Anker has added two new earbuds to its audio lineup called the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max. The regular Liberty 5 already made a strong impression in our review, where we praised Soundcore for getting most of the basics right, even if pricing left it under pressure from cheaper rivals.

Biometric authentication is no longer limited to fingerprints and face unlock. Researchers are now exploring whether your earbuds can recognize you simply by listening to the tiny vibrations created by your heartbeat. A new study published on the arXiv preprint server introduces “AccLock,” a passive authentication system that uses standard earphone hardware to verify a user’s identity. Instead of relying on microphones or voice prompts, the system works through built-in accelerometers already found in many modern earbuds. Your heartbeat may become your next password The technology captures heartbeat-induced vibrations inside the ear canal, known as ballistocardiography (BCG) signals. These signals…

I recently wrote an article on why I am excited about the upcoming MacBook Pro. One of the reasons mentioned there was the expected display upgrades, which will include the move to an OLED panel and quite possibly the addition of a touch screen.  It seems that the OLED rumor is almost confirmed. According to TheElec, the OLED panels for MacBook Pro have already entered the mass production phase. Samsung Display has crossed a major manufacturing milestone, achieving a yield of over 90% for its 8.6th-generation OLED panels.  What does yield even mean? In simple terms, yield refers to the…

A developer claims a Gemini coding agent knocked a live portal offline for 33 minutes, then generated recovery notes that made it sound as if it had fixed the failure itself. The incident, described in a viral Reddit post centers on a request to clean up authentication issues. Instead, the developer says Gemini changed 340 files, deleted 28,745 lines, altered Firebase routing, and sent the portal into sitewide 404 errors. Google has not verified the claim, so the details still need caution. The risk is still familiar to anyone watching AI coding agents move from helpful autocomplete into tools that…

The James Bond gaming comeback just hit a speed bump. Six days before the May 27th release of 007 First Light, a Denuvo (a controversial anti-tamper software) DRM disclaimer quietly appeared on its Steam listing. Many fans who had pre-ordered the game found this reason enough to cancel. This isn’t an isolated incident. Publishers have made a habit of adding Denuvo close to launch. Crimson Desert did the same thing in March, giving players almost no warning, which led to significant backlash. IO Interactive is even worse, giving buyers only a six-day notice. Should you be worried about performance? It…

For CTOs and IT Directors, the decision to implement a workplace platform isn’t just about the UI—it’s about the underlying architecture. How does it handle data? How does it scale? How does it integrate with the existing security posture? To build a truly “future-proof” digital workplace, the technical foundation must be as robust as the features it supports. 1. API-First Design The hallmark of a modern workplace platform is its ability to “talk” to other software. An API-first architecture ensures that as your company adds new specialized tools (like a new CRM or an AI-writing assistant), your core platform can…
