The Mobi Fold feels like a full-sized mouse when opened and includes a touch panel for scrolling. Logitech finally announced its new ultraportable travel mouse following leaked marketing images that spoiled the surprise last month . As the name implies, the Mobi Fold is a compact mouse that can fold in half using a hinge that can pivot about 130 degrees. At $79.99 in graphite, off-white, lilac, and sand color options, the Mobi Fold isn’t Logitech’s lightest or cheapest mouse, but it’s definitely one of its smallest and a well-featured alternative to your laptop’s trackpad if you can get used to some unconventional ergonomics. The arch-shaped Mobi Fold looks similar to other folding devices, like the Surface Arc mouse . But while Microsoft’s design folds flat, making it thinner and easier to slip into a pocket or bag, the Mobi Fold is more like a clamshell cellphone. And even though it doesn’t snap shut with a satisfying clunk, it feels durable. Logitech says the hinge was “tested to withstand 15 years of daily use.” That hinge, along with more than half the mouse, is wrapped in a silicone skin that improves grip while semi-protecting it from drops. Where it covers the hinge you’ll find a pleated design that expands and stretches when the mouse is folded in half, so there’s no risk of pinching. At 79 grams the Mobi Fold is a few grams heavier than Logitech’s Pebble Mouse 2 and the bare-bones M196 that I’ve been recently traveling with. When folded, the mouse is a little over three-quarters of an inch tall and about 2.6×2.5 inches in size, making it feel seriously compact. It reminds me of some wireless earbud cases, but a bit thinner. Logitech claims the Mobi Fold’s rechargeable battery will power the mouse for up to one month on a full charge, while a 1-minute quick charge will keep it going for up to 22 hours. It’s getting a global release. which means we can probably thank recent EU regulations for a removable cover on the underside allowing that rechargeable batt...

Football and sleep deprivation walk hand-in-hand in Australia. We’ve tried every approach viewers in the UK and Europe are now contemplating for this year’s tournament Two years ago, as I was preparing for the birth of my firstchild, a friend offered me some sage advice. There were many sleepless nights ahead. That was a certainty. But there was a silver lining: European football. I’ve been a football fan for as long as I can remember. But never in my life have I gorged so much. I managed every minute of Liverpool’s title-winning Premier League campaign. That was just for starters. Continue reading...
The net zero economy is booming, so claims that prosperity depends on oil and gas are bunkum – unless you’re a Reform backer with fossil fuel interests, of course Really?

The net zero economy is booming, so claims that prosperity depends on oil and gas are bunkum – unless you’re a Reform backer with fossil fuel interests, of course Really? You want to destroy a million jobs? Vote Reform UK for mass unemployment: is that your pitch? Hammer these questions home whenever you meet a supporter of the party. Or, for that matter, a Conservative, as their party now takes an almost identical line. The figures are stark . They were compiled not by Just Stop Oil or the Green party, but by that bastion of conservatism, the Confederation of British Industry. They show that the net zero economy now directly employs more than 300,000 full-time workers, while supporting the jobs of 1.1 million. The net zero sector is worth £100bn to the UK already, and is likely to grow by hundreds of billions more. The rest of the green economy directly employs a further 600,000. Continue reading...

The musician first visited Aldeburgh as a teenage fanboy. Now, he is at the centre of this year’s festival as its featured artist – and he’s opening with his favourite opera Ryan Wigglesworth cuts a confident figure striding through the Royal Academy of Music in London. He’s been a professor here since 2019 – juggling his duties with his role as chief conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, guest conducting internationally, regular recitals as a pianist, and a busy schedule as a composer. Oh, and he’s also the father of three “boisterous” young children, whose sleepless antics have left him bleary and clutching his coffee this morning. He sits at the head of the long table in the Academy’s oak-panelled boardroom, looking perfectly at home. Was he inevitably going to end up here? Continue reading...

The world’s physical oil markets are confounding concerns about the growing supply shortfall that’s being caused by the Iran war. Physical crude grades ripped to record premiums soon after the war began before fizzling out as refineries recalibrated their buying in response to the ensuing disruption. While traders cautioned as recently as a month ago that the downturn might prove short-lived, there have been few signs of a resurgence since. Instead, oil from Kazakhstan was offered for sale last week at the deepest discounts in four years — without finding buyers. Likewise, premiums for one of Angola’s flagship grades collapsed, and the North Sea benchmark Dated Brent has slumped from its post-conflict peak. Even crude from the United Arab Emirates was last sold to Asia at a discount to the regional Dubai benchmark, a far cry from tens-of-dollars premiums seen early in the war. Despite the restrictions at Hormuz and the supply hole it’s created, a bigger rally has been averted by booming US exports, governments tapping emergency reserves, and China demonstrating a surprising ability to dial back imports. One of the key things holding back physical prices is a reluctance among buyers to secure barrels too far in the future in case flows through Hormuz rebound, according to Energy Aspects. “If flows through the Strait pick up everyone will run harder but right now there’s too much uncertainty,” said Kit Haines, head of oil at the consultant. “Nobody wants to chase prices higher and be left holding an August cargo that they paid a lot of money for.” Read More: Why Oil’s Not at $200 After the Biggest Supply Shock in History Dated Brent , the North Sea benchmark that’s used to price more than two-thirds of the world’s crude, hit a record above $140 a barrel in April. It fell to near $98 on Monday. Dubai has also fallen from a high of over $160 a barrel to about $94. Spreads between monthly futures contracts — used as a gauge for market tightness — remain at elevated level...
