Nothing Warp is back, but you’ll need to jump through hoops to actually use it

Nothing Warp is back once again, but that’s the only good news. Nothing revived its AirDrop-like file sharing feature after briefly pulling both the Android app and its Chrome extension shortly after launch. The company has finally revealed that the tool was taken down temporarily so they could “fine-tune” the product after early user feedback and technical evaluations. Nothing also reassured that this wasn’t done over security or privacy concerns, adding that Warp is built on Google’s infrastructure and does not handle user data itself. What is Warp? Warp is Nothing’s cross-device file transfer tool for moving files, links, images,…

ChatGPT lawsuit claims it advised a shooter on how and where to strike

Florida’s attorney general has launched a criminal investigation into OpenAI, alleging that ChatGPT helped plan the mass shooting at Florida State University that killed two people last year. According to The Washington Post, Attorney General James Uthmeier made the announcement at a news conference on Tuesday, claiming the chatbot gave tactical advice to the suspected shooter. “The chatbot advised the shooter on what type of gun to use, on which ammo went with which gun, on whether or not a gun would be useful at short range,” Uthmeier said.  He didn’t hold back on the implications either: “If it was…

Wide foldables sound like a fix to so many problems and I can’t wait for Apple to take stab at it

Huawei’s wide foldable look has me excited for the future of foldable smartphones. The new Pura X Max is pushing a wider, more passport-like shape instead of the usual tall-and-narrow foldable formula, and the result looks immediately more practical. And that is exactly why Apple’s foldable iPhone rumors are making a lot more sense to me. The wide shape fixes what regular foldables still get wrong A lot of foldables still feel like two compromised devices pretending to be one. Closed, they can be too narrow or too thick. Open, they give you more screen, but not always in a…

Razer just made the world’s thinnest glass mouse mat, and your wrists will thank you

If you game, you know how much little things matter. The height of your mouse mat, the friction on the surface, the size, everything affects not only your performance but also how your wrist will feel after a long session.  Razer addresses all of these problems with its new Atlas Pro mouse mat. At just 1.9mm from top to bottom, including the rubber base, the Atlas Pro breaks the sub-2mm barrier for a mousepad for the first time, and is the world’s thinnest glass mouse mat.  The glass layer itself is only 1.1mm thick.

Apple’s foldable is keeping Camera Control, but one-handed photography on a big foldable sounds tricky

Apple’s first foldable iPhone has been the subject of countless leaks, and the latest one comes from Weibo leaker Instant Digital. As reported by Notebookcheck, the leak suggests that the iPhone Fold will include the Camera Control button, despite being thinner than the iPhone Air when unfolded. That’s no small feat. Fitting the Camera Control button into a device that slim must have required some serious engineering work on Apple’s part. But apparently, Apple felt it was worth it. Why is Apple so committed to camera control? According to the leaker, the reason is simple: one-handed photography. Foldables have a…

The Boys’ official X account has even joked that the show is a documentary…

Oppo Find X9 Ultra lands with camera chops that Apple and Samsung won’t dare attempt

Oppo has launched the Find X9 Ultra, and on the surface it looks like exactly the kind of phone you would expect an Ultra flagship to be in 2026. It has the huge high-end display, the newest Snapdragon chip, a massive battery, fast wired and wireless charging, strong durability ratings, and all the AI-flavored software extras that now come bundled with premium Android phones by default. In other words, the basics are covered, and then some. But where the Find X9 Ultra really sticks out is with the photography. Oppo isn’t playing the same camera game as everyone else. While…
