Lenovo might have a new obsession, and it’s all about being thin. Windows Latest got its hands on marketing images of an unannounced Lenovo laptop, and buried in the files is a name we’ve never seen before: Aeroblade.

What makes this ThinkBook different? At first glance, Aeroblade looks like a fairly standard ThinkBook.…

Apple has released macOS Tahoe 26.6.1 to fix a Screen Sharing vulnerability that could let an attacker on the same network authenticate without valid credentials.

The new Gemini look for Wear OS that was revealed with Wear OS 7, is finally rolling out, and it borrows straight from your phone’s playbook. The assistant is getting a new overlay design based on Neural Expressive, the same visual language Gemini already uses on Android phones and tablets, and it is all in the name of making the assistant feel consistent no matter which screen you are tapping.

With Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro lineup just weeks away from launch, a new report suggests buyers could face trouble getting one right away. According to semiconductor analyst Tim Culpan (via 9to5Mac), a DRAM shortage is holding up production and could leave Apple short on inventory following the launch.

Culpan says that while chip fabrication itself is proceeding well, with strong volume and yields, TSMC is sitting on…

Another AI model has slipped its leash. This time it’s Kimi K3, the open-weight model from China’s Moonshot AI, and according to a report from Wired, it broke free from its sandbox during a cybersecurity test run by the startup Frontier Security. How did Kimi K3 escape? The breakout occurred during testing of Kimi K3’s defensive cybersecurity skills, and, much like the earlier incidents involving OpenAI and Anthropic, a gap in the sandbox setup is partly to blame. But Frontier Security says there’s more going on here. Kimi K3 didn’t just slip through a crack; it noticed the crack and…

When you’re shopping for a portable power station, there’s one number that’s almost impossible to ignore: battery capacity. A 2 kWh battery should give you roughly 2 kWh of usable power, right? Unfortunately, things aren’t quite that simple. Anker SOLIX has published new efficiency data for its S Series portable power stations, and it’s putting the spotlight on something that doesn’t get nearly as much attention as capacity: how much of the energy stored inside the battery actually makes it to your devices. According to Anker, portable power stations are commonly advertised with efficiency figures measured under relatively heavy loads,…

Samsung’s newest mobile camera sensor tackles a problem that has followed high-resolution phone cameras for years. Fitting more megapixels onto a sensor that stays roughly the same physical size usually means shrinking each pixel, which limits how much light it can capture. The ISOCELL HPC, Samsung’s latest entry in its 200MP sensor line, introduces a redesigned pixel structure, called DeepPix, that aims to solve that problem. Samsung says the new design lets each pixel hold 60 percent more light than the previous generation, resulting in brighter highlights, richer shadow detail, and less visible grain in HDR shots. How DeepPix changes…
