Chuwi has never been the brand you associate with top-tier hardware: it built its name on budget laptops that punched above their weight at entry-level prices.  The new CoreBook Air 226V is a deliberate step away from the brand’s comfort zone. It’s a sub-1kg Copilot+ PC built around Intel’s Lunar Lake processors, and at $800, it’s asking buyers to trust it with something that it has never before: a premium Windows laptop.  What makes the CoreBook Air 226V worth considering? For $800, the spec sheet is genuinely compelling. An Intel Core Ultra 5 226V (3nm, up to 4.5 GHz) chipset…

While humans built the internet, actual people aren’t the ones roaming the online space the most. A new report from Thales says bots accounted for more than 53% of all web traffic in 2025, up from 51% the previous year. Meanwhile, human activity has fallen by 47%, which means automated traffic has now become the dominant force online. And that’s not even the bad news. How AI is making the bot problem worse The big jump in bots on the internet is largely driven by AI-driven automation. According to the 2026 Thales Bad Bot report, 40% of all web traffic…

A real-world test of BYD’s Megwatt Flash Charge technology showed the battery hitting 169.6°F during a charging session. That’s hot enough to roast a turkey, and well above China’s recommended safety ceiling of 149°F for lithium iron phosphate battery cells. The test, conducted by an automotive blogger who livestreamed the session (via ChinaEVHome), has raised concerns about whether the heat generated by ultra-fast charging degrades long-term battery health. Why the heat matters Under normal driving and charging conditions, EV battery cells typically operate between 68°F and 86°F, with most vehicles flagging overheating warnings above 140°F. Temperatures in the range recorded…

Nearly a year after the Nintendo Switch 2 launched, the console still doesn’t offer any streaming apps. While the console supports TV docking, you cannot use it to stream YouTube videos or watch movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime, or Hulu. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X launched with all of these on day one, but the Switch 2 remains a streaming desert. It’s hard to say whether Nintendo or the streaming apps are at fault for this. Google promised at launch that YouTube support is “coming soon,” but has since gone quiet. So players decided to take…

The team behind GrapheneOS, a security-focused Android alternative, is calling out Google and Apple for what they describe as anti-competitive behavior dressed up as a security feature. With the latest Google reCAPTCHA upgrade, if you’re on a Windows PC, Linux machine, or pretty much anything that isn’t a smartphone, you may soon be asked to scan a QR code with your phone to prove you’re human.  Not just any phone, though. It has to be an Apple device or a Google-certified Android device. Why should you care about this? Most coverage of this feature treats it as a minor CAPTCHA…
