Laden with iconic Royal Oak design cues, most notably the octagonal case, eight-screw bezel, and Petite Tapisserie-patterned dial, the strapless design heavily references 1979’s Royal Oak Pocket Watch reference 5691. Inside is an entirely new hand-wound version of Swatch’s Sistem51 caliber, a movement that is completely machine assembled.

There’s even an antimagnetic Nivachron balance spring that was, incidentally, codeveloped with Audemars Piguet.Swatch’s 1986 POP line, whose watch heads could be physically ejected from their frames and clipped elsewhere, has been plundered…

In a now-viral post on X that parodies the old Mac vs. PC commercials, the venture firm — better known as GC — posted a “VC vs GC” video on Wednesday. The VC was played by a tall actor in a baggy shirt and vest with a distinctly large, bald head — an apparent dig at Andreessen Horowitz co-founder Marc Andreessen. (But the real Andreessen never looks that disheveled). The GC character was played by a man with a thick head…

This week’s deals feature a mix of familiar phones and a few new arrivals. At this point, it would be more surprising if Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series and Google’s Pixel 10 lineup weren’t on sale. We’ve also got a couple of Xiaomi phones, the Motorola Edge 70, and Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge on sale. Just like last week, the Samsung Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra are available at a discount. While the savings are relatively modest, £100 off at checkout is pretty neat for smartphones that have only been on the market for a few months. …

The shock of seeing your body used in deepfake porn When Jennifer got a research job in 2023, she ran her new professional headshot through a facial recognition program. She wanted to see whether it would pull up the porn videos she’d made more than a decade earlier. It did, but it also surfaced something she’d never seen before: one of her old videos, now featuring someone else’s face on her body. Conversations about sexualized deepfakes…
