If your ideal browser experience involves as little AI as possible, Mozilla is finally giving you a way to shut it all off on Firefox. The company has confirmed that an AI “kill switch” is coming to Firefox Nightly builds first, before rolling out to everyone on February 24 with the release of Firefox 148. Once it lands, users will be able to disable every AI-powered feature in the browser with a single setting. Mozilla’s move comes at a time when many AI browsers are racing to add more automated tools, whether people ask for them or not. With Firefox,…

If you’ve been waiting for the “okay, now OLED makes sense” moment, this is it. OLED is the upgrade people actually notice, even if they’re not TV nerds. Dark scenes look truly dark, highlights pop without turning into a washed-out mess, and everything just feels more cinematic. The Samsung 65-inch S84F OLED is $899.99, which is $1,100 off the $1,999.99 compared value.

Netflix has now dropped the first trailer for a brand-new animated spinoff, Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, keeping the world of Hawkins alive with a fresh adventure set to arrive later this year. The original Stranger Things series ended after five seasons and a massive finale. Yet, both fans and creators felt that there were still corners of this universe left to explore. That feeling clearly stuck with the Duffer Brothers, who are helping guide this animated offshoot in a…

The “blackout” backup isn’t about surviving the apocalypse; it’s about making a Tuesday night power outage annoying rather than disastrous. The goal is a system that keeps your Wi-Fi on, your laptop charged, and your fridge cold without you having to drag a gas generator out of the garage in the rain. Here is the hardware loadout to build a modern, silent, and reliable energy safety net. The power supply Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 Old power stations were heavy and took hours to charge. The Anker SOLIX C1000 changes the math. It charges from 0-100% in just 58 minutes…

Uncertainty remains elevated, not least on the geopolitical front, amid a wide array of risks The global economy is expected to grow at a reasonable but not particularly exciting pace again this year, supported by easier monetary policy, fiscal stimulus in key economies and the continued artificial intelligence (AI) boom, but important downside risks remain in a volatile and unpredictable global environment, according to ACCA’s latest Global Economic Outlook. The third edition of ACCA’s annual outlook finds that global growth proved more resilient than expected in 2025, despite the major trade disruptions and massive policy uncertainty.

In the last decade, “Cherry MX Red” was the gold standard for gaming. But in 2026, the mechanical switch is officially obsolete for competitive play. The new meta is “Hall Effect” (magnetic) technology. Unlike a mechanical switch, which has to physically hit a metal contact to register a keypress, a Hall Effect switch uses a magnet and a sensor. This allows for “Rapid Trigger”: a feature where the key resets the instant you lift your finger even a millimeter, rather than waiting for it to bounce back past a fixed point. In games like Valorant or Counter-Strike, this makes counter-strafing…
