The 2020 HP EliteDesk 800 G6 is on sale for $319.99 at StackSocial right now . It's a compact business machine, not a modern performance PC, so the hardware is a few generations behind current systems. Still, for a home office, backup system, or simple workstation, it covers the essentials without asking for much money up front. You get a certified refurbished unit with a Grade A+ rating, which means minimal wear and a clean chassis. It also comes with a basic wired keyboard and mouse, as well as a 90-day warranty. That setup makes sense if you need a simple, ready-to-run system without spending much, but it also means you are buying older hardware with a shorter safety net than a new machine. It has a compact form factor that is easy to place on a desk or even mount behind a monitor, and at just over three pounds, it stays out of the way. The core of this ...

Google’s New Gemini App for Mac Comes With Two Key Benefits (and One Drawback)

Image
If you're a frequent Gemini user, and you happen to have a Mac, good news: Google just launched a dedicated Gemini app for macOS. It's a long time coming, seeing as Google's rivals, like OpenAI and Anthropic, have had dedicated Mac apps for ChatGPT and Claude for some time. Gemini's Mac app appears to come with many of the same benefits as other desktop AI apps. For most queries, the experience is about the same as it is on the web app: You ask Gemini a question or make a request, and it responds appropriately. But there are two keys advantages to breaking out of the web app. Summon Gemini with a keyboard shortcut First, Gemini can be called up at any time using a keyboard shortcut. (By default, Option + Space , so rather than pull up the Mac app (or the web app, for that matter) whenever you have a question or a request for Gemini, you can hit the keyboard shortcut for quicker access. This makes using the chatbot more convenient when you're bouncing around task...

OpenAI Just Cut ChatGPT Pro's Price in Half

Image
While ChatGPT may have kicked off the generative AI era we now live in, it is far from alone these days. There is steep competition from multiple companies in this space, including Google, Anthropic, and even Microsoft—which has a huge financial stake in OpenAI. To compete, it seems OpenAI is trying to make its paid subscription plans more attractive to users, as the company just cut the price of ChatGPT Pro in half. ChatGPT Pro now starts at $100 As reported by TechCrunch , OpenAI's new pricing model now offers a Pro plan at $100 per month, down from $200 per month. That now gives users a choice between the following: a free plan, which comes with ads ; a Go plan offering more usage limits for $8 per month (still with ads); a Plus plan with extra models and exclusive features for $20 per month; and, now, the Pro plan, with the most usage limits across all of the company's models and features, for $100 per month. OpenAI doesn't list a $200 plan anymore, but it confirmed t...

10 Hacks Every Apple Maps User Should Know

Image
We may earn a commission from links on this page. Apple Maps may not be everyone's top choice for navigation—even those committed to the Apple ecosystem—but the app has come a long way since it's initial rocky rollout, and has plenty of features that make it worth using. Beyond the basics, you'll also want to consider some of its lesser-known settings to get the most out of Apple Maps on both mobile and desktop. Enable "Visited Places" to save locations (even if you didn't use Maps to get there) "Visited Places" is a new feature with iOS 26 that passively tracks your location and stores places you go—even if you don't use Maps to get there. If you want to keep tabs on your previous pit stops, you can view them later in the "Places" menu (tap Places > Visited Places when you open Maps). The data is stored on your synced devices and is encrypted end to end, so even though your device is technically tracking you, you're the on...
