MSI has launched the MEG CoreLiquid E15 360, a flagship all-in-one liquid cooler distinguished by a large curved 6.67-inch AMOLED display and a black-and-gold design. Tom's Hardware testing found it delivers top-tier thermal performance, handling over 265W of heat from AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X3D, but its $399.99 price places it well above typical budget cooling options.
Shapefarm, a studio founded by former Hazelight developers, has released its debut couch co-op title Orbitals, drawing heavily on retro anime aesthetics reminiscent of Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion and Sailor Moon. The game follows two young space colonists, Maki and Omura, as they navigate a stranded colony threatened by radiation storms and reliant on respawn machines called IMs to survive.
Physicists operating the LZ Dark Matter Experiment nearly a mile underground in South Dakota detected a single subatomic interaction that doesn't match any known physics signature. The team has submitted findings to Physical Review Letters, stressing they cannot yet say whether it's a dark matter signal, background noise, or something entirely new.
Early benchmark testing shows OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra model identifies about 4% more actionable bugs than GPT-5.6 Sol and 22% more than Opus 5 in code review evaluations. The advantage widens significantly on harder cross-file reviews, where Astra beats Sol by 20% and Opus 5 by 33%, suggesting stronger ability to trace how a change in one file affects code elsewhere.
George R.R. Martin used his personal blog to endorse a theatrical production titled 'The Mad King,' calling his experience watching it 'a splendid time.' He also confirmed the play will soon transfer its run to London.
HP's HyperX Omen 15 replaces the Victus 15 as the company's mainstream gaming laptop, pairing a Core Ultra 9 processor, 32GB of RAM and a 15.3-inch 1800p OLED screen with strong gaming benchmarks. Tom's Hardware found the as-tested unit costs about $2,100, a few hundred dollars more than its closest rival, and noted the build relies on an aluminum lid but cheap, flexible plastic for the rest of the chassis.
Fractal Design has released the Refine 2, an updated version of its minimalist gaming chair aimed at desk setups. The new model keeps the same overall silhouette and adjustability as its predecessor but adds locking 4D armrests and a slightly loosened tilt limiter, and it now comes in a fabric option in addition to mesh. All configurations are priced at $640.
Engadget reviewed the Boox Go 6 (Gen II), a 6-inch Android-powered ereader, praising its compact size, adjustable warm/cool front light, and 300PPI display. The reviewer noted the device lacks any IP water or dust resistance rating, a drawback compared to competitors like Kobo, and observed noticeable screen ghosting when switching apps, though this is adjustable via refresh settings.
MikroTik has released the CRS804-4DDQ-hRM, a compact desktop switch offering four QSFP56-DD ports for a combined 1.6Tbps of 400GbE bandwidth. It carries a $1,295 list price but typically sells for around $1,100, and the reviewer has been running it in RDMA backends for NVIDIA GB10 and GB300 clusters for months.
Early reviews of Sennheiser's Momentum True Wireless 5 earbuds highlight strong audio performance alongside a notable design choice: repairable components, a rarity for true wireless earbuds. Details on pricing, battery life and full specs were not disclosed in available coverage.
Sennheiser's fifth-generation Momentum True Wireless earbuds bring a smaller, more ergonomic design, five extra hours of ANC battery life (up to 12 hours per charge, 40 with the case), and user-replaceable batteries priced around $30-$40. The buds also gain an 8-band EQ, refined Sound Personalization, native Dolby Atmos with optional head tracking, enhanced adaptive ANC, and improved call quality via extra microphones, a bone conduction sensor and AI noise separation.
An MIT Technology Review Insights webcast produced with NiCE examines how companies are moving AI agents from small pilots to enterprise-wide use. Chandra argues that agents need consistent access to data, context and back-end systems, and warns that scaling without integration can create new silos across teams.
