Dell's new stylus comes with built-in Tile finding tech

Source: Dell

Dell unveiled a new stylus a few days ago with a handy trick. The Premier Rechargeable Active Pen comes with Tile's finding technology. So, if you misplace it, you can use Tile's app to make the stylus buzz and flash its LED lights to find where it is nearby. And if it's farther than your immediate vicinity, you can see its last known location and use Tile's network to track it down.

The stylus has three shortcut buttons and 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity. It comes with up to a 40-day runtime on a single charge and can be recharged to 80 percent via USB-C in around 20 minutes. Dell doesn't mention wireless charging for this stylus, but you can magnetically attach it to compatible Dell 2-in-1 laptops. The Premier Rechargeable Active Pen retails for US$110 (around CA$138 converted).

Twitter tests option to let two accounts co-author tweets

Twitter has confirmed it's trying a new feature to let two accounts co-author one tweet. App researcher Alessandro Paluzzi has posted evidence of this feature since at least December. But recent development shows an official-looking dialogue box from Twitter about how the feature works. The concept is similar to what Instagram launched last year. Attaching two users two a tweet can be helpful for things like brand partnerships, influencer campaigns, or just sharing credit for a funny post.

Based on the leaked screenshots, you'll only be able to invite public accounts that follow you to co-author a tweet. These users will need to accept your invitation. And when published, Twitter will share the tweet with followers of both accounts. Both of your avatars will be displayed at the top of the post. As The Verge pointed out, there are hopefully safeguards to prevent being hit by requests to co-author spam tweets.

Apple TV+ to debut dinosaur docu 'Prehistoric Planet' on May 23

If you wanted to watch another documentary narrated by Sir David Attenborough, Apple TV+ has something for you. What's even better is it's going to be about dinosaurs. Prehistoric Planet is debuting on the service on May 23. The show's premise involves telling the story of some dinosaurs that roamed the Earth over 66 million years ago during the Cretaceous period. And it will include the latest findings from paleontologists.

The five-part documentary will also feature music from Hans Zimmer and visual work by MPC. The VFX unit helped Disney create the live-action adaptation of The Jungle Book and The Lion King. All five episodes of Prehistoric Earth will premiere the week of May 23, with one episode dropping each day.
