Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 Announced: Improved Performance, No AI

Qualcomm has announced the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4, a new chipset aimed at more affordable mid-range devices. The release adds to a recent series of Snapdragon chip announcements, but also highlights a continued challenge with Qualcomm's naming conventions. Positioned at the lower end of Qualcomm's mid-range offerings, the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 follows the 6s Gen 3 and is slower than the 6 Gen 4. Built on a 4nm process from Samsung, the chip features four performance cores, clocked up to 2.4 GHz, and four efficiency cores at 1.8 GHz. Qualcomm states the new chip delivers a 36% improvement in CPU performance and a 59% increase in GPU performance compared to its predecessor. The Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 supports FHD+ 144Hz displays, mmWave and sub-GHz 5G connectivity, and Wi-Fi 6E. It includes the Q...

Apple iPhone Air: Low Demand and Production Cuts

Apple announced the iPhone Air in September, promising a thinner, lighter handset at 5.6 mm thickness and 165 g weight. The model, aimed at users who value sleek design, has been met with limited interest and a declining market share compared to the company’s flagship Pro line. According to Ming‑Chi Kuo, a frequent analyst of Apple products, the company’s expectations for the iPhone Air were not met. "iPhone Air demand has fallen short of expectations, leading the supply chain to begin scaling back both shipments and production capacity. Most suppliers are expected to reduce capacity by more than 80% by 1Q26, while some components with longer lead times are expected to be…" — Ming‑Chi Kuo (@mingchikuo), October 22, 2025. The fallout is a shift toward the iPhone 17 Pro models, which carry h...

Tesla Recalls Thousands of Cars Over Power‑Loss Issue

Tesla has announced a recall of thousands of its vehicles after a defect in a battery‑module contactor was found to cause sudden power loss. The recall covers 2025 Model 3 and 2026 Model Y cars produced between 8 March 2025 and 12 August 2025, and 15 March 2025 and 15 August 2025 respectively, for which the defective contactor can interrupt power delivery while driving. The problem was traced to a solenoid contactor integrated into the battery module that fails to operate at the expected quality level. When the contactor opens, the vehicle’s power path is severed, resulting in abrupt loss of performance. Tesla reviewed 36 warranty claims and 26 in‑field reports and determined that the failure rate was higher than acceptable. According to the company, approximately 8 000 Model Y and 5 000 M...

What to Know Before Buying Your First 3D Printer

The allure of owning a 3D printer—the ability to bring your designs to life layer by layer—is undeniable. However, prospective buyers should understand that 3D printing isn't the effortless process portrayed in marketing materials. Before committing to a purchase, it's essential to be aware of the time, effort, and potential costs involved. A key challenge for new users is the required setup and calibration. Even partially assembled printers necessitate adjustments like bed leveling and nozzle calibration. Failed prints are common initially, which can be frustrating. Beginners often overlook the need for tools, spare parts, and the expense of filament, especially when experimenting with different materials like PETG, TPU, or ABS. Maintenance, including replacing worn parts and cleaning, i...

ChatGPT Atlas Struggles to Beat Google

OpenAI’s new AI‑centric web browser, ChatGPT Atlas, is reportedly unlikely to pose a direct challenge to Google. While the browser introduces a range of novel features, its reliance on Google’s Chromium engine limits its competitive edge in the browser war. Because Atlas is built on Chromium, it shares the same rendering core and extension ecosystem as Chrome. This dependency means that user data and traffic are still routed through Google’s infrastructure, preventing the browser from establishing an independent search network. Consequently, the promise of “defeating Google” appears to be more rhetorical than practical. OpenAI’s broader strategy aimed to re‑define web search and AI assistance through Atlas. However, the browser’s technological foundation and strategic approach seem less ro...

Developer Switches from VS Code to Open-Source Editor Zed

Following years of reliance on Visual Studio Code (VS Code), a developer has transitioned to Zed, a new open-source code editor, citing performance and resource consumption issues with VS Code. The switch prioritized speed and clarity over feature density, with Zed offering a native feel and a clean user interface. Unlike VS Code, which is based on Electron, Zed is built using Rust and leverages the GPU directly for rendering, resulting in significantly improved performance. This includes responsive typing, even with large files, and reduced laptop fan usage. The default interface is intentionally minimalist, with a clean color scheme and syntax highlighting, minimizing the need for extensive customization. Zed offers a range of customization options comparable to VS Code, allowing users t...

M5 iPad Pro Gaming Test Shows Meaningful Upgrade

Apple’s M5 iPad Pro is positioned as the most powerful tablet Apple has ever made. A recent deep‑dive by YouTuber MrMacRight examines how it handles console‑grade AAA titles, revealing significant performance and thermal gains while noting that some ports still need work. The 16‑GB M5 model, featuring a 10‑core CPU, was compared against the M4 and older M1 models using demanding games such as Resident Evil 4, Death Stranding, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage. All titles were run in their native iPad or App Store ports, and settings were kept consistent for fairness. The M5’s most notable advantage is sustained performance. In extended stress tests it maintained smooth frame rates and lower temperatures longer than the M4, thanks to improved cooling and efficiency. In Resident Evil 4 the M5 aver...

Simple Thermostat Adjustment Could Improve Your Sleep

A simple adjustment to your thermostat in the evening could significantly improve your sleep quality, according to sleep experts. As temperatures drop and daylight hours shorten, many struggle with sleep, and a warm bedroom might be a contributing factor. “There’s a complex relationship between temperature and sleep quality, with overheated bedrooms often resulting in disrupted sleep,” says Dr. Hana Patel, NHS GP and sleep expert. According to Dr. Patel, a high bedroom temperature interferes with the body’s natural cooling process, essential for falling and staying asleep. When your core temperature naturally dips in preparation for sleep, a warm room can hinder this process, keeping you alert instead of relaxed. The fix is surprisingly straightforward: setting your thermostat to switch ...
