China’s Unitree Robotics is reportedly preparing to take its most affordable humanoid robot global. Industry sources suggest an international rollout may be on the horizon, with a potential US launch also on the cards. What does the Unitree R1 offer? Launched last year, the Unitree R1 is one of the most affordable humanoid robots out there, with a starting price of around $4,900. That makes it significantly cheaper than most existing humanoid robots, which typically cost well into the five figures. Despite its low price, the R1 is no slouch. It stands about 1.2 meters tall and weighs roughly 25-27…
More than half of Gen Zers in the US use generative AI regularly. So you’d think they’d be its biggest cheerleaders. As it turns out, not so much. According to a New York Times report, a new survey by Gallup, the Walton Family Foundation, and GSV Ventures surveyed more than 1,500 people aged 14 to 29 and found that Gen Z is growing increasingly skeptical of the technology they use every day. Is the excitement wearing off? The numbers are pretty telling. Excitement for AI dropped 14 percentage points since last year, hopefulness fell nine points, while anger rose by…
A new report from Korea Business TV sheds light on not one but two important aspects of the upcoming Galaxy Z foldable lineup. First, it claims that Samsung is gearing up to unveil new foldables devices at its second Galaxy Unpacked event of the year, which could take place in London on July 22, 2026.

Just when it felt like ChatGPT pricing couldn’t get any more confusing, OpenAI has added yet another tier to the mix, and this one sits right in the middle with a neat $100/month price tag. And no, this isn’t just a random new plan. It’s very clearly aimed at a specific kind of user… the kind who’s already pushing ChatGPT way harder than most people. OpenAI’s new $100 plan is built for heavy users OpenAI has introduced a new $100/month ChatGPT Pro tier, positioned between the $20 Plus plan and the existing $200 Pro plan. The focus here is pretty…
Marvel Television just dropped the first trailer for The Punisher: One Last Kill, and it is exactly as intense as you would expect from a character who has never been particularly interested in playing it safe. Jon Bernthal returns as Frank Castle this month on Disney+, and based on what the trailer shows, he is carrying a lot of weight going into this one. The official synopsis describes Frank as someone who “searches for meaning beyond revenge, when an unexpected force pulls him back into the fight.” That is about as much as Marvel is giving away for now. Punisher:…
Ever since I played 1000xResist (and gave it a glowing review upon Game Informer’s relaunch), I have been eager to see what its developer, Sunset Visitor, would do next. Today, the indie studio finally pulled the curtain back on its next project, Prove You’re Human, a dark sci-fi narrative adventure game where you interact with the world using a CAPTCHA mechanic. Take a look at the reveal trailer below. The game, like 1000xResist, combines a wide variety of visual and narrative elements that sound overly complex at first, but seem to gel well in the trailer. In a conversation with Remy Siu…
The era of truly good budget phones is over, and you can blame AI for that. Due to the rising chip costs, even flagship phones are feeling the pinch. And that’s why, when TCL finally brought the NXTPAPER 70 Pro to the US, it came as a big surprise to me. The phone costs just $199, nearly half the price you’d pay in other markets. Yes, the phone is exclusive to T-Mobile, but at $199, the NXTPAPER 70 Pro felt something else. A 6.9-inch 120Hz display, IP68 water resistance, 5,200mAh battery, 50MP camera, and TCL’s NXTPAPER 4.0 display technology, which…
Last year’s Triple-i Initiative showcase included the announcement teaser for Neverway, a game that’s part action, part life sim, and part moody, existential horror. This year, the game returned to the event, bringing two of the most exciting pieces of news a showcase trailer can bring: the game has a release window, and you can try it out for free on Steam today. You can watch the latest trailer below. The game follows a young, profoundly depressed woman named Fiona who moves to a remote island to become a farmer and live the simple life. But try as she might to…
