RayNeo launched the GT Max glasses at IFA 2026 They cost $429 / £399 They boast Dolby Vision, and new optic engine prisms Since publishing my review of them, I’ve had one pair of XR glasses at the top of my list: the Xreal One Pro . RayNeo has always been a close second, but here at IFA 2026 they may have just snatched the crown. That’s thanks to the newly unveiled RayNeo GT Max specs, which boast…
Behind many international brokerages sits a distribution layer that receives far less attention than the trading platform itself. Introducing brokers and professional partners can connect financial businesses with clients across different markets, communities and regions. Their role may begin with an introduction, but managing those relationships requires far more than a referral link. Client onbo…

Microsoft is retiring Word's Similarity Checker on October 3 and stripping the feature from Microsoft Editor. Other writing and editing tools, including Microsoft 365 Copilot, won't be affected. But if an organization uses Similarity Checker as part of its workflow, it's time to consider alternatives. Similarity Checker has been around for a few years.

Xbox is making a change to Game Pass that probably won't have very many defenders online. Microsoft's gaming division announced in a blog post this week that the cloud gaming service that has been included with Game Pass subscriptions for years is getting fairly harsh hourly limits per month, starting in November. You'll be restrained to different amounts of time depending on which tier of Game Pa…

The US Open tennis tournament is used to hosting big crowds that come to watch tennis players from around the world compete against one another. One group has grown and become more noticeable—content creators. On August 31, during Naomi Osaka’s first-round match against Anastasia Zakharova, a group of content creators loudly recorded a video. This drew attention from the court, causing the umpire…
OLED monitors are great for creative work, but they don’t tend to be cheap. I’ve found a major deal on the 27-inch ASRock Phantom monitor (PGO27QSA) for $300 (was $465) at Newegg for Labor Day. For your money you get a QHD OLED panel (2560 x 1440) with HDR10 support, a 0.03ms response time, a wide range of ports and a fully adjustable stand. On the content creation side, the all-important color co…
If you're looking for 32GB of DDR5-6000 RAM, you might be tempted by Newegg's Labor Day deal on the 32GB (2 x 16GB) Corsair Vengeance kit for $490 (was $605) . That's a reasonable deal given the list price, but I've found a much cheaper alternative that offers the same capacity and memory speed. The Patriot Viper Venom RGB kit is $410 at Newegg , a solid $80 cheaper. For your money, you get two 16…

Immersion is crucial for gaming, and high-level image quality can single-handedly elevate that. While 4K QD-OLED monitors have been on the market for a long while, ultrawide gaming enthusiasts like myself have been searching for a way to attain the same image quality with a 21:9 aspect ratio display. In come LG's 5K2K QD-OLED monitors, in both 45-inch and 39-inch variants, providing exceptional vi…
M.G. Siegler / Spyglass : By declaring that GPT-6 Astra has ushered in the AGI era, OpenAI is being flippant and cementing the term's status as nothing more than marketing — With ‘GPT-6 Astra’, AGI is here! Congrats, everyone! — It's a question as old as time. Or at least as old as Terminator 2. Is AGI here?
Lenovo showed Project Swan at IFA 2026, a concept notebook whose 14-inch display rolls out horizontally to a 17-inch 16:9 panel, at 17.9mm and 1.6kg It is 90g lighter and 2mm thinner than the vertical ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable that Lenovo already sells, pointing to a maturing lineup from the computer giant It has a compelling business case for people who currently carry a portable monitor for…
Sonos recently announced that it's launching a new soundbar to fill the gap between the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) and the Sonos Arc Ultra — it's called (perhaps predictably) the Sonos Beam Ultra. It's launching on September 29th 2026, and it costs $699 / £699 / AU$1,099. It's small, like the regular Beam, but it features nine drivers to deliver 7.1.2 channels of Dolby Atmos, including upfiring drivers (w…
In the packed halls of Gamescom with so many games to see, it's easy to get tetchy if a session goes on for too long when there's another appointment you have to rush off to see. Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve was a rare exception where I wished I had more to go on than I was given. On one hand, the Ace Combat series' appeal is a straightforward one. It captures the thrill of flying a fighter jet lo…

With gas prices soaring , dozens of food recalls , a war in Iran, and a litany of other pressing issues, one might be thinking to themself, "I wish the U.S. government would release a series of low-quality, potentially vibe-coded video games."

Gaming laptop deals aren’t what they used to be (stares daggers at RAMageddon), which is why I consider Woot’s deal on a refurbished Alienware 16 Aurora gaming laptop with Nvidia’s RTX 5050 a pretty good deal at $927 for new Woot customers (with code WOOTALIEN used at checkout). It costs $1,029 for returning Woot shoppers, which is a decent discount off the new $1,099.99 price at Alienware’s site.…

Here at IFA 2026 I finally got to try the Xreal Aura glasses. They’re the tech you’d get if my Xreal One Pro and Samsung Galaxy XR had a baby, and their Fall 2026 release date can’t come soon enough. While they can basically do everything an Android XR headset can do (more on that in a moment) the Xreal Aura is importantly a pair of smart glasses, with the lightness and comfort advantages you’d ex…
