Logitech Unveils Mobi Fold: A Foldable Travel Mouse with Touch Panel Controls
Logitech announced the Mobi Fold, a foldable mouse that opens to full-sized functionality and closes like a clamshell for portability, priced at $79.99. The device features a touch panel for scrolling, a 4K DPI optical sensor, a hinge rated for 15 years of use, and a rechargeable battery lasting up to one month per charge. The mouse targets travelers and laptop users seeking a compact alternative to trackpads, though its thin design and unconventional ergonomics may require adjustment.
Logitech has released the Mobi Fold, its first foldable mouse, which combines portability with functional features for mobile users. When unfolded, the 79-gram device provides a full-sized mouse experience with left and right buttons, a multifunction touch panel for scrolling, and a 4K DPI optical sensor. The clamshell hinge, tested to withstand 15 years of daily use, folds to approximately 0.75 inches tall and 2.6×2.5 inches, making it comparable in size to wireless earbud cases. The rechargeable battery offers up to one month of use on a full charge, with a one-minute quick charge providing 22 hours of operation. Available in graphite, off-white, lilac, and sand colors at $79.99, the Mobi Fold includes a silicone skin for grip and drop protection, customizable button functions via Logi Options Plus software, and support for three simultaneous Bluetooth device connections. While reviewers acknowledge it as a competent travel solution superior to trackpads, they note its thin profile and flat design may feel uncomfortable for users accustomed to traditional mouse ergonomics.
What's missing
The sources mention Logitech's claim of an 'on-device AI model' for the fold-to-power-off function but do not provide technical details about this implementation or its necessity compared to simpler mechanical alternatives.

Destiny 2 Ends as Marathon Becomes Bungie and Sony's Last Live-Service Hope
Destiny 2's final content update, Monument of Triumph, drove a spike to 167,867 peak concurrent Steam players on June 9, while Bungie's extraction shooter Marathon continued declining toward all-time lows. The contrast has reignited fan debate over whether Bungie and Sony prematurely abandoned Destiny 2 in favor of Marathon.

Over 400 Arch Linux AUR Packages Compromised in Large-Scale Malware Campaign
Attackers hijacked more than 400 packages in the Arch Linux User Repository (AUR) by adopting abandoned projects and rewriting their build scripts to install credential-stealing malware. The campaign, tracked by Sonatype as 'Atomic Arch,' deployed a Rust-based infostealer capable of harvesting browser sessions, SSH keys, developer tokens, and cloud credentials, with an optional eBPF rootkit to conceal itself when run with root privileges. Arch Linux maintainers are actively removing malicious commits and banning affected accounts, but users who built any AUR package on or after June 11 are advised to treat their systems as potentially compromised and rotate all sensitive credentials.
