A new wave of Android flagships is on the horizon, and they’re not playing it safe. The biggest shift is that these phones are going all-in on cameras, while eclipsing the apex Android predators (read: Samsung and Google) in a few other ways, too. The specifications of the upcoming Vivo X300 Ultra were revealed on Weibo, and the device is confirmed to feature a 200MP periscope telephoto sensor (likely 1/1.4-inch class), paired with a large 1-inch-type primary sensor and an upgraded ultra-wide lens, along with advanced zoom systems and improved color science. That’s pushing smartphone photography closer to dedicated cameras,…
In a rather disappointing announcement, Apple officially pulled the plug on the Mac Pro on March 26, 2026. You cannot find the system on the company’s website anymore, at least not where it used to be. If you ask me, it’s a cold send-off for the machine that once defined what professional computing meant. The product page now redirects visitors to the general Mac homepage. However, you can still find one if you are okay with a used one. At the time of writing this story, Apple’s Certified Refurbished store has 17 units still quietly listed and available for purchase.…
Generative AI isn’t just changing how we work, but it’s also transforming how scams are pulled off. As per Vyntra’s 2026 report, tasks that once took fraudsters over 16 hours can now be done in under 5 minutes using generative AI tools. That’s a massive shift. What used to require skill, time, and effort can now be automated and scaled almost instantly, turning fraud into what experts are calling a $400 billion global industry. Why is AI making fraud so easy? Because it removes the biggest barriers: time and expertise. Modern AI tools can generate convincing phishing emails, deepfake voices,…
For years, Macs have had one glaring weakness: gaming. But with the new M5 MacBook Pro, Apple might finally be getting close to fixing that. Or at least brute-forcing its way around it. Recent testing by Andrew Tsai shows the M5 Max MacBook Pro can run a wide range of AAA Windows games smoothly, even through emulation layers like CrossOver. We’re talking heavy titles like Horizon Forbidden West and Black Myth: Wukong, and while not every game was perfect, the majority ran “superbly” despite not being native macOS apps. That’s kind of wild when you think about it, considering these…
Sony has hit pause on a major part of its storage business, and not-so-surprisingly, AI is one of the reasons behind it. The company has officially announced that it is temporarily suspending orders for most of its CFexpress and SD memory cards, citing a global shortage of semiconductor memory. The suspension applies to both retailers and direct customers, and there’s currently no clear timeline for when sales will resume. This isn’t just a minor supply hiccup. Instead, it’s a sign of a much bigger problem brewing across the tech industry. So what’s actually going on? At the core of this…
When Apple introduced Siri back in 2011, the world freaked out. A personal assistant on a phone with conversational chops elicited an audible gasp from the audience, and plenty of fear. “That it’s a sinister, potentially alien artificial intelligence that’s bound to kill us all,” CNN’s coverage surmised. It was a one-of-a-kind advancement, something Apple was delivering consistently back then. And then it fell off. Now, Siri has a reputation for being, well… not exactly the sharpest voice assistant, especially in a pool of next-gen generative AI assistants such as Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT. Anyone who’s tried asking it a…
(NOTE: This article is part of an ongoing series documenting an experiment with using AI to fill the NCAA brackets and see how it fares against years of human experience. The original article is as follows.) A week ago, I wrote about entering an NCAA tournament pool with a more disciplined process than I usually use. Instead of relying on mascots, vibes, or whatever team happened to look great on Saturday afternoon, I tried to think about the bracket the way an investor or analyst would: separate raw forecasting from expected value, build one bracket around the highest probability of success, build another…
Apple just revealed Liminal, and it already looks like a serious contender for its next big sci-fi movie. With a clear sci-fi hook and recognizable names attached, this is the kind of announcement that’s easy to get invested in early. The project comes from Apple Original Films and pairs Vanessa Kirby with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in leading roles. It’s directed by Louis Leterrier, who’s known for keeping stories fast and visually sharp, which already hints at a more kinetic kind of sci-fi than Apple usually leans into. Some key details are still missing, including a release timeline and production start.…
Living in a geographical pocket where the terrain quickly changes from lush backyard to open trails within a few minutes of walking, I am constantly concerned about my furry friends losing the track. The situation is not too different if you live in dense suburbs — there’s a persistent worry about dogs wandering beyond the safe zone of your yard or open estate. Needless to say, pet trackers are a must to ensure the well-being of my dogs, but finding a reliable one isn’t a cakewalk. That’s where SATELLAI comes into the picture, a brand that combines the warmth of pet care with cutting-edge satellite-driven location tracking and…
While most Chromium-based browsers treat tab management as an afterthought, Vivaldi takes a smarter approach. Its latest iOS update doubles down on one of its best ideas: two-level tab stacks. It’s not a new feature, but it’s one of the few that actually makes juggling dozens of tabs on a phone feel manageable. A small but genuinely useful feature Instead of hiding grouped tabs in a menu or forcing you to switch to a different page, Vivaldi keeps everything accessible, letting you switch between related tabs quickly and intuitively. The browser displays your main tabs in a row at the…
