The festive shopping season is in full swing right now with deals and discounts on almost every storefront. And as usual, electronics gadgets are a hot commodity. Phones, hearables, and consoles are usually at the top of many wishlists, but one item, in particular, that I highly recommend is smart glasses. I know. I know. The whole concept of putting on a pair of glasses that try hard to look like Ray-Bans, but still spook anyone nearby with conspicuous cameras, is something that many people are still uneasy with. But Meta isn’t the only label out there — with its…
While it looked like Samsung was ready to release another Galaxy “Edge” variant, recent reports suggest that the company has pulled the plug, again. The Korean publication KED Global reports that Samsung Electronics has scrapped plans for the Galaxy S26 Edge. Instead, the company will now focus on a familiar three-phone lineup for 2026: the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Earlier reports hinted that the company was experimenting with an ultra-thin phone, especially after the Cupertino-based tech giant Apple jumped into the category. However, sources close to the company’s supply chain now cite weak demand projection…
As time goes on, I am comfortable awarding the first season of the Fallout TV show as my favorite video game adaptation. Well, actually, that honor still belongs to the 2021 Josh Ruben horror comedy Werewolves Within, but that movie is more technically based on a video game than it is an adaptation of beloved interactive media.Fallout has the much more difficult challenge of taking a well-known, well-liked, and dense video game universe that has existed since 1997 and condensing it down so anyone can enjoy it. But it also has to serve longtime fans of the franchise. And it also has…
Sony’s long-anticipated WF-1000XM6 truly wireless earbuds have turned up in fresh leaks that give us a clearer picture of what might be coming next from the audio giant. Enthusiasts have been waiting since the WF-1000XM5 debuted over two years ago, and recent sightings across retailer listings and parts catalogs now suggest Sony’s flagship buds are closer to reality than ever. The latest leak comes courtesy of The Walkman Blog, which spotted replacement part listings on Encompass Parts’ website, which include components for the WF-1000XM6 in both black and silver. Although parts listings don’t always match final retail plans, the consistency…
Google’s NotebookLM is experimenting with a feature that could make studying feel a lot more like attending an actual class. A new Lecture mode can turn your uploaded notes, documents, and sources into long, spoken lectures (via Testing Catalog). It lets NotebookLM teach the material out loud instead of just summarizing it on screen. Instead of the shorter Audio Overviews users are already familiar with, this new mode is designed to produce a single, continuous lecture delivered by one AI narrator. BREAKING 🚨: Google might be working on a “Lecture” format for Audio Overviews on NotebookLM. Lectures would have a…
Samsung dropped the S Pen support on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 to make the foldable thinner than its predecessor (which supported the stylus), and it achieved quite a commendable feat no less. The Fold 7 is among the lightest and thinnest foldables available globally. However, it looks like Samsung is bringing back the S Pen on one of its upcoming foldables to compete with Apple’s first book-style foldable, reportedly called the iPhone Fold. According to a post on the Korean blog Naver, Samsung is experimenting with the S Pen on Galaxy Z Fold 8 variants (unreleased). Adding S Pen…
The Ninja CREAMi Scoop & Swirl is basically a countertop dessert lab: ice cream, soft serve, sorbet, gelato-style treats, and mix-ins without a trip to the store. Right now, it’s down to $279.99 from a comp value of $349.99, which makes it a lot more tempting if you have been curious about the CREAMi lineup but could not quite justify the full price. This model is not just a basic churner. With 13 one-touch programs and the “scoop and swirl” setup, it is built for people who want cafe-style textures and layered desserts without fiddling with a bunch of manual…
The latest entry in the Konami horror franchise really snuck up on me, and I don’t mean in a jump scare way. In fact, I wouldn’t describe Silent Hill f as overtly scary as much as I would describe it as thoughtfully horrific. Like its predecessors, Silent Hill f is less about making you run away from something terrifying (which it does do that, too) as much as it is about making you face something scary and stare at it, unblinking, while you consider what you did or didn’t do to make it happen.As the year comes to a close,…
On the road to CES 2026, Samsung has unveiled its latest Odyssey lineup of gaming monitors. While one of the monitors provides glasses-free 3D visuals, another is marketed as the world’s first monitor with a 1,040Hz refresh rate. Dubbed the Odyssey G6 (G60H), the monitor offers over four times the refresh rate of today’s 240Hz panels that esports players swear by. By default, the 27-inch IPS QHD panel offers a 600Hz refresh rate, which is still pretty wild, but in the Dual Mode, the monitor can go all the way up to 1,040Hz (in HD resolution). For those catching up,…
Google is rolling out a much-needed privacy upgrade for cars running Android Automotive: the ability to lock specific apps behind a PIN. Known officially as Sensitive App Protection, this feature finally fixes a major headache for anyone who shares their vehicle with family members, passengers, or valets. Up until now, unlocking your driver profile was an “all-or-nothing” deal – once you opened the screen to let a friend pick a song, they had full access to your messages, search history, and personal data. A More Granular Approach to Privacy in Shared Vehicles While Android Automotive has supported PIN-protected profiles for…
