I first caught a glimpse of Intel’s new handheld silicon at Computex 2026, where I saw early hardware powered by it, including the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ and Acer Predator Atlas 8. But seeing a chip run a demo on a show floor and actually pushing it through real-world workloads are two very different things. When MSI eventually sent me the production Claw for a spin, I finally got that opportunity. I only had the device for a short time, but that brief window was enough to make one thing clear: Intel’s Arc G3 Extreme is a seriously capable…

Between reviewing tech for a living and spending most of my day in front of a screen, free time is a luxury. Yet almost every evening, I somehow find myself queueing up for two or three ranked Valorant games. My peak rank is Ascendant 1, and while I’m far from going pro, competitive FPS titles are where I put hundreds of hours every year. For the longest time, my trusty Logitech G502 X Plus LIGHTSPEED was always waiting on my desk. It wasn’t the lightest mouse around, but it felt dependable. I’d flirt with lightweight esports mice now and then,…

Windows 11 users have been getting a new OneDrive app whether they asked for it or not. The problem? Microsoft says it wasn’t supposed to happen. Microsoft has confirmed that its OneDrive Photos app was rolled out to Windows 11 PCs more broadly than intended, including enterprise machines where the app isn’t even designed to work. The company says it is now working on a fix, but there’s an awkward catch: users currently can’t uninstall OneDrive Photos without removing the main OneDrive app too. So, what exactly got installed? OneDrive Photos isn’t an entirely new product. Microsoft first introduced the…

You don’t always need to hack into a company’s systems to get its secrets. Sometimes, the company will simply email them to you. A new report by WIRED’s Matt Burgess has uncovered a bizarre email security problem in which companies are inadvertently sending sensitive information to domains that can be registered and controlled by outsiders. Security researchers Cory Solovevich and Mike Sheward discovered that seemingly harmless addresses such as noreply and deleteduser can become unexpected gateways to corporate information when the domains behind them aren’t properly controlled. The “hack” is buying the right domain The worrying part is that this…

Apple quietly killed the ceramic Apple Watch in 2020, and for the fans of the fancy material, it has been an inexplicable absence ever since. For those catching up, ceramic was the lineup’s most premium material option.  It was smooth to touch, scratch-resistant, and had that distinct non-metallic appearance, a characteristic of all titanium and aluminum frames. Now, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is actively planning its return. Why does the ceramic case’s return actually matter? While it isn’t mentioned clearly in the report, Apple could re-introduce a ceramic version of the Apple Watch with either the Series 12…

Apple may be preparing to give the Apple Watch its biggest redesign in years, but the company appears to be thinking much further ahead than this year’s model.

The report suggests Apple is looking beyond the incremental upgrades that have defined the Watch in recent years. Gurman says the company has been exploring different screen sizes, display types and even models without screens as it tries to rethink what an Apple Watch should be. The timing is…

Children in the UK are reporting a sharp rise in explicit AI-generated images depicting themselves, according to figures from Report Remove, an online service that allows young people to anonymously report intimate images shared without consent. The service received 420 reports in the first six months of 2026 from children who believed images of themselves had been manipulated or fabricated. That is already higher than the 397 reports recorded during the whole of 2025, according to The Guardian. The figures highlight a growing problem with generative AI: creating convincing fake images of a real person increasingly requires little technical skill,…
