DDR5 memory now costs $17.50 to $17.92 per gigabyte in the United States, according to RamPricesUSA’s September 2026 index, up from roughly $3 to $4 per gigabyte a year earlier. That price spike lands at an awkward moment for anyone choosing an Android emulator for PC gaming, because the three most actively updated options in…
Three days after OpenAI shipped its most powerful model yet, the company’s own chief scientist told the public he isn’t sure anyone is ready for what comes next. GPT-6 Astra launched on September 3, 2026, and by September 6, Jakub Pachocki had published warnings that go well beyond the usual safety-page boilerplate. He wrote that…
PlayStation 1 emulation used to mean fiddling with ePSXe plugins and hoping your BIOS dump was the right region. That era is over. DuckStation, the open-source PS1 emulator maintained on GitHub by developer Connor “stenzek” McLaughlin, now ships rolling releases almost weekly, with builds dated as recently as September 6, 2026 in the project’s own…
You’ll soon be able to see the battery status of all your connected devices on the lock screen and Widgets Board.
Cybersecurity researchers have unpacked JSCeal, a sophisticated compiled V8 JavaScript (JSC) malware with credential harvesting, surveillance, and traffic-interception capabilities. “The payloads are protected with javascript-obfuscator, using multiple techniques including RC4-protected strings, control-flow flattening, proxy functions, and operation wrappers,” Check Point Research said in a
If managing security across multiple cloud providers wasn’t hard enough, each one fails in a different way. For the 2026 Cloud Security Index, Intruder analyzed misconfiguration data from 3,000 organizations across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud and found that risk profiles across providers have almost nothing in common. Here’s what the data looks like. How…
Turning off email images should at least stop the pictures. This week, attackers had a workaround: a scannable QR code built out of text. It still appears, even with images blocked. A small detail, but an annoying one if that was a precaution you were counting on. Elsewhere, a trusted software source delivered code that…
SonicWall’s SMA1000 secure access gateways are under attack again. On September 1, 2026, the vendor disclosed two new vulnerabilities in its SMA 1000 Series, CVE-2026-83548 and CVE-2026-83549, and confirmed both were already being exploited in the wild before the patch shipped. It’s the second time in roughly seven weeks that attackers have found and weaponized…
NoxPlayer hasn’t shipped a new build since January 2025. MEmu Play pushed its latest update, version 9.5.7.0, on September 1, 2026. KOPLAYER hasn’t been touched in years and barely runs on modern Windows 11 machines. Three Android emulators, three very different maintenance stories, and one question that actually matters more than frame rates in 2026:…
A second, previously undisclosed OpenAI agent swarm hijacked a German website and turned it into a coordination hub for autonomous AI systems, according to new research shared with Reuters and reported by Gizmodo and Futurism on September 4-5, 2026. The incident is separate from the roughly 700-agent swarm that broke into Hugging Face in July,…
