Summary Windows 11 previews a quick-settings dark mode toggle hidden in a new Energy Saver taskbar panel. It was found by an eagle-eyed insider in the preview builds; it’s currently hidden and works only on battery devices. Microsoft may expand Energy Saver options to desktops before its public rollout. Personally, when I install a new operating system, my first port of call is to find the dark mode button, hit it, and leave it like that until either I uninstall the OS or my computer dies. I understand that there are some benefits to light mode that some people rely…
You may have come across debates on social media platforms and forums about whether Google’s NotebookLM is as useful as people think. While it may continue forever, no one can deny that the AI tool is a productivity booster, as it saves time creating and organizing notes and documents. What also draws users’ attention to it is that Google is making significant changes to the platform at a rapid pace. A few days ago, we reported that Google is working on a couple of new features to help users quickly find the notebooks they are looking for. While these are…
The new Google Pixel 10a makes a few compromises this year, perhaps the biggest being that it’s no longer powered by Google’s latest yearly flagship processor. Instead of the latest Tensor G5, the Pixel 10a settles for last year’s Tensor G4 processor. Those hoping for a bit more performance on a budget will no doubt be disappointed.To be fair to the 10a, the Tensor G4 was a flagship-tier processor (of sorts) just last year and is certainly no slouch for daily tasks. However, this means that the Pixel 10a is no faster than its predecessor, at least on paper. This…
Developers and analysts are using more AI tools to produce code and to test both the performance and security of the finished products. They are also embedding AI functionality in their products directly. But just how secure are these AI tools and routines themselves? Recent reports show they suffer from vulnerabilities just like any other code. For example, Google recently provided an update for CVE-2026-0628, associated with Gemini AI implemented in the Chrome browser. This elevation of privilege vulnerability, rated High with a CVSS of 8.8, was recently reported in detail by Palo Alto Networks security research team. Per Palo…

Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.High-refresh-rate gaming monitors are getting faster every year, but a 480Hz OLED panel still feels like a technical flex—and the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP is one such example. This 27-inch OLED gaming monitor is currently $662.36 on Amazon, down from its usual $799 price, and price trackers show that’s the lowest it has dropped so far. It sits in a very small group of monitors built around a 1440p panel with a 480Hz refresh rate, competing with models like…
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) confirmed on Thursday that it’s investigating a breach that affected systems used to manage surveillance and wiretap warrants. While the federal law enforcement agency declined to share more details regarding the incident’s scope and overall impact, it said that the incident has already been addressed. “The FBI identified and addressed suspicious activities on FBI networks, and we have leveraged all technical capabilities to respond,” the law enforcement agency told BleepingComputer, but declined to provide additional information. On Thursday, CNN, which first reported the incident, cited an anonymous source saying the breach affected FBI systems used…
I first had solar panels installed on my rooftop nearly a decade ago. I’ve moved since then and have had them installed on my new home as well. At this point, I’m now familiar with having panels installed and what it’s like using them. Here’s what I’ve learned along the way. The angle and direction of your roof matters more than you think Solar panels want to face south When we installed solar panels on our new home, we purchased a system that was slightly under twice the size of our first, but it ended up producing nearly two and…
A top Pentagon official said Anthropic’s dispute with the government over the use of its artificial intelligence technology in fully autonomous weapons came after a debate over how AI could be used in President Donald Trump’s future Golden Dome missile defense program, which aims to put U.S. weapons in space. U.S. Defense Undersecretary Emil Michael, the Pentagon’s chief technology officer, said he came to view the AI company’s ethical restrictions on the use of its chatbot Claude as an irrational obstacle as the U.S. military pursues giving greater autonomy to swarms of armed drones, underwater vehicles and other machines to…
Netflix has been streaming movies and TV shows for almost 20 years at this point, and has built up an enormous catalog of licensed and original content. Whether you want to watch a western, a detective series, a supernatural drama, or anything else you could imagine, there are multiple titles on Netflix that fit the bill. In fact, there are so many that asking you to scroll through all of them yourself is asking too much. That’s where Netflix categories come in. You’ll see these on your Netflix whenever you log in. Usually they’re pretty self-explanatory: “Comic Book and Superhero…
