I have reviewed, compact-sized gaming keyboards like AJAZZ AK680 MAX and Epomaker HE68. These are small and compact and provide an amazing gaming experience, but this time I have something way smaller than compact from MechLands. The AULA Win68 HE Series gaming keyboard is a 65% layout keyboard with advanced magnetic switches, an 8000 Hz polling rate, and south-facing RGB backlighting. One thing I want to clear up is that this is not a wireless or Bluetooth connection; it’s a weird gaming keyboard that you get at a price of $50. Unboxing In the box you get the AULA Win6…

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has hinted that advertising could eventually come to ChatGPT, though he acknowledges the unique challenges of integrating marketing into an AI known for hallucinations. Altman’s Take: “I’m Not Totally Against Ads” In the debut episode of OpenAI’s podcast, Altman shared his nuanced stance: “People have a very high degree of trust in ChatGPT, which is interesting because AI hallucinates. It should be the tech that you don’t trust that much,” Altman remarked—a startling admission from the head of the world’s most prominent AI company. The Core Challenge: Hallucinations vs. Brand Safety While LLMs like ChatGPT are inherently…

Samsung is quietly working on its next budget smartphone champion, as firmware files for the Galaxy A07 (model SM-A075F) have appeared on the company’s servers. This follows the tremendous success of its predecessor – the Galaxy A06 ranked as the world’s sixth best-selling phone in Q1 2025, outperforming even premium models like the Galaxy S25 Ultra. What We Know About the Upcoming Galaxy A07 Why This Matters Samsung’s A0-series has become a global sales phenomenon: Competitive Landscape While leaks suggest the A07 will use 4G connectivity, rivals like Xiaomi and Realme are pushing 5G into the sub-$200 range. However, Samsung’s brand loyalty and optimized One UI have kept its…

A new study reveals a glaring gap in corporate AI adoption: 42% of companies don’t trust their AI models’ outputs, yet only 58% have proper data observability systems in place. The findings, from data management firm Ataccama, suggest that unreliable AI performance may stem from unstructured, unmonitored data—not flawed algorithms. The Trust Problem Many businesses treat data oversight as an afterthought, applying observability tools reactively rather than proactively. This leads to fragmented governance, with siloed or low-quality data undermining AI reliability. As Ataccama CPO Jay Limburn notes, companies have “invested in tools but haven’t operationalized trust.” Effective programs require automated checks embedded across the entire data pipeline—from ingestion to…

The FBI has issued an urgent bulletin about a new wave of SMS scams impersonating state DMVs, with victims already reported in Tennessee, Texas, and Florida. These fraudulent texts steal payment details through fake toll notices – here’s what you need to know. How the Scam Works (Real Examples) Memphis resident Mark R. (name withheld) shared his experience: “I got a text saying I owed $12.80 for a Dallas toll road I’ve never driven on. The link looked real until I saw ‘TxD0T.net’ instead of ‘TxDOT.gov’.” The scam follows this pattern: 3 Ways to Spot Fake DMV Texts What to Do If You’re…

Previously I reviewed the MechLands Blade75, which is a 75% compact but heavy gaming keyboard. Now I have its predecessor, a full-sized Blade101. It has tri-mode connectivity and 4000mAh+4000mAh. Huge battery, double-shot PBT keycaps with numpads, and aluminum build. Let’s see if the compact version is the best or the Blade101 and which you should get at $93. Unboxing The Box of MechLands Blade101 is super cool, and when I opened it first, I got the keyboard itself packed with full safety, and then I had a manual, and in a small box, I got keycaps and also got extra…

The iPhone 16e marks a significant shift from Apple’s previous SE models. Unlike its predecessors, which were definitively budget-friendly, this new iteration starts at $599 making it far from cheap. In fact, the model I’ve been testing costs $900, placing it in a completely different category. While it remains the least expensive new iPhone available, its higher price tag makes it much harder to recommend. A Shift in Identity Previous iPhone SE models followed a simple formula an older body with a new chip, making them an easy recommendation for most people parents, kids, first-time iPhone users, or anyone upgrading…

Apple recently launched the iPhone 16e, a supposedly more affordable version of its flagship lineup. Now, it’s Google’s turn to take a swing at a budget-friendly flagship alternative with the Pixel 9a priced at £500 in the UK or $500 in the US. It’s slightly cheaper than the iPhone 16e but is it actually any good? After using the Pixel 9a as my daily driver for over a week, here’s my in-depth review. Design and Build Quality As someone with smaller hands, I’m still a bit disappointed that the Pixel 9a has grown slightly compared to its predecessor, the Pixel…

Apple is bringing its Self-Service Repair program to iPads, giving users access to official manuals, tools, and genuine parts for DIY fixes. Starting today, owners of the iPad Air (M2 and later), iPad Pro (M4), iPad mini (A17 Pro), and iPad (A16) can order components like displays, batteries, cameras, and charging ports.

Apple also expanded its Genuine Parts Distributor program,…

The Nintendo Switch 2 will support USB mouse input for at least one game, as revealed in a developer demo for Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening Complete Edition. Koei Tecmo’s producer Michi Ryu plugged in a standard USB mouse during gameplay, and the console immediately recognized it—allowing seamless switching between the mouse and a Joy-Con 2 controller. While the original Switch had limited mouse and keyboard support (used in games like Turok), Nintendo appears to be expanding compatibility this time. A recent video on the Nintendo Today app also showed Joy-Con 2’s “mouse mode” working in the system menu, suggesting broader pointer-based navigation. However,…
