Even as Windows laptops turned touchscreen as a part of the premium laptop checklist generations ago, Apple has resisted the touchscreen MacBook for years. However, things might be changing soon. After years of rumors and reports of Apple finally adopting touch input on its PCs, the latest macOS 27 Golden Gate might be the one to finally bring this highly requested feature to reality. The first beta of the new macOS just dropped, and people are already trying cool new things in it. One of these include a new touchscreen behavior when a Mac is connected wirelessly to an iPad…

Pokémon Pokopia launched earlier this year on March 5, exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2, and now, we know when the game’s Expansion Pass content begins. During today’s Nintendo Direct, we learned that the new Bubbly Basin town will be added to the game this August, and that same month, all players will get the underwater Dive ability in a free software update. Bubbly Basin kickstarts the Expansion Pass content, which will expand with “additional features” in late 2026 and a brand new town in 2027. As the name Bubbly Basin might imply, the new biome is completely underwater – you’ll need…

Your next phone or EV could run on a recycled battery that performs nearly as well as a new one. Cornell University researchers have developed a new recycling technique that restores spent lithium-ion cells to up to 95% of their original capacity, while cutting recycling costs by 56%. A bath instead of a shredder Current battery recycling techniques are largely destructive. Spent cells are either smelted at extreme temperatures or crushed into a powder and processed with harsh acids to extract usable materials. The recovered components then have to be rebuilt from scratch before they can go into a new…

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, the next game in Nintendo’s tactical RPG series, was revealed last September, but we haven’t seen any official updates until today. A brand new trailer during Nintendo’s big summer Direct showed off more units, detailed the game’s structure, and a release date. Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave will launch September 17 on Switch 2. This new trailer gives us a refresher on the game’s world. It follows a series of warriors as they compete in the Heroic Games, a combat tournament held in a Roman-inspired coliseum, though it seems each competitor has unique motivations to win. Cai (who…

Safari has never been the browser people pick for a massive add-on library. Chrome has long been the obvious choice for that, while Apple’s browser has leaned harder on speed, battery life, privacy, and tight integration across its own devices. Now Apple is trying a different fix. Announced at Apple WWDC, Safari will let users describe the extension they want and have Apple Intelligence create it. That turns Safari AI extensions into personal web tweaks instead of another thing to search for, install, and hope someone maintains. The custom extension builder arrives alongside smarter tab grouping, page monitoring through Notify…

I have always treated desk lighting like an afterthought. Up until recently, I was completely unaware of how big a difference a proper lighting setup makes. If the room was too dark, I turned on a lamp. Working in a dimly lit room? Just turn down the brightness. And after my eyes got tired after hours of writing, gaming, or editing, the easy blame went to the screen I was staring at. Then I visited BenQ’s lighting lab in Taiwan (during Computex 2026) and my entire desk setup started looking suspiciously lazy. The funny thing is that monitor light bars…

Nintendo has revealed Xenoblade Genesis, a brand new game in the Xenoblade Chronicles series. Announced during today’s Nintendo Direct, Genesis is described as a “new beginning” for the series and will launch exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 sometime in 2027. In the trailer, we learned that the elements of Genesis’ world give shape to a special power known as Anima, and that when battles were waged, they were decided by Anima and the Vesselai, powerful warriors who can wield it. The trailer also reveals that Anima Crystone not only amplifies Vesselai’s powers but also records their lives within it. The Crystone…

A humanoid robot named Pemba has reached the summit of Ecuador’s Chimborazo volcano, a 20,341-foot peak that gives the whole robots-are-coming line a much colder backdrop. The climb is impressive, but the fine print is doing some heavy lifting too. Pemba, a modified Unitree G1, completed the 16-hour summit push with help from the team behind it. The robot walked on its own during easier sections, while people carried it through steeper, more technical terrain. That makes the achievement less like a robot conquest of the Andes and more like a serious field test with a dramatic finish. Pemba still…
