The Picus whitepaper shows how breach and attack simulation tests your SIEM and EDR rules so threats stop slipping by detection.

Choosing a first smartphone or a reliable step up from an older device often comes down to practical questions. Will the screen feel good during long scrolls and videos? Will the battery carry through a full day? Will the software stay current without extra cost or hassle? Samsung built the Galaxy A27 5G around answers to those questions rather than loading it with extras that rarely get used.
New users will immediately see the impact the display has on their first impressions. The 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen features the Infinity O design, which looks very elegant even with the small punch hole camera, and the borders are noticeably smaller than on prior models in this series. With a refresh rate of 120 Hz, you may enjoy an extremely smooth scrolling experience while surfing apps or viewing videos. Motion never feels juddery or stuttery, and it looks nice even at low frame rates.

The Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor and ample memory ensure that nothing falters even while running many apps at the same time. Opening Instagram, checking Google Maps, browsing a website, or running a few programs in the background all happen without lag. The 5000mAh battery will last you a whole day of normal use, and if you do get some video or navigation in, you’ll still have enough juice to finish work/school/errands. When you do need to top up, 25 watt charging will quickly recharge your battery and fit into your regular routine. The phone itself is quite thin, measuring only 7.8 millimeters, making it easy to use during calls, reading, or even one-handed.

The main camera does a decent job with most photos and movies, and the built-in stabilization is useful. The 50 megapixel sensor handles everyday light well and does a fantastic job of reducing blur, even when your hands move slightly. The ultrawide lens is good for capturing a broader picture of a gathering or a piece of terrain, whilst the macro lens is useful for photographing microscopic details. If you just want to take some decent selfies, the 12 megapixel front camera does the trick without requiring any post editing.

With microSD card support, you can easily store a large number of files. The storage starts at a comfortable 128GB and can accept cards up to 2 terabytes, which is quite big enough to hold tons of photographs, videos, music, and documents right on the phone, eliminating the need to continually juggle removals or hurry into a cloud subscription. Having some room to develop from the start eliminates one of the initial challenges for anyone gathering a collection of personal items.

Samsung’s extensive update schedule greatly enhances long-term dependability. The phone runs Android 16 with One UI features and receives six major operating system upgrades, as well as six years of security patches, to ensure its security. And that plan allows you to stretch your dollar while maintaining a consistent experience as you settle into your daily routine. All of this adds up to great value at $350 (July 14 US relaese) when you consider everything you get for the money.

Amazon, Microsoft and other leading tech companies are joining a new nonpartisan workforce organization launched Thursday aimed at helping American workers navigate the transition to an AI-driven economy.
RAISE US aims to partner with governors, employers, and training organizations to retrain and redeploy workers displaced or affected by AI, with a goal of raising $1 billion in multi-year commitments — more than half of which has already been secured.
The organization is led by former U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, who will serve as CEO, and former Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb, who will serve as co-chair. The two are pitching the effort as explicitly bipartisan.
“If we build the best AI systems in the world and leave millions of Americans behind, we won’t have won anything; we’ll have automated our own decline,” Raimondo said in a news release. “I believe AI will create new jobs and industries over time, but the transition could be disruptive, and it’s already underway.”
Amazon, Anthropic, Microsoft and the OpenAI Foundation are serving as anchor partners. The coalition also includes more than two dozen companies and philanthropies, among them IBM, Cisco, General Motors, Mastercard, the Rockefeller Foundation, and Pivotal, the organization founded by Melinda French Gates. Initial state partnerships include Arkansas, Connecticut, Maryland, and Utah.
The launch of RAISE US comes amid layoffs and cost-cutting across the tech industry and widespread anxiety — from workers to recent graduates — about AI’s impact on employment. Some employers, including Meta, have cited AI as a reason for cuts, including in Washington state. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy blamed massive layoffs that started last year on a culture correction at the tech giant rather than being AI-driven.
In a blog post Thursday, Amazon Chief Global Affairs & Legal Officer David Zapolsky said investment in workers must keep pace with the technology.
“The transition to an AI-driven economy will create enormous opportunity, but only if we invest now in helping workers develop the skills to seize it,” Zapolsky wrote.
Zapolsky cited Amazon’s own efforts to prepare workers for the AI economy, including its Career Choice program, which has helped more than 300,000 employees earn degrees and certificates over 14 years, and a broader $2.5 billion commitment to skills training through its Future Ready 2030 initiative.
Microsoft said it has already been piloting a model for the kind of worker transition RAISE US aims to scale — cross-training entry-level lawyers across different parts of the organization and equipping them with AI skills so they can be repositioned as technology evolves, The New York Times reported.
“It creates an opportunity to transfer people from jobs that are being eliminated to jobs that are being created,” Microsoft President Brad Smith told the Times.
Anthropic appears to be testing Claude Cowork support on mobile, allowing you to manage long-running Claude tasks from your phone.
For those unaware, Claude Cowork is Anthropic’s desktop-focused agentic mode for Claude, and it brings some of Claude Code’s task-running abilities to regular knowledge work.
Unlike Claude Code, which is optimized for coding/development tasks, Cowork can work on longer tasks, use files, create documents, generate spreadsheets, write reports, and continue working in the background while you monitor progress.
In my tests, I’ve found Cowork to be useful when I have to deal with documentation, pictures, and even managing my storage partition.
For example, when I was compiling a React Native app on my local storage, and it ran out of storage, Cowork investigated all my local folders in the partition and found files using most of my storage that I may not have been aware of.
Until now, Cowork has been mostly tied to Claude Desktop on macOS and Windows, but screenshots posted on X suggest Anthropic is preparing a proper mobile experience for it.

If you look at the above screenshot, it clearly confirms that you will be able to “start and steer tasks directly from your phone,” and also “check in from your phone, browser, or Claude desktop app.”
Most importantly, Anthropic notes that “work continues in the background, even when you close the app.”
Based on the screenshots, it’s quite obvious that Anthropic does not plan to turn Claude’s mobile app into a full desktop app.
Instead, it appears that Claude Cowork on mobile would be similar to a remote control for Cowork on your PC.
This aligns with Anthropic’s current explanation of Cowork. The company says Cowork runs directly on your computer, giving Claude access to the files you choose to share.
In other words, your phone may become the remote control for Cowork, but your computer is still where the actual heavy lifting happens.
Anthropic has not publicly announced full mobile Cowork support yet, but the screenshots suggest the feature is already being prepared inside Claude for mobile.

Nothing is gearing up to launch a new budget phone early next month, and the company recently gave us an early look at its design. While it hasn’t revealed the device’s specifications, a new leak has outlined what the Phone 4b may offer in terms of display, chip, battery, and storage.
According to tipster Yogesh Brar, the Nothing Phone 4b will come in three colors. Nothing has already showcased the device in a blue colorway, but there’s no word yet on what the other colors could be. The leak also points to two storage configurations, 128GB and 256GB, both paired with 8GB of RAM.
The device is said to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, the same as the Phone 4a launched earlier this year. Under the hood, it could pack Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chip, which would position the Phone 4b below the 4a duo in Nothing’s lineup. The phone is also expected to house a 5,400mAh battery.
Brar’s post also points to a 50MP camera, though specifics on the sensor, aperture, and the second camera haven’t surfaced yet. Nothing has not confirmed any of these specs itself. More details are expected to surface in the lead-up to the July 7 reveal.
The Phone 4b’s design was confirmed earlier this week, with Nothing showing off a build that mixes the unibody design of the Phone 4a Pro with the Glyph Bar from the standard Phone 4a. The company has also confirmed that the device will feature a soft, skin-friendly finish and offer enhanced durability.
If accurate, this leak suggests Nothing is keeping the Phone 4b firmly in the mid-range segment while still offering some standout features, like a large battery and a high refresh rate display. Provided the company gets the price right, the device could be one of the most compelling budget options this year.
Samsung builds smartwatches across a wide range of budgets, but the Galaxy Watch Ultra sits at the top of that range for a reason.
That reason is easier to act on today, with the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra down from £599 to £331, a saving of £268 that brings a proper expedition-grade smartwatch into reach for the first time at a genuinely competitive price on Prime Day.
Prime Day knocks over £260 off the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, giving you LTE connectivity and a tough, go‑anywhere design for far less
Save more than £260 on the Galaxy Watch Ultra — a durable, LTE‑equipped smartwatch built to handle anything, now for much less.

The titanium casing and 10 ATM water resistance mean this is a watch built for environments where most wearables would ask you to leave them at home, covering open water swimming, mountain conditions, and extreme heat without any meaningful compromise.
A dual-frequency GPS incorporating both L1 and L5 bands delivers the most accurate location tracking Samsung has put into a Galaxy Watch, maintaining precision even through dense urban environments where single-frequency systems tend to lose their footing.


Battery life sits at up to 100 hours in Power Saving mode and up to 48 hours in Exercise Power Saving mode, and 64GB of onboard storage means GPX route data can be recorded across extended expeditions without running short of space.
The AI-powered Energy Score gives a daily readiness assessment drawn from sleep data, heart rate, and activity levels, while the Running Coach feature provides real-time feedback during training sessions for anyone using the watch as a performance tool.
A long press of the Quick Button activates a siren audible up to 180 metres away, and the watch also provides fall detection, SOS, and instant access to Medical info, which adds a meaningful safety layer for solo outdoor activities.
The honest caveat is that full functionality, including some AI-driven health features, works best when paired with a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, so the experience on other Android devices or iOS may be more limited than the headline spec suggests.
At £331, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra makes a compelling case for anyone who wants expedition-grade capability without the full-price commitment, and our Best Samsung Galaxy Watch guide is there for anyone still weighing up where it sits within the wider Samsung wearable lineup.
Despite the odd quirk, the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra brings a refreshing premium touch to the Wear OS ecosystem.
It’s certainly true that the Ultra’s design appears heavily inspired by Apple’s homonymous alternative, but I don’t suspect Android users craving a supercharged smartwatch will care much. If you can handle the clunky navigation, mildly unpredictable battery life, and oversized footprint, the Galaxy Watch Ultra is an excellent upgrade to the typical mid-range smartwatch experience.
Wear OS gets some design personality
Strong GPS and HR accuracy
Ultra-bright and clear display
Comprehensive sleep tracking
Navigation crying out for rotating bezel
Inconsistent battery life
Not a good fit for smaller wrists

The smart TV is a fixture in most houses, variously an entertainment portal, corporate data gathering tool, or sometimes an outright spy. It’s a nice monitor with a computer built in, so can that computer be released to do something else? It’s a question [Xen’on] is answering, on an Android-based TV.
The guide is not too different from many others relating to Android phones, with a few quirks. An Android Debug Bridge (ADB) connection is established, root access is gained using Shizuku, and then it’s a case of installing a more conventional Linux front end with the Openbox window manager through Termux. There are some TV-specific things to do with handling power cycles, but the TV is now a usable Linux box.
It’s always good to see someone retrieve the Linux underneath a locked-down device, but the system spec tells the real story. By the looks of things this TV is a few years old as it had an Android version that’s a bit long in the tooth, and thus it also packs an aged version 4.x kernel. Couple that with a more seat-of-your-pants experience compared to a regular distro where many of the annoyances are taken care of, this isn’t an easy route to a trouble free desktop. Instead it has a lot of potential for making the TV what it was intend to be, an entertainment device. Merely one that gives much more software freedom.
Meanwhile, this isn’t the first Termux guide we’ve seen.
Apple’s price increases have resulted in increased demand for Amazon’s Prime Day deals, which remain unchanged. A top seller is this M5 15-inch MacBook Air for $1,149.
Amazon’s discounted prices have remained in effect this third day of Prime Day, despite Apple raising prices this morning. Save $350 on the standard 15-inch MacBook Air M5 with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage or $450 on the M5/16GB/1TB model before supply runs out.
Buy M5 15″ MacBook Air for $1,149
You can compare prices across retailers in our M5 15-inch MacBook Air Price Guide, but the deals above are easily the most aggressive available as Amazon hasn’t implemented Apple’s price hikes that took effect earlier today.
So much for voluntary review.
You may not be able to use the new ChatGPT 5.6 as soon as it’s finished. According to a report in The Information, OpenAI plans to stagger the release of its new AI model, and the first users will only be parties that are approved by the federal government. The publication’s sources said that, according to a staff memo from CEO Sam Altman, federal leaders will be “approving access customer by customer during this preview period,” hopefully followed a “couple of weeks later” by a more general release of the 5.6 model.
“We’ve made clear to the US government that this is not our preferred long term model, and will work with them and others in industry to achieve a more sustainable approach for future releases,” Altman reportedly told employees in the memo.
Several agencies appear to be involved in directing the change in course from OpenAI. The Information cited interactions with the Office of the National Cyber Director and the Office of Science and Technology Policy, as well as involvement from Department of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Neither the White House’s nor the Office of the National Cyber Director’s representatives replied to the publication’s requests for comment.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order earlier this month asking AI companies to participate in a voluntary federal review of their more powerful models before they are publicly released. The government is expected to create a framework to standardize how it will assess new models. Shortly after, however, OpenAI rival Anthropic disabled all access to two of its recent models following a federal directive. That order didn’t provide specifics around its security concerns, only that the government wanted to block access to Anthropic’s tools for any foreign nationals. Between that instance and this additional stage to OpenAI’s latest rollout, there still appears to be a fair bit of confusion around how the review process will work and just how voluntary it is.
Apple warned us. The company called price increases on its products “inevitable” just a couple of weeks ago. On Thursday afternoon, they became official on Apple’s website.
Its flashy new MacBook Neo is up $100, now at $699. Meanwhile, the MacBook Air gets a $200 price hike, now starting at $1,299. That still gets you a meaty configuration, with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, but it hurts coming just a few months after the refresh of this laptop.
The MacBook Pro’s increase is the most substantial. It’s up nearly $400 with a starting price of $1,999, which is a 20 percent increase. That comes with twice the storage of the MacBook Air, but remember: It uses the same M5 chip under the hood. There hasn’t been such a wide price gap between the Pro and Air models in many years.
But there’s a bright spot in all the doom and gloom. The announcement landed right in the middle of Amazon Prime Day (which is now four days), and there are a few discounts that are now looking even more tantalizing. As of now, you can still buy the 13-inch MacBook Air for $949 on sale, which is now $350 off the price Apple is selling it for. Even the $590 MacBook Neo is looking mighty attractive now that it’s $110 off the full price.
The craziest deal, though, is on the base MacBook Pro. It’s not even marked as on sale on Amazon, but at $1,549, it’s $450 off Apple’s price. I don’t suggest you automatically buy this for the savings alone, but if you already had your eye on this model, now’s the time.
I should mention that MacBooks aren’t the only products being affected by Apple’s price increases. While iPhones haven’t been affected yet, iMacs and Mac Studios have gone up in price, as well as the entire iPad lineup. Here are the new prices:
I’ve always favored clean, minimal phone homescreens — the fewer icons, the better, with the wallpaper fully visible. This usually means I have to delete a lot of icons and widgets after initial setup, especially with a Samsung Phone and an iPhone to achieve that look. Pixel phones are much less cluttered in comparison, though I still have to tweak some settings a bit to personalize the homescreen fully.
Then, a few months back, I got my hands on the Nothing Phone 4a Pro, and it was love at first sight. Not only does it look great and punch above its weight class with its hardware, but Nothing OS seemed tailor-made for me — it’s now my favourite Android skin.
I found the monochrome color scheme and minimal interface very appealing, reminding me somewhat of Pixel UI’s stock Android experience but with more character. The home screen widgets follow the same design philosophy, and community-made ones add extra functionality and whimsy I didn’t know I needed.
My usual homescreen setup features just a single row of my most-used apps at the bottom, with icons set to a monochrome color scheme and maybe one or two widgets.
These settings are readily available on iOS and Pixel UI, and easy to apply, while Samsung’s One UI has a wide range of icon packs to choose from. But where you have to manually opt to have this minimal look, it’s the default on Nothing OS. It’s in no way a groundbreaking innovation, but it’s my favorite part of using the Nothing Phone 4a Pro.
Nothing OS widgets also set themselves apart from typical Android or iOS widgets — they come in small square tiles (just enough to fit 4 icons in a 2×2 arrangement) that match the icons’ look. Even when I load up the 4a Pro’s homescreen to the brim with widgets and icons, it still looks clean and slick.
Don’t care for the default widgets? No problem. There are plenty of community-made ones you can download from Nothing Playground, a portal for widgets (found under Essential Apps in Settings) and equalizer profiles for audio. These are unique and can show off your personality too. Some of my favorite community-made widgets include a tic-tac-toe game, a functioning piano, and a meter that tracks CPU usage and temperature.
The latest major Nothing OS update introduced simple breathing exercise widgets — one each for Focus, Calm and Relax — with on-screen prompts that tell you when to inhale and exhale while music plays. Again, it’s not revolutionary, but I like being able to tap a widget on the homescreen instead of digging through menus in a dedicated health app.
These little things add up to making a fabulous user experience in my books.
In my opinion, an even more impressive addition in that update is Essential Voice, an AI-powered speech-to-text feature that has produced the most accurate results I’ve seen on a phone so far.
Powered by Gemini 3 Flash, Essential Voice automatically removes filler words and sounds like “um”, “ah” and “basically” — something I tend to do a lot myself — and also auto-formats bullet lists. I tested this feature by dictating my rather long, rambling notes into Google Docs and it produced a neat outline to build the article I was working on.
There’s support for more than 100 languages and regional variants, which I tested by reciting phrases in Spanish, Italian, French and Filipino — the results were clean and accurate. While a similar feature called Rambler is coming to more phones via Android 17, it’s nice to see it already in action on Nothing OS. While I’m not quite ready to forgo keyboards just yet and talk to my phone instead, I still think it’s a fantastic shortcut to typing.
Nothing OS also lets you try experimental features like using the Glyph Matrix (the secondary screen on the 4a Pro’s back) as a progress bar for third-party apps (it only supports Uber, Zomato and Google Calendar for now) and improving Apple AirPods support — well, for an Android phone at least. They’re not the most earth-shattering features, sure, but they’re a promising sign of Nothing’s willingness to try new ideas and let users play around with them.
Admittedly, Nothing OS’s quirky design won’t be for everyone, as some users will prefer more conventionally designed widgets or colorful icons that are easy to identify, but the short 3-year software support window is what’s most disappointing here, especially when Samsung and Google offer 7 years, while Apple is pushing that to 8 years in some cases.
Nevertheless, Nothing’s phones stand out as aesthetically pleasing handsets that punch above their price range, with the software experience as the unheralded star of the show — at least for me. It’s the perfect minimalist experience out of the box, without sacrificing functionality, and it includes some useful extras enhancing the experience.
With Nothing changing its flagship release schedule for 2027, I’m curious to see how Nothing OS will evolve alongside a potentially more powerful phone. Perhaps it will offer more ways to encourage community innovation? Either way, I’m certainly keeping my eyes peeled for what’s next.

Retroid keeps refining its lineup with devices that balance size, capability, and cost. The Pocket Nova enters the scene as a compact Android handheld built around a 4.5-inch 4:3 AMOLED screen and internals that match the performance of flagship phones from a couple of years ago. Starting at $229 for the base 8GB model, it targets fans who want smooth emulation for systems up to PlayStation 2 and GameCube without moving to larger or pricier options.
Retroid designed the Pocket Nova with everyday portability in mind. The plastic body is 169.9 by 84.1 by 15.6 millimeters and weighs 255 grams. That size fits well in the hands for extended sessions while also fitting into a jacket pocket or small purse. An active cooling fan ensures that the hardware remains consistent during strenuous games. Hall effect analog sticks with RGB rings prevent drift over time, while analog triggers sit alongside traditional shoulder buttons in a familiar arrangement. A top-left D-pad and front-facing stereo speakers round out the controls. There are several color variants available, ranging from full black and GameCube-inspired tints to translucent shells in Ice Blue, Crystal, Watermelon, and Clear Purple that let the internals to shine through.
Many users focus on the display, which is a custom 4.5-inch AMOLED panel with a resolution of 1280 by 960 and a refresh rate of 120Hz. The 4:3 aspect ratio is completely compatible with classic home consoles and arcade games, allowing gamers to avoid black bars or stretched pictures on titles from the 8-bit to 128-bit era. Peak brightness is 500 nits, with great contrast and wide color coverage. The high refresh rate makes motion appear fluent, and the display enhances detail in both bright and dark settings.

Performance comes from the Qualcomm QCS8550 processor, a chip closely related to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. It has a 4nm design with one high-performance core capable of up to 3.2GHz, four more performance cores, and three efficiency cores, as well as an Adreno 740 GPU. Retroid pairs this with 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 128GB of fast UFS 3.1 storage. A microSD slot enables simple extension of big game collections. The active cooling technology allows for sustained speeds, which helps with heavier emulators.

Battery life draws from a 5000mAh pack. Real-world playtime will vary depending on game demands and screen brightness, but the capacity allows for multi-hour sessions in most retro libraries. USB-C charging can reach 27W speeds, allowing for faster recharges in between games. The same connection offers video output up to 4K at 60Hz via DisplayPort, allowing users to connect to a TV or monitor as needed. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3 support high-speed downloads, online functionality in emulators, and wireless devices.

The software runs on Android 13 and receives certified over-the-air upgrades from Retroid. Users can freely install their preferred emulators and frontends. The setup makes it easy to load ROM collections, customize settings for individual systems, and maintain everything up to date. A 3.5mm headphone port is located alongside the speakers for private listening.

Pre-orders will begin soon, with goodies including a swappable raised rear shell for better grip and a toughened glass screen protector. Pricing begins at $229 for the 8GB device in solid colors and increases slightly for the 12GB version with transparent finishes. The initial stock on the official site has already sold out, indicating tremendous interest in this combination of screen, power, and pricing.
