Redmi K90 Pro Max with Bose 2.1 Sound System Unveiled

Redmi, the sub‑brand of Xiaomi, introduced the newest member of the K90 line in China. The flagship model, Redmi K90 Pro Max, features a Bose‑co‑designed 2.1 sound system, marking a first for the smartphone market. The launch also included the standard Redmi K90. The 2.1 audio system is the most striking element of the device. It is positioned on the right side of the large camera module and is claimed to deliver a high external sound level. This partnership with Bose aims to raise the audio experience for mobile users to a new level. Design and materials also set the K90 Pro Max apart. One edition has a denim‑style back cover made from a special “nano leather” material that resists dirt, is easy to clean, and does not yellow under sunlight.

LatencyMon: Free Tool That Reveals PC Slowness

When a Windows PC lags or stalls, the cause is often not a faulty hard drive or insufficient RAM, but drivers or background processes that monopolize system resources. LatencyMon, a free utility from Resplendence, is designed to pinpoint these hidden culprits by monitoring DPC (Deferred Procedure Call) and ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) execution times. Originally built for musicians needing real‑time audio, LatencyMon measures whether a PC can process time‑sensitive tasks without dropouts. If a driver or process keeps DPC or ISR calls longer than 4,000 microseconds, the system may exhibit audio glitches, video stuttering, or even freezes. LatencyMon runs for five to ten minutes while the user operates the computer normally, then reports a clear verdict: below 2,000 µs is acceptable, 2,0...

Nothing’s $10M MagSafe Claim Disputed by Qi2 Owners

Nothing Technology, known for its Nothing Phone, has suggested that developing a magnetic wireless charging system compatible with Apple‑style MagSafe would cost over $10 million. The claim references patents and other licensing hurdles that the company believes would push research and development costs beyond that figure. The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), the steward of the Qi2 standard, disputes this assertion. WPC members can access Qi2 specifications and receive Reasonable and Non‑Discriminatory (RAND) licensing terms, which the consortium argues would keep costs substantially lower than the reported $10 million. WPC membership carries an annual fee of $20 000, plus a minimum ecosystem fee of $10 000, but these are presented as far less than the alleged development cost. Nothing’s p...

NordVPN Adds Adult‑Site Blocking to Threat Protection Pro

NordVPN has expanded its security suite with a new adult‑site blocking feature integrated into its Threat Protection Pro tool for Android and iOS. The update blocks thousands of adult domains before they load, adding a family‑friendly layer of protection that works across mobile browsers and apps. By enabling DNS‑based filtering within the NordVPN mobile apps, users can prevent access to sites flagged as adult content at the network level, so those pages never open. According to product director Domininkas Virbickas, "Mobile devices are central to our daily lives and protecting users from unwanted content is more important than ever." He added that the feature "empowers users to take control of their browsing experience, whether they're protecting children on shared devices or want to avo...

ChatGPT Atlas Browser: An Early Look Shows Potential, But Falls Short

OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Atlas, a new browser aiming to integrate its AI chatbot at the center of web browsing. The browser enters a market already occupied by Perplexity’s Comet and Google Gemini in Chrome, but early testing suggests the experience requires refinement. ChatGPT Atlas operates on a Chromium base and is currently exclusive to macOS, with versions for other platforms planned. The interface is minimalist, featuring a collapsible ChatGPT history tab, a URL bar with integrated search, and an “Ask ChatGPT” button for contextual queries. ChatGPT Plus, Business, and Pro users have access to “agentic mode” for task completion, such as adding items to shopping carts. While ChatGPT Atlas excels at generating AI responses, its web search capabilities are less effective. When perfo...

Sharge Icemag 3: Retro Powerbank with Qi 2.2

Sharge continues to blend retro aesthetics with technical innovation in its mobile accessories. Its new power‑bank, the Icemag 3, visually echoes Sony’s compact Cybershot T‑series DSLR line, a similarity that extends beyond form to the device’s stance and functional details. The Icemag 3 is built from aluminum, giving a premium feel and added durability. A large metal panel on the front recalls old lens‑cover flaps but serves a dual purpose: it folds out into a stand, allowing the unit to function as a desk‑mounted charger as well as a portable power source. Inside a 10 000 mAh battery delivers up to 25 W of wireless power via the Qi 2.2 standard, fully compatible with MagSafe‑enabled devices. A 35 W USB‑C cable is integrated into the fabric‑shrouded hanging strap, and an additional USB‑...

Huawei Bridges Ecosystem Gap with Apple Device File Sharing in HarmonyOS 6

Huawei's latest HarmonyOS 6 introduces a significant feature enabling direct file transfers between Huawei devices and Apple's iOS, iPadOS, and macOS systems, effectively breaking down previous compatibility barriers. This functionality represents a major step forward in cross-platform connectivity. Previously, Honor introduced a similar feature called “AI Connect” within MagicOS 9. Huawei’s implementation requires a dedicated application to be distributed through the Apple App Store to facilitate the transfer process. HarmonyOS 6 leverages a new architecture dubbed “Galaxy interconnection,” enhancing device connection stability and boosting transfer speeds up to 160MB/s. This new architecture also promises a greater than 20% reduction in latency and power consumption. Beyond file shari...
