Throughout the years, Apple has built its exclusive ecosystem: an enclosed world fueled only by its own products. From chargers to dongles, the iPhone maker has constantly urged users to buy only official Apple accessories. Naturally, the strategy enriches the Apple’s ecosystem, pumping up the company’s profit numbers.

However, when a piece falls, replacing components can get tedious. For example, Apple’s previous battery replacement program has caused their downfall last year. Now, another faulty piece is causing some trouble for the company.

Today, Apple has issued a voluntary global recall for its older three-pronged adapters. Recently, the affected adapter broke down in six incidents across the world. Further, the damage has created an electrical shock risk for concerned users.

Thankfully, Apple isn’t taking any chances. The company is offering free replacements for the affected units. According to Apple, the company shipped the faulty adapter between 2003 and 2010 for both Mac and iOS devices. The adapter was intended primarily for the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Further, the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit came with the adapter in question.

The adapter’s hardware is completely white. In comparison, the fixed replacement mixes gray and white components.

Users can exchange their adapters through authorized Apple service providers, including official retail stores and Apple support. More information can be found here.

Logitech introduces a dedicated shortcut for ChatGPT

Compatible with most keyboards and mice

Artificial intelligence is already meant to simplify a workflow. However, despite the ease, there are still a few ways to optimize the process. Today, Logitech has launched a new shortcut to launch ChatGPT straight from your mouse or keyboard.

Minus programmable hotkeys or buttons, there are hardly any built-in way to easily access an AI model. For a typical workflow, it still consists of manually opening the model on a separate window and keeping it within cursor’s reach throughout the day.

Logitech is simplifying the process by adding a dedicated shortcut for its devices. With a Logitech keyboard or mouse supported by the Logi Options+ app, users can program a keyboard or mouse button for the new Logi AI Prompt Builder.

Once activated, the AI Prompt Builder automatically accesses easy options for highlighted text. For example, users can easily rephrase or summarize the text. Likewise, they can input their own custom queries. By eliminating a few clicks and some typing throughout the day, the new tool hopes to save you time.

While most Logitech keyboards and mice are compatible with the new tool, it is also more easily accessible with the new Logitech Signature AI Edition Mouse. The new mouse has a dedicated button just for AI prompts. If you’re an AI power user, this one is perfect for you.

Logitech has unveiled its newest heavy-duty gaming keyboard: The Logitech G Pro X 60 Lightspeed gaming keyboard. The latest G Pro series addition is engineered in collaboration with top esports athletes, and promises exceptional performance and precision specifically for gaming.

The gaming keyboard is available in White, Black, and Magenta and retails for PhP 10,955. Customers may also choose between two GX Optical Switches configurations: tactile and linear. These upgraded switches boast faster and more precise actuation, as well as increased durability. The G Pro X 60 has a distinct design, with the keys quite elevated from the keyboard base.

As the model name suggests, the new offering is also the first Logitech product to boast of a 60% keyboard form factor. This portable keyboard allows users to have more space for dynamic mouse movements compared to full-sized keyboards.

The innovative Keycontrol feature, meanwhile, lets users assign up to 15 various shortcuts and combinations per key. Gamers will benefit from being able to tailor the keys specifically to their needs by customizing the keyboard keys with commonly used commands and audio and lighting effects.

The gaming keyboard also comes with Lightsync RGB. Users may choose from about 16.8 million colors and customize each key’s individual color. Connectivity-wise, users may use the keyboard via Bluetooth, USB, and 2:1 pairing with a PRO gaming mouse.
