The TV industry is at a crossroads. For a few years, tech was relatively static, split between QLED, OLED, and mini-LED panels, with 4K resolution seemingly on the verge of being replaced by 8K. But now major players are exiting 8K, and new panel formats are slowly leaving the realm of the super-rich to become plausibly affordable to the rest of us. Eventually, some of this tech could kick QLED and OLED out of the market entirely. One of the contenders is something called SQD mini-LED. If you’re not familiar with the term, I’ll fill you in on the details,…
Frame Security emerged from stealth mode on Monday with $50 million in funding raised for its AI-powered cybersecurity awareness and training platform. The investment came from Team8, Index Ventures, Picture Capital, Elad Gil, Cerca Partners, and Tesonet. US- and Israel-based Frame Security was founded by Tal Shlomo, who serves as the company’s CEO, and Sharon Shmueli, who serves as CTO. Shlomo was one of the earliest employees of cloud security giant Wiz, while Shmueli until last year served as the CTO of the global venture group Team8. Frame Security has developed a human risk management platform covering the full security…
As AI demand for computing power surges, companies are searching for new ways to fuel data centers. One startup is now proposing floating data centers powered by ocean waves, and they just raised $140 million to bring the idea to fruition.Tech companies are planning to spend roughly $750 billion on data centers this year. But the elephant in the room is figuring out how to power these facilities. They’re already straining electrical grids across the world, and the pace of the buildout is far surpassing our ability to bring new power online.This energy shortfall is leading tech companies to invest…
Although there’s no denying that the Apple Watch very much led the charge across the smartwatch industry for a good while there, in 2026 Wear OS watches are as good as they’ve ever been, boasting several features that’ll leave even Apple users feeling jealous. If you’re an Android user and are curious to know what the best Wear OS watches are right now, then we’re here to help. One of the key things that really works in Wear OS’s favour right now is that unlike the Apple Watch which, on average, presents you with three choices each generation, you have…
I recently upgraded to the Galaxy S26, and while I love it with all my heart, the thing that constantly bothers me is its relatively smaller, 4300mAh battery. Because of that, I’ve been looking for ways to stretch the battery life as much as possible without, of course, compromising the performance. And that search led me to Samsung’s default performance profile. By default, all Galaxy phones are configured to prioritize performance so everything always feels fast and responsive. And while that makes sense, it’s not exactly ideal for the battery life. Thankfully, One UI includes a more efficient mode hidden…
The Google Fitbit Air is a compelling choice if you want excellent health and fitness tracking features at an affordable price. But what about if I could make it even better? Free, perhaps. Well, that’s exactly what’s possible with this preorder offer at the Google Store, which could get you a Google Fitbit Air for as little as $0 when you trade in your existing wearable.Now, to get the Google Fitbit Air for free, you do need to hand over a relatively modern and powerful wearable. Examples on the Google Store’s trade-in estimator that will cover the $99.99 upfront cost…
Many of the most serious supply chain issues are caused by flaws built into applications during the CI/CD build process. A build application firewall may be the solution. The SolarWinds supply chain attack of 2020, resulting in around 18,000 affected organizations, should have been a learning point. It demonstrated a key style of supply chain attack – but we didn’t learn how to prevent them. The same approach of compromising the development cycle of a widely used tool has been successfully repeated many times since then. In March 2026, North Korean actors hijacked an Axios npm library maintainer’s account and…
Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech The surviving widow of a mass shooting victim is suing OpenAI for ChatGPT’s alleged role in stoking the killer’s deadly rampage — the latest in a string of lawsuits against the Silicon Valley AI firm claiming that its tech has enabled stalking, murder, and mass casualty events. The lawsuit was filed in Florida on Sunday by Vandana Joshi, whose spouse, Tiru Chabba, was shot and killed by then-20-year-old Florida State University (FSU) student Phoenix Ikner, according to NBC News. Alarming chat logs first obtained…
I have explained the benefits of using an e-ink device over physical books. They are easier to handle, can store your entire library for travel, let you buy books at lower prices, and make looking up words or taking notes effortless. Another reason to get an e-ink tablet right now is that the e-reader market has never looked this good. There are now e-ink devices for practically every use case and budget, ranging from a pocket-friendly $69 to $600 and beyond. So, if you have been on the fence about picking one up, this is the article that will finally…
MediaTek is expected to unveil the Dimensity 9600 SoC later this year as its next flagship chip, but the company is also working on the Dimensity 8600 upper-midrange SoC as well. This is important because in recent times, MediaTek’s Dimensity 8 series chips have dominated AnTuTu benchmark ratings for upper-midrange phones – it kind of seems like Qualcomm has decided to just hand over this market to MediaTek. And so, it will be interesting to see where MediaTek takes the 8 series with the next member, the Dimensity 8600. According to a new rumor from China today, this chip will…
