A 13-year-old boy in Hangzhou has already won national AI competitions and built a following of more than 136,000 people online, all while his dad tries to figure out how to guide him through a field that barely existed when he himself was growing up. That family’s situation, first reported by Rest of World, says a lot about where China’s tech industry is heading right now. Companies used to wait for graduates to walk through the door. Now they’re reaching further back, first to undergrads, and increasingly to teenagers, hoping to spot rare talent before anyone else gets to them.…

Rohid reflects on becoming one of the highest-valued UAE players at the league’s landmark first-ever player auction and the league’s impact on his career. Season 5 of the six-team, 34-match DP World ILT20 will be played in November-December 2026. Dubai, 21 July 2026: For UAE left-arm pacer Muhammad Rohid, the DP World ILT20’s landmark first-ever player auction marked a defining moment. Signed by MI Emirates for USD 140,000 ahead of Season 4, Rohid emerged as the fifth-most expensive acquisition in the auction, reflecting the growing faith franchises have in UAE talent and the increasing value of homegrown players in the…

Robot vacuums are supposed to clean the house. Turns out this one was mapping it for strangers. Security researchers have disclosed a critical vulnerability affecting SharkNinja’s cloud-connected robot vacuums that could allow attackers to remotely access sensitive information, including live camera feeds, home maps, Wi-Fi passwords, and even execute commands on affected devices. More concerningly, the issue reportedly remains unpatched despite being responsibly disclosed to SharkNinja months ago. How can a vacuum become a spy? The flaw was discovered by security researcher tokay0, who reverse-engineered a Shark RV2320EDUS robot vacuum. According to the research, the device contains an AWS IoT…
“The Beatbot AquaSense X is the most complete pool robot ever made” Pros Phenomenal cleaning job Lots of technology Works as advertised Great build quality on both station and robot Cons Pretty expensive Station requires lots of space Quick take: For some people, robot pool cleaners solved the worst work of pool ownership years ago, but then added a new one: hauling a dripping machine to the charging station, and cleaning out the debris basket after each run. The Beatbot AquaSense X is the first robot built to kill that messy job. Its AstroRinse station is the first automatic filter-cleaning…
Indie developers have been behind some unusually specific apps across Apple’s platforms lately. Glaze can turn every Mac window into a CRT fever dream, while Screen Test can help expose monitor defects before the return window closes. I recently came across another one called Sharp, an iPhone app that uses a face scan to build and adjust a skincare routine. Sharp was created by Esat, a student and solo developer from Germany who says his own skin problems inspired the project. The app is primarily aimed at people who want to start a routine but have little idea which products…
Whenever a new AI model arrives, it’s easy to get caught up in the bells and whistles. We talk about how much smarter it is, how quickly it answers questions, or how realistic its images have become. But here’s the thing: none of that matters much if the AI can’t reliably work with the apps and services people use every day. That’s why an upcoming update to the Model Context Protocol (MCP) caught my attention. It isn’t a new chatbot or a fancy AI model. In fact, most people will never even know it’s happening. But it could quietly make…
Turns out the “Hide” part of Hide My Email wasn’t doing its job quite as advertised, something that I covered early in July. Security researcher Tyler Murphy reported the flaw in June 2025, but despite Apple claiming it was resolved in March 2026, independent tests confirmed it remained exploitable, at least until July 3, 2026. So how did this bug actually work? The flaw meant that if someone sent a message to your hidden address and it bounced as spam, even a completely legitimate email, your actual email address could get exposed in the sender’s mail logs. You wouldn’t even…
If you’ve pre-ordered a Samsung foldable purely for the free storage bump, tomorrow’s Unpacked event might sting a little. For years, pre-ordering a new Galaxy meant automatically getting double the storage at no additional charge. Buy the 128GB model, walk away with 256GB for the same price. The same applied to the 256GB and 512GB models. However, that might change at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event. So what exactly is Samsung ending here? In a newsletter email sent by Samsung Austria, the company has confirmed it’s no longer offering the free storage bump customers are used to getting when they…
