Hynox Trooper X MSRP $1,499.00 Released February 2026 “The Hynox Trooper X could be the best value for an eBike with this hardware spec on the market.” Pros Plenty of power and torque Dual suspension, adjustable air shock Folds at both the frame and handlebars Cons Throttle torque could be considered too powerful Poor assembly instructions I live at the top of a pretty steep hill, and there is always that fear of mine that the eBike I am reviewing just won’t have the power to make it up that hill – especially the more affordable bikes. The Hynox Trooper…

TCL expanded its budget tablet lineup today with two new 11-inch options: the TAB A1 and TAB A1 NXTPAPER.

TCL TAB A1, the straightforward budget pick The standard TAB A1 costs $190 and packs an 11-inch, 2.1K display with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate.

I wrote this article at roughly 3 am, sitting in a clinic lobby while my friend talks to an oncologist in the cabin behind me. The air is saturated with the smell of medicines, of course, and the atmosphere has an unmistakable whiff of gloom that compels me to exit the compound as soon as possible. The overwhelming sensation, however, is that of rage and fury.  Merely an hour ago, I had received a call from my 24-year-old friend, complaining about a severe headache and pain in her stomach. She is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer, and after seeing…

Huawei just gave the world an early look at its next blood pressure watch, and this one ditches the bulky look that’s defined the category since 2021. The Watch D3 made a surprise appearance at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Munich this week, days ahead of its official reveal on September 2. Unlike most smartwatches that estimate your blood pressure from wrist sensors, this one actually takes real readings. How does the Huawei Watch D3 measure blood pressure The Watch D3 uses an inflatable strap with a tiny built in pump, essentially shrinking a traditional blood pressure cuff…

For the past decade, interacting with home artificial intelligence has followed a predictable, rigid pattern. A person says a wake word, asks for the weather or to turn off the lights, the speaker replies, and then the exchange ends right there. While functional, this keeps smart devices strictly transactional. They remain tools activated for a specific chore rather than systems that naturally fit into a living space. OlloBot is charting a fundamentally different path with the OlloNi SS1, an embodied AI companion, which refers to artificial intelligence built into a physical, mobile body rather than trapped inside a screen. Introduced…

The Sinking City 2 excels at delivering a captivating and eerie atmosphere, artistically alluring visuals, and jump-inducing sound design. However, much like the shambling reanimated corpses players confront, it tends to stumble as it walks the same well-paved road laid by Resident Evil 4. This long-awaited sequel aligns with its predecessor’s reception; a respectable scare fest with entertaining puzzle-solving, but middling combat, flawed progression, and an underwhelming narrative hold it back from reaching the horrific heights of its more celebrated contemporaries.Despite the number 2 in its title, this follow-up to 2019’s The Sinking City is a standalone story starring a…

A new study just gave AI chatbots a mixed report card on how they handle users in crisis. Transluce, a nonprofit focused on AI oversight, simulated over 50,000 conversations across 77 model variants and found today’s chatbots almost never explicitly encourage suicide anymore. That is a major change from earlier models like GPT-4o and Gemini 2.5, which reinforced delusions in up to 82% of simulated chats, a gap that matters as more people turn to chatbots for deeply personal conversations. The blind spot in AI chatbots handling suicide and self-harm related requests Transluce cofounder Sarah Schwettmann told Axios that models…

Instagram just drew a hard line around AI influencers pretending to be real people. The platform is renaming its old AI creator label to AI-generated profile, and this time it comes with penalties too. Accounts featuring a fully AI-generated person will see their reach cut if they skip the label, meaning your feed is about to get a lot more honest about who is actually behind the account. So what counts as an AI-generated profile? This label is specifically for profiles where the person you see is entirely artificial, not for real creators who just use AI tools while making…

Cycling isn’t an expensive hobby outright. But as you start getting serious, a cyclist can spend a frankly exorbitant amount of money measuring what their legs are doing. In a more professional setting, things like instrumented pedals, bike computers, heart-rate sensors, and a lot more start becoming important. All of this just helps squeeze out more information out of every ride. Now, researchers at La Trobe University (Via TechXplore) are exploring whether one piece of hardware most people already own could eventually handle a surprisingly sophisticated part of that job. This isn’t some specialized hardware either; it’s a small gadget…

Samsung may be planning to standardize the zoom camera across the Galaxy S27, S27+, and S27 Pro, while keeping the Ultra on a separate telephoto setup. According to tipster @phonefuturist, the Galaxy S27 and S27+ are being tested with the same 3x telephoto system as the Galaxy S27 Pro. The claim lines up with an earlier ETNews report that pointed to a 12MP 3x telephoto camera for the Pro, although the latest leak does not confirm whether it is referring to that exact sensor. If accurate, Samsung could be giving all three non-Ultra models the same zoom hardware, while reserving…
