Samsung has started shipping the Portable SSD P9, a USB4 external drive the company calls the world’s first 8TB portable SSD built on that interface, with rated sequential speeds of up to 4,000 MB/s. The rollout, confirmed by Samsung’s own newsroom and Samsung Semiconductor’s global site, lands at an awkward moment for storage buyers: NAND…
AYANEO opened preorders on its cheapest handheld yet this week, and the bigger story isn’t the $79 price tag. It’s what the company left out of the pitch. When the AYANEO KONKR Pocket Block first surfaced in May 2026, it was billed as an “AI-powered” retro handheld. By the time it went up for preorder…
DOSBox Staging just crossed 1.8k stars on GitHub and ships a fresh Git build almost daily — the latest as of September 29, 2026 landed the same morning this guide was written.

OpenAI’s embeddings endpoint quietly became one of the most-used pieces of the entire API stack in 2026. Every retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline, every “chat with your docs” tool, and every recommendation engine built on top of GPT-6 Astra, Sol, or Luna leans on the same primitive underneath: a vector produced by text-embedding-3-small or text-embedding-3-large.

Corporate VPNs are dying a slow death, and the three companies racing to bury them just gave buyers a lot to think about in a single month. Twingate’s top self-serve tier, Business, is priced at $10 per user per month. Tailscale, meanwhile, quietly finished a shift from usage-based billing to flat per-seat pricing back in…
CONTROL Resonant has cleared a bar few big-budget action games manage in their first 48 hours: broad critical approval paired with a reception online that includes, oddly enough, players in piracy-focused communities telling each other to just buy it.
