iOS 19 may bring a feature that makes signing into public Wi-Fi less of a hassle
<p>Apple is reportedly planning to introduce a small but welcome convenience feature with iOS 19: cross-device syncing for Wi-Fi access portals. This is according to the latest <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-05-11/apple-2027-plans-tabletop-robot-20th-anniversary-iphone-ios-19-wi-fi-feature?sref=10lNAhZ9"><em><ins>Power On</ins></em></a><em> </em>newsletter from <em>Bloomberg</em>'s Mark Gurman. The feature would address the annoyance of having to individually fill out pop-up forms to access public Wi-Fi on all your devices, like when you're at a hotel. According to Gurman, "This new feature will let you enter that information on one device and have it synced to your other products."</p> <p>It's one of several upcoming features Apple may show off at its Worldwide Developers Conference, which is set for June 9-13 this year.

Trump has fired the director of the US Copyright Office
<p>As first reported by <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/10/trump-u-s-copyright-official-00340306"><em><ins>Politico</ins></em></a>, the Trump administration has fired the Register of Copyrights and US Copyright Office Director, Shira Perlmutter. The Register of Copyrights works under the Librarian of Congress — a title held most recently by Carla Hayden, who was fired earlier this week for her DEI efforts, as White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/us/politics/hayden-library-of-congress-dei.html"><em><ins>The New York Times</ins></em></a>.

Samsung has begun taking pre-orders for its 500Hz OLED gaming monitor
<p>It won't make you a better gamer, but Samsung's latest gaming monitor entices those hunting for faster refresh rates. The company's newest <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-launches-worlds-first-500hz-oled-gaming-monitor-odyssey-oled-g6">Odyssey OLED G6</a>, which Samsung claims is the world's first OLED gaming monitor with a 500Hz refresh rate, is now available for pre-order in Southeast Asian markets, with a global rollout due to follow later this year. Samsung first announced the display, along with its sibling with 4K resolution called the <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.engadget.com/computing/the-first-27-inch-4k-gaming-oled-monitor-is-here-courtesy-of-samsung-155118244.html"><ins>Odyssey OLED G8</ins></a>, right before CES 2025 in January.</p> <p>The monitor is up for sale in a silver colorway on Samsung Singapore's site for around 1,500 Singapore dollars, or around $1,150. The Odyssey OLED G6 is expected to see its first shipments starting May 18. For certain gamers, a high refresh rate could mean the difference between life and death in competitive first-person shooters like <em>Counter-Strike 2 </em>or<em> Valorant</em>. With most professional gamers using monitors that have a 240Hz refresh rate, Samsung's latest offering has more than double the speed to emphasize more responsive and smoother gameplay. Beyond its groundbreaking refresh rate, the Odyssey OLED G6 has a 2,560 x 1,440 resolution and a response time of 0.03ms for less motion blur and ghosting in fast-paced action games.</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>As with any OLED monitor, burn-in is a serious drawback that leaves a faint impression of a bright image even when the screen is blank. To combat this, Samsung includes its OLED Safeguard+ technology, which uses a cooling system to lower operating temps and a detection system that automatically reduces the brightness of static images like logos and taskbars. Samsung put its Odyssey OLED G6 up for pre-order first in Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia, and will roll it out in phases to other countries.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/samsung-has-begun-taking-pre-orders-for-its-500hz-oled-gaming-monitor-183151123.html?src=rss
