I used my Nikon D610 to take the last photograph of my mom before she died. I’ve documented my children’s lives nearly everyday. The rubber grip is wearing thin in spots.

Android 10’s missing features: All the stuff that never made it into the final update
Android 10’s beta period was a wild ride, with new implementations of gesture navigation and tweaks to notifications happening on a monthly basis.

Lenovo ThinkBook 14s review: The best of ThinkPad, without the ThinkPad
Earlier this year, I reviewed the Lenovo ThinkBook 13s, but that device came alongside a larger one, the 14s. Now that device is in, and it’s a very similar machine.
