AI chatbots have made it surprisingly easy to talk about anything, and that includes some of the heaviest topics imaginable. That openness has always been a double-edged sword. OpenAI is now taking a step to address that, with a new feature that brings a trusted person into the picture when things get serious. The company is rolling out a new feature called Trusted Contact, and it is starting to appear in ChatGPT settings for adult users. It lets users name one person who can be alerted if ChatGPT detects a serious self-harm concern. How does Trusted Contact work? Setting up…
The OnePlus 16 is starting to sound like the kind of flagship that doesn’t arrive quietly. A new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station points to a 200MP periscope zoom camera, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chip, and a battery that could reach 9,000mAh. That would be a loud hardware swing in any year. The timing adds pressure, since reports have swirled that OnePlus was winding down operations before merging with Realme under Oppo’s wider umbrella. Nothing is official yet, and OnePlus hasn’t announced the phone or a launch window. The safest read is that the OnePlus 16…
Huawei just launched the MatePad Pro Max, and it’s a lot to take in. At just 4.7mm thick and weighing 499 grams, it officially takes the crown as the world’s thinnest tablet. For context, the iPad Pro, which we all fawned over for being impossibly slim, is 5.1mm thick. The MatePad Pro Max beats it. Now, there’s a decent chance you’ll never actually buy this tablet. Huawei devices aren’t sold in every market, and the lack of Google apps is a real barrier for most users. But there’s no denying that Huawei is doing things that even Apple can’t match. …
AI is still something most people have to consciously engage with. You open an app, type a prompt, take a photo, or ask a question. Apple’s next major AirPods upgrade could change that. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company is in late-stage development on camera-equipped earbuds that could put visual AI into a device that many people already use every day. How close are these AI AirPods to launch? Bloomberg reports that the earbuds have reached design validation testing, one of the final hardware stages before early mass-production testing. That means the hardware may be close, but the launch…
Smart glasses have always had an obvious privacy concern, and a new BBC investigation just showed us why. A woman identified as Alice was approached by a man in a London shopping centre while he was wearing smart glasses. She thought it was a normal interaction and did not realize she was being recorded. The footage was later uploaded online and viewed around 40,000 times. Where everything went wrong Content creators or influencers recording unassuming pedestrians isn’t new—and is often harmless. But the story took a darker turn after Alice contacted the creator after she saw the video online. She…
AI coding tools have made it ridiculously easy to build a web app, and it only takes a few minutes to set up now. This ease has lowered the barrier to app development, which is causing a new set of issues. So what happens when these AI-made apps go live without anyone checking the locks? You get secrets spilling out all over the internet. A WIRED report highlights a major security problem around so-called “vibe-coded” apps, which are built using AI development platforms such as Lovable, Replit, Base44, and Netlify. Why this is a bigger issue than you think Security…
A few weeks ago, I wrote about an app that looks at you through the Mac’s webcam, and as soon as it detects a slouching posture, it sends a notification. The app even logs all the instances and provides a daily posture score. It was an open-source app, but soon after it was shared on Reddit by the creator, a huge chunk of fellow Reddit lurkers started asking about how it processes and stores data. Those were existentially valid queries. After all, you are giving an app access to the camera, which can monitor you and the world around you…

Snapchat’s planned Perplexity integration is no longer happening. Snap revealed in its Q1 2026 investor letter that both companies “amicably ended the relationship in Q1,” ending a $400 million cash-and-equity deal announced last November. The deal would have brought Perplexity’s AI answering engine directly into Snapchat’s Chat interface. Users would have been able to ask questions and get conversational, source-backed answers without leaving the app. Snap had earlier said the partnership would begin contributing to revenue in 2026, but its latest sales guidance now assumes no contribution from Perplexity. Do users need AI search inside every chat app? The cancellation…
