A 12-inch MacBook is the only affordable Mac I want from Apple

Rumors that Apple might make an affordable, multi-colored MacBook based on the A18 Pro chip sparked considerable excitement and ignited a hope in me and others that it could mark the return of the 12-inch MacBook. Unveiled a decade ago, the gold-finished 2-lb, full-sized keyboard-sporting MacBook was, for its time, an engineering marvel. Apple arguably rewrote its laptop playbook to create the system. Shortly after launch, I spoke to the marketing head Phil Schiller and Apple's Mac and iPad lead (and now Apple's senior vice president of Hardware Engineering) John Ternus about all Apple did to make the portable wonder . The pair spread out before me things like a multi-tiered battery and something called the "speaktenna", which was basically a combination of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antennas and a speaker system. "We ended up with a group of antenna engineers who know more about speakers than any other antenna engineers and a group of speaker engineers who knew m...

This worrying Bluetooth security flaw could let hackers spy on your device via microphone

Image
Security researchers found three medium-severity flaws in Bluetooth SoCs When chained, they can be used to eavesdrop on conversations, and more Patches are being developed, so be on your guard Security researchers have uncovered three vulnerabilities in a Bluetooth chipset present in dozens of devices from multiple manufacturers. The vulnerabilities, they say, can be exploited to eavesdrop on people’s conversations, steal call history and contacts information, and possibly even deploy malware on vulnerable devices. However, exploiting the flaws for these purposes is quite difficult, so practical implementation of the bugs remains rather debatable.

Apple could launch a cut-price MacBook powered by an iPhone chip, new report claims – here’s why that would be a massive hit

Image
Apple’s MacBook range offers some of the best laptops money can buy, and there’s no doubt that they’re premium offerings across the board. That focus on high-end quality means they don’t come cheap, but there are whispers now that Apple might be about to change its tune. That’s because reputable tech analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has just floated the idea that Apple is working on a much more affordable laptop to appeal to people put off by its devices’ high prices. According to Kuo, it could launch as soon as next year. By the sound of it, the key factor in cutting the price of this MacBook will be the chip. Kuo’s report states that instead of a Mac-grade M-series chip, this 2026 laptop will come outfitted with an A18 chip that you’ll find in the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus phones. And if you need more proof, MacRumors claims it found backend code referencing a Mac with an A18 Pro chip. Premium positioning (Image credit: Future) Apple has long positioned itself as a purveyo...

Insider risk on the rise as survey finds 50% of employees have too much privileged access - and AI will make it far worse

Half of employees hold excessive rights across AI and SaaS estates, CloudEagle report finds Invisible IT hides 60% of apps undermining traditional identity controls Study recommends AI governance plus just in time access and reviews Half of enterprise staff now hold excessive privileges to critical applications, new research has claimed. CloudEagle.ai’s latest identity governance report surveyed 1,000 CIOs and CISOs and found 60% of SaaS and AI tools sit outside IT’s oversight. Invisible IT is expanding insider risk, driving breaches, audit failures, and compliance headaches, the report says. Privilege creep It found 70% of leaders listed unsanctioned AI tools as a leading data worry, while 48% admitted former staff still hold access, even months after leaving. Privilege creep is common, yet only five percent of organizations actively enforce least privilege settings, and just fifteen percent use just in time access company wide, despite mounting proof that temporary creden...

I tried to make an immersive smart lighting gaming desk setup and failed horribly – here's why

Image
I wouldn't call myself a flashy person, but when it comes to smart lighting, I'm prepared to go all-out. In my home, I'm using everything from standing lamps like Philips Hue's Signe gradient lamp and TV backlight to the Govee Table Lamp 2 to give my home lighting some pizzazz. Until recently, my setup included my beloved Nanoleaf black hexagon wall panels, which served both as traditional and immersive smart lighting when hooked up to my PC via the Nanoleaf Desktop app, in addition to the remote controls afforded by the mobile app. Unfortunately, my new digs don't afford me the wallspace for these, so I was excited to see if Nanoleaf's latest gaming release, the Pegboard Desk Dock , would suitably fill the RGB-shaped void in my life. Would that it were so simple. I didn't peg you as a quitter I'm in the throes of reviewing Nanoleaf's Pegboard Desk Dock, so this is far from a final verdict, but my early impressions tell a cautionary tale for...

After years of using Things 3, iOS 26 could move me to Reminders

WWDC 2025 is in the rear-view mirror, and it’d be fair to say there was plenty to get excited about, even with Apple (wisely) sidestepping its wider Apple Intelligence upgrades . iPad getting true window management was a great addition , while the new design language across all platforms is sure to be a big focus come September. But relatively tucked away, almost as a footnote, was the promise of more features to come to Reminders - and seeing those features arrive might actually get me to move away from Things 3 . Let me explain. Here’s the Thing Cultured Code’s 'Things' app is, as anyone who uses it will tell you, the holy grail of UI design. It’s a task manager that looks so good, even Apple itself couldn’t have done a better job, and it’s been my go-to organizational tool for the best part of a decade. It's a powerful tool for anyone using one of the best MacBooks and Macs - or any Apple device, for that matter. I use the app on my Mac, my iPad, my iPhone, and ...

Millions of Windows 10 business devices haven't been updated to Windows 11, says survey - here's what you should do to secure yours

Enterprise readiness for Windows 11 is improving but still uneven, says new report Healthcare and finance sectors lag in upgrading outdated hardware Migration is slowest in Americas despite most devices being upgrade-ready Millions of enterprise devices are still running Windows 10, even as Microsoft’s deadline to end support for the OS approaches. According to ControlUp’s latest Windows 11 Readiness report, half of all business-managed Windows devices have not yet made the switch. That number reflects progress from last year, when over 80% of enterprise machines were still on Windows 10, but with support ending on October 14, 2025, time is running out for organizations still lagging behind. Wide variation across industries “While the 50% completion mark is a major milestone, it's not time to relax,” said Marcel Calef, Americas Field CTO at ControlUp. “Many enterprises still face hardware and planning challenges.” The report analyzed over one million devices and found w...

Mr Hamza, Mysterious Team Bangladesh, and Keynous+ led a massive surge in DDoS on US businesses following an attack on Iran

Mr. Hamza claimed over half the strikes in a coordinated wave of digital retaliation Hacktivists redirected fury from Israel to America in a stunning 48-hour escalation U.S. military-linked manufacturers became primary targets in a pointed cyber warning shot An abrupt and massive rise in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against U.S. businesses has coincided with Washington’s involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict. According to Radware’s Director of Threat Intelligence, Pascal Geenens, between June 21 and 22, 2025, hacktivist-led DDoS claims surged by 800%. This dramatic increase was paralleled by a 900% drop in attacks against Israel, suggesting a deliberate redirection of focus away from Israel and toward its most prominent ally. Key groups behind the DDoS escalation The spike in cyber hostility has been attributed largely to the actions of a few specific threat groups. Mr. Hamza, a hacktivist group known for its cyberattacks, was responsible for more than half...

JCB debuts trio of Android rugged smartphones with midrange features - but I fear it won't be affordable enough to bother rivals

JCB’s rugged phone trio enters a saturated market with a price that raises eyebrows JCB Toughphone P20's thermal camera is unique, but won’t matter much to everyday users Midrange specs and premium pricing put the JCB M20 and E10 in a tight spot JCB has introduced three Android rugged smartphones , targeting field professionals in industries such as construction and logistics. The most advanced of the trio, the Toughphone P20, arrives with Android 14, a 6.6-inch 120Hz Full HD+ display, and a MediaTek MT6877 chipset coupled with 12GB RAM and 512GB of internal storage, expandable up to 1TB. But with a launch price of £649 (€649), it lands in a territory already contested by better-known and, in some cases, more affordable rivals. Niche features may not justify a premium price On paper, the Toughphone P20 appears to be built to last. Its 10,000mAh battery supports up to 40 hours of talk time and 50 days of standby, while also offering powerbank functionality. JCB claims it...

The best TV show on Prime Video? I can’t stop coming back to this comfortingly cringey comedy series from the 2000s

Image
Some TV shows are like comfort food, and for me, there’s no show more comforting than Peep Show. The British sitcom from the early 2000s has been my go-to whenever I don’t know what to watch for quite some time now, and for good reasons. For the uninitiated, Peep Show follows the miseries of self-doubting, uptight loan manager called Mark Corrigan (David Mitchell), who rents a room in his South London flat to Jeremy Usbourne (Robert Webb), aka Jez, an overconfident and impulsive musician. Together, they stumble, blindly through day-to-day life, usually ending up in a desperate situation of their own making. There’s something weirdly cozy about watching two awkward flatmates spiral through life’s small humiliations, especially when their internal monologues are so brutally honest – and endlessly quotable. I’m not ashamed to admit that I often find myself referencing memorable lines from the series. Don’t believe me? Given that I’m writing about a TV show, I can’t help but think ab...

Microsoft's rekindling of Three Mile Island nuclear plant is ahead of schedule

Three Mile Island nuclear plant looks to be ahead of scheduling, opening in 2027 (not 2028) Microsoft has a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement on the site Other AI companies are investing in nuclear, too The Three Mile Island nuclear power plant could restart as soon as 2027 – a year ahead of its original reopening date of 2028 – but with a key difference compared to its former life. Only Unit 1 will be restarted, because it was not involved in the 1979 meltdown, which affected Unit 2. Although Unit 1 remained open following the incident, it was shut down in 2019 due to economic reasons (not safety concerns). This time around, it's set to be operated by Microsoft, following the company's deal on a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA), signed in September 2024, in conjunction with Constellation Energy. Microsoft is reviving the Three Mile Island nuclear plant Microsoft is specifically interested in this nuclear plant because of its rising energy consumption and surging...

Anker's extraordinary 3D printer has become the most popular campaign ever on Kickstarter, with nearly $45 million pledged

Anker EufyMake E1 prints up to 5mm thick textures using UV-curable ink, not filament Over $45 million raised on Kickstarter makes the E1 the most funded project to date EufyMake E1 supports over 300 materials, including metal, leather, and curved surfaces Anker’s latest foray into creative tools has unexpectedly taken Kickstarter by storm with its new device, the EufyMake E1, generating nearly $45 million in pledges with days still left in its campaign, making it the most funded Kickstarter project to date. Developed under Anker’s Eufy sub-brand, the E1 is being marketed as the world’s first personal 3D-texture UV printer. While excitement among backers is undeniable, the real question is whether this all-in-one 3D printer machine can live up to its extraordinary promise. A different take on home 3D printing Unlike a typical home 3D printer, the EufyMake E1 doesn’t work with filament to build objects - instead, it uses UV-curable ink and a process Anker calls Amass3D techno...

Good tech doesn’t have to be boring – from headphones to smart lights, here are my top 6 recommendations for colorful tech that'll stand out from the crowd

Image
They say fortune favors the bold, so why not rebel from cookie-cutter colorways and mix things up with some eye-catching tech instead? As a self-confessed color addict, I often find myself drawn to products rocking vibrant hues. But, experience has taught me that looks aren't everything, and no matter how pretty something may be, I'll soon tire of it if it proves inefficient. To save others the trial and error, I've collated a list of six of our favorite products across a range of categories that not only performed well, but boast aesthetically pleasing colorways that'll satisfy those color cravings too. Gamakay TK75 V2 (Image credit: Future) The Gamakay TK75 V2 keyboard is a well-built and well-performing mechanical keyboard that offers multiple wireless connectivity modes and a good level of customization for the $89.99 / £75 / $AU148 price tag. Our reviewer was impressed by the performance of the Pegasus switches, describing them as ultra-quiet and smoo...

Intel set to transfer marketing jobs to an AI which could ironically be running on Intel processors

Intel will outsource marketing roles to Accenture and artificial intelligence Company CEO Lip-Bu Tan pushes structural cuts to speed up operations Marketing staff may help train replacements as layoffs are planned Intel has begun informing its marketing staff that many of their roles will be outsourced to Accenture, which will use artificial intelligence to manage parts of Intel’s marketing efforts, potentially powered by Intel’s own processors. This move is part of CEO Lip-Bu Tan ’s broader plan to overhaul operations, cut costs, and speed up decision-making. Intel revealed its plans with a statement describing Accenture as “a longtime partner and trusted leader,” and said it is expanding that relationship, with affected employees notified by July 11. Significant changes to team structures “The transition of our marketing and operations functions will result in significant changes to team structures, including potential headcount reductions, with only lean teams remaining,” ...
