Previous CAD renders had already lowered my expectations for the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. The latest promotional material shared by Evan Blass through the Leakmail newsletter leaves little hope of anything beyond a new paint job and design tweaks so minor that most people would struggle to notice them without looking closely. The phone looks disappointingly similar to the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, retaining the same proportions, rounded corners, and unusual camera island. I have never liked the way Google stacks what look like two smaller Pixel camera visors on top of each other. It feels awkward rather than cohesive.…
I remember when a $999 GPU felt like the “expensive but justifiable” tier, something buyers saved months for before building their dream gaming PC. Nvidia’s about to make that price feel affordable. Back in January, reports surfaced that AMD and Nvidia had warned board partners about incoming price increases. So how big are these price hikes actually? A week later, the claims were followed by a report of a roughly 15-20% hike across Nvidia’s entire RTX 50 lineup. Nearly six months later, actual numbers are surfacing, and if you ask me, they’re quite rough. Based on current Chinese market rates,…
An internal initiative honouring the professional growth journey of Emirati employees and strengthening the partnership between leadership and national talent Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 30 July 2026: When a Group CEO sits down for an open conversation with Emirati employees, answering their questions directly in a podcast-style format, the message goes well beyond that of a typical internal event. This is what unfolded at “Al Barzaa 2026”, organised by National Bonds, one of the UAE’s leading Sharia-compliant savings and investment companies, at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Dubai. Held under the theme “Empowering National Talent”, the event reflected National Bonds’ ongoing…
Apple has found a great way to make an expensive iPhone more approachable. Apple Upgrade lets customers lease eligible devices through Klarna, with iPhone terms lasting 12 or 24 months. At the end, you can return the device, begin another lease, or pay the remaining amount to own it. My initial reaction focused heavily on the value customers lose by returning an iPhone they could have sold or traded. While that concern is still valid, the program makes considerably more sense for a select group of people who already replace their iPhones every year. But the question is… how many…

Samsung’s rolling home robot has been the industry’s longest-running “will it ever actually ship” joke, and I’ll admit I’d mostly given up on it. Now, there’s finally a glimmer of hope. Samsung first unveiled Ballie as a concept at CES 2020. Then, it showed it as a significantly upgraded version four years later. However, the company never confirmed a release date or committed to releasing it at all. So what did this leak actually reveal? Now, SammyGuru has obtained the first images of Ballie’s companion smartphone app. To me, it looks like a wireframe design draft rather than a finished…

I’ve always assumed Chrome’s endless update notifications were just routine housekeeping with a batch of actually useful features every now and then. Turns out some of them are patching bugs that have been quietly sitting in the browser’s code for over a decade. So how exactly is AI catching these bugs? Google has built an AI agent powered by its in-house AI model, Gemini. Its entire purpose is to scan Chrome’s entire codebase for vulnerabilities, and it’s already proven itself. Among the other fixes, one catch stood out. It was a sandbox escape bug that let a compromised part of…
