If you’re suffering from a bit of déjà vu, you’re not mistaken — technically, Dolby first announced Vision 2 in September 2025. But details about the HDR standard were vague at the time, and in fact I had to talk with someone at the company to clear up some misconceptions. There was even less known about which TVs would be compatible, at least publicly. At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, though, Dolby finally took the wraps off its technology, and gave us a roadmap for when we can expect it in our homes. The good news is that you may…
US secretary of state Marco Rubio is expected to prepare a proposal to buy Greenland for $700 billion, NBC reports. January 14, 2026 Meeting, Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen and Greenland’s Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt at the White House. No deal was reached, with Denmark and Greenland reiterating that Greenland is not for sale. However, they agreed to establish a high-level working group for technical talks to address US security concerns (e.g., military presence) while respecting Denmark’s “red lines.” The group is expected to meet first in…
Introduction Oppo’s Reno15 series is an exciting new lineup of premium smartphones consisting of both large and compact devices. Today we will explore the Oppo Reno15 Pro, also known as Reno15 Pro Mini in some markets. The Reno15 models have gone global, but there might be some confusion about their names. The international version of the Oppo Reno15 Pro is known as Oppo Reno15 Pro Mini in India and possibly the whole of Southeast Asia. That’s the reason we are going to call it Reno15 Pro (mini) from now on. Specs-wise, there is no difference between the two devices. Oppo…
A new Game of Thrones prequel series called A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms debuts just around the corner. The show is lighter in tone than either Game of Thrones or the spinoff House of the Dragon, which are both big sprawling affairs with dozens of characters and sweeping conflicts. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is mostly about one guy trying to win a tournament, and that change of pace might be just what the franchise needs. But just because this show has fewer characters than fans are used to doesn’t mean you might not need some help. There’s…
When Disney looks to expand its Star Wars offering beyond film and television, it does so carefully, with new ideas designed to both serve the overarching story while, importantly, feeling like natural additions to a franchise that spans generations of fans, as well as light years.Over the years, that approach has resulted in screen-accurate lightsabers, annual collaborations with Columbia Sportswear, and an ever-expanding lineup of toys and collectibles. Disney’s latest collaboration with Lego, however, takes a different approach.Lego’s new Smart Play system introduces sound and responsiveness directly into physical sets – without relying on apps, screens, or cloud connectivity –…
By Supreet Kaur In an era where data security is critical to aviation safety, NASA is exploring bold new solutions. Through a drone flight test at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley, researchers tested a blockchain-based system for protecting flight data. The system aims to keep air traffic management safe from disruption and protect data transferred between aircraft and ground stations from being intercepted or manipulated. For aviation and airspace operations to remain safe, users need to be able to trust that data is reliable and transparent. While current systems have been able to protect flight data systems, cyberthreats continue to…

As Samsung is gearing up to announce the new Samsung Galaxy S26 series, some are still wondering whether the Galaxy S26 Edge will replace the Galaxy S26 Plus, and the Pro will take the vanilla S26’s place. Earlier rumors said “no” to both questions, and the latest leak, if we can call it that, corroborates those early findings. According to a PDF document about promotions, published by Samsung Colombia, the Galaxy S26 series, which will debut at this year’s Galaxy S26 Unpacked event, will be the Galaxy S26, S26+ and the S26 Ultra with no Pro or Edge in sight.…
Alfred Wahlforss was running out of options. His startup, Listen Labs, needed to hire over 100 engineers, but competing against Mark Zuckerberg's $100 million offers seemed impossible. So he spent $5,000 — a fifth of his marketing budget — on a billboard in San Francisco displaying what looked like gibberish: five strings of random numbers.The numbers were actually AI tokens. Decoded, they led to a coding challenge: build an algorithm to act as a digital bouncer at Berghain, the Berlin nightclub famous for rejecting nearly everyone at the door. Within days, thousands attempted the puzzle. 430 cracked it. Some got…
Mandel Ngan / AFP via Getty Images Much ink has been spilled over US health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s dalliances with anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, brain worms, nicotine pouches, and bizarre self-treatment with a synthetic dye known as methylene blue. In spite of all those wellness eccentricities of his own, Kennedy is apparently in awe of his boss Donald Trump, who he says spends his days “pumping himself full of poison.” In a recent appearance on the Katie Miller Podcast — hosted by the wife of Stephen Miller, who currently serves as homeland security advisor to the White House —…
