Google on Thursday rolled out fresh Chrome 152 security updates that resolve 12 vulnerabilities, including an exploited zero-day. Tracked as CVE-2026-85046, the high-severity bug is described as a type confusion issue in Chrome’s V8 JavaScript and WebAssembly engine.

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. We go through the actual numbers on a whiteboard and show why we think he’s missing several layers. FSD subscription revenue today, the Hardware 4 legacy fleet (6M+ vehicles), Cybercab unit economics, and where robotaxi money really comes from vs. where people assume it comes from.

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. Tracked as CVE-2026-59347 (CVSS score of 8.1), the second flaw is a stack-based buffer overflow that could lead to similar outcomes, albeit the exploitation conditions are different. “A malicious actor with…

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…

Before we get into the iPhone launch in the coming days, we’ve got IFA. This is the start of a few huge months of tech launches, and the Berlin-based show is the launchpad for numerous high-profile releases. IFA has changed a lot over the past few years. What was once a show focussed a lot of smart home tech has evolved into something much more general. This year there have been big and very varied launches from brands like Anker, Xiaomi, Dreame and many more. Our product experts have been running around the huge show floor, attending multiple product briefings…

Google hasn’t necessarily been treating Nest and Chromecast users that well lately. It ended support for first- and second-generation Nest Thermostats in 2025, effectively turning them into “dumb” models. As for Chromecasts, those are no longer sold at all — they were dropped in favor of the Google TV Streamer. While technically superior, the Streamer lacks the portability of its predecessors, which made them fantastic for travel. As if that weren’t enough, Google has repeatedly broken support for some older Chromecasts, meaning the ones prior to the last generation. As of early September 2026, everything should be back to normal…
