Google just pushed the button on Android 16 QPR2, its second major update of the year, and it represents a huge shift in how our phones get better. Gone are the days of waiting for one massive “Android 17” drop every fall. Google has officially switched gears to delivering two meaningful updates a year – a platform overhaul first, followed by a feature-packed polish like this one. Right now, this is hitting Pixel devices, with Samsung, OnePlus, and others expected to catch up soon (likely via updates like One UI 8.5). This isn’t just a bug fix; it’s a serious…

Those of a nervous disposition might want to skip this article. It’s about some of the creepiest robots ever to have walked this Earth. Apart from this one, perhaps.  Part of a new art exhibition at Art Basel Miami, the robot dogs feature unnervingly lifelike copies of the heads of some of the biggest names in tech — think Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos. Art legends Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso also appear. But it gets weirder. Part of an exhibit called Regular Animals, the camera-equipped robots walk around a small enclosure before occasionally squatting to poop out an…

What’s happened? In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber laid out some comforting news: despite inflation, tariffs, and industry-wide cost pressures, Logitech does not plan to raise accessory prices again soon. The company is also distancing itself from the current rush toward standalone AI gadgets, choosing instead to focus on enhancing and updating existing products. Faber said Logitech is done with major price increases for now, as its supply-chain tweaks have helped stabilize costs. The company is sidestepping the wave of “AI-everything” hype: no plans for standalone AI accessories meant purely for show. Instead of gimmicks, Logitech…

For the sixth year in a row, SpaceX is on course to set a new annual launch record for the Falcon 9 rocket, highlighting SpaceX’s increasing dominance in orbital launch activity, as well as the success of its reusable booster system in enabling frequent, cost-effective flights. The Elon Musk-led spaceflight company is set to complete 159 Falcon 9 launches by the end of the year, beating last year’s annual tally of 132 — 134 if you count the two Falcon Heavy launches, each of which used three Falcon 9 boosters.

What’s happened? Apple has pushed the watchOS 26.2 release candidate, the next upgrade for Apple Watch, and it contains Enhanced Safety Alerts. In the United States, Apple Watch will deliver alerts for imminent threats such as floods, natural disasters, and other emergencies (via 9To5Mac).

Getting emergency alerts on their wrist can help users…

What’s happened? For the first time, a discrete graphics card has been publicly demonstrated running on Windows on ARM. As reported first by ITHome, the GPU in question is the Lisuan 7G106, a Chinese-made dGPU that was recently shown running a 3DMark benchmark on an ARM-based Windows system.

The Lisuan 7G106 was shown running 3DMark Time Spy on Windows on ARM, confirming real dGPU driver support. This makes it the first known discrete GPU to demonstrate…

The smartwatch is expected to launch around 2026, possibly with next year’s foldables. Why is this important? While information about the purported Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 remains scarce, the smartwatch should build upon the strong foundation laid by…

Since our messaging apps are constantly getting hammered with sophisticated fraud – from those fake “delivery fee” demands to weird promises of free money – Google is stepping in to help you spot the fakes at a glance. It works using the gesture you probably already use: just long-press the home button or navigation bar, circle the suspicious text, and Google generates an AI Overview. This isn’t just a generic warning;…
