OnePlus turned quite a few heads when it launched the OnePlus 13s, a rebadged version of the OnePlus 13T, outside of its home market. The handset practically reignited excitement in the compact flagship space, offering better value than popular models like the Samsung Galaxy S25, but it remained exclusive to the Indian market. Now, the Indian tipster Yogesh Brar claims that the handset’s successor — the OnePlus 15s — might not make it out of the Chinese market at all. In response to an X user asking whether the OnePlus 15s is canceled, the tipster said there’s a 90% chance…

The most important IT hire for CIOs in 2026 may not be human

The next governance challenge that chief information officers (CIOs) can’t ignore in 2026 is the acceleration of artificial intelligence (AI) agent sprawl. The possibility of the uncontrolled expansion of AI agents across an organization is reminiscent of the shadow IT issues that arose in the 2010s when departments disregarded corporate IT and implemented tools they needed without guidance. The shadow IT phenomenon caused security issues and compliance blind spots.  AI agent sprawl is poised to repeat history, but with even more risk and complexity.

The AI arms race in online reviews: How businesses are battling fake content

What was once a simple signal for trust has become a place where potential customers feel like they have to keep a watchful eye.

Why building a gaming PC in 2026 makes no sense

I’ve spent the better part of a decade preaching the gospel of “build, don’t buy,” but looking at the current state of component pricing, I’m forcing myself to be a realist. When you crunch the numbers on the latest 50-series cards and Ryzen 9000 chips, the math right now overwhelmingly favors the system integrators who locked in bulk pricing months ago.

Introduced with Chromium-based Edge in 2020, Collections allow you to save webpages, images, and notes into grouped cards that sync across devices. You can…
