I will be blunt here. I hate YouTube Shorts. Not only is it a time sink, but it’s also a brainrot time sink that makes you feel bad afterwards. Thankfully, with a new update that YouTube is rolling out now, you can finally nuke this from your feed.  The feature builds on a Shorts timer YouTube first announced back in October, which let users set a daily scrolling limit anywhere between 15 minutes and two hours. Once you hit your limit, YouTube would prompt you to stop.  You can now set your Shorts timer to zero minutes, which effectively wipes…

More than 100 Chrome extensions have been tied to a sprawling campaign that harvested identity data, opened backdoor-style browser behavior, and in one case pulled live Telegram Web session data. Researchers linked 108 add-ons to the same control network, with about 20,000 installs logged across the Chrome Web Store when the findings were published. What makes this one hit harder is the range. The extensions showed up as Telegram tools, slot and Keno games, translation utilities, YouTube and TikTok helpers, and basic page tools, which helped the operation blend into the kind of stuff people install without much thought. See…

Nissan has officially taken the wraps off the next Juke, and it looks like the company is embracing some quirkiness for its design. In official material published by Nissan, the all-new third-generation Juke has been revealed as a fully electric compact crossover for Europe. Nissan says this is the first-ever 100% electric Juke, that it will be built on the CMF-EV platform, and that production will take place at the company’s Sunderland plant in the UK. The launch is planned for 2027, making this one of the more important pieces of Nissan’s European EV push. Why this Nissan EV caught…

Nvidia rumors are once again pointing to a strange new memory strategy for a refreshed GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, and this one sounds equal parts clever and awkward. According to Wccftech, citing a post from the Chinese Board Channels forums, Nvidia is reportedly preparing a new GeForce RTX 5060 Ti variant with 9GB of GDDR7 memory instead of the current 8GB baseline. The same report says the standard RTX 5060 could get a similar 9GB version as well. How Nvidia is doing something weird with the RTX 5060 Ti The heart of the rumor is Nvidia’s supposed shift to 3GB…

Sony fans hoping for a cheaper way into the next console generation may need to lower their expectations. The latest PlayStation 6 talk points away from a true PS6 Lite, even as fresh speculation keeps circling around a more affordable entry point for Sony’s next hardware lineup. The problem isn’t just cost. The hardware now being discussed for a handheld setup doesn’t sound like a natural fit for a living room console that has to look good on a 4K TV. A chip designed around lower power and a smaller screen creates a very different target from the one most…

Honor is gearing up to launch the Honor 600 series next week, and while the hardware specs look promising, the software may be the real star of the show. Building on the foundation laid by the Honor 400 series, on which users generated over 13.4 million seconds of AI video, Honor is set to debut an upgraded version of its AI Image to Video feature with the upcoming devices. On-device AI for better privacy and speed Honor’s Image to Video 2.0 uses a unified multi-modal video generation model that will run entirely on the device. Unlike cloud-based tools that can…

Nothing launched a genuinely useful app called Warp earlier today, with a simple idea: allowing Android users to share files, links, and copied texts directly to their Mac, Windows, or Linux machines without including any cables or convoluted workarounds.  Nothing announced the app for Chrome and Edge (Chromium-based web browsers) and Android smartphones, floating it on both the Chrome Web Store and the Google Play Store (via 9To5Google). However, a few hours later, the app is nowhere to be found, with the official listings returning errors.  So, how did Warp actually work? Nothing’s Warp app used Google Drive as a…

Subtlety is overrated, and MSI just proved that. The Taiwanese laptop maker has rolled out a sweeping refresh, unveiling more than a dozen new gaming laptops spread across its Cyborg, Crosshair, Raider, Stealth, and Titan lineups.  The models cover 15-inch, 16-inch, and 18-inch form factors, ensuring there’s something for every gamer or professional user, making it hard for buyers to run out of excuses for not upgrading this year.  So, what’s actually new inside these machines? It is Intel’s newly announced Arrow Lake-HX Plus chips, specifically the Core Ultra 9 290HZ Plus, that acts as a catalyst for MSI’s new…

Google made an unexpected cameo on Macs with the launch of a native Gemini app. What’s even more interesting (and a bit funny) is that the app arrived at Apple’s long-promised Siri upgrade (and a rumored standalone app for the voice assistant).  The free app is available on macOS 15 and above. Though the app isn’t available on the App Store (yet), you can download it from Google’s official landing page. What can the Gemini Mac app actually do? Quite a bit, actually. Once you install the app, you can summon Gemini by pressing Option + Space keys. Doesn’t matter…

The LCD era on Apple’s iPad Air may finally be over next year. According to a new report by the South Korean outlet ET News, Apple is gearing up to give the iPad Air the most-awaited upgrade: an OLED display. Per the publication, Samsung Display is preparing to manufacture OLED panels for the next-generation iPad Air. Mass production is expected to begin around the end of this year or the beginning of next year (in January 2027).  Why is this a big deal? If everything goes well, Apple may release the updated iPad Air in the first half of 2027,…
