Google is shutting down a feature that many people used to check whether their personal information had ended up in data breaches. The company has confirmed that its dark web report tool will stop scanning for new leaks in mid-January and will be fully discontinued on February 16, 2026. The feature was designed to alert users if details like their email address, phone number, name, or other personal data appeared in known dark web breach dumps, but Google now says it did not go far enough in helping people act on those alerts. Why Google is pulling the plug on…
Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios revealed Divinity, a new game in its long-running Divinity series that includes 2017’s Divinity: Original Sin II, during The Game Awards 2025 earlier this month. Though we all assumed it, Larian has since confirmed that Divinity will be a turn-based RPG in a new interview with Bloomberg. Speaking to Bloomberg, Larian founder, CEO, and creative director Swen Vincke called the game a “turn-based RPG,” quelling any fears the studio would be experimenting outside of its bread and butter. That said, Vincke also teased the game’s massive scale. “This is going to be us unleashed, I think,”…
With how pricey DDR5 has gotten, a prebuilt that includes 32GB of RAM out of the box already feels like a win. The fact that this one also hands you an Intel Core i7-14700F, RTX 5060 8GB, and a 1TB NVMe SSD for under a grand makes it a very easy gaming PC to recommend if you just want something fast, clean, and ready to go.

While the dolls were out, we captured some exclusive video of each, giving you a close-up look of Reimagined’s party members: Hero, Maribel, Kiefer, Ruff, Aishe, and Sir Mervyn. Alongside that, we spoke to Reimagined director Masato Yagi about the decision to create a doll-like visual style and…

Ford has confirmed a significant shift for its iconic F-150 Lightning pickup. Its next generation won’t be a fully battery-electric vehicle (BEV). Instead, it will be an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) that pairs the electric motofrs of the outgoing generation with a gasoline engine to increase the total range. While the new EREV setup retains its electric propulsion system — electric motors still drive its wheels — the gasoline engine will act as an onboard generator, recharging the battery on the go. Altogether, the electric and combustion engine-powered powertrain will offer a driving range of over 700 miles. The change…
Hollow Knight: Silksong developer Team Cherry has revealed that the game will get a free nautical-themed expansion sometime next year, adding new areas, bosses, tools, and more.

That’s an exciting update from Team Cherry as the developer looks to close out the year, but it also announced that it’s working on a Nintendo Switch 2 edition of Hollow Knight that will launch in 2026 and be free to all owners of Hollow Knight…
The Cupertino-based tech giant Apple has quietly rolled out the first beta of iOS 26.3, and it includes a built-in “Transfer to Android” feature. Found in Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone, the new feature helps iOS users migrate key content, such as their messages, notes, photos, and contacts, to a new Android device. The “Transfer to Android” feature works wirelessly by establishing a peer-to-peer Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connection (similar to how AirDrop works for iOS devices). While Apple has had a “Move to iOS” app on the Google Play Store to help Android users migrate to iPhones,…
The all-screen iPhone 2027 rumor has a new twist: Apple may be planning a step-by-step rollout, instead of flipping the switch all at once. Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station says Apple could debut under-screen camera tech in its first foldable iPhone, then bring what works to a radically redesigned 2027 iPhone. The strategy, as described, is basically a public trial. An under-screen selfie camera puts the lens behind the display with no visible hole, but any hit to image quality would be obvious fast. A foldable model gives Apple a place to measure reaction before it commits that look to…
