A new wearable device that looks like a simple beanie could soon change how people interact with computers. Developed by Silicon Valley startup Sabi, the prototype uses brain-computer interface (BCI) technology to convert a user’s internal speech into text, effectively allowing them to “type” using their thoughts. According to a report by WIRED, the device is designed to be one of the least intrusive brain-tech wearables yet, avoiding the bulky, futuristic look of many experimental headsets. Instead, it blends into everyday clothing, making it more practical for daily use. A Wearable That Listens To Your Thoughts The beanie works using…

A new study led by researchers at the University of Bristol has found that people trying to resist food cravings may be using social media content featuring indulgent meals as a substitute for actually eating them. The findings challenge the long-held assumption that exposure to tempting food imagery leads to overeating. The research, conducted in collaboration with the University at Buffalo School of Management, explored how visual engagement with food content influences eating behaviour. Across three experiments involving 840 participants aged between 19 and 77, researchers combined online surveys with a controlled laboratory study to examine how people respond to…

If you’ve ever bought a Steam game only to see it go on sale days later, you know the pain. Valve may finally have a fix in the works. According to NotebookCheck, data spotted in Steam’s backend code suggests a built-in 30-day price history feature is coming to the platform. However, there’s no official word from Valve or a release timeline. How will Steam’s price history feature work? The price history feature would show you whether a game’s current price is the lowest it has been in the past 30 days. It would also flag when a game is on…

Microsoft is planning a two-stage rollout of new Surface Laptop and Surface Pro models.  While the Intel-powered variants could launch this spring, the Snapdragon X2 models could arrive in summer, reportedly due to supply chain constraints (via Windows Central).  What’s actually changing for Surface buyers? The upgrades include display improvements, with Microsoft going with OLED panels for the Surface Laptop for the first time (though limited to higher-end configurations), along with a higher-resolution screen rumored for some models.   Along with the Intel and Qualcomm chipsets, the notebooks could come with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage for their base…

AI-generated car damage is turning into a real insurance fraud issue, with Admiral linking a sharp rise in cases during 2025 to manipulated images and fabricated supporting materials. The problem is no longer limited to suspicious paperwork. Photos of damaged vehicles can now be edited to make a loss look worse or to help support a duplicate filing. According to a BBC report, one filing used an AI-edited number plate on a damaged Land Rover, while a similar image with a different plate appeared in a second case. Another image made rear-end damage look more severe than it was. Admiral…

One of the biggest problems with self-driving systems is that they can see the road perfectly well and still make shaky short-term decisions in messy city traffic. The advanced systems struggle to keep up with complex and fluctuating road situations. But a new study argues that these cars don’t need better vision, but a better memory. In the peer-reviewed paper KEPT (Knowledge-Enhanced Prediction of Trajectories from Consecutive Driving Frames with Vision-Language Models), researchers from Tongji University and collaborators developed a system that helps autonomous vehicles “remember” past driving scenes before choosing what to do next. How does this new self-driving…

The Ukrainian-based 4A Games, developer of the Metro series, has been through hell since releasing Metro Exodus in 2019. Like all of us, it endured the hardships of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. But unlike most of us, it had an unfortunate front row seat to watch its country become embroiled in a brutal – and still ongoing – war with Russia. These experiences have profoundly affected the direction of Metro 2039, the fourth mainline entry in the post-apocalyptic first-person shooter franchise.If you’re new to Metro, the universe is inspired by the Metro series of novels by Dmitry Glukhovsky. The games…

Intel has just launched its new Core Series 3 mobile processors for the next-generation of affordable laptops. The goal of these new chips is to give a more modern foundation to these accessible notebooks without dragging them into premium pricing territory. The official announcement of the new lineup is aimed at value buyers, schools, small businesses, and essential edge devices. But the highlight is that these chips are still based on the same broader foundation as Intel’s powerful new Core Ultra Series 3 family. So it still uses Intel’s 18A process node, features the hybrid CPU architecture, AI-ready capability, and…

Battlefield Studios has unveiled what’s coming to Battlefield 6 and Redsec for the remainder of the year via its 2026 roadmap. The game will soon receive a brand-new map – its biggest yet – alongside other updates based on player feedback. When Season 3 begins in May, it’s getting a reimagining of a classic Battlefield 4 map called Railway to Golmund. The map is the game’s largest yet and is set in Tajikistan after the events of Battlefield 6’s campaign. Later in the season, another legacy series map will arrive: Cairo Bazaar, an updated reimagining of Grand Bazaar from Battlefield 3.…
