The biggest AI chatbots are supposed to help people find information, not manufacture misinformation. But a new investigation suggests that separating those two jobs isn’t as straightforward as many AI companies would like users to believe. A series of tests found that several leading AI chatbots, including ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Meta AI, could be persuaded to generate fake news stories, fabricated headlines, and even realistic-looking screenshots of well-known media outlets. While every chatbot showed some weaknesses, ChatGPT reportedly performed the worst, producing the most convincing fake content with surprisingly little effort. The findings come from an investigation…

If you’ve ever had to look for any sort of heat leaks or hot wires, chances are that you’ve probably used a dedicated handheld camera. But RISION has just launched a tiny new camera tool to make the job easier (and more pocketable). It reminds me of the InfiRay we checked out a while back. RISION has introduced the Magic and Magic Pro, two compact thermal cameras that plug directly into supported USB-C phones, tablets, and Windows computers. Each module weighs 24 grams, draws power from the connected device, and requires no separate battery. Support covers compatible iPhones, Android devices,…

Samsung has spent generations refining hinges, reinforcing display layers, and promising increasingly subtle creases. But soon, it might eliminate the crease by physically carving away part of the glass where the screen folds. Samsung Display is developing a foldable OLED cover layer known as Center-Etched Thin Glass, or CTG, alongside its suppliers. The technology selectively etches the central folding section of the ultra-thin glass, leaving that area thinner than the rest of the panel. Industry sources believe it could appear in some Galaxy Z9 foldables as early as 2027. It is also known as Hybrid UTG, since a single glass…

Google Health can now turn your stored medical records into a shareable link, letting you skip the tedious intake forms when you switch doctors or visit a specialist for the first time. The feature, called Smart Health Links, is rolling out with Google Health version 5.05 and is available in the US only for now. How Smart Health Links work Google Health has let users upload medical records since the app replaced the Fitbit app in May, giving its AI-powered Health Coach data to reference when answering health questions. Until now, that information stayed locked inside the app, visible only…

Apple and OpenAI’s legal battle has quickly moved beyond carefully worded court statements. OpenAI has just shared the email and message trails behind the dispute, and one exchange leaves Apple’s version of events looking questionable. In a bluntly titled post, “Apple is getting this wrong,” OpenAI challenged Apple’s request for a preliminary injunction and accused the iPhone maker of building parts of its case around false or incomplete information. Apple wants a court to prevent OpenAI and two former Apple employees from accessing, acquiring, using, or disclosing its alleged confidential information. Apple’s paper trail contains a hilarious mix-up Apple previously…

I recently wrote about Apple’s Continuity features and how they play a big role in keeping me trapped inside the Apple ecosystem. One of the smallest but most-used and favorite Continuity features is the Universal Clipboard, which lets me copy and paste text and files between multiple Apple devices.  Now, it seems that feature is finally coming to Windows PCs. As per MacRumors, Apple is reportedly working on letting you copy something on your iPhone and paste it straight into a Windows PC, no third-party app required.  Why is Apple finally doing this? Apple is not doing this out of…

We’ve reached the point where AI-powered smart glasses are no longer just expensive gadgets for early adopters. Now, they’re cheap enough to end up in a shopping cart alongside kitchenware and school supplies. That’s exactly what’s happening in Australia, where Kmart’s new Anko AI Camera Glasses have completely sold out across the country. Priced at just AU$89, the wearable undercuts Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses by a huge margin while offering many of the same features, including photo capture, HD video recording, AI assistance, music playback, and hands-free calling. The rapid sellout suggests there’s real interest in affordable smart glasses. But…

Google appears to be testing a new look for the voice search interface built into the Google homescreen widget found on most Android phones. And the redesigned layout could make Google’s growing pile of AI search tools much easier to access. One mic button, four features Currently, the mic button on Google’s homescreen search widget serves a singular purpose. It lets you run a Google search with your voice. According to 9to5Google, Google is testing a redesigned layout in the latest Google app beta release that adds a swipeable toolbar to the voice search interface, which lets you easily switch…

Samsung’s Galaxy S27 Pro may ship with a far less capable zoom camera than earlier leaks suggested, according to a new report from South Korea’s ETNews. The outlet says the phone’s telephoto camera would use a 12MP sensor and offer 3x optical zoom, not the 50MP 3.5x zoom sensor that multiple prior reports described. A downgrade from earlier leaks Leaks from earlier this year suggested that the Galaxy S27 Pro could feature a new 50MP ALoP telephoto sensor, matching the Ultra’s camera performance in a smaller body. However, ETNews now says that the device could come with a 12MP 3x…

Asus unveiled the ROG Gjallar back in early July 2026, as the first speaker system under the ROG brand. However, at the time, the company stayed quiet on pricing and availability. That’s changed now.  So what’s actually inside the ROG Gjallar? The gaming soundbar just went on sale in China for CNY 3,699, which works out to roughly $548.  Underneath the soundbar’s metallic mesh grille sit four 50mm full-range drivers and two 27mm high-fidelity tweeters. With the angled up-firing channels, the speaker is designed to throw sound vertically so that it bounces off your monitor or the walls behind it. …
