Apple TV is home to a handful of beloved original TV shows and an increasingly wide slate of films, including some classics. On the same day the streaming service is hiking up the fee, we are hearing news of yet another heavy-hitting addition to the content portfolio. According to Deadline, Apple has acquired worldwide rights for streaming “Small Prophets,” which first made its premiere on BBC iPlayer and BBC TV earlier this year. And before we dig into more details, here is the interesting part. Small Prophets currently has a rating of 100% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes, which is pretty…
It’s been six years since State of Decay 3 was announced during a 2020 Xbox Games Showcase, and in the time since, the gaming landscape – as well as the company of its then-parent company, Xbox – has shifted dramatically. Not only has Xbox adjusted its business model and transitioned to a new leadership team, but we have seen the entirety of the Xbox Series X/S generation to this point play out in the time since the announcement. The debut trailer seemed to come and go with little substance beyond the 2020 trailer, and Xbox’s business woes became so dire…
The megapixel race shows no signs of slowing down. After Oppo and Vivo both packed two 200MP cameras on their latest Ultra flagships, Oppo now appears ready to push the hardware envelope even further. According to leaker Digital Chat Station, the company may equip the upcoming Find X10 Pro Max with three 200MP sensors across its primary, telephoto, and ultrawide cameras.

What a 200MP ultrawide camera could deliver By putting a 200MP sensor behind an ultrawide lens, Oppo could…
South Korea wants to make access to artificial intelligence as easy as electricity or public transit. Instead of leaving premium AI tools behind a subscription, the government plans to pay for them, giving every citizen free access through a new initiative called ‘AI for All’. According to the Wall Street Journal, the program is designed to boost the use of homegrown AI chatbots while reducing the country’s dependence on models developed in the US and China. ‘AI for All’ aims to put premium chatbots in everyone’s hands The AI tools will go well beyond answering questions. They will integrate with…
Robot vacuums can clean floors on their own, but there is still plenty of maintenance involved. Brushes collect hair, dustbins need emptying, and mops need to be washed and dried between cleaning sessions. Roborock’s new Qrevo 2 Pro is built in a way to reduce some of that work. The robot vacuum offers 25,000Pa of suction, automatic mop removal, anti-tangle brushes, and a multifunction dock that can empty its dust bin, refill its water tank, and clean the mops. The Qrevo 2 Pro launches in the U.S. on August 28 for $549.99 as part of an introductory promotion. Its regular…
If you were hoping to squeeze Grand Theft Auto VI into a quiet weekend, Rockstar may have other plans. The next entry in one of gaming’s biggest franchises could be a seriously long commitment, with its main story and optional activities reportedly pushing some playthroughs beyond the 80-hour mark. According to a New York Times interview, Rockstar Games co-studio head Rob Nelson described Grand Theft Auto VI as “very, very immersive and lengthy.” Nelson said his own playthrough took around 80 hours, including the main story and some optional objectives. The report, shown on page 1 of the attached document,…
Walk into almost any home after a busy day and the floor tells a more complicated story than a vacuum cleaner is designed to handle. There might be crumbs under the dining table, a little water beside the sink, hair near the sofa, and the faint trail of dirt that arrived on someone’s shoes. None of it is particularly difficult to clean on its own. The problem is that it doesn’t arrive one type of mess at a time. HIZERO has built its entire cleaning philosophy around that awkward reality. Instead of asking how much suction a cleaner needs to…
Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy S26 FE, and as predicted, most of the hardware sticks pretty close to what we already saw on the Galaxy S25 FE. The phone uses the Exynos 2500, keeps the same 4,900mAh battery capacity, and carries over a familiar triple-camera setup. The more interesting changes are on the software side. Samsung is making the Galaxy S26 FE the first phone in the Galaxy S26 lineup to ship with One UI 9, while also bringing over several newer camera and Galaxy AI features. Most of the hardware stays familiar The Galaxy S26 FE has a…
It has become increasingly common for people to confide in or share sensitive personal information with AI chatbots like ChatGPT. Some use it to unpack relationships, while others discuss sensitive messages or work-related documents. Many have even turned to such services for medical diagnosis. This intimacy, though, creates an uncomfortable new problem. A private ChatGPT conversation isn’t necessarily a legally protected one. The Washington Post reviewed public records and local reporting and found chatbot conversations cited in 12 civil and criminal court cases over the past two years. The real number could be considerably higher because investigators and litigants do…
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and more than 100 other companies and organizations are warning that AI-powered cyberattacks could become much more widespread and sophisticated within months. The group is calling for a global push on cyber defense as more capable AI models make attacks easier to automate and harder to contain. Hospitals, water treatment plants, and internet infrastructure are among the systems it says could face greater risk if defenses don’t improve quickly enough. The warning carries extra weight because it isn’t coming from one corner of the tech industry. AI developers, cybersecurity firms, and infrastructure companies are all backing…
