Artificial intelligenceGoogle is testing an AI health coach in the Fitbit* app to analyze activity and sleep, but users report frustration over its intrusive nature. Instead of adaptive recommendations, the algorithm comments on every action—from short walks to climbing stairs—turning a potentially useful tool into a source of irritation. Experts warn that excessive alerts reduce trust in genuinely important signals.

SecurityThe U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has launched a groundbreaking Cyber Range training complex in Huntsville, Alabama, designed to simulate a full-scale city for cyber threat response. Spanning over 22,000 square meters, the facility recreates residential buildings, a hospital, a gas station, a retail store, and even a small data center with 200 servers. All systems are isolated from external networks to prevent malware leaks.

SecurityThe U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in collaboration with Google and cybersecurity firm Black Lotus Labs, has dismantled Outsider Enterprise, a large-scale Chinese phishing platform. The service provided cybercriminals with ready-to-use tools for stealing credit card data and passwords, operating over a million fraudulent URLs. This operation, resulting from a lengthy investigation, successfully identified and blocked the platform's infrastructure.

SecurityUK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to announce a ban on social media access for children under 16. Reports suggest the initiative could be unveiled as early as next Monday. The proposed restrictions may apply to platforms like TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, Facebook, X, Threads, Snapchat, Twitch, and Kick. Similar measures are already in place in Australia, where teens require parental consent to register on these services. The move aims to address growing concerns over mental health risks and online safety for young users.

HardwareThe concept of a universal remote for home devices has long fascinated users: one device to replace a dozen. Logitech’s Harmony nearly achieved this goal, yet even its solution never gained mass-market traction. In a new *Version History* podcast episode, experts dissect why a once-revolutionary technology failed to dominate the market. Despite integrations with smart TVs and home systems, the universal remote remained a niche product rather than a standard. Harmony’s story is one of technical limitations and shifting user expectations.

HardwareFoldable smartphones have long ceased to be a novelty, but choosing between models in different price segments remains challenging. The 2026 Motorola Razr+ proves that a flagship experience doesn’t necessarily require a flagship price. After several weeks of testing, a ZDNet journalist concluded that the Razr+ offers nearly the same level of comfort and functionality as the pricier Razr Ultra, but at a significantly lower cost. This makes it the optimal choice for most users who aren’t willing to overpay for marketing-driven perks.

HardwareDespite their widespread use, lithium-ion batteries remain a source of risks, from e-bike fires to power bank explosions on airplanes. In 2025, nearly 1.9 million such devices were recalled in the U.S. due to fire hazards. The long-awaited alternative—solid-state batteries—is still not ready for mass production. However, a middle-ground solution has emerged: semi-solid gel batteries, combining safety and efficiency. These batteries address critical vulnerabilities while maintaining performance, offering a viable transition toward safer energy storage solutions.

HardwareResearchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have introduced an innovative approach to 3D printing metal alloys. The method employs elliptical laser trajectories to stir molten metal during printing, enabling the creation of custom alloys without equipment replacement. This breakthrough allows for the production of components with gradient properties, such as turbine blades, where material composition transitions smoothly without weld seams. The solution has been practically tested and requires no hardware modifications—only a software update is needed.
