Roku may not stay independent for much longer. According to a Reuters report citing people familiar with the matter, the streaming platform company is exploring strategic alternatives that include a full sale, with at least one U.S. media company already involved in preliminary discussions. Roku is reportedly weighing a sale amid growing industry interest Reuters reports that Roku has held talks with at least one American media company over a possible combination, though no final decision has been made. The company has also explored alternatives such as a private investment in public equity, better known as a PIPE transaction. Roku…

Making chips smaller has dominated the semiconductor conversation for years, but TSMC’s next big leap may come from how those chips are packaged instead. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the company is developing a new Chip-on-Panel-on-Substrate, or CoPoS, technology that promises lower manufacturing costs while delivering better performance for future AI processors. TSMC’s CoPoS packaging could make future AI chips both cheaper and faster In a recent post on X, Ming-Chi Kuo revealed that TSMC is working on CoPoS, an advanced packaging architecture that replaces conventional wafer-based manufacturing with panel-level processing. The shift to rectangular panels allows for better material…

Apple has spent the last few years expanding what Wallet can hold, from driver’s licenses now live in as many as 14 states in the US to transit cards for cities like Atlanta, reducing the need to carry physical cards and documents.  The steady expansion has turned Wallet from a simple payment app into a broader digital hub. While Siri AI and Apple Intelligence stole much of the spotlight at WWDC 2026, Apple Wallet quietly received its most substantial upgrade yet with iOS 27.  More importantly, iOS 27 feels like the moment those individual additions start coming together as a…

Every Computex promises the next big thing, but only a handful of laptops actually feel worthy of the hype. After spending time exploring the show floor and seeing these devices up close, one thing became abundantly clear: 2026 isn’t just about faster processors. It’s about smarter laptops, better portability, and AI features that are finally starting to feel useful instead of being another sticker on the palm rest. A big part of that shift is NVIDIA’s new RTX Spark platform, which made its way into several premium creator machines this year. Rather than diving into its technical details yet again,…

Gaming handhelds are great because they are portable (basically small). But that is also one of its biggest weaknesses. I was reminded of that while trying Asus’ new ROG Xbox Ally X20 bundle at Computex 2026. On its own, the Ally X20 is already a more polished version of the ROG Xbox Ally X. It arrives with nice updates that sound minor on paper but make a device feel more complete in your hands. The real surprise, though, was the bundled ROG XREAL R1 Edition 20 Gaming AR Glasses. I walked in to try the 20th anniversary edition of ASUS’…

Every year, Computex promises the next big thing. Sometimes that means another processor with a few extra cores, a laptop that’s 200 grams lighter, or a monitor that’s somehow even faster than the one before it. But every now and then, a trade show surprises you not with a single product, but with an entire category that suddenly feels new again. That’s exactly how Computex 2026 felt to me. After spending days walking the show floor, trying products, talking to engineers, and inevitably getting lost between booths more times than I’d like to admit, one thing became crystal clear. The…

Apple barely talked about CarPlay at its WWDC 2026 keynote, giving most of the spotlight to Siri AI and the broader Apple Intelligence additions in iOS 27. But that doesn’t mean CarPlay is a no-show this year. The Cupertino giant buried most of the CarPlay updates in a developer-only video, and, as it turns out, there’s genuinely more here than you would have expected. As a CarPlay user myself, I’d say some of these features are long overdue, while others tag along with the broader iOS 27 redesign. So, without any further ado, let’s discuss everything new coming to your…

Windows laptops have been chasing the gold that Apple struck years ago with its M-series chips. Back in 2020, Apple revealed a new lineup of MacBooks powered by silicon that seemed generations ahead in efficiency, integration, and even performance. It was a system that was built around the hardware instead of merely running on top of it. At Computex 2026, Nvidia RTX Spark looked like one of the most convincing responses that Windows has had in years. I got a tour of Nvidia’s showcase at the show, and Spark was easily one of the most interesting things I saw. During…

“Apple Intelligence 2.0” isn’t Apple’s official name, but it’s a useful shorthand for where the company is going. Apple calls it the next generation of Apple Intelligence, with Siri AI as the most visible piece. That’s a risky place to put the spotlight because Siri has baggage. For years, it’s been the assistant people use for timers, weather, and arguments with a glowing orb that somehow heard every word except the important one. The ideal version is Siri finding the flight code from an email while the airline hold music slowly removes the will to live. That’s the version Apple…

Every iOS update comes with a few headline features that grab all the attention. But for me, it’s usually the small, unglamorous changes that end up making the biggest difference in my day. iOS 27 is packed with these little wins, and after spending time with the iOS 27 beta, seven of them have already improved my day-to-day experience. Connectivity Assist keeps me online If you’ve ever watched a webpage stall while your iPhone stubbornly clings to a weak Wi-Fi signal, you’ll appreciate this one. Apple has added a new Connectivity Assist feature that lets your iPhone automatically switch to…
