Xbox Cloud Gaming leaks are pointing to something players have wanted for years, a way to bring back older titles that quietly disappeared. Activity inside Microsoft’s cloud systems indicates it may be testing how to reintroduce classic releases, including Xbox 360 games, across modern platforms. Dataminers tracking xCloud spotted several legacy games briefly show up before being removed. These include Aegis Wing, Mars War Logs, and Prince of Persia Sands of Time, each appearing with odd placeholders like incorrect pricing attached. That doesn’t confirm a rollout, but it lines up with Microsoft’s push to expand backward compatibility across consoles, Windows…

Your Strava runs might feel private, but a new Strava military data leak shows how easily that information can reveal more than your workout. In the latest case, activity logs have been linked to more than 500 UK military personnel, connecting everyday exercise to sensitive locations. This goes beyond visible routes. Shared histories and account details can be combined to identify people and map where they live and work. Known locations become more revealing once behavior is layered on top. A recent incident showed how a single tracked session revealed the position of a naval vessel. Routine posts can carry…

This canceled LG Rollable smartphone highlights how far behind today’s designs feel. A newly surfaced teardown from JerryRigEverything shows the device wasn’t just experimental, it pushed further than what you can actually buy today.

On today’s episode of You Asked: How long should your OLED TV last? Will you actually notice a difference between different TV types? And why is Dolby Atmos not making it from your Blu-ray player to the speakers? Can you see the difference between OLED and QLED at a distance? @mk1976mk asks: Can a normal person sitting 15′ away really notice the difference (between OLED and QLED)? If the TVs are side-by-side, yes, you’ll notice a difference, especially if it’s HDR or content with lots of contrast. You can see the difference in the black levels, at least in person.…

‘Dead game’ is a term thrown around loosely now. You’ll often hear players say it whenever a game drops a few spots in the Steam concurrent players chart, gets a bad balance update, or makes a change that angers the community. But that’s not what actually makes a game dead. Dead games usually disappear twice. First when the players leave, and then again when people stop talking about them. The games on this list never really managed the second part. Not all of these games are “dead” in the exact same way. Some are officially gone. Some are technically still…

Hollywood is always chasing popular trends, from cinematic universes to live-action remakes to, more recently, double features. However, it looks like Marvel Studios may avoid chasing the latter with one of its superhero films. Hollywood insider John Campea reported that Marvel Studios is considering moving the release date of Avengers: Doomsday, saying, “The very non-committable discussions have taken place.” This news suggests the movie may premiere on the same day as Dune: Part Three, thereby burying the “Dunesday” double feature in the sand. It is still too early to say whether this news is true. The announcement comes after Jumanji…

Samsung hasn’t even announced the Galaxy S26 FE, but it’s already appeared on the benchmark listings. Renowned Indian tipster Abhishek Yadav spotted the device in Geekbench’s database under the model number “SM-S741U.”  Screenshots of the listing, however, are still available. The Galaxy S26 FE scored 2,426 points in the single-core and 8,004 points on the multi-core Geekbench 6 CPU test, running Android 17 with 8GB of memory.  What do the numbers actually tell us? In retrospect, those figures land well below what the standard Galaxy S26 putson the board. The Galaxy S26 and the S26 Plus, with Samsung’s Exynos 2600…

Just when it felt like smartphone designs had hit a plateau, something genuinely different shows up. A new device from Bigme is making waves for combining two completely different display technologies into one phone. And no, this isn’t a gimmick flip screen or a folding panel. Instead, it’s a mix of color e-ink and a traditional LCD, and the idea is surprisingly practical. A smartphone with two displays that serve very different purposes The newly spotted device is being touted as the first smartphone to feature both a color e-ink screen and an LCD panel in a single body. The…

Loneliness has quietly become one of the biggest modern problems, and now, AI is stepping in as an unlikely companion. A new study led by Aalto University, set to be presented at CHI 2026, explores how AI companions impact users over time. And the results are a bit of a mixed bag. While interacting with AI companions can help users feel supported and less alone, the study also found signs of increased emotional distress in their online language over time, suggesting the relationship isn’t as simple as it seems. Can AI really make people feel less lonely? According to recent…

LinkedIn might be doing a lot more than just showing you job posts and connection requests. If the latest reports are anything to go by, it’s also quietly peeking into your browser setup. A new investigation is raising serious privacy concerns, claiming the platform is scanning thousands of Chrome extensions and collecting device-level data in the background. And yeah, it’s as uncomfortable as it sounds. LinkedIn may be scanning thousands of your browser extensions According to findings from the BrowserGate report, LinkedIn allegedly injects hidden JavaScript into its website that scans users’ browsers for installed extensions, over 6,000 of them.…
