Bitcoin Buyer Metaplanet Is Now Bigger Than Chipmaker Kioxia

Ugreen's new Nexode 500W charger is like a Swiss Army knife for power-hungry gadgets—it can juice up five laptops at once, has six ports, and even dials back power if it gets knocked over. Basically, it’s a one-stop shop for charging chaos.

Editor’s Note: If you’re drowning in a tangle of chargers for your laptop, phone, and other devices, this beast could simplify your life. It’s not just about convenience—the smart power management makes it safer and more efficient, which matters when you’re dealing with high-wattage tech. For digital nomads or gadget-heavy households, this could be a game-changer.

A Chinese tech company, Nubia, just dropped a new budget-friendly Android tablet that’s giving Apple’s cheapest iPad a run for its money. The specs and price point make it a strong contender for anyone looking for solid performance without breaking the bank.

Editor’s Note: If you’ve been eyeing an affordable tablet but balked at Apple’s pricing, this could be a game-changer. More competition in the budget tablet space means better options for consumers—and maybe even some pressure on Apple to step up its entry-level offerings.

A concerning data breach has reportedly exposed around 10,000 records tied to VirtualMacOSX, a platform for running macOS on non-Apple hardware. Details are still emerging, but users are being urged to reset passwords and keep an eye on financial accounts just in case.

Editor’s Note: Data leaks are always a headache, but this one’s especially messy because VirtualMacOSX users might not expect to be at risk—after all, it’s a niche platform. If you’ve used it, now’s the time to lock things down. Even if your data wasn’t caught up in this, it’s another reminder that no service is totally immune to breaches.

If you're planning to dive into a moshpit or ride a rollercoaster, you might want to disable your smartwatch's emergency SOS feature first. At a massive rock festival, over 700 accidental emergency calls were triggered by flailing limbs and jostling crowds—turning smartwatches into unintended nuisance alarms. It’s the same issue that’s plagued theme parks, where sudden movements fool collision detection tech into thinking the wearer’s in serious trouble.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just a quirky tech fail—it’s a reminder that "smart" devices aren’t always context-aware. Emergency services can get flooded with false alarms, wasting resources and potentially delaying real crises. For festival-goers and thrill-seekers, it’s a heads-up: your enthusiasm might literally send the wrong signal.

This isn’t just about your laptop slowing down—it’s about your data, privacy, and even your bank info being at risk. Time to check if your trusty old device is still on the update list before it becomes a ticking time bomb.
