Windows 11 is getting a new security mode meant to block risky software before it can dig into the system, especially the kind that hides behind drivers and background services. Microsoft calls it Windows Baseline Security Mode. It turns integrity safeguards on by default, so signed apps, services, and drivers are the ones that run. If something is unsigned, Windows can stop it. You can still approve exceptions when you need to keep a legitimate tool working. Microsoft is also pushing User Transparency and Consent. Windows will start prompting you when an app reaches for device or data access, and…

You can finally use YouTube on Apple Vision Pro without pretending Safari is good enough. YouTube released an official app for Apple’s mixed-reality headset on Thursday, closing one of the most obvious entertainment gaps on the device. Before this, YouTube only ran through the web player, and that came with familiar headaches. The most annoying was offline viewing, there was no official way to download videos for later. If your Wi-Fi was spotty, or you wanted to watch on a flight, you were stuck. Now the experience feels like an actual app instead of a workaround. You get full access…

Sony just confirmed a God of War trilogy remake is in development. In the 2026 State of Play, it says the first three mainline games from Kratos’ Greek saga are being remade. No footage yet. Sony describes the project as early, so this announcement is more about ending the guessing than showing a finished vision. The timing lines up with the series’ 20th anniversary in March 2026, which makes this feel like a deliberate look back while the franchise keeps moving forward. The first three God of War games debuted on PS2, and Sony says the new versions are being…

Anthropic is testing a new Tasks feature inside Claude’s iOS app, and it looks like a move toward agentic work runs on iPhone, as spotted by TestingCatalog News. A newer build shows a Tasks entry in the app navigation plus a Tasks hub where you can create and manage repeatable jobs. If it ships as shown, this would push Claude closer to Cowork-style automation on mobile. You set something up once, then rerun it when you need the same outcome again. What’s still missing is the timeline. The surfaced UI does not include a public rollout date, and it doesn’t…

With the launch of the WF-1000XM6 TWS earbuds, Sony has once again thrown the flagship earbuds competition wide open. The earbuds push audio performance, promise better noise cancellation, and deliver better battery life than ever, but the $330 question is: how do they compare with other flagship offerings?Sony faces white-hot competition from two well-received heavy-hitters from Bose and Apple. Sony is climbing higher up the price ladder when pitted against the second-gen Bose QuietComfort Ultra and the third-gen AirPods Pro. But do Sony’s legacy and the generation-over-generation upgrades on the WF-100XM6 justify the high asking price? Well, that depends on the…

Microsoft is warning that the rush to deploy workplace AI agents can create a new kind of insider threat, the AI double agent. In its Cyber Pulse report, it says attackers can twist an assistant’s access or feed it untrusted input, then use that reach to cause damage inside an organization. The problem isn’t that AI is new. It’s that control is uneven. Microsoft says agents are spreading across industries, while some deployments slip past IT review and security teams lose sight of what is running and what it can touch. That blind spot gets riskier when an agent can…

NASA is just hours away from its first crewed launch of 2026, and its first since Crew-11 flew to orbit in August last year. Just ahead of Crew-12’s liftoff, the space agency has released a short trailer (above) for the mission, which will send four astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS). The crew will travel aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule carried to orbit by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, are expected to blast off from from Space Launch Complex 40…
