Google has already confirmed its next Made by Google event for August 12 to unveil the Pixel 11 series smartphones. While it wasn’t confirmed whether the brand planned to launch a new generation of wearables this year, a new price leak from Dealabs suggests that the Pixel Watch 5 will also break cover at the event, and it might come with a price hike, just like the Pixel smartphones. According to Dealabs, Google is keeping the same basic Pixel Watch 5 lineup as last year. The watch is expected to come in 41mm and 45mm sizes, with both Bluetooth and…

Adult creators routinely battle scammers and pirates stealing their pictures, videos, and sometimes even identities. Now, that exhausting cleanup job is producing an unexpected side effect that involves cleaning up government websites. Scammers have been compromising trusted .gov and .edu domains and stuffing them with pages advertising supposedly leaked OnlyFans content. This has even lead to hacked government and university websites are disappearing from Google Search. The pages frequently contain no stolen material at all. Instead, they use popular creators’ names to lure people toward dating scams or other kinds of suspicious advertisement and malicious downloads. Scammers are borrowing the…
Putting a camera inside a pair of headphones is quickly becoming less of a novelty and more of an actual product category. Razer showed off Project Motoko at CES 2026, VibeLens launched its MusicCam on Kickstarter last year, and even Apple is reportedly exploring camera-equipped AirPods. Rollme just threw its hat in the ring too, and its AirCam might be the most wallet-friendly option yet. What does the AirCam actually offer? For $79.99, you get an open-ear bone conduction headset with an 8 MP camera (Rollme hasn’t named the exact sensor), Wi-Fi 6, and onboard AI. The camera shoots 1080p…
Security cameras are built to look for faces. New research suggests they may soon have another target, the small habits buried in the way someone walks. A paper published in the International Journal of Reasoning-based Intelligent Systems describes SKDMap-Net as a gait recognition system designed to identify people from walking video, even when the camera doesn’t get a clean look at their face. Instead of relying on a close-up scan, it studies how a body moves from frame to frame. That’s useful and uncomfortable in equal measure. If someone is far away, turned sideways, or partly hidden, their walk may…
A 3D printer that can make a structure in about 20 seconds sounds like a lab claim wearing a cape. The clever bit is real. The catch arrives before anyone starts dreaming about instant replacement parts. University of Utah researchers have demonstrated a holographic 3D printing technique that hardens tiny structures in one exposure instead of building them layer by layer. That one-shot approach could avoid the weak, leaky seams that stacked printing can leave behind. For now, though, this is a tool for microstructures, not a shortcut to printing whatever object pops into your head. How one shot replaces…
After well over a dozen mainline entries, Black Flag remains one of the most fondly remembered in the long canon of Assassin’s Creed entries. It’s little surprise that Ubisoft chose this installment for a robust reenvisioning. While not a fundamental remake of the original 2013 game, Resynced is also far more than the standard remaster some might expect, as it features expansive gameplay and narrative additions and tweaks, along with a complete visual overhaul. The result is an impressive and sizeable game that maintains both the charm and some of the rough edges that defined the original. After 13 years,…
When you think of a gaming PC, you likely picture a massive tower cabinet with tons of RGB. But ASUS is bringing high-end power, without taking up your entire desk space. The new ROG GR70 is a gaming mini PC that squeezed some seriously capable AMD and Nvidia components into a chassis that occupies less than three liters. The ROG GR70 was originally announced a couple of months ago and later appeared at CES 2026. It is finally available to purchase in the US. It joins the recently unveiled ROG NUC 16 that packs the top-end Intel processor, and its…
OpenAI is ready to expand access to its latest GPT-5.6 model family. In a recent post on X, the company confirmed that GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna will become publicly available on Thursday, July 9. If you’ve been itching to try the new models since the limited preview began in late June, you won’t have to wait much longer. Why the rollout took longer than expected The announcement marks the end of an unusually restricted rollout. When OpenAI introduced the GPT-5.6 family on June 26, access was limited to about 20 trusted partners after the US government requested time to…
