Last month, Samsung rolled out the One UI 8.5 update to the Galaxy S25 series, but users quickly noticed that several AI features available on the Galaxy S26 series were missing. The omissions sparked confusion and frustration, with many Galaxy S25 owners questioning what Samsung’s long-term software support actually covers. Now, Samsung seems to be fixing part of the issue with the June 2026 update, which reportedly adds three of the missing Galaxy AI features to the Galaxy S25 series. The update has started rolling out in South Korea and includes the June 2026 Android security patch. The firmware has…

A familiar routine often involves decluttering your space, refreshing your habits, and aiming to carry a little less every single day. Most people strive for a lighter setup, yet one item remains a stubborn staple — the power bank. I’ve definitely been there, but it’s not a straightforward pick. They are either too bulky or too inconvenient to carry around, but if I ditch them, I am left with nothing but regret when my battery shows red. For a device meant to provide utter convenience, traditional portable chargers have a knack for creating more friction than they solve. You are…

Every time Apple released a new iOS update, people swore their iPhones suddenly felt slower. This rumor has followed Apple for years and while the company always denied it, the suspicion never really went away. With its latest iOS 27 update, I believe Apple has finally put this rumor to rest.  I installed the beta on my iPhone Air, but the bigger story is what’s happening on the older models. Reports from people running iOS 27 on even older iPhones say their phones feel faster, not slower. That’s the opposite of what the planned obsolescence crowd has been claiming all…

Apple’s big glassy software future now comes with a way to make it less glassy. In iOS 27, users can adjust the translucency of the Liquid Glass effect, while macOS Golden Gate adds its own Liquid Glass controls under System Settings. Liquid Glass is still alive across Apple’s platforms, still shimmering through menus and panels, still doing the elegant UI trick Apple clearly likes. The big visual bet has already earned a dimmer switch. After a year of treating translucency like the obvious next step, WWDC’s most revealing design update may be the one that lets people dial it back.…

If you have ever typed two letters into the Windows 11 search box, paused, and watched nothing useful happen until you added more characters, you already know exactly why this Windows 11 update matters.  Microsoft’s June 2026 Patch Tuesday update, part of a release Windows Latest calls the biggest of the year (via Windows Latest), quietly fixes that. Windows Search can now find and prioritize files with as few as two characters, down from the old three-character minimum. So what exactly changed in Windows Search? Before this update, typing two letters from the file name didn’t do anything useful. You…

Every transparent OLED demo I’ve seen so far looks amazing for about ten seconds, right before I notice how dim or smudgy it actually looks. A big part of the problem is the role that electrodes play in the design.  A transparent display requires a see-through electrode that sits on top of incredibly delicate organic light-emitting layers. However, most of the usual options either conduct electricity poorly or risk damaging those layers during manufacturing.  So how exactly does this new electrode get made? A team at Seoul National University, led by professor Yongtaek Hong, just found a way around that,…

Brazil has more World Cup titles than anyone, five of them to be precise, but after going through five straight tournaments without adding to that count, the team is leaning hard on data this time.  Every player wears a sensor-packed “smart vest” tracking field position (via GPS), heart rate, and a stat called “player load,” the same kind of numbers that your Whoop band or Apple Watch brags about, but tuned specifically for the sport. So what exactly do these smart vests track? The vests sit under the jersey, and Brazil uses them for its men’s, women’s, and youth teams.…

For years, the idea of Tesla and SpaceX becoming a single company has lived somewhere between ambitious business theory and Elon Musk fan fiction. The two companies already share DNA, leadership influence, engineering talent, and long-term goals. But every time the topic surfaced, it felt more like an interesting thought experiment than a realistic possibility. Now, one of the most important people at SpaceX has added fresh fuel to the conversation. Speaking in a recent CNBC interview, SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell was asked about the possibility of closer ties between Tesla and SpaceX. Her response wasn’t a flat-out…

Meta’s aggressive push into artificial intelligence is facing growing resistance from an unexpected group: its own employees. According to a recent report from WIRED, frustration inside Meta has reached a boiling point following a series of AI-related restructuring efforts, layoffs, and workplace policies. The tensions became public this week when an employee interrupted a company-wide livestream with an expletive-filled rant directed at Meta’s AI leadership, shocking thousands of colleagues watching the presentation. The incident may sound like an isolated outburst, but employees say it reflects a much broader problem inside the company. Over the past several months, Meta has reorganized…

When shopping for a new laptop, most buyers compare specifications like performance, battery life, display quality, and price. But a new AI-powered initiative could soon add another metric to that list: carbon footprint. Researchers are developing AI agents capable of calculating and displaying the environmental impact of consumer electronics in real time, potentially giving shoppers instant access to sustainability information before making a purchase. The effort aims to bring the kind of emissions transparency already available in services like flight booking platforms to the world of consumer technology. Today, consumers can easily compare the carbon emissions of different flights through…
