6 fitness trackers that do something different — including the viral retro Casio with hidden depths, and a tracker with a 400-day battery

Image
Today's best smartwatches are ultra-capable, feature-packed powerhouses. But is it just me, or are they all starting to feel kinda samey? Casio recently made headlines with its delightfully retro F-B100W , which takes your classic, rubbery, blocky Casio watch and adds in step-counting features. That sent me off on a hunt for other smartwatches and fitness trackers that do something a bit different, and I was not disappointed with the results. I've rounded up my favorites below. There's the new-out Huawei Watch D3 , which looks like your standard, modern smartwatch, but has a secret, in-built blood pressure cuff. For those who prefer a traditional watch aesthetic, there are the Garmin Instinct Crossover and Withings Scanwatch 2 , both of which have smartwatch features but also mechanical hands. Neither is especially new, but both have maintained popularity by their seamless blending ...

Snap looks beyond its consumer business Snap's Specs glasses cost $2,195, putting the device into a category where business customers will need clear reasons to purchase it. The company says the glasses can support field technicians by displaying...

'Every solar plant is a latent data center': US startup plans to turn wasted solar energy into GPU-ready DCs in weeks, not years, without major water use

Image
Rune wants unused solar electricity powering GPUs instead of going to waste RELIC connects computing equipment directly to functioning solar generation sites The system operates without grid connections or conventional data center construction A San Francisco company named Rune has introduced a modular compute unit built to operate directly on unused solar power. Called RELIC, the equipment attaches to functioning solar installations without needing any connection to the electrical grid or new construction work. The launch came alongside a $40 million Series A financing round for Rune, lifting the firm's overall capital raised to $53.5 million total. Skipping the grid bottleneck Solar facilities routinely waste as much as 20% of the electricity they generate, adding up to more than 50 TWh yearly nationwide. RELIC pulls that idle current straight from the source, avoiding metering charges, uti...

China is readying the world's first giant submarine UAV carrier — built with a 1115ft dock, the unnamed mothership could be longer (and bigger) than WW2 light aircraft carriers and carry 148ft underwater drones

Satellite imagery shows China building a roughly ~200m ship in Shanghai that analysts say is a mothership for submarine-sized drones It pairs a bottom-opening well-deck and 12-arm cradle with an internal hangar that experts estimate holds four 115- to 148ft XXLUUVs While the ship itself is shorter than an Essex-class carrier, its dock clocks in at about 1,115ft China appears to be building a type of ship no navy is publicly known to operate: a large surface vessel designed to carry, launch, and recover uncrewed submarines the size of conventional crewed boats The hull was first posted on September 13 2026 by Japanese open-source analyst KAROTASU and assessed two days later by H I Sutton at Naval News . It currently sits at a dock at the Hudong-Zhonghua shipyard in Shanghai, and Beijing has yet to formally acknowledge its existence, so it has no name, list of capabilities, or the military branch ...

New Android malware can deploy AI to automate device control — and it can even bring itself back from the dead

Zimperium zLabs discovered RedHat , a Chinese‑origin Android banking trojan with AI assistant AI interprets screen layouts in real‑time, enabling credential theft and bypassing app redesigns Distributed via third‑party stores, social media, malvertising, and SMS; persistence blocks uninstall attempts There is an Android malware out there that comes with an AI assistant that tells it what to do. The assistant seems to be independent of the malware’s operator, allowing the tool to work without requiring the operators to be present in real-time. The malware in question is called RedHat. It was discovered by security researchers Zimperium zLabs, who believe it is of Chinese origin. It is currently being distributed via third-party app stores, social media, malvertising, and SMS spam, and requires Android’s Accessibility permissions to work. The malware itself is a typical banking trojan - it creates...

Nuri rocket launch heralds South Korea’s first microsatellite constallation — and shows it might have the technology to launch its own Starlink

The Nuri rocket is set to deploy 15 satellites following a planned launch on October 7 2026 Its payload consists its first five disaster response NEONSAT units, and 10 CubeSats The NEONSAT satellites will form the first half of a 10-strong microsatellite constellation, potentially laying the groundwork for a Starlink-style network for the country and beyond South Korea is preparing for the fifth launch of its Nuri rocket, which will have a 15-strong payload of NEONSATs and CubeSats, marking the first time the nation has deployed a microsatellite constellation. If successful, the launch could spearhead future projects that might even include a Starlink-like satellite internet service. Five NEONSATS and 10 CubeSats will be deployed by the Nuri rocket, which has a planned launch date of October 7, 2026. Once launched, the five NEONSATS will later be joined by a further five microsatellites. With the...

AMD could be working on an Nvidia DLSS 5 rival, but it'll be for next-gen RDNA 5 GPUs — and I've a feeling that may be too late

Image
AMD is rumored to be working on its own version of DLSS 5 A leaker says that the neural rendering tech will be launched with next-gen RDNA 5 GPUs That means we could be waiting until late 2027 or 2028 to see this debut, which might leave AMD lagging behind Nvidia considerably AMD could be working on its own take on Nvidia's DLSS 5 , and apparently this alternative attempt at neural rendering will be for its next-gen RDNA 5 graphics cards . VideoCardz spotted that a known leaker in the GPU field, Kepler L2, posted on the Anandtech forum in a discussion around RDNA 5 speculation to say that: "AMD will have their own version of 'Neural Lighting' like DLSS5 next-gen." Kepler then clarified that he didn't mean a version of Ray Reconstruction, but a take on DLSS 5 (neural rendering), and that next-gen RDNA 5 GPUs would be required because "this stuff is pretty heavy...

Iran snoops on enemies of the state with Chosen Brick malware controlled using messaging apps

UK NCSC, FBI, and Dutch AIVD warn Iran is using Chosen Brick malware against dissidents and journalists Malware steals files, captures audio, grabs WhatsApp/Telegram data, and can wipe systems entirely Operatives rely on social engineering; agencies urge awareness, MFA, updates, and endpoint monitoring Iranian hackers are targeting “enemies of the state”, both local and foreign, with advanced malware capable of spying on the victims and stealing their sensitive files, experts have warned. This is according to a new security advisory, published jointly by the UK National Cyber Security Centre, the FBI, and the Netherlands’ General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD), which noted how Iranian operatives would first do extensive research into their victims - dissidents, activists, and journalists - deemed a risk to the regime. After learning as much about their targets as possible, they reach o...

Vertical GPU, top-loading HDDs: Morefine's 4-bay NAS is unlike any AI workstation PC I've ever seen, thanks to a simple physics law

Image
Morefine MNAS-X1 stacks four hard drives directly above the processor to escape heat The MNAS-X1 packs an 800W power supply into a 15.6L chassis Four spring-latch drive bays let users swap storage without any tools Morefine has released an AI workstation PC that stacks its storage drives on top of the chassis instead of beside the processor. The MNAS-X1 arrives with a four-bay hard drive tray fixed directly above the motherboard rather than tucked beside it. This unusual layout follows a fairly straightforward principle, since warm air naturally rises while cool air tends to settle lower, keeping the drives clear of the hottest components below them. A candybar body built for drive swaps The chassis measures 218mm by 193mm by 372mm, giving a 15.6L footprint wrapped in a white aluminum alloy shell over a steel frame. A glossy purple panel breaks up the front, and vents line the left, right, rear, ...
