One of the coolest features of Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series, likely reserved for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, is Privacy Display. Using directional OLED pixels and clever software implementation, the feature can hide the entire screen (or specific parts) when viewed from an angle, preventing shoulder surfing in public areas. We’ve also seen the feature in a couple of hands-on pictures so far, and it looks, well, impressive. Chinese brands are quite impressed from Samsung’s Privacy Display Turns out it wasn’t just me who was impressed with the feature. Renowned Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station claims that “domestic manufacturers” (referring to…
MOFT has officially rolled out its new snap-on MagSafe wallet, first unveiled at CES 2026, and it brings Apple Find My tracking into an ultra-slim design. The accessory combines three everyday functions into one attachment, working as a MagSafe wallet, a fold-out phone stand, and a trackable item you can locate through Apple’s Find My network. At just 0.25 inches thick, MOFT calls it the thinnest trackable wallet stand with Find My support. The accessory is designed for iPhone users who want fewer add-ons attached to their phone, without giving up everyday utility. The Trackable Snap-on Phone Stand & Wallet…
Annual franchises have the difficult task of staying fresh and exciting within a development cycle that doesn’t allow for gargantuan changes each year. It’s a reality fans should keep in mind when measuring their expectations for the next release, but it’s also understandable to desire major shakeups. After playing a few hours of WWE 2K26 at 2K’s Creator’s Fest at WWE Headquarters last week, I felt conflicted by its overwhelming familiarity while still acknowledging some neat additions and subtle improvements.During my session, I toured most of the usual modes. I peeked at the CM Punk-focused Showcase, began a new campaign…
Gen Z is breathing new life into the iPod. Young people are now checking eBay and Facebook Marketplace for the very devices their parents carried around a decade ago. The numbers prove it. Google Trends data shows search interest for the original iPod and the iPod Nano jumped last year, even though Apple killed the product line in 2022. Between January and October 2025, eBay saw searches for the iPod Classic rise 25% and the iPod Nano climb 20% compared to the same period in 2024. Internal eBay figures shared with Axios tell the story. For a generation raised on…
Nothing has given us our first official look at the upcoming Nothing Phone 4a ahead of its March 5 launch, showcasing a refreshed back panel that builds on the Phone 3a‘s design while staying true to the brand’s signature aesthetic. The render, shared in a recent post on X, reveals the Phone 4a in a white colorway featuring the brand’s iconic semi-transparent look. The device, much like its predecessor, features a horizontal pill-shaped camera island that houses three sensors. However, it’s closer to the top of the device and no longer has the circular design element seen previously. Instead of…
Forget the fender bender. The real danger to self-driving cars might be a hack that sleeps inside the vehicle’s AI, waiting for the right moment to strike. Georgia Tech researchers uncovered a new vulnerability called VillainNet, and it exposes a critical blind spot in autonomous systems. The backdoor stays inactive until specific conditions wake it up. Then it works 99% of the time. A criminal could program the trigger for almost anything, say a self-driving taxi responding to rain. Current security tools can’t spot this threat. Your car could be compromised and you’d never know until it’s too late. How…
Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy S26 series this week, but a steady stream of leaks has already revealed much of what to expect from all three models. Detailed specifications and design changes have surfaced in recent weeks, and an unboxing video offered the clearest look yet at the top-end Galaxy S26 Ultra earlier today. Now, a fresh leak has given us a look at the two Samsung-exclusive colorways for the flagship model. As per earlier leaks, Samsung is expected to offer the Galaxy S26 Ultra in six colorways. These reportedly include four standard finishes, Black, Cobalt Violet, Sky…
Modern smart TVs have a fatal flaw: the software ages significantly faster than the hardware. A beautiful 4K panel can easily last a decade, but the built-in operating system will become a laggy, ad-filled, bloated mess within three years. Add in the privacy concerns of viewing data collection and unskippable interface ads, and it is easy to see why tech enthusiasts are pivoting back to “dumb” screens. The new power-user move is to buy a display that does nothing but show a picture, and pair it with a dedicated, high-power streaming box (like an Apple TV 4K or Nvidia Shield)…
OpenAI released fresh Signals data pulled from millions of consumer messages sent between July 2024 and the end of 2025. The company sorted through those conversations to figure out what people actually do with ChatGPT when they are not at work. The findings paint a surprisingly human picture. The analysis splits interactions into three buckets. Asking covers moments when you want information or clarification. Doing includes tasks where you need ChatGPT to produce something. Expressing is when users share thoughts or feelings without expecting any output or answer. That third category keeps showing up, suggesting people are finding something in…
When the spring weather finally breaks, the immediate urge is to take your laptop to the patio or the park. But within five minutes, you realize the sun has turned your expensive screen into a dark, highly reflective mirror. For years, we shopped for screens based on resolution (4K) or refresh rates (120Hz). But if you want to work outside, the only metric that matters is nits (the measurement of brightness) combined with a matte or anti-reflective coating. An average office laptop outputs about 250 to 300 nits, which is immediately washed out by direct sunlight. To overpower the sun,…
