Unacademy, once a one of India’s most valuable edtech startups, is set to be acquired by rival upGrad in an all-stock deal that would bring together two major online learning platforms in the country.
On Sunday, Unacademy co-founder and CEO Gaurav Munjal said in a post on X that the companies had signed a term sheet for upGrad to acquire Unacademy in a 100% share-swap deal, adding that the valuation would not be disclosed until the transaction closes. The announcement comes more than three months after Munjal said that Unacademy’s valuation had dropped below $500 million — down roughly 85% from its pandemic-era peak of $3.5 billion in 2021.
India’s once-booming edtech sector has struggled since pandemic-era lockdowns eased, as students returned to classrooms and demand for online test prep and learning platforms cooled. Companies including Unacademy, which expanded aggressively during the pandemic, have since cut costs, scaled back offline ambitions, and refocused on core digital products.
In a separate post, upGrad co-founder Ronnie Screwvala said Munjal will continue leading Unacademy after the acquisition, adding that the combination would strengthen upGrad’s integrated model spanning K-12 education, upskilling, and lifelong learning. The companies have agreed to an undisclosed break fee if the deal does not close, Screwvala said.

“Unacademy helped invent the modern edtech playbook,” Munjal wrote. “Along the way we lost some focus and market share, and the sector itself has not seen enough real product innovation in recent years.”
Founded in 2015, Unacademy emerged as one of India’s most prominent edtech startups during the pandemic, when lockdowns drove millions of students to online learning platforms. But as demand cooled after classrooms reopened, the company reduced costs, laid off employees, and restructured parts of its business.
Munjal said Unacademy currently holds more than $100 million in cash reserves after spending the past year consolidating company-operated offline centers with franchise partners and refocusing on its core online learning products. The company also completed an employee stock buyback worth ₹500 million (about $5.40 million), with roughly 40% of former employees participating, he said.

Unacademy has raised about $854.3 million across 13 funding rounds, according to PitchBook, and counts investors including SoftBank, Tiger Global, General Atlantic, and Peak XV Partners among its backers.

The upheaval has reshaped the competitive landscape of India’s edtech sector. Byju’s, once the country’s most valuable startup, has seen its valuation written down to effectively zero and entered insolvency proceedings in September 2024.
Meanwhile, rival Physics Wallah, once seen as an underdog in the sector, has turned profitable and continued expanding. The company made a strong debut in the public markets late last year.
In recent months, Munjal has devoted increasing attention to Airlearn, an AI-first language-learning app that imitates the gamified approach popularized by Duolingo. The shift has created friction with some Unacademy investors, who felt the core edtech business was being left adrift during a difficult phase, people familiar with the matter told TechCrunch.
Still, Munjal said Airlearn is gaining traction in markets including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Canada, and argued that artificial intelligence could unlock a new wave of innovation in education technology.

Neither of Apple’s first two CEOs are particularly remembered next to the likes of Steve Jobs, John Sculley, or Tim Cook, yet Mike Markkula, Apple’s second CEO, certainly should be.

Michael Scott was the first CEO of Apple, but he was hired by Mike Markkula. And then if not exactly fired, he was at least pointed toward the door by Markkula. Without Markkula, there would quite possibly never have been an Apple. And there certainly wouldn’t be one that stood the test of time. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums
Ex-Apple designer Alan Dye did not leave the company by himself, and a new report on Sunday says that he took others with that pioneered Liquid Glass with him. As we’ve said before, there is no possibility that Apple will ditch this overhaul.
Liquid Glass is Apple’s future, like it or not
Apple’s Liquid Glass redesign of all of its operating systems from iPhone to Mac may have proven divisive, and it was certainly spearheaded by Alan Dye. But there is no possibility that it will be dropped, even as Bloombergnow reports that several designers left alongside Dye when he moved to Meta. This new report from Mark Gurman’s “Power On” newsletter says that Apple whipped out Liquid Glass as a wild card to distract from its failings in Apple Intelligence. But then in the same breath, the report also says that Liquid Glass was many years in the making. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums
Nearly all new TVs and projectors have the ability to decode HDR, or high dynamic range, video. In most cases, HDR content looks better than non-HDR material, though an individual display’s ability to deal with the extra data can vary greatly. There are multiple HDR formats, including Dolby Vision, Dolby Vision 2, HDR10, HDR10 Plus and HLG. Most displays can only decode one or two of these. Likewise, streaming services and 4K Blu-rays typically offer only one or two.
Fortunately, all HDR displays can play HDR content — just not always in the best format available. Here’s what to keep in mind when shopping for a new TV or deciding which streaming service to use for a movie or show.
The basics
Advertisement
These images attempt to illustrate, on your standard dynamic range screen, what HDR can do on HDR displays. The top left shows how the image appears on an SDR display, tuned so the shadows are visible. Notice how the highlights in the clouds are “blown out,” meaning they lack detail. The upper right shows the HDR version with detail preserved in the clouds. The lower left shows the same image adjusted to preserve the highlights, which causes the shadows to disappear. HDR displays showing HDR content have a wider dynamic range — the difference between the brightest and darkest parts of an image.
HDR10plus.org
In CNET’s TV and projector reviews, we’ve found that both the capabilities of the TV itself and the way HDR is used in the movie or TV show have a greater impact on image quality than the specific HDR format. In other words, just because a display supports a “better” HDR format doesn’t mean it will look better than one that doesn’t. Here’s a tour of the HDR landscape today.
Everything supports HDR10, but many TVs and sources will also have at least one of the other formats.
Dolby Vision and HDR10 Plus can look better in specific ways compared to HDR10. All will look better than non-HDR, standard dynamic range content.
One format might look “better” than another on paper, but in the real world, image quality depends far more on the TV’s overall performance and how the content was made.
Most new TVs can display HDR content, which preserves more detail in both bright and dark areas of an image, creating a greater “dynamic range” than non-HDR content (i.e., pretty much everything you’ve ever watched). That older format is now called SDR, or standard dynamic range. On an HDR TV, HDR content can look far more punchy and vibrant than traditional video.

AJA
Just having an HDR TV isn’t enough; you also need HDR content. Without it, the TV doesn’t have much to work with. It may still look good and can artificially expand SDR content for a slight improvement, but to get the most out of HDR you need content designed for it. Thankfully, there’s now plenty available, including movies, TV shows and even video games. Chances are your favorite new programs already support HDR.
HDR10
Supported by everything.
Better image quality potential than SDR, but perhaps not as good as HDR10 Plus or Dolby Vision.
Static metadata.
HDR10 is about as close to a universal standard as we’ve got. Because it’s free for manufacturers to use, it’s supported almost everywhere. Every HDR TV can decode it and every HDR streaming device supports it. Nearly all HDR content includes an HDR10 version, sometimes alongside more advanced formats such as Dolby Vision, which we’ll discuss shortly.
HDR10’s main limitation is its “static” metadata, meaning a single HDR “look” is applied to an entire movie or show. That’s still better than SDR, but it doesn’t allow very bright or very dark scenes to look their absolute best within the same film. This one-size-fits-all approach works, but it prevents both the content and the TV from reaching their full potential. Dynamic metadata, which most other HDR formats use, addresses this limitation.
Static metadata is like forcing an entire football team to wear the same size shirt. It might fit the quarterback and look OK on the big linebacker and tiny kicker, but everyone would look better in shirts sized for them.

HDR10 isn’t backward-compatible with SDR TVs, so it’s no good for broadcast. You’ll find it available with streaming content and on 4K Blu-ray.
HDR10 Plus
Championed by Samsung.
Dynamic metadata.
Potentially better image than vanilla HDR10.
As you may have guessed from the name, HDR10 Plus is similar to HDR10, but with a little plus. The “plus” in this case is dynamic metadata, which improves on HDR10’s static version. This means that on a per-scene — or even per-image — basis, the content can provide the TV with all the information it needs to look its absolute best.
While there are certain fees for manufacturers to use HDR10 Plus, they’re much less than what Dolby charges for Dolby Vision. Because it’s from Samsung, it’s highly unlikely there will ever be an LG TV with HDR10 Plus. Sony is another holdout, likely for similar reasons. However, Epson, TCL, Hisense, Roku and others offer HDR10 Plus compatibility.
It’s a little hard to see in this graphic, but notice how the frames on the right show different levels of brightness in the sky. This example uses a standard dynamic range image on a standard dynamic range screen. HDR10 Plus’s dynamic metadata allows filmmakers to optimize how each shot or scene is displayed. HDR10, by contrast, uses static metadata — a single setting that must serve as a compromise between the darkest and brightest scenes.

Samsung
On the content side, there’s Amazon, Apple TV, Disney Plus, Paramount Plus and Netflix, among others. Keep in mind that just because a company or streaming service supports HDR10 Plus doesn’t mean that every product or show/movie is compatible with or has HDR10 Plus data.
Potentially the best image quality of all the formats.
Less content available than with HDR10.
The de facto “step up” HDR format.
Dolby Vision, like HDR10 Plus, can have dynamic metadata. Streaming services including Netflix, Amazon, Vudu and Apple TV support it, and you can find it on some 4K Blu-rays. Some Dolby Vision features — including dynamic metadata and color handling — are optional in HDR formatting for NextGen TV, though over-the-air HDR content remains rare.
This is an approximation, using two SDR images, of what you’d see if you placed an SDR and HDR TV side-by-side.

Dolby
The downside of Dolby Vision is that manufacturers have to pay Dolby to use it. In return, Dolby helps them optimize their TVs to look their best with DV content. For some companies, that’s an easy way to improve picture quality. Larger manufacturers — like a certain Korean brand that begins with the letter S — prefer to invest in their own HDR formats instead, thank you very much.
After HDR10, this is the most popular HDR format, but that doesn’t mean it’s universal. Samsung is the biggest holdout, for reasons mentioned above. Generally speaking, if a company doesn’t support Dolby Vision, it likely supports HDR10 Plus, though some companies support both. There is less Dolby Vision content than there is vanilla HDR10 content, but big-budget movies and TV shows almost always include it.
Dolby
Announced at CES 2026, Dolby Vision 2 introduces several new features. The most controversial, in my opinion, is optional motion smoothing, which would allow directors or showrunners to smooth scenes they consider too juddery, such as fast pans. The format also includes “content intelligence” features that adjust a TV’s performance based on ambient light and the content being shown. Midpriced and lower-end TVs will support the base version of Dolby Vision 2, while higher-end models will offer Dolby Vision 2 Max, which includes the motion-smoothing feature. We’ll have to see how it’s implemented once TVs and compatible content arrive, possibly later this year.
The good news is DV2 is compatible with all current Dolby Vision TVs. Older DV TVs won’t have access to the new features, of course, but the HDR and dynamic metadata will still work.

HLG
From BBC and NHK.
Free to use.
Broadcast-friendly.
Hybrid Log Gamma was created by Britain’s BBC and Japan’s NHK. Unlike the formats we’ve discussed so far, it’s actually backward-compatible with SDR TVs. One signal that works on both older TVs and newer ones is a huge deal for broadcasters. As you can imagine, it’s not without drawbacks — mainly when it comes to picture quality. Like HDR10, HLG is likely better than SDR, but it may not match the picture quality of some other HDR formats. It’s the format used for over-the-air HDR broadcasts.
A graphical representation of an SDR and HLG signal. The vertical axis is the signal, from broadcast, cable or satellite, for example. “0” is black, “1” is bright white. The horizontal axis is the physical brightness coming out of your television. An SDR TV would see the HLG signal and think it was “normal,” showing an image with, perhaps, better highlight detail. An HDR TV that’s HLG-compatible would understand what to do with the HLG signal and show that brighter information as a physically brighter part of the image (i.e., how HDR normally works).
Public Domain/Creative Commons
There’s already wide TV support. Content is still in the early stages, however. If you can get the BBC’s iPlayer (whether you’re in the UK or using a VPN), that service has HLG support. DirecTV and YouTube also support HLG, but there’s just not a lot of content so far. It’s free and fills an important niche, but it’s been years since it came out and it hasn’t been widely adopted. Some phones can record HDR via HLG, which you can playback on HLG-compatible displays.
Technicolor’s Advanced HDR comes in multiple flavors: SL-HDR1 is similar to HLG in that it’s fully backward-compatible with SDR TVs, allowing for one signal to rule them all; SL-HDR2 has dynamic metadata like HDR10 Plus and Dolby Vision; SL-HDR3 uses HLG as a base, but adds dynamic metadata.
The path to SDR and HDR in one SL-HDR1 signal. The top is the content creation, the bottom is what your TV will do with it. The SDR content is automatically created from the HDR signal.
Technicolor
Content is limited to some NextGenTV broadcasts. It’s unlikely it will get wide acceptance among streaming companies.
Here’s the tl;dr: HDR10 is the main HDR format. Dolby Vision and HDR10 Plus are the step-up options that offer potentially better image quality. All HDR should look better than older SDR content (or the non-HDR version of modern content). NextGenTV continues its slow rollout. The potential of free over-the-air HDR is still there, but at this point it’s in the hands of the individual channels and channel owners as to how much HDR they want to broadcast.
Generally speaking, it’s worth making sure any new TV you’re considering supports either Dolby Vision or HDR10 Plus since the dynamic metadata can make a noticeable difference, especially on the best TVs. The good news is that the majority of new shows, movies and even many games, all support HDR in one way or another. Most TVs and projectors do as well, though of course, some better than others.

“Just the anachronism of seeing Doom, one of the poster children for the moral panic around violent video games, on a Nintendo console is novel,” writes Kotaku — especially with the console’s underpowered “Super FX” coprocessor
Hampered by a nearly unplayable framerate, especially in later levels, and mired by sacrifices, like altered levels, no floor or ceiling textures, and the entire fourth episode being cut, [1995’s] Doom on the Super NES was not a good version of the game, but it was Doom running on the Super NES, and, for that alone, [programmer Randal] Linden’s genius deserves recognition.
But then in 2022 when Audi Sorlie interviewed Linden on the YouTube show DF Retro, “Not really knowing where fate was going to take us, I asked [Linden] a throwaway question regarding the source code for Doom.”
If you ever worked on this again, Sorlie asked, would you make any improvements or do anything differently?”

“Yeah,” Linden replied. “I have plenty of ideas if I could go back, but, you know, I don’t think anyone’s asking me to go back to Super Nintendo Doom and improve it.”
A few years passed, and Sorlie joined Limited Run Games as lead producer for their development department. When LRG asked him to run down his craziest ideas, a new, improved release of Randal Linden’s Doom loomed large. Convincing Linden was easy, and Sorlie said even the folks at license holder Bethesda were more amused than anything.
“You want to go back and develop for Super Nintendo?” they asked Sorlie. “Like, for real…?”
“The trick was actually pretty cool,” Linden said. “It’s right here.” He pointed to a chip on the prototype SNES cartridge, similar to the one Limited Run sent me to test out the game. “It’s a Raspberry Pi 2350.” Super FX chips are no longer in production for obvious reasons, but with a clever bit of programming, Linden was able to load software onto the Raspberry Pi that fools the SNES into thinking the game has one. “The Super Nintendo doesn’t know that it’s not talking to a Super FX,” he explained. When he programs for it, he writes code almost identical to what he’d write for an authentic Super FX chip.

“I had to go back and reverse-engineer my own code from 30 years ago,” Linden laughed. “It’s like, what was I doing here? And what was I doing there? Yeah, it was pretty tricky, some of the code. I was like, wow, I used to be very smart.” The result of Linden’s work? It’s Doom, running right on a Super Nintendo, but it’s smoother, packed with new content, and even includes rumble.
A new open-source tool called Betterleaks can scan directories, files, and git repositories and identify valid secrets using default or customized rules.
Secret scanners are specialized utilities that scour repositories for sensitive information, such as credentials, API keys, private keys, and tokens, that developers accidentally committed in source code.
Since threat actors often scan configuration files in public repositories for sensitive details, this type of utility can help identify secrets and protect them before attackers can find them.
The new Betterleaks project is intended as a more advanced successor to Gitleaks and is maintained by the same team, with support from Aikido, a Belgian company that provides a platform for securing the development cycle.

Scanning speed comparison Source: GitHub
Betterleaks is developed by Zach Rice, Head of Secrets Scanning at Aikido Security, who also authored the popular Gitleaks with 26 million downloads on GitHub and more than 35 million pulls on Docker and GitHub Container Registry (GHCR).
“Betterleaks is the successor to Gitleaks. We’re dropping the “git” and slapping “better” on it because that’s what it is, better,” Rice says.
Betterleaks was created after Rice lost full control over Gitleaks, which he started developing eight years ago. The list of features in the new tool includes:
Rule-defined validation using CEL (Common Expression Language)
Token Efficiency Scanning based on BPE tokenization rather than entropy, achieving 98.6% recall vs 70.4% with entropy on the CredData dataset
Pure Go implementation (no CGO or Hyperscan dependency)
Automatic handling of doubly/triply encoded secrets
Expanded rule set for more providers
Parallelized Git scanning for faster repository analysis
The developer has also revealed additional features planned for the next version of Betterleaks, like support for additional data sources beyond Git repositories and files, LLM-assisted analysis for better secret classification, more detection filters, automatic secret revocation via provider APIs, permissions mapping, and performance optimizations.
Regarding the project’s governance, Rice explains that it uses the open-source MIT license and is maintained by three additional people beyond himself, including contributors from the Royal Bank of Canada, Red Hat, and Amazon.
Rice underlined that Betterleak’s design philosophy combines human-centric use with accommodation for AI agent workflows, including CLI features optimized for automated tools that scan AI-generated code.

Those who stay into the forbidden realm of font rendering quickly learn how convoluted and arcane it can be – LaTeX is a fully Turing-complete programming language, Unicode has over eighty invisible characters, and there are libraries that let you execute WebAssembly in a font. A great example of a font’s hidden capabilities is Z80 Sans, a font that disassembles Z80 opcodes to assembly mnemonics.
If one pastes Z80 opcodes into a word processor and changes their font to Z80 Sans, the codes are rendered as their assembly mnemonics. The font manages this by abusing the Glyph Substitution Table and Glyph Positioning Table, two components of the OpenType standard. Fonts define relations between characters (internal representations used by the computer, such as ASCII and Unicode) and glyphs (the graphics actually displayed).
In some cases, though, the way a character is displayed depends on where it appears in a word, or what appears around it (Arabic characters are a common example, but an example from English is the ligature “æ”). Z80 Sans defines all the possible glyphs for each nibble of the opcodes, then used a recursive descent parser to generate substitution rules which display the correct glyphs in context.
Wikipedia describes Freenet as “a peer-to-peer platform for censorship-resistant, anonymous communication,” released in the year 2000. “Both Freenet and some of its associated tools were originally designed by Ian Clarke,” Wikipedia adds. (And in 2000 Clarke answered questions from Slashdot’s readers…)
And now Ian Clarke (aka Sanity — Slashdot reader #1,431) returns to share this announcement:
Freenet’s new generation peer-to-peer network is now operational, along with the first application built on the network: a decentralized group chat system called River.
The new version is a complete redesign of the original project, focusing on real-time decentralized applications rather than static content distribution. Applications run as WebAssembly-based contracts across a small-world peer network, allowing software to operate directly on the network without centralized infrastructure.

An introductory video demonstrating the system is available on YouTube. “While the original Freenet was like a decentralized hard drive, the new Freenet is like a full decentralized computer,” Clarke wrote in 2023, “allowing the creation of entirely decentralized services like messaging, group chat, search, social networking, among others… designed for efficiency, flexibility, and transparency to the end user.”
“Freenet 2023 can be used seamlessly through your web browser, providing an experience that feels just like using the traditional web,”
Everyone remembers their first Mac. For me, it was a 2007 iMac (oh, how I miss the 24-inch model), and everything about macOS felt unique (and this was OS X Leopard, if memory serves).
Much has changed since then, of course. Continuity, Apple Silicon, iPhone mirroring, and more have all come to the platform in recent years, but macOS Tahoe feels like a sizeable update even alongside those predecessors, and now I’ve been using the operating system for a few months now, here are my favorite new features.
1. Liquid Glass

We have to start with the new look that’s not just for macOS, but all of the company’s major platforms.

Liquid Glass is rather striking, it must be said, and the option to tweak it to match your desktop image with icon tinting feels like a much more successful trick here than it is on iOS where things get a little cluttered.

There are some minor flies in the ointment at the moment (some apps haven’t updated their icons yet, for example, and I’m not overly convinced of the borders on Finder windows), but I appreciate Apple working to make a sweeping change that even touches iconic features like the Macintosh HD icon (no longer a mechanical drive, hooray!).
2. The Phone App
(Image credit: Apple/Lloyd Coombes)
It feels like a small addition on the surface, but with the arrival of the Phone app on macOS, I think the gap between Apple’s platforms has been effectively closed and stitched together pretty comprehensively by Continuity.
Being able to make and receive calls, and listen to voicemails, might seem a situational feature, but if you’ve ever been in the middle of work, in the zone, and wearing AirPods only to have your phone start ringing, you’ll appreciate the new heads-up as to who it is.

That goes hand in hand with the call screening feature carried across from iOS 26, meaning you don’t even need to answer until you know exactly who’s on the line. Being able to use Hold Assist to know when you’re through to an agent while you’re working on, say, a listicle about the best macOS Tahoe features, even without using your phone, is very helpful, too.
3. Journal

While some apps are the type I’ve opened once and then swiftly forgotten about (I’m looking at you, new Apple ‘Games’ app), Journal is something I know will be particularly useful.

It always felt odd that it was confined to the iPhone before, but as I explained earlier, I can see myself writing in there much more often on a platform attached to a keyboard.
The iCloud integration does half the work for you, filling in your workouts, places you’ve been, and adding photos, meaning you can just add as much (or as little) as you want with words.

4. Live Activities

I have a problem: I just love ordering coffee too much. It’s my biggest vice, and while having to order on my phone if I wanted to enjoy Live Activities was a small price to pay, Apple now has a first-world solution to my first-world problem: Live Activities on Mac.
Now, I can track my Uber Eats order in my Menu Bar while I get on with work, safe in the knowledge I won’t miss a notification when it arrives – even if my phone is elsewhere.
5. Spotlight

I may have buried the lede putting this last, but make no mistake: Spotlight is the most impressive part of macOS Tahoe.

As a big productivity enthusiast (I acknowledge how peculiar that designation is), being able to send a message, open an app, or even access menu bar items without taking my hands off my keyboard is something that’s very welcome.
I’ve long been a user of Alfred, and may yet revert to using it because I have my own workflows in there, but having it built into the OS will undoubtedly allow for much more experimentation.
Working hand-in-hand with Shortcuts, it’s not a foolproof automation launcher (I wish I could kick off a certain Spotify playlist when activating a ‘work mode’ macro), but it could help users get ‘under the hood’ in a way they never even considered before.

3D printing has had its time to spread its wings into the everyday home, yet many of those homes lack the proper ventilation to prevent the toxic VOCs from escaping. Because of this, [Clura] has put together an entire open-sourced smart enclosure for most open concept printers.
While certain 3D printers or filament choices lend themselves to being worse than others, any type of plastic particles floating around shouldn’t find their way into your lungs. The [Clura] enclosure design includes HEPA and carbon filters in an attempt to remove this material from the air. Of course, there’s always the choice to have a tent around your printer, but this won’t actually remove any VOCs and air located inside a simple enclosure will inevitably escape.
What makes this enclosure different from other, either commercial or open-source designs, is the documentation included with the project. There are kits available for purchase, which you may want for the custom PCB boards for smart features such as filament weighing or fume detection. Even still, if you don’t want to purchase these custom boards the Gerber files are available on their GitHub page.

As smart as this enclosure is, it still won’t fix the issues of what happens to the toxins in your print after it’s done printing. If you are interested in this big picture question, you are not alone. Make sure to stay educated and help others learn by checking out this article here about plastic in our oceans.
