I have two pairs of wireless earbuds that I rotate during long gaming sessions. When one starts complaining about its battery, I swap in the other pair and put the first one on charge. It’s a mildly ridiculous system, but it works. Apparently, my gaming setup now requires something resembling shift work. Then my mouse died in the middle of a game. A few weeks later, my keyboard did the same thing. Neither had gone anywhere. Both spend essentially their entire lives on my desk, within arm’s reach of the computer they’re connected to. Somehow, I’d turned two completely stationary…

Google’s upcoming Googlebook lineup is starting to take shape through leaks. Lenovo has already appeared in several renders, while a recent benchmark leak suggests Dell may bring the XPS name to Google’s new laptop platform. Asus is now the latest manufacturer to surface ahead of launch. Digital Citizen has published multiple renders of an unannounced Asus Googlebook, showing its lid, keyboard, chassis, and port selection. The laptop could make its official debut at IFA next month. Googlebooks are expected to bring Android apps, ChromeOS technology, deeper phone integration, and Gemini features to a new generation of laptops. Acer, Asus, Dell,…

AvaTrade has pointed to investors’ concern over rising AI spending as the reason SpaceX shares fell this week, after the company’s first-ever earnings report revealed spending had jumped to more than six times last year’s level. While quarterly revenue nearly doubled year-on-year to $7.8bn, spending ballooned to $18.3bn – more than six times last year’s level – with the bulk of the increase going towards AI. Commenting on SpaceX’s quarterly earnings report and the market’s reaction, as well as the company’s AI strategy outlined on its earnings call, Kate Leaman, chief market analyst at AvaTrade, said:“SpaceX’s first earnings report as…

Apple may be preparing to raise the price of the iPhone 17 lineup as early as August 10, just weeks before the company is expected to introduce its next generation of iPhones. The possibility comes from a new rumor reported by 9to5Mac, which cites a Weibo post from leaker Fixed Focus Digital claiming that prices could increase on Monday. There is no official confirmation from Apple, and the report does not identify a direct source for the alleged increase. Still, the timing is notable. Apple is widely expected to adjust iPhone pricing when the iPhone 18 Pro launches next month,…

After directing blockbusters like Fast X and Now You See Me, director Louis Leterrier has delivered his first sci-fi horror film: The Last House. Starring Oscar nominee Wagner Moura and Golden Globe nominee Greta Lee, the movie follows the Delgado family as a mysterious rain seals them inside their house, forcing them to use what little resources they have to survive. In an interview with Digital Trends, Leterrier discussed what inspired him to make The Last House, the challenges of filming on its practical set, and how audiences can connect to the Delgados’ extraordinary journey. This transcript has been edited…

Wondering what to watch this weekend but too lazy to dig around? No worries, I have rounded up three hidden gems you can binge-watch in a single weekend. There is a technothriller stuffed with cold-case flashbacks, a tense two-hander that unfolds almost entirely inside a basement, carried by sharp dialogue, and a divorce story that turns messier and more human with every episode. I recommend these three limited series on Hulu for their unexpected plot twists and stellar performances.

A fresh benchmark leak suggests Dell is quietly building its first Googlebook under the XPS name, joining Lenovo and Asus as the hardware partner for Google’s upcoming laptop platform (via Chrome Unboxed). The leak trail started with an internal board codenamed “Mica” showing up in Chromium’s development pipeline. It was tied to Qualcomm’s “Bluey” architecture built specifically for Snapdragon X-series Googlebooks.  So how did this leak actually surface? Going through the code, researchers at GBookHub spotted power management and battery health scripts that closely matched Dell’s own proprietary firmware structure, a strong hint pointing back to Dell rather than another…

Cloudflare just entered the AI-browser race with a twist. Instead of building another Chrome alternative for people, the company launched Kitesurf, a cloud-hosted browser made only for AI agents. Since autonomous AI systems are increasingly the ones doing the actual browsing and scrolling online, Cloudflare just made its to claim that space. Agents should use tools that excel at what’s important for an AI model. Kitesurf is Cloudflare’s new stateless, highly scalable, and cost-effective web browser that runs entirely on top of Workers and was designed specifically for the Agentic Cloud. https://t.co/4579J174by…— Cloudflare (@Cloudflare) August 6, 2026 Why did Cloudflare…

A decade ago, Google introduced voice typing with the Gboard app on Android, and a year later, the perk landed on iPhones with the keyboard app. I never paid much attention to it. The biggest reason was that it was just not accurate.  The big promise was a whole new way of interacting with our phones, but it was never good enough to make me quit tapping, or swiping on an on-screen keyboard. Fast forward to 2026, I’m talking to my computer. In fact, this whole article was dictated and copy-pasted in WordPress.  The modifications that I had to make…
