Notion’s integration with Anthropic apparently had a hiccup this weekend. Early Sunday morning, the company posted, “Anthropic’s Opus 4.7 and 4.8 models are experiencing degraded performance, which is causing a higher rate of failures for users selecting these models in Notion AI.” As a result, Notion said it was disabling use of “all Anthropic models” in its automated productivity tool. Twelve hours later, Notion’s head of product Max Schoening wrote that he was “astonished” at “the amount of people RT-ing this because they want a story around model quality to be the reason.” (According to the public stats on X,…

10 years ago, Sony announced its MDR-1000X noise-canceling headphones in a bid to challenge Bose and its QuietComfort lineup. And they did just that with the 1000X series going on to become synonymous with class-leading noise canceling and audio quality. With ten years under their belt, Sony decided to launch a special edition of its flagship ANC headphones dubbed Sony 1000X The Collexion. With a more premium build, custom drivers and sound tuning from mastering experts, these cans are clearly meant to stand out from the regular WH-1000XM6. But they also come with a $200/€200 price premium over said XM6s,…

That means turning ChatGPT into a gateway leading free users to products they might actually pay for, such as coding product Codex. In fact, the FT quotes one senior OpenAI employee as declaring, “Chat is dead.” Thibault Sottiaux, who leads OpenAI’s core…

Another week, another couple of foldable iPhone stories. The first is a big one, coming straight from Ice Universe; it’s a photo of the device in the wild. The photo shows the White/Silver finish of the inaugural foldable and confirms its stocky shape. Another rumor claims the foldable iPhone will have a vapor chamber for cooling. It’s not surprising, given that the iPhone Pro models have a vapor chamber. Motorola unveiled the Edge (2026) for the US and Canadian markets. The phone brings a smaller 6.3-inch display than its predecessor and will go on sale on June 11 with a…

If anything, 2026 has made clear that cybersecurity is no longer a background concern — it’s front and center, woven into almost every major story of the year. Yes, wars are still raging, the climate keeps worsening, and we’re seemingly one dodgy sneeze away from the next global pandemic. But running beneath all of it is a digital current that touches everything: wars being fought on digital fronts as well as physical ones, governments weaponizing citizens’ own data against them, botnets quietly undermining democratic institutions, nation-state hackers targeting civilian infrastructure from power grids to water systems, and ransomware gangs holding…

Motorola joined the flip foldable market pretty early on with the Razr 2019, a few months before Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip (a delayed launch meant that these two arrived very close together). However, Samsung had kicked things off with a book-style foldable the year before, while Motorola took this long to make its first. The Motorola Razr Fold is already available in multiple regions, starting with the UK and Europe, then India, the US and Canada.

Lectric eBikes, a Phoenix, Arizona-based company known for its practical and affordable XP series electric bikes, has launched three new brands so far this year — a Juiced Bikes relaunch, a new Juiced Powersports brand, and now a premium adventure brand called Monarc — an expansion strategy that runs counter to the wave of bankruptcies that have plagued the sector. Together, Lectric has put about $10 million toward these initiatives, CEO Levi Conlow told TechCrunch. “Others might be pulling back, or raising money, we’re actually deploying and investing into initiatives like this,” he said. “I actually don’t think the market…
