Sony has filed a PSN login patent, first spotted by RespawnFirst, that would pull the DualSense controller into the sign-in process. A PlayStation console would start the request, then the controller would help confirm that the account holder is close enough to approve access. For players, the appeal is easy to see. PSN account abuse can lead to unauthorized purchases, lost access, and attempts to resell established accounts. Sony already offers 2-step verification and passkeys, but this idea adds a hardware check to the login chain. How would the controller approve access The patent describes a handoff that begins at…
Apple still has not released a touchscreen Mac, though macOS 27 Golden Gate suggests the company is at least preparing its desktop software for more touch-friendly interactions. Until that turns into actual Mac hardware, Alogic is trying to fill the gap with a new lineup of external displays that bring touch and stylus controls to macOS and Windows setups. The company unveiled the products at InfoComm 2026 in Las Vegas, including the Fokus wall-mounted touchscreens, Aspekt Touch 27-inch monitor, Folio portable displays, and Active Stylus. Windows users have had plenty of touchscreen monitor options for years, but Mac users usually…
iPhones are widely seen as some of the most secure smartphones for everyday users. Still, Apple devices are not immune to serious security flaws, as recent threats like Coruna and DarkSword have shown. Now, security researchers at Paradigm Shift have detailed a different kind of exploit called usbliter8, which affects some older iPhones and targets a deep part of Apple’s startup process known as the BootROM. The BootROM is the basic startup code that runs before iOS loads. It helps the iPhone begin the boot process and verify what should run next. Because it is built into the chip itself,…
Pool robots have become remarkably capable over the last few years. What started as simple cleaners designed to remove debris from the bottom of a pool has evolved into a new category of intelligent systems capable of navigating entire pools, adapting to changing conditions, and taking on multiple maintenance tasks at once. As expectations around smart home technology continue to rise, pool owners are increasingly looking for the same combination of automation, convenience, and reliability from their pool-care equipment. Few brands have embraced that shift more aggressively than Beatbot. Available through the Beatbot website and Amazon storefront, the company has…
Samsung has officially confirmed that the Exynos 2700 chipset is in development, giving us our first direct confirmation that the company’s next flagship processor is on the way. Samsung usually launches its Galaxy S flagship phones with two different chip options. Some markets get Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon processor, while others receive Samsung’s own Exynos chip. There have been a few exceptions in recent years. Both the Galaxy S23 series in 2023 and the Galaxy S25 series in 2025 launched exclusively with Snapdragon processors, leading many to wonder if the Galaxy S27 could receive the same treatment. That now seems unlikely.…
Apple Watch got its biggest software update in years with watchOS 27, but it’s skipping five models to get there. If your watch isn’t on the compatibility list, Apple offers an explanation that may sound reasonable, but it doesn’t make the pill any easier to swallow. So which Apple Watch models are missing out on watchOS 27? Five of them: the Apple Watch Series 6, 7, 8, the SE 2, and even the first Apple Watch Ultra. With watchOS 27, these models will receive only basic security updates and will not have access to the new Siri AI features or…
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of everyday life, and that includes classrooms. Students are turning to tools like ChatGPT for homework, research, writing assistance, and even basic questions. But a growing number of educators, researchers, and policymakers are questioning whether introducing children to AI at such a young age could do more harm than good. Norway appears to agree. The country has announced a near-total ban on generative AI tools for elementary school students, arguing that children need to develop fundamental reading, writing, and math skills without relying on AI. The move could become an early sign of a…
Caviar has made plenty of absurdly expensive custom phones before, but its latest iPhone accessory might be a crossover for the ages (literally). The company’s new Magnetic Custom Relict is a magnetic case for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and it costs $4,490. Yes, the price tag sounds absurd till you realize what the case includes. Embedded into the iPhone protective cover is a fragment of a Tyrannosaurus fossil set into the tip of its signature checkmark design. It’s more expensive than the phone it protects Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro Max starts at $1,199 in the US, which means Caviar’s…
Asus has quietly added an RTX 5080 option to the ROG Zephyrus G16 (2026) for buyers in the US, and it is priced at $4,799. That’s odd because last year’s ROG Zephyrus G16 with a more powerful RTX 5090 is currently sitting on Amazon for $4,599. Somehow, Asus has priced a less powerful GPU at a higher price than its predecessor with a better GPU. So what exactly does $4,799 buy you? The new model pairs Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5080 with Intel’s Core Ultra 9 386H (Panther Lake) processor, 64GB of RAM, and a boosted TGP of up to 160W,…
Nothing just canceled its next CMF Phone, and the reason has nothing to do with the phone itself. The company’s co-founder, Akis Evangelidis, confirmed on X that CMF won’t launch a new phone this year, citing the memory crisis, which appears to be worsening with each passing day. So what exactly happened to the next CMF Phone? The CMF Phone 2 Pro, released in April 2025, sold in the US for $279. In my opinion, it was one of the best-value Android phones at the time. Following the usual annual cycle, buyers were expecting a successor this year. While the…
