AMD today announced the Ryzen 7 9850X3D at CES 2026. This is a higher binned version of the company’s popular 9800X3D gaming CPU, and can hit higher clock speeds. This part has been rumored heavily in the past several weeks, and appeared in several leaks, including ones from Dell and AMD itself. The Ryzen 7 9850X3D features the same 8-core, 16-threads design as the 9800X3D, as well as the same 96MB L3 cache that makes these chips especially suited for gaming workloads. Thanks to the higher level of binning, the 9850X3D can now hit 5.6GHz clock speeds, up from the…

A portable power bank is one of those mobile accessories everyone should have in their backpack. From professionals to travelers and students, they provide a boost of power on the go for your smartphone, tablet, wireless earbuds and headphones, even laptops with more powerful models. There are so many options available, but the best one, in my opinion, should have a specific set of features. I always, for example, look for a portable power bank that has at least one built-in cable so I don’t have to remember to bring one with me. Lately, wireless charging capability is useful, so…

In southwestern Angola, an expanse of coastal plains comes to an abrupt end at a natural barrier. The Huíla plateau soars above the lowlands to elevations of around 2,300 meters (7,500 feet). The sharp transition results in dramatic landscapes and a sudden change from an arid environment to more-temperate climes.   The serrated edge of the Huíla plateau zigzags through this image, which is a mosaic of scenes acquired on June 19 and 20, 2025, with the OLI-2 (Operational Land Imager-2) and OLI on the Landsat 9 and Landsat 8 satellites, respectively. Areas around the plateau’s edges appear green with vegetation. But the landscape…

Nuclear energy has had a tough few decades, bedeviled by high costs and waning public support. But AI’s appetite for electricity could be a shot in the arm for the beleaguered industry.AI’s energy demands are rising quickly, with global data center electricity use expected to double by the end of the decade. And nuclear power’s ability to provide large amounts of emission-free baseload power is hugely attractive for AI firms trying to balance their energy needs against climate commitments.Google, Amazon, Meta, and major data center operators are signing power-purchase agreements with existing reactors, investing in the development of advanced small-modular…

Clicks is tapping into nostalgia and frustration with the launch of the Clicks Communicator, a phone designed less for endless scrolling and more for focused communication.  With a physical keyboard, compact display, and deliberate feature set, it feels like a modern answer to the BlackBerry philosophy, updated for 2026.

The touch-sensitive physical keyboard offers tactile feedback while also allowing users to scroll through messages and webpages without leaving the keys. A built-in fingerprint sensor is hidden in the spacebar, letting users unlock the phone and jump straight into the message…

I spend a lot of time with my folks, and even when we aren’t together, we’re typically always on the phone for one reason or another. Connecting with my mom is easy — she throws her AirPods in, and we’re able to talk with little to no issues. My Dad, on the other hand, is a bit more difficult to connect with. Even with a rather loud Motorola Razr, he still has to throw me on speakerphone, no matter where he is. After seeing someone wearing a pair of bone conduction headphones during a video call, I had an idea…
