Gigabyte says your handheld gaming PC won’t ship without a real twist

Gigabyte is weighing a handheld gaming PC, but it isn’t rushing to join the pile. Speaking with PCWorld at CES 2026, CEO Eddie Lin said it’s still exploring the idea and won’t release a device that feels like a rehash. Lin framed the decision as a differentiation problem, not an engineering problem. The parts and the playbook already exist, so the real test is whether Gigabyte can add a feature that changes the day-to-day experience in a way you’ll notice. For now, there’s no timeline, no price target, and no word on which regions would get it first. That makes…

This Pixel patent could make your phone repairs easier

Google is exploring a foldable phone battery that isn’t glued in place. A leaked Pixel patent reported by Hypertxt describes a removable battery assembly built to stay electrically stable as a device bends, folds, and flexes, while avoiding the usual adhesive approach. That matters because battery swaps are one of the most common repairs, and they’re often the messiest. When a battery is bonded down, getting it out can mean heat, solvents, and a lot of careful prying. Google’s filing frames the goal as a battery that’s easier to service without turning the job into a risk. This is still…

Gemini powering the iPhone’s AI is great, but I want Apple to fix Shortcuts first

Apple has set the tech industry on a non-stop chatter mode with its hot Google deal. After missing out on the early AI hype, and stopgap coupling with ChatGPT, Apple is finally putting Gemini (a customized version without any branding) in the driver’s seat. The idea is to fix Siri, Apple Intelligence, and the whole Foundation Models package.  So, what does that mean for you? For starters, Siri will be as chatty and smart as ChatGPT or Gemini. It will no longer run into situations where it asks to offload your queries to ChatGPT. And hopefully, it will finally gain…

We have all been there. You are sitting around with friends, maybe after a couple of drinks, and someone says, “You know what would make a great app?” You get excited, you brainstorm features, you maybe even check if the domain name is taken. And then? Nothing happens. The dream dies right there because, well, nobody at the table actually knows how to code. Learning Swift or hiring a developer is expensive and hard, so the idea just gathers dust. Replit is basically trying to kill that excuse forever They just dropped a new tool called “Mobile Apps on Replit,”…

How about a humanoid robot as your running partner?

A new video released by California-based tech firm Figure AI shows its humanoid robot out for a run with workers from the firm. The robot’s running style looks steady and natural as it jogs along with three guys (or four if you count the person recording it). It even raises the idea of one day using the robot as a personal trainer. Imagine, for running, it could set the proper pace as you prep for your first marathon. And think how cool it would look to run around the park with one of these by your side. Admittedly, running with…

Your teen’s YouTube Shorts scrolling can now have a hard cap

YouTube just added a new parental control that lets you put a hard limit on how long a supervised teen account can scroll Shorts. If you’re trying to rein in swipe fatigue without banning the app, this is a direct YouTube Shorts time limit for teens, built around the feed itself. The timer is available now, and YouTube says it’s also working on a setting that lets you set the Shorts feed limit to zero. That’s the closest thing to a Shorts off switch for times when you want YouTube for homework videos or subscriptions, not endless scrolling. Some important…
