Vodafone has today announced SuperMobile, a “completely new category of mobile connectivity” that will meet the demands of generative AI products like the Meta Glasses.SuperMobile will supposedly deliver up to 4x faster speeds than Vodafone’s standard plans, and guarantee minimum speeds of 15Mbps at all times; if your connection ever drops below 15Mbps, you’ll be able to walk away from your SuperMobile plan without paying an early termination fee.“In a world of streaming on the go, and in a new world of generative AI that requires reliable low latency, SuperMobile is the plan that delivers superior performance,” Rob Winterschladen, Vodafone’s…

AI Agents can be incredibly useful, but their autonomous actions can be incredibly dangerous if not adequately controlled. Max Brin is developing a product he describes as an ‘AV for AI’. The analogy with antivirus can be a little confusing since this product is nothing like a traditional antivirus – but the designation is at least well-known, and the purpose of protecting networks from software mishaps is well understood by security practitioners. The name of the product is OpenLeash, which is more informative: the product keeps a controlling leash on unexpected and unwelcome actions that can be caused by AI…

Community college students across the U.S. now have another opportunity to discover how their education can lead to fulfilling roles at the forefront of aerospace, science, engineering, and technology. The updated NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars (NCAS) student challenge invites students to learn about the agency and its missions, engage with NASA experts, and explore aerospace jobs while competing for monetary awards. The applications period is currently open. The deadline to register is Monday, Sept. 28. “What makes this opportunity unique is that it’s one of few that is specifically for community college students,” said Alicia Baturoni Cortez, project manager…

Apple’s MacBook Neo has given inexpensive Windows laptops a new benchmark to chase, and Dell is now putting forward the Dell 14S as one of its answers. Announced at IFA 2026, the new 14-inch laptop is aimed at students and young adults, with an aluminum chassis, multiple color options, and a claimed battery life of up to 21 hours. Dell itself describes the 14S as a more affordable student and everyday-use alternative to the MacBook Neo. One important detail is still missing, as Dell has not announced a price yet. The laptop will arrive in North America this fall, with…

Upgrading PCs is funny business, and if you’re not careful, you might end up with too many parts. That is exactly what happened to me after I built my new AM4 PC: I was left with essentially an entirely new PC from the spares —minus the CPU. The parts were (unfortunately) not worth much, so I decided to do the next best thing: attempt to build my very own home server. The whole process was surprisingly rewarding, and manages to sip power. More importantly, it uses standard x86 consumer PC parts, and still leaves room for further easy upgrades. Related…

We’ve heard plenty about the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max in recent weeks. The flagship is said to launch in China this month with a triple 200MP rear camera setup. Ahead of any official announcement, leaked renders of the phone have now surfaced. The leaked renders, shared by tipster Fixed Focus Digital, show a redesigned rear camera module that now stretches across the width of the device. It’s somewhat similar to the iPhone 17 Pro’s camera plateau. However, the Find X10 Pro Max features a second square module positioned within the larger rectangular camera island. The inner module houses three…

Rockwell Automation on Tuesday informed customers that patches or workarounds are available for more than a dozen vulnerabilities discovered across its industrial automation products. Only one of the new advisories describes critical vulnerabilities. It covers four critical and high-severity denial-of-service (DoS) issues affecting the RSLinx Classic communications software. Exploitation can cause the RSLinx Classic service to crash, requiring a restart for recovery. Rockwell’s advisory for CVE-2026-9637, a high-severity DoS flaw in ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers, flags the vulnerability as exploited. However, it’s likely an error, as it’s only listed as such in the document’s header; elsewhere it’s listed as not…

For 30 years, the world wide web has run on a surprisingly profound social contract. Most sites are free for search engines to access, but if you use their content, you give credit by linking to the source.Recently, that social contract has begun to collapse. Artificial intelligence tools are crawling sites not to link to them, but to train models and generate answers (which may or may not be accurate).When you search for something, ChatGPT’s response or Google’s AI Overviews may still include links to sources, but they’re a kind of optional extra to the main answer.This has triggered a…

Samsung may be changing course at the 11th hour – development of the Galaxy S27 Ultra is nearly complete, but now insiders are saying that the company will dual-source chipsets for the new flagship. The original plan was for the S27 Ultra to use the top Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip in all markets. However, following encouraging internal benchmarks, the Exynos 2700 has become a viable option for the 2027 flagship. The insiders quoted by Korean publication MoneyToday claim that Samsung MX and LSI have coordinated to develop an Exynos-based motherboard for the S27 Ultra and to ensure a…

Aamir Siddiqui / Android AuthorityTL;DR Multiple users are reporting that their Samsung accounts are being randomly deactivated, supposedly for security reasons. Some have been able to recover their accounts by speaking to the company’s support team. The issue could stem from the use of aliases in email addresses, though the company hasn’t confirmed this. While not mandatory, a Samsung account on your Galaxy smartphone or tablet helps synchronize your data across multiple apps and devices and enables additional cross-device experiences. It’s one of those aspects that you won’t truly miss until it’s gone. Some users are now finding this out…
