Stacey Rockford is about to move to New York to follow her dreams, potentially leaving her friends and hometown forever. It’s the end of an era, the death of their childhoods, and the ticking clock has serious emotional weight. I love coming-of-age stories, but Mixtape stands out even among my favorites for how well it nails its earnest, whimsical tone, treating life milestones with grave sincerity. Its stellar writing, concise runtime, and inspired use of its licensed soundtrack make it an instant classic and a heartfelt trip down memory lane. Rockford and friends drive down the coastline as Rockford conducts…

The OnePlus 16 is starting to sound like the kind of flagship that doesn’t arrive quietly. A new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station points to a 200MP periscope zoom camera, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chip, and a battery that could reach 9,000mAh. That would be a loud hardware swing in any year. The timing adds pressure, since reports have swirled that OnePlus was winding down operations before merging with Realme under Oppo’s wider umbrella. Nothing is official yet, and OnePlus hasn’t announced the phone or a launch window. The safest read is that the OnePlus 16…

Mortal Kombat 1 won’t be NetherRealm’s last trip into the arena. After the 2023 reboot, Ed Boon said in a Collider interview that the team is “definitely pursuing another Mortal Kombat game,” giving players the clearest sign yet that the series remains active. NetherRealm has confirmed direction while leaving the reveal details blank. It hasn’t shared a title, launch window, platforms, roster details, or story direction. The next Mortal Kombat game is real enough to discuss, but not ready enough to show. What we know now Boon’s update gives fans the answer they’ve been waiting for after Mortal Kombat 1.…

The iPhone 18 Pro’s Dynamic Island is making headlines again, thanks to a fresh set of CAD renders posted by X account @earlyappleleaks. As seen in the image, the pill-shaped cutout at the top of the iPhone’s screen is noticeably smaller than the cutout on the iPhone 17 Pro models.  The caveat here is that the account is relatively new, and, more importantly, it doesn’t have a credible track record (yet). However, what makes the renders worth a discussion is that they corroborate the early rumors about a smaller, much less intrusive Dynamic Island on the iPhone 18 Pro models. …

Anthropic just gave Claude something that sounds like a perfect science fiction plot: the ability to dream. The company has announced three upgrades to Claude Managed Agents: Dreaming, Outcomes, and Multiagent Orchestration.  While I agree that the Dreaming clearly has the most evocative name, it’s also the one with the most practical implications for developers building AI agents that can handle complex, long-running work.  Live from Code with Claude: we’re launching dreaming in Claude Managed Agents as a research preview.Outcomes, multiagent orchestration, and webhooks are now in public beta. pic.twitter.com/p4DFRzFEd8— Claude (@claudeai) May 6, 2026 What is Claude’s Dreaming feature?…

Fainting might seem like a dramatic but harmless event, but the real danger lies in what happens next. A sudden fall can result in fractures, concussions, and other serious injuries. It is especially harmful for elderly people and can cause some serious head trauma and mobility issues. Samsung’s latest research could change that. The company has completed a joint clinical study with Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital in Korea, successfully validating that the Galaxy Watch 6 can predict vasovagal syncope (VVS) before it happens.  In plain English, that means your watch can warn you that you’re about to faint. What is…

Microsoft is finally acknowledging what many Windows 11 users have felt for years, File Explorer can be slow in ways that a faster launch alone won’t fix. The latest explanation from Microsoft points to a broader performance push for Windows 11 File Explorer, including changes aimed at startup behavior, disk activity, visual delays, and app hangs. That matters because the pain shows up in everyday use. Folder navigation, thumbnails, context menus, and small pauses can all make Windows’ file manager feel heavier than it should. Why faster starts still fall short Microsoft’s disputed answer so far has been File Explorer…

For years, OLED display owners have lived with a quiet set of tradeoffs: screens that dim over time, panels that struggle in bright rooms, and laptops that run out of juice faster than expected. LG Display’s latest OLED lineup, unveiled at SID Display Week 2026 in Los Angeles, takes direct aim at all three with a range of new technologies across different product categories. Longer life and less degradation, starting with your car The most significant announcement is LG’s third-generation Tandem OLED, designed initially for automotive applications.

If you save your passwords in Microsoft Edge, here’s something you should know. Every time you open the browser, it decrypts all your saved passwords and loads them into memory in cleartext, where they stay for your entire session. That means your passwords are sitting unprotected in your device’s memory even if you never visit any of the sites they belong to. Security researcher Tom Rønning discovered this behavior and reported it to Microsoft. However, the company responded by saying the behavior is by design. Microsoft Edge loads all your saved passwords into memory in cleartext — even when you’re…
