Computex is always chaotic, and Computex 2026 kept the same pace. This year’s show had the usual parade of powerful laptops, overbuilt gaming rigs, and the fun, if not strange, prototypes. AI was everywhere, handheld gaming got a serious power boost, and even monitor makers came ready with displays that sound like they were pulled from a wishlist. That’s why we’ve put together our Computex 2026 Publisher Awards, spotlighting the products that pushed the show forward. NVIDIA RTX Spark The most important announcement at Computex 2026 was NVIDIA RTX Spark. Yes, the AI PC label is starting to sound like…

Apple announced the upcoming iOS 27 update at its Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday. While the company announced that the next iOS version will be compatible with devices reaching back to the iPhone 11, the move feels underwhelming for people with older devices, thanks to one wrinkle.WWDC was focused on the integration of AI into Apple’s digital assistant Siri. The company spent about 25 minutes on platform improvements and privacy combined, then almost double that on Siri and Apple Intelligence. And while Apple said the digital assistant can help you in more areas on your iPhone, it didn’t expand on…

Dyson’s vacuum lineup had a new look planned for this year. Some of the vacuums have already arrived, like the Dyson PencilVac and Dyson Spot+Scrub robot vacuum, but others we’ve still been waiting to see. That wait is over as of this month, as Dyson has finally dropped the rest of its anticipated models.Dyson now has three new cordless vacuums you can shop, plus one with a Submarine head variant: the Dyson V16 Piston Animal ($980) and Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine ($1,100), the Dyson V10 Konical ($500), and the Dyson V8 Cyclone ($400). On top of the other vacuums…

Anthropic said on Friday it will “abruptly disable” its most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models, Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, for all users after the U.S. government ordered it to suspend access to the models for foreign nationals, whether inside or outside the U.S., citing national security concerns. The AI company said it received an order at 5:21 p.m. ET, instructing it to suspend all access to the models by foreign nationals. It said that it believed there was a “misunderstanding” and that it is working to restore access to the models as soon as possible. Access to other…

[This is a sponsored article with Synology.] The cloud was supposed to eliminate infrastructure headaches. Instead, some businesses are discovering a new one: invoices they no longer understand. Storage fees, data retrieval charges, and backup costs are quietly pushing cloud spending higher than many organisations anticipated—and artificial intelligence (AI) is about to make it significantly worse.  It’s a challenge Taiwanese storage company Synology has been watching closely.  At Computex 2026 in Taipei last week, the company argued that the economics of cloud-first infrastructure are beginning to shift. The cloud bill that keeps growing Businesses that moved enthusiastically to cloud-first infrastructure…

Generative artificial intelligence has a data problem. For years, the typical approach to building gen AI models has been to gather as much data as possible by scraping vast swaths of the internet, training at an enormous scale and dealing with the consequences later. The result has been increasingly powerful technology, but also growing concerns about bias, consent, ownership and the uneven distribution of value created from the world’s information. Mozilla Data Collective was created to fill the gaps in this model. The organization, which launched last November, is attempting to create a different kind of marketplace for AI data…

Jeff Dean, Google’s chief scientist and a UW alum, addresses Allen School graduates Friday at Alaska Airlines Arena. (UW Photo / Matt Hagen) Jeff Dean was a University of Washington graduate student in the 1990s, optimizing software compilers for object-oriented programming languages in a trailer wedged next to the old computer science building. On Friday evening, Dean returned to the UW’s Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering as Google’s chief scientist and a co-leader of its Gemini AI models, with a message for graduates about the technology he and his colleagues have shaped — and to which many of…

Your dashboards promise a 4x ROAS, but why is revenue flat? Discover the marketing intelligence tools elite CMOs use to turn messy data into solid growth. Smaug, the great dragon of Erebor, slept on a literal mountain of gold. He knew every single coin, cup, and gem in his pile down to the exact ounce. If a thief stole just one single two-handled cup, Smaug knew it instantly. He was the ultimate data collector. But despite sitting on the largest dataset in Middle-earth, Smaug had zero understanding of why that cup mattered. He didn’t understand the logic of the people…

Key Takeaways Double extortion ransomware combines data encryption with data theft, increasing pressure on organizations by threatening both operational disruption and public data exposure. Attackers gain access through phishing, weak credentials, or unpatched vulnerabilities, then move laterally to exfiltrate sensitive data before encrypting systems. A Zero Trust approach, strong IAM practices, and data classification are critical to limiting attacker movement and protecting high-value assets. Advanced security measures like EDR/XDR, DLP, immutable backups, and continuous monitoring help detect, prevent, and respond to attacks effectively. Proactive security, employee awareness, and a well-tested incident response plan are essential to minimize damage, recover quickly,…

AI company CEOs Sam Altman (OpenAI), Demis Hassabis (Google DeepMind), and Dario Amodei (Anthropic) disagree on a lot, like how fast the technology should develop, the best way to regulate it, and how to prepare society for smarter-than-human AI, among other things.That makes it all the more remarkable that they — along with 85 other experts in tech, biology, and national security policy — recently signed on to an open letter calling for more robust regulations around gene synthesis. They’re all concerned that AI systems might be used to help develop and even deploy dangerous biological weapons designed through gene…
