Apple's latest Mac mini has subtly enhanced its capabilities for multi-monitor setups.

      The boost in refresh rates could be significant for individuals utilizing multiple screens.

      Apple's latest M6 and M5 Pro Mac mini models were released this Tuesday, and while the performance enhancements are making headlines, Apple has also made a quiet but crucial improvement for many users: better display support. If you have a multi-monitor configuration, this update is noteworthy.

      So, how many displays can you connect?

      The number of displays remains the same, allowing up to three external monitors for both models. However, the performance of those displays when used together has improved.

      On the M6 model, you can run two displays at up to 6K at 60Hz or 4K at 165Hz, a nice increase from the M4’s limit of 144Hz. Adding a third display allows for 5K at 60Hz via Thunderbolt or 4K at 60Hz through HDMI.

      The M5 Pro model goes even further. All three displays can now support 6K at 60Hz or 4K at 165Hz, an upgrade from the previous 144Hz limit on the M4 Pro. If you're using just two monitors on the M5 Pro, the second display can now manage 5K at 120Hz or 4K at 200Hz, a significant improvement from the older 6K at 60Hz or 4K at 144Hz restrictions.

      Single-display setups remain unchanged on both models, reaching a maximum of 8K at 60Hz, 5K at 120Hz, or 4K at 240Hz.

      What has changed on the port side?

      Here's an interesting detail. The M5 Pro model can now support all three displays through a single Thunderbolt port, while the M6 model requires two ports to achieve the same. This minimizes cable clutter when setting up a workstation.

      The ports themselves represent different generations. The M6 model retains Thunderbolt 4 and DisplayPort 1.4, while the M5 Pro advances to Thunderbolt 5 and DisplayPort 2.1.

      Pre-orders for both models are currently available, with shipping and in-store availability starting on September 22. If you rely on a multi-monitor setup in your daily tasks, this increase in refresh rate might be enough reason to consider an upgrade.

      LibreOffice 26.8 introduces several useful features without imposing AI on users.

      No chatbots, no cloud synchronization, no subscription fees. Just significant enhancements for essential office tasks.

      While tech giants engage in an unrelenting race to integrate generative AI into every aspect of daily life, the team behind the open-source office suite LibreOffice is taking a different path. The Document Foundation has released LibreOffice 26.8 for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and rather than cluttering toolbars with unnecessary chatbots or sending documents to cloud services, the update concentrates entirely on meaningful, high-impact improvements for essential office tasks.

      AI receptionists present a potentially risky idea after a patient revealed that it failed to comprehend her request.

      Your general practitioner has an AI receptionist, which sincerely hopes you articulate clearly.

      AI receptionists are intended to simplify contacting the doctor. However, an increasing number of patients find this is not the case—especially when machines struggle to interpret their speech, follow instructions, or understand their needs. A recent incident in South Yorkshire highlights this issue. Judith Butterfield, a 71-year-old recovering from a stroke, informed the BBC that the AI receptionist at her GP’s office repeatedly failed to grasp her speech when she attempted to schedule an appointment. Her stroke had left her speech impaired and affected her movement on one side. After numerous unsuccessful attempts, she ultimately registered with a different practice.
