If you’re driving in an F1 race and hitting speeds of 220 mph (354 kph), you really don’t want parts of the car falling off as you hurtle along, or, more importantly, to suffer nerve damage because of a problem with your vehicle. But that’s exactly what’s happening with Aston Martin’s car, leaving drivers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll unlikely to finish the first race of the new F1 season in Australia on Sunday. In testing, the car, powered by a Honda engine, has been vibrating so badly that parts of it have been dropping off, with the vibrations reaching…
OpenAI today unveiled GPT-5.4, the latest update to its flagship AI model, bringing improvements in reasoning, coding, and real-world task automation. The model is rolling out across ChatGPT, the API, and developer tools, with new variants aimed at both everyday users and enterprise workloads. One of the biggest changes is the model’s ability to interact with computers more directly. GPT-5.4 can interpret screenshots, operate browsers, and issue keyboard and mouse commands to complete tasks across different apps and services. This makes it capable of carrying out multi-step workflows that previously required human input. This marks a major step forward toward…
For years, WhatsApp has proudly stayed free. But that might soon change, at least for users who want a few extra bells and whistles. According to a recent discovery shared by WhatsApp feature tracker WABetaInfo, the messaging platform is working on a new optional subscription tier that could unlock premium features inside the app. The plan, reportedly called “WhatsApp Plus,” would not replace the free version of the app but instead add a handful of extra tools for paying users. Early details suggest the subscription will focus on customization and chat management rather than core messaging functionality. In other words,…
After taking over as CEO of Xbox following the surprise departures of former heads Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond two weeks ago, new leader Asha Sharma has publicly revealed the codename of the next-generation Xbox. In an X post, Sharma shared she’d met with Team Xbox this morning to discuss Project Helix, the codename for the next-generation Xbox. According to Sharma, Project Helix “will lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games” as part of her promised commitment to “the return of Xbox.” Sharma doesn’t provide any more details other than sharing the Project Helix logo, but confirms she’ll…
This is one of those simple deals that’s hard to argue with. The Roku Streaming Stick HD is down to $15.99 from $29.99. If you’ve got an older TV in a bedroom, kitchen, dorm, or guest room that’s missing apps (or just runs painfully slow), this is the quick fix. You plug it in, connect to Wi-Fi, and you’ve got a modern streaming setup without buying a whole new TV. It’s also a great “keep in a drawer” gadget. If you travel, bounce between rentals, or visit family and end up stuck with a clunky TV interface, a cheap Roku…
Pragmata’s release is right around the corner, which is exciting, partially because it felt like it might never come out. After getting delayed in 2021, it was delayed indefinitely in 2023, its supposed release year. Today’s news revealed its release date has shifted yet again, but perhaps as atonement for the massive delays, this time, the launch has moved in the opposite direction. During today’s Capcom Spotlight Showcase, the developer/publisher announced Pragmata’s release date is shifting from April 24 to a week earlier, on April 17. The news came in a comedic fake-out, with a note mimicking Diana’s infamous drawing announcing…
If you’ve ever looked at 100-inch TVs and immediately closed the tab because the price got silly, this one’s different. The Hisense 100-inch QD7 Series Mini-LED is listed at $1,397.96, and that’s the rare moment where a truly huge screen stops being a fantasy purchase and starts looking like a realistic living-room upgrade.

What you’re getting This is a 100-inch 4K Mini-LED QLED smart TV running Fire TV,…
Finding the right makeup color can be quite confusing when you buy cosmetic products. Many virtual makeup tools overlay effects on a phone screen, which makes experimenting easier but they often look artificial, and it can be overwhelming with hundreds of color choices. The results also appear on a flat screen, which rarely matches how makeup actually looks on real skin under natural light. This is why researchers have developed a system that can project makeup directly onto your face just by describing the look you want. Scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo have created an experimental tech that…
LG has officially revealed pricing and availability for its 2026 OLED TV lineup, including the flagship evo G6 and the more mainstream evo C6 models. And surprisingly, the numbers are far less painful than many expected. Despite bringing updated display technology and improved processing, LG has kept launch prices largely unchanged compared to the 2025 generation. The LG OLED evo C6 starts at $1,399 for the 42-inch model, while the premium LG OLED evo G6 begins at $2,499 for the 55-inch version. That means buyers are essentially getting newer hardware at the same entry price as the previous C5 and…
The company’s cloud division, Amazon Web Services (AWS), has announced Amazon Connect Health, a new set of AI tools designed to help hospitals and clinics handle everyday tasks like appointment scheduling, patient questions, and medical documentation. If that sounds boring, that’s kind of the point. You see, a lot of healthcare today is slowed down by paperwork and administrative work. Doctors and nurses often spend hours filling forms, updating records, and dealing with scheduling logistics. Amazon’s pitch is that AI can take over much of that work, so medical staff can focus more on patients instead. AI that helps with…
