OpenAI has once again pushed back the launch of ChatGPT’s planned “adult mode,” a feature that would allow verified adult users to access erotica and other mature content inside the chatbot. The delay was confirmed to Axios, with the company saying it wants to prioritize improvements that benefit a broader set of users. The feature has been in the works for months. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman first floated the idea in October, suggesting the company would eventually allow more adult-oriented responses once proper age-verification systems were in place. The original plan reportedly targeted a December rollout before slipping to early…
A new investigation suggests that popular AI chatbots, including ChatGPT and Gemini, may inadvertently steer users toward illegal gambling websites. The analysis, conducted by journalists at The Guardian and Investigate Europe, tested several widely used AI systems and found that many could be prompted to recommend unlicensed offshore casinos operating outside UK regulations. The tests involved five AI tools from major tech companies, including OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and xAI (Grok). Researchers asked the chatbots questions about online casinos and gambling restrictions. In many cases, the systems returned lists of illegal betting sites, along with tips on how to use…
Samsung may soon take a page from Nothing and bring AI-generated apps directly to Galaxy phones. In a recent interview, a Samsung executive suggested the company is exploring the idea of “vibe coding”, where users simply describe what they want an app to do and an AI system writes the code for them. The idea surfaced during TechRadar’s conversation with Won-Joon Choi, head of Samsung’s Mobile Experience division. When asked about the possibility of bringing vibe coding to Galaxy devices, Choi said it’s “something we’re looking into.” The concept, he explained, could unlock entirely new ways for users to customize…
NVIDIA may be bringing back one of its most popular GPUs, and interestingly, Samsung could be the one helping build it. According to a report from Korean outlet Hankyung, Samsung Foundry is preparing to manufacture chips for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, effectively reviving the older Ampere GPU for the current market. The move suggests NVIDIA may be leaning on Samsung’s manufacturing capacity to keep gaming GPUs flowing while the industry deals with supply constraints and shifting demand. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 originally launched in 2021 and quickly became one of the most widely used GPUs among PC gamers.…
NASA had been hoping to launch four astronauts on a voyage around the moon in the Artemis II mission in February, but technical issues with the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket forced the space agency to delay the much-hyped endeavor. All being well, the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft carrying NASA’s Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, together with the Canadian Space Agency’s Jeremy Hansen, will roar away from the Kennedy Space Center launchpad in Florida next month. To keep space fans happy during the wait, NASA recently posted a trailer (top) for its documentary series that builds up…
Apple’s iMac lineup may still have a bigger future than many expected. While the company currently focuses on the 24-inch iMac powered by Apple Silicon, new reports suggest Apple has not abandoned the idea of larger and more powerful versions of its iconic all-in-one desktop computer. Instead, the company is continuing internal experiments with iMac models that feature bigger displays and more powerful processors. The development indicates that Apple’s desktop strategy is still evolving as the company expands its Mac portfolio following the success of its custom Apple Silicon chips. Apple Still Testing Larger iMac Designs Apple currently sells a…
Apple appears to be preparing a busy year for its Mac lineup in 2026, with multiple new models expected to arrive across different price tiers.

The upcoming launches follow Apple’s steady push to modernize its Mac portfolio after transitioning away from Intel processors to its own Apple Silicon chips. Since that shift began, Apple has introduced faster and more power-efficient computers…
Apple is reportedly exploring a new type of aluminum manufacturing process that could reshape how its smartwatches are built. According to a recent report, the company is experimenting with advanced techniques such as 3D-printing aluminum components for future Apple Watch models. The move signals a broader shift in how Apple designs and manufactures its devices, potentially improving efficiency, durability, and sustainability in the process. A new direction for Apple Watch materials Apple has long relied on aluminum as one of the primary materials for its mainstream smartwatch lineup. However, the company is now investigating ways to use additive manufacturing –…
The newly introduced MacBook Neo is not the MacBook people expected. It’s not chasing raw performance, and it’s certainly not trying to replace machines like the MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. Rather, Apple seems to have built something simpler: a genuine Mac experience on a budget. At $599, the MacBook Neo is Apple’s most accessible laptop in years. And yes, its chip is faster than the ageing Apple M1. That’s not exactly a flex since the M1 is a six-year-old chip at this point. But performance isn’t really the point of this machine. The MacBook Neo is about getting the…
On today’s episode of You Asked: What’s on the way from Sony to replace the Bravia 9, and should you still consider buying one in 2026 versus more recent competition? And why does picture quality take a dip in game mode? What’s replacing the Sony Bravia 9 in 2026? @willgatlin8229 asks: What’s taking the Sony Bravia 9’s place in 2026? That would be whatever Sony has up their sleeve for their RGB backlit TV. The term OLED killer gets thrown around a lot, and who knows if this could fit that description, but I’d bet it’ll be among the top…
