Samsung has launched its first magnetic wireless power bank. Dubbed the Magnet Wireless Battery Pack, the device is specifically designed to address the Galaxy S26’s lack of built-in magnets, a gap that is quite frustrating for users, especially those who prefer wireless charging.  Talking about the power bank’s specifications first, it sports a 5,000 mAh battery that delivers up to 15W wireless or 25W wired charging via USB-C. You can use it to charge two devices at once, but I sincerely don’t recommend doing that, especially if you’re looking for complete recharges rather than quick top-ups. Is the hardware good…

Adobe has agreed to a $150 million settlement to resolve a U.S. government lawsuit that accused the company of making its subscriptions unnecessarily difficult to cancel. As per their statement, the agreement includes $75 million in civil penalties paid to the U.S. government and another $75 million worth of free services for affected customers. The case stemmed from a 2024 lawsuit brought by the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission over Adobe’s subscription practices. Regulators alleged that Adobe hid early termination fees and created complicated cancellation processes, violating the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (ROSCA), which requires companies…

Garmin smartwatch users may soon have a new way to understand their health and fitness data, simply by chatting with an AI.

The connector is still in development but is reportedly nearing completion.…

In this episode of You Asked, we tackle viewer questions about using the LG C4 as a PC monitor in 2026, fixing greyed-out picture settings on Samsung TVs, getting the best performance out of the TCL QM6K Pro, and connecting a satellite box to a Sony Bravia TV running Google TV.

A fresh Windows 11 bug is causing serious headaches for some PC owners, and Samsung laptop users appear to be bearing the brunt of it. Microsoft has confirmed reports that certain devices running recent Windows 11 builds can suddenly lose access to the system drive after installing a February 2026 security update. When the issue triggers, users see the error message “C: is not accessible – Access denied”, effectively locking them out of the drive where Windows and most applications reside. The company says it is actively investigating the issue and working with Samsung to determine the root cause. For…

Artificial intelligence chatbots are facing growing scrutiny after several recent cases linked online conversations with violent incidents or attempted attacks. Legal filings, lawsuits, and independent research suggest that interactions with AI systems may sometimes reinforce dangerous beliefs among vulnerable individuals, raising concerns about how these technologies handle conversations involving violence or severe mental distress. Alarming Cases Spark Concern One of the most disturbing incidents occurred last month in Tumbler Ridge, Canada, where court documents claim that 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar discussed feelings of isolation and an escalating fascination with violence with ChatGPT before carrying out a deadly school attack. According…

A fresh supply chain shock may be brewing for the tech industry, and it could eventually affect the price of PCs, smartphones, and other consumer electronics. According to a new report from DigiTimes, semiconductor manufacturers are facing sharp increases in the cost of key materials used in chip production. The spike is being driven by geopolitical instability and tightening supply chains, particularly for metals used in compound semiconductors. One metal drawing particular attention is gallium, a critical element used in advanced semiconductor technologies. Market data show gallium prices have surged dramatically in recent months, reaching roughly $2,100 per kilogram in…

Microsoft is quietly preparing Windows 11 for a new class of ultra-fast gaming monitors, even if most gamers won’t see them anytime soon. According to a recent Windows Insider blog post, new Release Preview builds 26100.8106 and 26200.8106 introduce support for monitors that report refresh rates higher than 1,000Hz. The change effectively removes a previous limitation in Windows’ display stack that prevented the operating system from properly recognizing extremely high refresh-rate panels. Microsoft appears to be future-proofing Windows as monitor manufacturers push refresh rates beyond current limits. While displays this fast are still rare, the software groundwork suggests Microsoft expects…

Spielberg Draws A Line On AI In Creative Work During the discussion, Spielberg revealed that he has never used AI in any of his films, a statement that drew enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Independent testing has recently uncovered what it describes as a potential CPU mislabeling issue affecting multiple Chuwi laptops. In its latest report, Notebookcheck found that the Chuwi CoreBook Plus, which is marketed as using an AMD Ryzen 5 7430U, actually shipped with the older Ryzen 5 5500U processor instead. What makes the situation more unusual is that the laptop’s packaging, product pages, BIOS, and even Windows system tools reportedly identify the chip as a Ryzen 5 7430U, making it difficult for buyers to detect the discrepancy without deeper inspection. The discovery has raised concerns about transparency in the budget laptop…
