Sony just announced two new BRAVIA televisions, the BRAVIA 9 II and BRAVIA 7 II, and they might usher in a new era of living room TVs.

Valve has officially raised the prices of the Steam Deck OLED in the US and several other global markets, and the increases are substantial. The move makes the company the latest major gaming platform holder to hike hardware pricing amid rising component costs and ongoing global economic pressures.

macOS users already have several clipboard manager options, including Paste and Maccy. Most of them work well, but they are usually built around keyboard shortcuts. That is useful for keyboard-heavy users, but it can feel out of place for users who rely on the trackpad for most of their work. Layr, a new clipboard manager from the developer behind Declutr, takes a different approach. Rather than assigning a keyboard shortcut to open the clipboard history, the app lets users bring up a clipboard overlay with a four-finger tap on the trackpad. What the App Offers Layr shows clipboard history as…
