IFA is always packed with new technology fighting for your attention, but cutting through the noise takes true industry leadership. If you are a European tech enthusiast or homeowner looking ahead to what is next, EZVIZ is gearing up to make a major impact in Berlin this September with a lineup designed to completely transform what your smart home can do. With over a decade of continuous development in Europe, EZVIZ has built a strong foothold in smart cameras and is now thoughtfully expanding into smart entry. That experience really matters because homes across the continent are far from one-size-fits-all.…

Rebel Wolves, developers of The Blood of Dawnwalker, put out a trailer last week showing off console gameplay of their upcoming action role-playing adventure, but the new footage ended up backfiring. The video revealed that PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game would not be able to run at 60 frames per second, instead targeting 40, which frustrated many, as 60 frames is considered the standard for action games like this. Today, developer Rebel Wolves issued a new announcement: The Blood of Dawnwalker will run at 60 fps after all, thanks to a day one patch coming to…

We have all seen the warning that AI can make mistakes. For a chatbot, that usually means inventing a fact, misunderstanding a question, or confidently giving you the wrong answer. Put the same technology inside a weapon, and those mistakes can end very differently. A New York Times investigation has detailed a July 6 Russian drone attack in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, that killed three civilians, including a 19-year-old university student. Human operators programmed the drone to travel toward a gas station, but an autonomous AI system selected the exact object it would attack, most likely propane tanks. The drone failed to…

For decades, tech has been obsessed with making communication faster. Now, apparently, we’ve had enough. As The New York Times reports, the latest trend is slow tech, with apps like Carrier Pidge and Roost deliberately making messages take minutes, hours or even longer to arrive. Yes, we’re talking about digital carrier pigeons. Carrier Pidge launched in April and recently jumped from a few hundred users to more than 75,000, while Roost reportedly reached 650,000 downloads this month. Apparently, waiting is cool again Carrier Pidge lets you send a message via a digital pigeon whose journey you can track on a…

If Android Pulse showed up in your Play Store updates this weekend and looked a bit suspicious, you’re not alone. Your phone hasn’t been hacked either.  It’s an app from Google that watches for misbehaving or suspicious apps or software on your Android phone. Even more surprising, the app has been sitting on millions of smartphones since March 2026.  So what exactly is Android Pulse? Google’s own explanation, mentioned in the app’s Play Store listing (via 9To5Google), says the system app helps with rule distribution and anomaly detection in system resource consumption by Android (the operating system) and the apps…

The mobile chip race was already crowded. Qualcomm has Snapdragon, Apple has its A-series silicon, MediaTek’s Dimensity chips have become genuine high-end contenders, and Samsung is making another serious push with Exynos. Despite Google’s best efforts, Tensor never really caught up to these chips in raw performance. However, there’s another chip demanding a seat at the table. Xiaomi has officially unveiled the XRing O3, its second-generation flagship smartphone processor, and the numbers being claimed are difficult to ignore. The 3nm chip scored 5,228,014 in AnTuTu V11, while Xiaomi is calling it the fastest smartphone SoC currently available. Independent testing still…

Google’s Pixel 11 series has plenty of clever tricks. But apparently, rendering a popular mobile game is not one of them. Owners of the new Pixel 11 lineup are reporting severe graphical problems that make HoYoverse’s Genshin Impact effectively unplayable. Wired reported on the problem while testing the Pixel 11 Pro, describing a purple screen that prevented normal gameplay, and additional users have reported the issue to Google. For a flagship family starting at $899, this is a pretty bad look–especially when you look at how Google talked about the Tensor G6 being more powerful. Is PowerVR causing headaches again?…

ASUS Zenbook A14 (UX3407NA) MSRP $1,349.00 “Weighs almost nothing, lasts all day, and finally makes Windows on Arm easy to forget.” Pros Impressively light Ceraluminum construction Top-tier battery life Snapdragon X2 Elite brings some serious performance upgrades OLED display still looks excellent Decent port selection Cons 1200p display with 60Hz is a letdown 16GB of soldered RAM SSD performance trails recent rivals Both USB-C ports are on the same side Quick take Picking up the ASUS Zenbook A14 for the first time messed with my perception of how much a 14-inch laptop should weigh.

Samsung may be preparing to make its boldest Exynos claim in years. A new report shared by industry analyst Ice Universe, citing Korean media, suggests that Samsung is highly confident its next-generation Exynos 2700 chipset can outperform Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, including its higher-end Pro variant. The reported figures are ambitious enough to raise eyebrows. If they hold up in production hardware, the Galaxy S27 could mark a major turnaround for Samsung’s in-house processor business. For now, however, the numbers remain early estimates rather than independently verified benchmark results. Samsung’s next Exynos could finally challenge Qualcomm According…

Apple added desktop widgets to Mac with macOS Sonoma back in 2023. I remember dragging a few onto my desktop on day one and moving them right off a few minutes later. The native widgets never fit into how I use my Mac. The look felt off, and honestly, there just weren’t enough of them to bother with. Ever since, I have been searching for something that does for Mac what the widget apps like Widgetsmith did for iPhone. I wanted more options, and more importantly, I wanted widgets that actually looked like they belonged on a Mac desktop instead…
