Samsung Electronics launched the New Galaxy Book6 in South Korea on September 1, 2026, pricing the 14-inch Windows laptop at ₩1.19 million to ₩1.49 million (roughly $819 to $1,025), according to Edaily and Maeil Business Newspaper. The move undercuts Samsung’s own standard Galaxy Book6 lineup by as much as ₩1.02 million, a sharp reversal after…
Nintendo has never sold a Super Nintendo Classic Mini in every region, never restocked the ones it did sell for long, and has shown zero interest in bringing SNES Online libraries up to full parity outside its own subscription tier. That gap is exactly why three free PC projects still matter in 2026: bsnes, Snes9x,…
Every major AI lab still advertises a free chatbot tier, but “free” has stopped meaning the same thing across providers. OpenAI now promises unlimited everyday text chats on ChatGPT’s free plan, while Anthropic caps Claude’s free tier at roughly 15 to 40 messages per five-hour window. Google throttles Gemini’s free model access and context window…
Thunderbolt 5 finally gave portable storage a reason to catch up with internal drives. Two years after Intel unveiled the standard, only a handful of external SSDs actually push past the 40Gbps ceiling that has capped USB drives since 2019. The OWC Envoy Ultra and the LaCie Rugged SSD Pro5 are the two drives that…
Linus Torvalds released Linux kernel 7.3-rc1 on August 30, 2026, and buried inside a diff that pushes the kernel past roughly 40.98 million lines of code sits a change that Apple Silicon Linux users have wanted for years: initial USB4 and Thunderbolt support for the M1, M2, and M3 chips, according to LinuxCompatible’s coverage of…
Shadow PC quietly rewrote its own rulebook in July 2026. For years, the French cloud-gaming service sold itself on one promise that its rivals couldn’t match: a full Windows machine in the cloud, with no hour limits, no session timers, and no library restrictions. That promise is gone. Every current Shadow plan now caps your…
Every serverless tutorial eventually runs into the same wall: you can write a Lambda function in five minutes, but wiring it to API Gateway, DynamoDB, IAM roles, and a repeatable deployment pipeline is a different job entirely. That gap is exactly what AWS SAM (Serverless Application Model) was built to close. As of August 2026,…
Cross-site scripting is still the most reported weakness class in the entire CVE database. A 2026 vulnerability statistics review put CWE-79 (XSS) at roughly 5,000-plus CVEs and a double-digit share of all disclosed flaws for the year, and a separate 2025 annual report counted more than 6,300 individual XSS-related CVEs. Output encoding and input sanitization…
Tim Cook worked his last day as Apple’s chief executive on August 31, 2026, closing out a 15-year run that turned the iPhone maker from a roughly $350 billion company into the second business in history to touch a $5 trillion market capitalization. John Ternus, Apple’s senior vice president of hardware engineering, takes over as…
A stolen laptop with an unencrypted drive hands over every file on it the moment someone pulls the SSD and plugs it into another machine. No password prompt, no login screen, nothing to bypass. Full-disk and file-level encryption close that gap, and in 2026 the tools to do it are free, built into every major…
