The bread and butter of Chinese tech company Hisense is TVs, specifically ones that offer tech often reserved for premium models but at a lower price. And with tech expo CES 2026 being the biggest event of the year for new TV announcements, we’re expecting to soon see what the brand has up its sleeves when it begins on January 6. Last year’s CES saw Hisense unveil a gargantuan 116-inch TV, called the TriChroma LED, and while its mini-LED goodness never trickled down to smaller screen sizes that we could buy, we probably haven’t seen the last of its RGB…

American Airlines might be swapping its Wi-Fi provider for something a little more galactic. The airline has confirmed it’s been talking to Amazon Leo (formerly Project Kuiper) about powering its in-flight internet.

Tiiny AI has unveiled what Guinness World Records has verified as the world’s smallest personal AI supercomputer. It is called the Tiiny AI Pocket Lab, and despite being about the size of a power bank, it promises performance levels that normally require very expensive hardware. Other small supercomputers such as NVIDIA’s Project Digits, priced around $3,000, and the DGX Spark, which comes for $4,000, sit at price points that put them out of reach for most everyday users. Tiiny AI argues that today’s real AI bottleneck is not computing power but our reliance on the cloud. GTM director Samar Bhoj…
