Mikko Hyppönen is pacing back and forth on the stage, with his trademark dark blonde ponytail resting on an impeccable teal suit. A seasoned speaker, he is trying to make an important point to a room full of fellow hackers and security researchers at one of the industry’s global annual meet-ups. “I often call this ‘cybersecurity Tetris’,” he tells the audience with a serious face, reeling off the rules of the classic video game. When you complete a whole line of bricks, the row vanishes, leaving the rest of the bricks to fall into a new line. “So your successes…

This week, Amazon UK is offering vouchers to reduce the prices of the 512GB variants of the three Galaxy S26 phones. But first, here’s an interesting situation – the Google Pixel 10 costs the same as the Galaxy S25. Look closely, though – this is for a 256GB Pixel and only a 128GB Galaxy. Of course, the Galaxy S25 is last year’s model and is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite. That still handily beats Google’s Tensor G5, though. Galaxy S25’s replacement, the Galaxy S26, uses an Exynos 2600. Speaking of, the S26 has a massive…

Who doesn’t love a good round of FOMO? From dot-com to Web 2.0, virtual reality to blockchain, the tech industry has had its share of being too afraid to miss out on a trend.

If FOMOs could have babies, then the AI bubble is already having grandkids. Microsoft said on Tuesday that it’s working with Chevron and Engine No. 1 to build a natural…

According to a tipster on Weibo, both the Xiaomi 18 Pro and the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will keep the rear display. Not just that, but an “AI-powered smart window” (machine translated from Chinese) will be available for it. We can’t tell you what it will do, but it does mean Xiaomi is still investing in equipping the rear screen with more functionality, which is a good sign that…

Oppo is launching the Find X9 Ultra globally on April 21. Ahead of that, today a global version of the device has been spotted in the Geekbench online database with the model number CPH2841.
