The fans have spoken – the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE isn’t it. It could be, but the results from last week’s poll make it very clear that the S26 FE train isn’t leaving the station without a tangible price drop. As things stand right now, people are gravitating towards other Galaxy models – the Galaxy S25 FE and S26+ in particular offer similar specs at better value-for-money – or they are exploring alternatives outside of Samsung. People in the comments remembered the Galaxy S20 FE with nostalgia – now that was a good FE model. So good, in fact, that…

Chris Camillo — the investor who’s turned a small stake into as much as $100M — says Tesla’s robotaxi and Cybercab story is already priced into the stock.

Sony Bravia 5: Two-minute review The Sony Bravia 5 is a mini-LED TV with crisp images, strong contrast and great gaming features. It occupies that level in Sony’s TV range where the brand has historically struggled to maintain its high standards. The Bravia 5, though, bucks this trend in pretty spectacular fashion.The Sony Bravia 5 retains both mini-LED lighting and local dimming, for starters, as well as an 120Hz…

When Spotify’s January price hike landed, I barely blinked. Individual Premium going up to $12.99? Fine. Then Netflix followed in March, pushing its Standard plan to $19.99 and once again raising the question of whether Netflix is still worth paying for as its price climbs. Again, I shrugged. Looking back from September, those increases feel less like isolated annual adjustments and more like warning shots for a year where subscriptions across tech got noticeably more expensive. And while we were busy complaining about paying more to watch Stranger Things, some of the sharper increases were turning up in the boring…

Hadlee Simons / Android AuthorityAdd Android Authority on Google: Google launched the Pixel 11 series a little under a month ago, and there’s a lot to like here. All four phones offer more capable silicon, nifty AI tricks, some cool camera features, and a lengthy software update policy.Unfortunately, the standard Pixel 11 lacks many camera features compared to the Pixel 11 Pro series. And a brand new $500 Android phone from a rival manufacturer drives home just how absurd Google’s practice around this continues to be. Do you use full-resolution mode or manual mode on your phone?9 votesYes, I use…

Broadcom on Thursday announced patches for two critical and high-severity vulnerabilities in VMware Workstation and Fusion. The first issue, tracked as CVE-2026-59346 (CVSS score of 9.3), is described as an integer overflow bug leading to arbitrary code execution. “A malicious actor with local administrative privileges on a virtual machine with VMXNET3 virtual network adapter may exploit this issue to execute code on the host,” Broadcom notes in its advisory.

Explanation: Chasing the shadow of a New Moon, NASA’s WB-57F high altitude research aircraft took to the skies off the coast of Iceland on August 12 to observe a total solar eclipse. At 50,000 feet the aircraft was piloted along the precisely determined path of totality to maximize its time in the Moon’s shadow. A suite of high-resolution cameras on board was able to record eclipse data from above the clouds, dust, and atmospheric water vapor that interfere with observations made closer to the ground. This view from the cockpit, taken from an inflight video, captures the solar corona emerging…
