Every year, foldable manufacturers proudly shave another fraction of a millimeter from their newest phones. Samsung is a great example of this, building some of the sleekest flexible devices available in the market. Older foldables were chunky bricks, but the newer ones are now breaching regular flagship sizes. After spending time with the Motorola Razr Fold and Honor Magic V6, then comparing them against Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 8, the hardware I appreciate most has very little to do with which device is the thinnest. What I’d rather trade an extra bit of width for is a useful hinge…

In this age of AI, fake photos have become a genuine concern. But Apple might be planning on dealing with this with its next major iteration of iOS. Code discovered in iOS 27 beta 5 by 9to5Mac points to an unreleased feature called Apple Reference Image. The system is designed to authenticate that an image originated from an iPhone camera by using information tied to the hardware that captured it. Meaning, iPhone photos could now arrive with a verifiable record of where they came from. Your iPhone camera could vouch for its own photos Reference Image reportedly won’t apply to…
SteamOS isn’t just a byproduct developed for Valve’s gaming hardware, and the company is proving this by expanding support for other handhelds aside from the Steam Deck. While the platform hasn’t been exclusive to the Steam Deck, more handhelds from MSI, Ayaneo, and Konkr are getting support for Valve’s latest SteamOS beta. As spotted by Notebookcheck, Valve’s new SteamOS 3.8.25 beta expands support for several third-party handhelds. This doesn’t amount to Valve giving every device full SteamOS certification, but the update brings another handful of machines closer to working properly with the company’s gaming-focused operating system. Four more handhelds are…

I have been reviewing the MelGeek Made68 Ultra V2 for the past few weeks, and surprisingly, one of my favorite things about it has nothing to do with gaming. Make no mistake, this is very much a gaming keyboard, and a premium one at that. It uses Hall effect switches, offers adjustable actuation, and has all the usual features you would expect from a modern magnetic keyboard. I have particularly enjoyed using it in Rainbow Six Siege, where peeking and strafing feel noticeably snappier than on the mechanical keyboards I normally use. But I have also fallen in love with…
I have used Finder for as long as I have owned a Mac, and for most of that time, I never gave it a second thought. You open a window, dig through some folders, drag a file where it needs to go, and move on with your day. That’s just how it works, right? Except it should not. Constantly opening new windows to move a file from one folder to another, waiting on searches that dig through my entire drive when I only want results from one folder, resizing the same columns over and over because they never remember their…

PC buyers are getting squeezed from every side this year, and it is not just memory and chips driving up the cost of your next computer. According to a Taiwanese publication, United Daily News, Microsoft has quietly raised its Windows OEM licensing fees, and the hike is steeper than usual. This could make PC prices climb another 5% this quarter. As if the AI-fueled RAM and chipset crisis was not enough, PC buyers are getting another price hike, and the sad part is that they won’t even get anything extra for it. How much more is Microsoft charging PC brands?…
