio session. Talk about simple to use: You simply connect the unit between your smartphone, laptop, or tablet and your headphone; nothing else is needed.

Do it faster is one answer. On Tuesday, Meta Properties, the owner of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, unveiled Data2vec 2.0, a revamp of a neural network introduced earlier this year that behaves as a sort of generalist, performing on tasks that involve text, image, and speech data with the same basic approach to all three. The second time around, Meta’s scientists made the program faster and, in a few cases, more accurate on benchmark tests of machine learning tasks....

I don’t like little red circles on my iPhone and I never leave an unread email in my Hotmail inbox. Lately, though, more and more strange things have been appearing. Junky, phishy, evil-minded emails trying to bait me into submission. This led me to pay extra attention to my junk mail – largely because, ironically, legitimate emails sometimes end up there. But let’s focus on the phishy and the evil-minded that appear in both my junk mail and my inbox....

You work with that person. You really don’t like that person. I suspect in the majority of cases, that person is a man. He knows better. He begins sentences with, “In my view,” or “Historically,” or “The point is…” And when you encounter him in a meeting, you want to tell him to just shut it. But, even if you did, he probably wouldn’t notice. He’s too busy being in love with his own voice, his own supreme confidence, and his own ability to correct you....
