Smartwatches have gotten pretty good at detecting atrial fibrillation, the most common heart rhythm disorder in the world, affecting nearly 38 million people globally. But many people brush off the alert, assuming that if they feel fine, it probably isn’t a big deal. New research presented at EHRA 2026 in Paris suggests that’s a mistake worth reconsidering. The study is a post-hoc analysis of two large Swedish screening programs, STROKESTOP and STROKESTOP II, in which adults aged 75 to 76 were screened for atrial fibrillation using an ECG. Researchers tracked participants for several years to see who went on to…

The MacBook Neo may be Apple’s cheapest laptop, but it is also turning into one of the weirdest fun DIY projects the company has enabled (accidentally) in years. As Macworld points out, Apple has opened up MacBook Neo parts through its Self Service Repair program, and the way the store works seems to leave room for some creative color mixing. The store apparently does not limit replacement part purchases by the original color of your machine. In other words, you can order something like a Citrus bottom case for a silver MacBook Neo, or Indigo keycaps for a blush-colored model.…

Numbers in the gaming monitor world keep getting wilder, and the latest leak about the TCL CSOT is a classic example.  According to Visuntang, a channel information platform (via IT Home’s April 13, 2026 report), the Chinese display manufacturer is working on a gaming monitor capable of switching between 160Hz at a higher resolution and 640Hz at a relatively lower resolution.  Why Is A 4x Refresh Rate Jump Such A Big Deal? That’s a 4x multiplier, and it’s a significant leap. Most dual-mode monitors available in the market limit their low-resolution, high frame rate boost to just 2x the high-resolution…

Roblox is among the internet’s busiest digital playgrounds, but keeping it safe, especially for the youngest users, has been an ongoing challenge.  Well, on April 13, 2026, the platform’s founder and CEO, David Baszucki, announced two new age-based account tiers, which will launch in June.  So, What Exactly Is Changing For Young Players? The platform is launching Roblox Kids for users between the ages of five and eight and Roblox Select for those aged between nine and 15. Both categories are assigned automatically through the platform’s existing facial age-check mechanism, the system made mandatory for accessing the in-built chat feature…

Nvidia and the wider PC gaming industry have spent years chasing hyper-realism as the next big visual flex. But your typical video games might not be the ones to benefit from it the most. According to a new research from Murdoch University, the most interesting benefits of realistic virtual worlds may have less to do with prettier games and more to do with how people feel inside VR (Virtual Reality). How hyper-realism could reshape VR New research suggests that hyper-real virtual reality environments could help trigger positive emotional states such as awe, joy, and calm, opening up possible uses in…

If a website tells you to manually install a “Windows update” from a big blue download button, close that tab immediately. Malwarebytes has just spotted a fake Microsoft support website (microsoft-update.support) that pretends to offer a cumulative update for Windows 24H2 but actually delivers password-stealing malware. The entire page is dressed up to look official, and even uses proper KB-style reference and downloads an 83MB MSI file called Windowsupdate1.0.0.msi that looks quite legit even in the file properties. What the malware actually does The site is currently written in French, which suggests that the scam is currently targeting French-speaking users…

How Apple’s $599 MacBook is ahead of the game According to the report, the MacBook Neo’s appeal is pretty clear.…

Huawei has officially shown off a wide-format foldable phone, and it is hard not to look at it and think about the iPhone Fold rumors all over again. The unreleased foldable iPhone just got an unofficial rival with the Huawei Pura X Max. Huawei has already started teasing it through official materials ahead of its China launch on April 20. Image posters shared by the company show an unusually wide foldable layout that looks closer to a compact tablet when opened than the taller, narrower foldables we have gotten used to. Why the Pura X Max has everyone talking The…

OnePlus’ compact flagship might finally be preparing to leave China. The OnePlus 15T debuted as the brand’s latest premium “small” powerhouse phone, and new rumors hint that its global variant, the OnePlus 15s, could be launching overseas soon. The OnePlus 15s is tipped to launch in India by the end of Q2 2026 or in early Q3, and it is expected to be based on the China-only OnePlus 15T.
