The Clicks Communicator is the phone I look forward to most in 2026. It’ll be out before the end of the year, but the company just showed off a working version of the $500 smartphone with a physical keyboard for the first time. The brand-new Android phone, announced in January, has a physical keyboard that gives off Blackberry and Palm Treo vibes. The Communicato is made by Clicks, the company behind phone keyboard cases, and is positioned as the remedy for the constant attention our smartphones seem to demand. Every aspect of the phone has been considered to prioritize the messaging and typing experience above…

Spotify has the upper hand out of all the best music streaming services because of its hyper-personalized feed and social features, but its app design isn’t the greatest.I’m not the first power user to call out the platform for its stuffy and, at times, unorganized layout. The ‘Your Library’ section, for example, is a cluster of your recent activity, which you can only rearrange using the filters at the top of the screen — full customization is out of the question.After using Spotify alongside Apple Music, there’s no comparison — the latter packs a simple and concise interface, with a…

Here’s the bottom line: If you’re looking for a handy device that can blow-clean your keyboard, computer, car’s dashboard, and whatnot, the SABRENT Blowzer X6 delivers! This thing really blows! Get one today! The SABRENT BLOWzer X6…

Federal authorities are offering a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to the identification or location of a Russian state cyber group that has compromised thousands of Signal and WhatsApp accounts belonging to investigative reporters and US government employees. The operation has been active since at least March, when the FBI published an advisory warning of ongoing phishing campaigns targeting high-value targets by attackers associated with Russian intelligence services. Messages masquerading as automated support communications ask that users click a link or provide verification codes or account passcodes. In the event the user complies, they unknowingly link…

Some of Apple’s corporate secrets aren’t so secret any more. onapalmtree/Shutterstock On top of leaks around its next smartphone generation, Apple has had sensitive details about its manufacturing processes revealed. Reuters reported that the documents posted on “the dark web” allegedly show information about both components and their suppliers for the iPhone 18 Pro. The leak included specifics on hundreds of parts, such as chips on the main circuit board and elements of the smartphone’s battery and cameras, according to the publication. Last week, AppleInsider first reported on the cyberattack, which took more than 630GB of…

The internet was built on the assumption that there’s a human being on the other side of every screen. That assumption is no longer true. According to Cloudflare’s Radar platform, agentic AI bots now generate 57.4% of all web requests globally, while humans account for just 42.6%—a milestone reached far sooner than almost anyone expected. Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince had predicted bots would surpass human traffic by 2027. Instead, that crossover happened this month.”Welp, that happened faster than I predicted,” Prince said in a post on X on June 3. “Thought it would be [at the] end of 2027, then early…

“It’s myopic in the extreme to think that no other competitors to Anthropic will develop similar capabilities to Mythos or even that they have not already done so,” says Tarah Wheeler, chief security officer of the specialized cybersecurity consulting firm TPO Group. “There are other companies hot on Anthropic’s heels who probably have the capabilities, too, and are holding them in reserve as they see how Anthropic is being treated in the current regulatory environment.” Anthropic itself has emphasized this point since the launch of Mythos Preview. “The real message is that this is not about the model or Anthropic,”…

These little tricks will help you spend more time driving instead of charging. Modern electric vehicles have come a long way since range anxiety was an actual concern. These days, EV makers have to clear an EPA-verified range of at least 300 miles to be taken seriously. Sorry, Fiat 500e. Some EVs even boast a range closer to 500 miles. Still, for longer road trips or if you plan to be passing through an EV charging desert, it might make sense to try some techniques to squeeze a little more range out of your EV’s battery. Beyond the typical ways to…

July is when Samsung Messages stops working, and for anyone still using the app as their primary texting platform, that’s no longer a future problem. It’s a this-week problem. Samsung announced the US shutdown months ago, and the migration path has always been clear: Google Messages is the destination, and the process is straightforward. What isn’t automatic is your text history. Conversations, RCS threads and message archives don’t transfer on their own, and once the app goes dark, whatever didn’t make it over isn’t coming back.Lithium-ion batteries don’t fail all at once. Instead, they erode. Each charge cycle, each hour…
