Samsung’s wearable design division seems to have decided that subtlety is overrated and that functionality is what they’ll focus on for the next iteration of their flagship earbuds. But in doing so, the Galaxy Buds 4 and the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro might look awfully similar to their biggest competitors: Apple’s AirPods. Fresh renders of Samsung’s upcoming TWS earbuds (via Android Headlines) are giving AirPods users a brief moment of déjà vu. Both the Galaxy Buds 4 (black) and Buds 4 Pro (white) have a very familiar design. A new yet familiar design language I’m talking about a long stem…

Cars with pop-out door handles have gone from futuristic novelty to near-default design over the past few years, especially as EV makers chased Tesla’s clean, minimalist look. They may look slick, but in the real world, they have caused plenty of frustration. From frozen handles in winter to doors that refuse to open when the battery dies, there have been multiple reports of drivers getting locked out and, more worryingly, passengers trapped inside after crashes. Now, Chinese regulators are stepping in to put an end to this trend. China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has announced new vehicle safety…

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 series was heavily rumored to feature native Qi2 wireless charging (with an in-built magnetic profile). However, a fresh leak from the Dutch publication Nieuwemobiel refutes the early claims. The outlet has published several pictures of first-party accessories that Samsung might introduce alongside the Galaxy S26 series. The leak challenges earlier Qi2 rumors While these include the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s dual-tone S-Pen and the anti-reflective screen protectors, it also includes transparent and silicone cases with a circular magnetic ring on the back. The images show the different models of the Galaxy S26 lineup, including the Ultra, with magnetic…

SpaceX has acquired xAI, merging two of Elon Musk’s biggest bets as AI infrastructure demand keeps climbing. Musk is framing the move around a specific target, AI data centers in space. His argument is that today’s AI progress depends on massive Earth-based data centers that consume huge power and require intense cooling. He says shifting more compute to orbit solves those constraints with abundant solar energy and room to scale. SpaceX is already pushing the concept into the regulatory process. It sought permission from the Federal Communication Commission to launch a constellation of 1 million satellites, describing a network of…

AMD Radeon gaming graphics cards are set to see another price hike soon, according to a recent report. After a price increase in January, AMD’s board partners are reportedly planning another round of hikes that may roll out between February and March 2026. The latest increase is said to be driven largely by the rising cost of memory prices and supply chain crunch. Graphics cards rely heavily on DRAM and VRAM, and rising costs for these components are reportedly putting strain on GPU manufacturers and their partners. As a result, some of those rising costs are expected to be passed…

NASA’s first crewed lunar mission in more than 50 years won’t be getting underway this month after all. It had been targeting February 6 for the launch of the much-anticipated Artemis II mission that will take four astronauts on a flight around the moon, but after issues surfaced during a critical preflight test on Tuesday, NASA decided that it won’t launch the SLS rocket until March at the earliest. During the so-called “wet dress rehearsal” in which engineers fuel the rocket and go through the entire launch procedure without actually igniting the engines, a hydrogen leak was detected at the…

A power supply is the least exciting part of a PC build, which is exactly why people underbuy it. Then they add a more power-hungry GPU later and wonder why things get weird. The Corsair RM850e is down to $99.99, a 31% discount from $144.99, and this is the kind of deal that makes it easy to do the sensible thing: buy a modern, properly specced PSU once and stop thinking about it. What you’re getting This is a fully modular 850W power supply built for modern builds, with ATX 3.1 support and PCIe 5.1 readiness. It includes a 12V-2×6…

Porsche’s commitment to 718 EVs hit potholes when the automaker announced plans to integrate its top models with internal combustion engines. Now, whispers from Stuttgart suggest that the company might axe the 718 Boxster and Cayman EV models; they might never hit showrooms after all. The all-electric 718 twins were initially supposed to hit roads in 2025, positioned as the next big thing in the company’s lineup. However, a new Bloomberg report suggests that Porsche’s new CEO, Michael Leiters, who took office on January 1, 2026, is considering scrapping the 718 line. A promising EV future hits a speed bump…

In the ’90s and ’00s, vehicular combat games were commonplace. Franchises like Twisted Metal, Burnout, and Carmageddon were instrumental in establishing the brand of high-octane, aggressive driving that is much rarer in 2026. Though Twisted Metal and Burnout have been dormant for years, Carmageddon: Rogue Shift introduces a roguelite right turn to the genre, proving that while the vehicular combat genre often feels like a relic from a bygone era, it still has some gas left in the tank.Rogue Shift is a post-apocalyptic, single-player racing game that takes the age-old formula of competing in crash-filled events and applies the roguelite…

Apple has quietly turned Xcode, its venerable app-building machine, into an AI-driven software that can now harness agentic coding. Last year, the Cupertino giant added basic AI-based features, such as code completion and suggestions to Xcode 26, but the new update changes everything. Xcode 26.3 includes powerful AI agents such as Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s Codex, both of which can analyze your current project, update settings, search for relevant information, run tests, and interact with previews, all via text-based commands. Apple’s Xcode now has direct integration with the Claude Agent SDK, giving developers the full functionality of Claude Code for…
