Lenovo Yoga AIO 7 gets a rotating screen you can connect to your phone

Lenovo has a new Yoga AIO with a unique 27-inch 4K display with a screen you can rotate to 90 degrees. This all-in-one PC can become a large display for smartphones, as long as they support DLNA, AirPlay, Miracast, or LElink. The Lenovo Yoga AIO 7 has a starting price of $2,599.99.

If you're a creator who does a lot of vertical videos, this form factor might be interesting to you. I would want to watch TikToks on this large screen. The Yoga AIO 7 runs on AMD's Ryzen 6000 processors with optional AMD Radeon RX 6600M graphics. Similar to last year's model, you can plug your laptop into this device via USB-C so you can control both devices with the same peripherals.

Apple, Google, Microsoft and World Wide Web consortium back passwordless sign-in initiative

The three largest computing, mobile, and browser companies are teaming up to back a passwordless sing-in initiative that could remove one of the biggest pain points and security threats today. Weak passwords are responsible for 80% of breaches and hacks, so Apple, Google, Microsoft are leading the charge in a password-free sign-in.

The FIDO alliance will enable users to sign into websites and apps using their smartphones for authentication, removing the need for any password or PIN code. This ostensibly eradicates the need to have multiple complex passwords for varying websites, or the chance that reused passwords leak and allow unauthorized access.

Samsung introduces new dashcam memory card promising non-stop recording of up to 16 years

It's essential for dashcam memory cards to last as long as possible. Samsung believes it has made the longest-lasting card yet. Its new Pro Endurance microSD cards promise up to 16 years of continuous recording for the range-topping 256GB version. This longevity only extends to this variant, but you can still get up to eight years on the 128GB model. (There's also a 32GB one.)

For context, Samsung's older dashcams peaked at five years, still considered better than what was offered in the segment. The norm has been two to four years of non-stop recording. This new Pro Endurance line can read at speeds up to 100MB/s and write at 30MB/s or better, allowing you to capture 1080p or 4K footage. Samsung also claims the cards are resistant to drops, magnets, water, extreme temperatures, and X-rays. The starting price is at US$11 (~CA$14) for that 32GB option and tops out at US$55 (~CA$71) for the 256GB model.

New 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' trailer drops, series to debut on May 27

If you have been waiting for the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series to premiere, you just have a few weeks to wait. In time for Star Wars Day (a.k.a. May the Fourth), Lucasfilm and Disney+ released a new trailer for the series. We get a bit of a conversation between Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) and Owen Lars (Joel Edgerton) about Luke Skywalker's training as a Jedi. We even get a peek at Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen) being put together in this teaser.

This six-part series is set 10 years after Revenge of the Sith, filling in some gaps that the prequels and the original trilogy might have missed. Obi-Wan Kenobi will debut with two episodes on May 27.
