On Thursday morning, I attended a Q&A panel with four top Samsung smartphone executives. Until 2025, Samsung was the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer, and by association, the world’s largest maker of cameras. It’s still the second largest after Apple. Samsung handed me the microphone first. I asked: We see a divide in society between people […]

The tenth generation starter Pokémon were revealed in the trailer: Browt (a grass bird), Pombon (a fire puppy), and Gecqua (a water gecko).
OpenAI shared the new numbers as part of its announcement that it has raised $110 billion in private funding.
AI firms, to manage the Pentagon’s classified data, saw the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) approve the iPhone and iPad for handling some of its confidential information. In a press announcement from Apple, the company stated that these common consumer technology devices are the first to receive authorization for use with classified data, provided they operate within NATO’s controlled settings, meaning they must adhere to certain security configurations on iPhone and iPad devices.
Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has validated Apple’s iPhone and iPad devices, as long as they are equipped with Apple’s latest mobile operating software, including iOS 26 and iPadOS 26. What adds intrigue to this announcement is the fact that no additional security measures (like specialized software or extra hardware) are required beyond iOS for NATO members to access that data. It’s crucial to understand that this does not imply that an individual’s personal iPhone or iPad will gain access to the data.
iPhone and iPad devices operating on iOS 26 can retrieve documents categorized up to NATO Restricted, which is the lowest of the four levels of classified data recognized by the organization. In simpler terms, this indicates that unauthorized access could pose a risk to NATO’s interests, but it would not be deemed extremely harmful if disclosed. These documents typically disclose details regarding operational planning, internal reports, specific logistics information, security protocols, and some communications among member nations.

The Steam Deck, Valve’s well-known handheld gaming device, is facing a notable price surge in Asian markets, especially in Japan. Komodo, Valve’s authorized distributor in these areas, has revealed a $100 increase across all models, set to take effect on March 6. This change is linked to escalating shipping and logistics expenses, along with fluctuations in currency, rather than a direct consequence of RAM costs. Nevertheless, the larger scenario of AI-influenced demand impacting supply chains, particularly in memory and GPUs, should not be overlooked. With DRAM prices already climbing, the higher cost of the Steam Deck might indicate a trend of rising expenses within the gaming console sector, potentially affecting global pricing down the line.
HDMI (which stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface) ports generally facilitate video playback on the factory infotainment system, but they usually necessitate that the vehicle be in park. So, what was the reason for including HDMI ports in these vehicles initially?
While Honda wasn’t the sole manufacturer to equip its cars with HDMI ports, this feature was prevalent in the automaker’s lineup around 2010. Instead of serving entertainment purposes, the integration of HDMI ports seems to have been linked to a pre-Android Auto and Apple CarPlay system designed to replicate your phone’s functionalities on the vehicle’s infotainment screen. Reports indicate that this feature received various responses, and it’s clear it didn’t gain traction, as evidenced by the current popularity of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
