Lanterns episode 6 has made its debut on HBO Max — and while it didn't answer every big question I had heading into Lanterns' sixth chapter, it does include a cameo from someone who's an incredibly important part of the Green Lantern mythos.

Titled 'Bad Optics', this week's chapter sees John Stewart return to Rushville 10 years after the town's near-destruction to investigate the apparent death of Hal Jordan. Before his mentor's funeral, Stewart meets and interacts with a character who has strong ties to Jordan in DC Comics, and whose presence in this DC Universe (DCU) TV show further cements the wider worldbuilding — or should that be universe-building — of this nascent cinematic franchise.

So, who is this mystery individual? What's their relationship to Hal Jordan? And could we see their superhuman alter ego at some point in the DCU? Let's take a look at the latest comic book character to be referenced in the hit HBO Max show.

Who is Carol Ferris in Lanterns? Hal Jordan's love interest in DC Comics, explained

Created by John Broome and Gil Kane, Carol Ferris is not only Hal Jordan's long-time love interest but was also one of his most noteworthy foes for many years.

Making her debut in Showcase #22 in late 1959, Carol was introduced to readers as the only child of aerospace mogul Carl Ferris and the vice president of her father's company, Ferris Aircraft. After hiring Hal Jordan as a test pilot for said corporation, Carol quickly falls in love with the soon-to-be Green Lantern, but their romantic relationship doesn't last.

The reason? Carol is abducted, brainwashed, and turned into one of Jordan's arch-nemeses in the form of Star Sapphire by the Zamarons. Formerly part of an alien race called the Maltusians, the female members of this species became the Zamarons after parting ways with the male Maltusians, who then rebranded themselves as the Oans — or, to call them by their more common name, the Guardians of the Universe.

With the immortal Guardians no longer requiring their female counterparts to procreate, the Zamarons left them to their devices, developed a warrior-like cult, and — to cut a long story short — soon became fierce rivals to the Guardians.

But back to Carol. Following her kidnapping, she's infused with an incredibly powerful space stone known as a Star Sapphire, which turns her into a superhuman capable of going toe-to-toe with a Green Lantern.

Abilities-wise, Star Sapphire's powerset includes — but isn't limited to — the ability to fly, create energy blasts, constructs, and force fields, survive in space, alter people's minds, and even heal individuals with the power of... well, love.

Anyway, ever since Star Sapphire's first appearance in October 1962's Green Lantern vol. 2 #16, Carol and Hal have battled each other on a regular basis as their superpowered aliases. Whenever Carol isn't possessed by the space gem she's synonymous with, the pair get on pretty well (for the most part) and have been romantically entangled on an on-off basis through the decades.

More recently, Star Sapphire has taken on the role of a superhero rather than a supervillain. In fact, as of 2007's Green Lantern vol. 4 #20, Carol is the leader of the Star Sapphire Corps, otherwise known as the Violet Lantern Corps. This group has purple power rings, which are charged/powered by the emotion of love, and are now viewed as allies of the Green Lantern Corps.

Who plays Carol Ferris in Lanterns?

That'll be Amie MacKenzie. Viewers might recognize her from Better Call Saul and The Madison on Netflix, Dexter: Original Sin and Yellowstone spin-off 1923 on Paramount+, Mountainhead on HBO Max, and MacGruber on Peacock.

Lanterns' latest chapter doesn't indicate whether we'll see Carol again. While her appearance at Hal's poorly attended funeral suggests they were together at some point prior in the DCU, it seems her inclusion is simply to make diehard DC comic book fans imitate that famous Leonardo DiCaprio meme from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Don't expect to see MacKenzie as Carol's superpowered alter-ego at any point in the DCU, then.

Anyway, this isn't the first time Carol has appeared in a live-action project. She was portrayed by Blake Lively in 2011's Green Lantern movie, which starred Ryan Reynolds as the titular hero and was slammed by fans and critics alike upon release. But, hey, Reynolds and Lively fell in love, got married, and had kids after meeting on that film, so something good came out of it for them!

How Carol Ferris' cameo might be hinting at the creation of more Lantern Corps

In spite of what I've just written, though, it's possible Carol's appearance could point to the formation of other Lantern Corps in the DCU.

Okay, that already appears to be a given. Sinestro's brief appearances in the DCU Chapter One show and Lanterns' title card slowly changing from green to yellow imply that it won't be long before Sinestro creates the Yellow Lantern Corps, if he hasn't secretly done so already.

Regardless, with Carol showing up in the sci-fi crime drama, we've now met individuals with ties to three of the seven Lantern Corps that exist in DC Comics, all of which harness a specific feeling on the emotional spectrum: Green (willpower), Yellow (fear), and Violet (love). The others are Red (rage), Blue (hope), Indigo (compassion), and Orange (greed).

Will we see any and/or all of these interstellar organizations in the DCU? It's possible, although recent comments made by the head of HBO have me fearing the worst about Lanterns season 2. If another season of this successful TV series isn't greenlit, we'd have to hope that they're part of a Green Lantern movie — maybe an adaptation of the acclaimed 'Sinestro Corps War' comic storyline, perhaps? — on the big screen instead.

    For one of my words I had “rhino” stuck in my head as it featured an H, I and O, which meant I managed to ignore the other animal answer of HIPPO.

    The far bigger challenge, though, was arriving at WAXEN — a word I had pondered earlier in the game but ruled out because of the rare letter X. Eventually I had no choice but to take the plunge.

    The answers to today's Quordle, game #1701, are…

    • WAXEN
    • HIPPO
    • PETAL
    • LEASH

    For one of my words I had “rhino” stuck in my head as it featured an H, I and O, which meant I managed to ignore the other animal answer of HIPPO.

    The far bigger challenge, though, was arriving at WAXEN — a word I had pondered earlier in the game but ruled out because of the rare letter X. Eventually I had no choice but to take the plunge.

    What is NYT Connections?

    NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.

    On the plus side, you don't technically need to solve the final one, as you'll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What's more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.

    It's a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.

    It's playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.

  • Snap is taking its AR glasses directly into the enterprise market
  • Nvidia, Salesforce, and AWS are joining Snap's push into workplace computing
  • Snap wants Specs to become a computer rather than another camera accessory

    • Snap is taking its augmented reality glasses into the enterprise market through partnerships with Nvidia, Salesforce and Amazon Web Services.

    The company is looking beyond its established consumer business for workplace applications that could generate demand for its new hardware.

    Snap’s CEO Evan Spiegel wants businesses to view Specs as a computing platform rather than another pair of glasses designed primarily for taking pictures.

    Snap looks beyond its consumer business

    Snap's Specs glasses cost $2,195, putting the device into a category where business customers will need clear reasons to purchase it.

    The company says the glasses can support field technicians by displaying digital instructions while workers inspect or repair equipment.

    They can also allow employees to interact with colleagues while accessing information through the glasses during workplace tasks.

    Microsoft and Meta spent years developing augmented and virtual reality hardware without producing products that became widely adopted consumer devices.

    Microsoft's HoloLens and Meta's Quest line have faced challenges turning immersive computing into a mainstream hardware business.

    The company believes that the physical size of previous devices was an important problem for users, arguing that Specs is better suited to workplace use.

    Snap is approaching Specs through practical workplace applications while attempting to expand beyond the consumer market that has driven its business.

    The company has not disclosed how many enterprise customers are committed to using Specs or how much revenue its business partnerships could generate.

    Nvidia, Salesforce and AWS join the enterprise push

    Snap is collaborating with Nvidia for access to an open-source extended reality AI platform that businesses can use when developing applications for immersive devices.

    Salesforce is also part of the initiative, while Amazon Web Services provides another major technology relationship for Snap's enterprise effort.

    “They’ve got an open-source XR AI platform that a number of businesses are already building on top of,” Spiegel said.

    “The goal with both Salesforce and Nvidia is to make it really easy for businesses to get the benefits of those agentic platforms.”

    These partnerships are intended to connect Specs with software and AI services that businesses already use.

    Snap is also developing Specs Intelligence, an AI service designed to operate across the glasses, iPhones and Mac computers.

    Spiegel said the company has not finalized pricing, although the service is expected to have free access alongside other usage-based options.

    The system is intended to let users complete tasks through an AI assistant while moving between the glasses and other Apple devices.

    These efforts may give Snap a route toward making Specs useful for work beyond the consumer applications that have defined its business.

    How is Ted Lasso season 4 going to end? Outside of those who worked on it, nobody knows — but I can tell you when its eighth episode will be released on Apple TV.

    Indeed, as one of TechRadar's resident entertainment experts, I'm your best source for all manner of release date and launch time information. So, if you're desperate to know more about when this week's chapter — titled 'Follow the Anger' — will premiere, I've got you covered.

    What is the launch time for Ted Lasso season 4 episode 8?

    Ted Lasso season 4's next entry is expected to drop in the US and Canada at 6pm PT / 9pm ET on Tuesday, September 22.

    Apple has always made a habit of telling us that episodes of its new and returning TV Originals will come out every Wednesday at 12am PT in North America. Nonetheless, every single one of this season's episodes has arrived on Tuesday evenings at the times I mentioned above. It's all but confirmed, then, that season 4 episode 8 will do the same.

  • 85% of employees are being encouraged to use AI in the workplace
  • Incredibly, 42% don’t know why AI is being used in the first place, raising questions about company strategies with the technology
  • Some 112,000 people responded to the survey globally

    • “Why are we using AI?” That seems to be the view of almost half (48%) of employees, according to new research that looks at AI adoption in business. While a majority (85%) of workers are being encouraged to rely on AI for tasks, many don’t know why.

    While employees certainly seem to feel the benefits of AI, citing benefits of increased productivity and motivation, the big question appears to surround their managers. The survey, by Culture Amp, points at a disconnect between corporate strategy around AI and how managers are (or are not) communicating this to their teams.

    The survey also emphasizes that it is still early days in the AI revolution, and that the impact of the technology on workforces and individual roles is yet to become apparent.

    Decisive insights

    Culture Amp’s report, How Employees Really Feel About AI at Work, is described as a benchmark, and as the inaugaural publication looks set to chart the path of AI in the workplace over the coming years.

    Its initial findings raise questions about how AI is really being introduced and used in businesses around the world. With 112,000 survey respondents questioned, situated within 123 businesses around the globe, the report offers one of the most decisive insights into business AI use yet.

    The unfinished plan

    Employees are telling us they understand the risks, they are using the tools, and they feel more productive," notes Amy Lavoie VP of People Science at Culture Amp. "That is not a workforce resisting change. That is a workforce that has done its part and is waiting on leadership to do theirs.”

    The lack of decisive direction from management may not be entirely the fault of individual managers. In some cases, the corporate direction for AI use may be “in development” with leaders waiting on clearer instructions to communicate to their teams.

    “We do not know with certainty which roles AI reshapes, which skills hold their value, or what a career path looks like three years out,” says Lavoie. “As a result, leaders may go quiet, because saying nothing feels safer than saying something that turns out to be wrong.”

    So what is the answer? How do employees struggling to find the sense in using AI come to terms with the lack of direction concerning its use?

    Lavoie concludes: “The most useful thing a leader can do right now is admit the plan is unfinished, and then keep talking anyway. Certainty is not what employees need from you right now. Candor is."

  • Bengals vs Texans kick-off: Sun, Sep 20 at 1pm ET / 6pm BST / 3am AEST (Mon)

    • Watch Cincinnati Bengals vs Houston Texans after the vaunted Texans defense getting shredded in their opening NFL 2026 fixture wasn't on anybody's bingo card – and things may well get worse before they get better. The Bengals racked up 33 points last weekend, and they now have a defense befitting Super Bowl contenders.

    Joe Burrow has, however, been dealing with a back issue this week. Considering his injury history, Cincinnati can't be too careful with their quarterback, who threw for 254 yards and a touchdown in a 33-27 victory over the Buccaneers last Sunday, but they'll also want him to re-establish that connection with Ja'Marr Chase as quickly as possible. And with Zac Taylor's position as precarious as it is, patience is thin on the ground in Cincy.

    CJ Stroud's first outing of the campaign held plenty of promise, considering how last season turned out, but despite going toe-to-toe with Josh Allen and nearly coming out on top, there were two fumbles to go along with his pair of touchdowns and 274 passing yards against the Bills. If he's able to cut those moments out and the Houston defense can show that last week's display was an aberration, DeMeco Ryans' men will go far.

  • Look out for the small blue 'hello' signs in Apple Stores
  • They're to help test the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max cameras
  • The new phones are now available to purchase in retail stores

    • The next time you head into an Apple Store, you should be able to spot a small blue 'hello' sign somewhere, as per reports on social media — and the appearance of these little signs is apparently connected to the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.

    As per MacRumors, the signs are there to help customers test out the optical zoom capabilities of the new handsets. Both models offer up to 8x optical zoom, so having something specific to zoom in on is going to be helpful.

    While the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max have a variable aperture feature on one of their three rear cameras now, the optical zoom capabilities are actually the same as the iPhone 17 equivalents that launched in September of last year.

    There are also new Pro controls on the latest handsets, so settings for lens aperture, shutter speed, and white balance can be tweaked shot by shot — something else you might want to test out in an Apple Store.

    Now available

    The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max arrived in Apple's retail stores on Friday, September 18, six days after preorders started. Prices for the handsets start at $1,199 / £1,199 / AU$2,099 and $1,299 / £1,299 / AU$2,299 respectively (for 256GB of storage).

    New Apple CEO John Ternus made an appearance at the Apple Store in New York to help celebrate the wider availability of the flagship iPhones — as well as the Apple Watch Series 12, the Apple Watch Ultra 4, and the AirPods 5.

    He didn't mention anything about the new 'hello' signs in stores, but they've been spotted by customers nevertheless. They look to be located on higher shelves and fixtures, perhaps to put off anyone wanting one as a souvenir.

    And if you're wondering where the iPhone 18 is and when you'll be able to test that out, don't panic — it's rumored to be showing up around March time, alongside the iPhone 18e and the iPhone Air 2.

    • The La Liga table has a familiar look after six rounds of fixtures in Spain's top flight: Barcelona first, Real Madrid second and Atletico Madrid third. But depending on the result of this weekend's tussle in the capital, Madrid and Atletico could swap positions before the extended international break.

    Jose Mourinho's second spell at the Bernabeu has begun fairly well, with Madrid winning five and losing one of their first six league games. Atletico, for their part, have won four, drawn one and lost one, but their best performance of the campaign to date came in the 4-0 thrashing of Osasuna on Wednesday.

    Julian Alvarez will miss out on the derby with a muscular problem, so Diego Simeone looks set to adopt a counter-attacking approach in which his team will sit deep and look to break forward at speed. Madrid will bank on their attacking quality overwhelming Atletico's defence, with Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe the players to watch.

    Here's where to watch Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid live streams from anywhere today.

    The La Liga table has a familiar look after six rounds of fixtures in Spain's top flight: Barcelona first, Real Madrid second and Atletico Madrid third. But depending on the result of this weekend's tussle in the capital, Madrid and Atletico could swap positions before the extended international break.

    Jose Mourinho's second spell at the Bernabeu has begun fairly well, with Madrid winning five and losing one of their first six league games. Atletico, for their part, have won four, drawn one and lost one, but their best performance of the campaign to date came in the 4-0 thrashing of Osasuna on Wednesday.

    Julian Alvarez will miss out on the derby with a muscular problem, so Diego Simeone looks set to adopt a counter-attacking approach in which his team will sit deep and look to break forward at speed. Madrid will bank on their attacking quality overwhelming Atletico's defence, with Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe the players to watch.

    Here's where to watch Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid live streams from anywhere today.

  • Streams: Sky Sports (UK) / Peacock (US)
  • Outside the UK? Use NordVPN to unblock your streaming account

    • Watch Man City vs Sunderland in the Premier League 2026/27 season, as Enzo Maresca's team look to make it five wins from five ahead of the extended international break.

    It has been a smooth start to Maresca's tenure at the Etihad Stadium, with Man City boasting a 100 percent record in competitive fixtures heading into this weekend. A 1-0 victory over Man Utd on Sunday thanks to Erling Haaland's controversial winner was particularly sweet especially as Man City played more than half of the match with 10 men after Phil Foden saw red. Maresca rotated for the midweek Carabao Cup victory against Norwich, but the control and confidence were still apparent with first club goals for youngster Floyd Samba and summer signing Allan.

    Sunderland pushed Arsenal hard last weekend, only to lose 2-0 to the reigning champions. The Black Cats are capable of making life difficult for Man City with their muscular, counter-attacking approach, although Sunderland have not kept an away clean sheet in any of their last six Premier League assignments. Regis Le Bris' side will be boosted by the midweek victory over AZ in the Europa League, courtesy of the superb Enzo Le Fée, on their return to continental competition after a 53-year wait.

  • Celtic vs Rangers kick-off: Sun, Sep 20 at 7am ET / 12pm BST / 9pm AEST

    • With Celtic coming off back-to-back shellackings – one of those at the hands of Rangers a week ago – Derek McInnes' men have a golden opportunity to gain ground on the Scottish Premiership leaders. The Bhoys do, however, have one big advantage: all 60,411 seats at Parkhead will be filled by Celtic fans.

    It's a role-reversal from last Sunday, when Rangers mauled their arch-rivals by three goals to nil to the delight of a 50,000-strong home crowd. Away fans are unable to attend any of this season's Old Firm Derbies, as punishment for the mass pitch invasion that followed their Scottish Cup quarter-final tie in March.

    McInnes' awful start means Celtic are already five clear at the top with a maximum haul of 18 points, but the suspicion has been that results have masked issues... until now. A pair of Dan Neil crackers either side of Kevin Kelsy's first in a Rangers shirt condemned Martin O'Neill's men to a shockingly meek defeat in the League Cup a week ago, and things got worse with a 3-1 home hammering by Hungarian side Ferencvarosi on Thursday.

    Approaching his 30th Old Firm Derby, it's possible that O'Neill has never felt quite so ill-prepared. It isn't just that the tinkering with Sam Johnstone and Viljami Sinisalo in goal, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Auston Trusty and Liam Scales at the heart of the backline, and Kasper Hogh and Camilo Duran up-front suggest that O'Neill doesn't know his best XI, it's that none of the experiments have worked out as of yet.

    Start badly – or select Sebastian Tounekti ahead of World Cup breakout star Haissem Hassan again – and the full voice of Celtic Park might turn into a blessing in disguise for the Gers.

  • Premiere: Sunday, September 20 at 9pm BST
  • FREE stream: BBC iPlayer (UK)
  • Use NordVPN to watch BBC iPlayer from abroad

    • From the world of hit legal drama The Split, The Split Up brings a new family, a new city, and a whole new heap of turmoil. The show centers around Kishan Law, a British South Asian family law firm whose stellar reputation has earned them an exclusive — and wealthy — clientele, making them the ‘go to’ firm for Manchester’s elite divorcees.

    On the cusp of inheriting the keys to the firm from her father Dhruv (Sanjeev Bhaskar) is Aria (Ritu Arya), but following the death of her mother, Dhruv begins to have doubts over her ability to take on the mantle. With her fiancé Neal (Danny Ashok) emerging as a safer option, the stage is set for a clash that tip toes the line between professional and personal, with returning former flames and long-buried family secrets thrown in for good measure.

    Fusing the ongoing drama with a case of the week approach, the show looks set to explore various facets of family law, with a slew of guest stars, including Lenny Henry, Jane Horrocks and Jameela Jamil, injecting some one-off characters into the mix.

    Giving all the juicy family politics and legal drama we loved about the original show a cultural refresh feels like a masterstroke in a world of stuffy legal dramas, so read on and find out how to watch The Split Up online and from anywhere.

    Original show creator Abi Morgan, who serves as executive producer on The Split Up, says of the spin-off: "I think what's been so great about it evolving into a new iteration is that we've been able to take all those elements that we loved about the original series - the messiness, the dramas, the small squabbles and the huge internal, silent struggles that go on between siblings and between parents and between new relationships. So, we’ve taken those things we love, but relocated them to a brand-new city, and to a brand-new family that are dealing with similar things in some ways, but also very different things in others."

    • Watch Warriors vs Knights in the second NRL 2026 semi-final of the weekend, as the Wahs of New Zealand seek a third win of the season over the Newcastle side with a place in the preliminary finals the prize for Sunday's victors.

    It's probably fair to say that the Warriors didn't expect that they'd be in this predicament when the regular season came to its close. Their sensational season ended with a second-place finish on the ladder, finishing level on points with minor premiers Penrith. But Andrew Webster's men were well beaten by the Dolphins in their qualifying final in Auckland, with a long list of injuries finally taking their toll.

    For Newy, it's the chance for a place in a first prelim final for 13 years. Justin Holbrook has worked wonders to take the Knights from the wooden spoon last year to the top eight this time around, and they dispatched the Rabbitohs last time out in relative comfort. In Greg Marzhew and Dominic Young, they have two of NRL's top try scorers and, in defense, the tackling machine that is Phoenix Crossland. They'll head across the Tasman Sea with high hopes of avenging their two losses to the Wahs this year.

    The top-ranked Penrith Panthers await the winner in the preliminary finals next weekend.

    Here's how to watch Warriors vs Knights from anywhere in the world.

  • Boyagongdao's BG-5 robotic golden arowana was one of the most popular attractions at CIFTIS 2026, with staff saying it plans its own route around obstacles
  • The 3 kg, 640 mm robot is rated to operate at 5 meters with a top speed of 0.6 m/s, even as endurance, cameras, and payload remain undisclosed
  • The design is not new: the BG-5 has been on the company's site since 2023, and a near-identical arowana robot has been available on their site since 2021

    • A golden fish doing laps in a small tank at Beijing's Shougang Park has become one of the most shared clips from this month's China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS).

    The BG-5, a robotic golden arowana made by Boyagongdao Marine Technology Group, effectively serves as an autonomous underwater surveillance drone.

    The fish has gone viral on Reddit since, with footage of it reaching the top of r/Damnthatsinteresting since it was first posted.

    Not a new invention, but one that has multiple potential uses

    The BG-5 has also received coverage (in Chinese) from mainstream Chinese news sources, and while details are scarce on the product page (also in Chinese), its dimensions are listed as 640 by 204 by 90 mm, with 3 kg in tow.

    It can travel at a maximum depth of 5 meters and maintains a top speed of 0.6 meters per second or approximately 2.16 km/h. Boyagongdao has not published endurance, payload, or camera specifics, and it has not made any battery-life figures public.

    The BG-5 is not new, however; its product page carries images uploaded in August 2023, and the company used the BG-5 to illustrate a World Oceans Day post (in Chinese) in June 2023. The same description appears on a Chinese equipment marketplace listing (in Chinese) dated July 2024.

    This isn't even the company's first arowana robot: its older Robosea website has product images dating to 2021 and describes the ROBOLAB-GL, a multi-jointed arowana robot with similar use cases, including education, research, entertainment, and marine biology.

    It does, however, have an overwhelmingly military aspect, and the company's background confirms this. Boyagongdao has described itself as a military-civil fusion enterprise , pitching its bionic ROBO-SHARK as a quiet platform with a sound-absorbing shell for concealment and its ROBO-ROV for tasks including underwater combat.

    A company representative, Zhang Yu, also said in a 2025 report its bionic technology "can also be used in military and national defense fields."

    The irony here is that it also doubles as an excellent anti-poaching tool: the golden arowana is a color variety of the Asian arowana, a species left endangered by over-harvesting for the aquarium trade, and it has fishing restrictions in place.

    A drone-like surveillance fish lookalike could make fishermen even more nervous about attempting to catch any of the endangered species, even as the relatively suspicious exclusion of hardware internals, capabilities, and endurance/performance figures makes one consider that it is aiming to cater to a single primary customer, despite the company's insistence on multiple use cases for the BG-5.

Two minutes! Actually, probably closer to 120 seconds.

    I know it doesn’t happen by design but, for me at least, it’s also quite rare that I haven’t managed to spot the so-called easiest group of the game — although today I think any group could have been classified as a yellow on any other day.

    There is also the fact that the only thing I was unfamiliar with, SAND DOLLAR, was one of the tiles in ROUND FLAT THINGS. My excuse is that we don’t have this type of urchin in the UK — in my ignorance I thought it was something to do with Las Vegas casinos.

    What is NYT Connections?

    NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.

    On the plus side, you don't technically need to solve the final one, as you'll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What's more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.

    It's a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.

    It's playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.

  • Rune wants unused solar electricity powering GPUs instead of going to waste
  • RELIC connects computing equipment directly to functioning solar generation sites
  • The system operates without grid connections or conventional data center construction

    • A San Francisco company named Rune has introduced a modular compute unit built to operate directly on unused solar power.

    Called RELIC, the equipment attaches to functioning solar installations without needing any connection to the electrical grid or new construction work.

    The launch came alongside a $40 million Series A financing round for Rune, lifting the firm's overall capital raised to $53.5 million total.

    Skipping the grid bottleneck

    Solar facilities routinely waste as much as 20% of the electricity they generate, adding up to more than 50 TWh yearly nationwide.

    RELIC pulls that idle current straight from the source, avoiding metering charges, utility fees, and the grid limitations slowing AI growth.

    "Every solar plant is a latent data center. The power is already there, sitting idle while AI labs wait years for grid connections that may never come," said William Layden, Co-Founder and CEO of Rune.

    Rune states that RELIC can be installed in about 60 minutes and deliver working GPU capacity within six weeks of a contract.

    That timeline contrasts sharply with conventional data center construction projects, which frequently stretch across several years before reaching full operational status.

    The company reports that RELIC lowers non-compute infrastructure spending by 85%, saving roughly $620 million across a 100 MW deployment.

    RELIC operates natively on direct current — solar's original output form — sidestepping energy losses that occur when converting power to alternating current.

    It needs no extensive site preparation, leaves no visible trace across the landscape, and operates entirely without consuming any water.

    Rune's initial working installation sits at a 200 MW solar facility located in Texas, mounted on existing infrastructure without any modifications.

    Addressing a system under strain

    Traditional data center construction cannot keep pace with the surging demand pouring in from artificial intelligence developers and infrastructure buyers everywhere.

    Rune's approach addresses that shortfall by placing compute equipment directly beside existing renewable generation instead of pursuing new construction projects.

    “Demand for AI infrastructure is growing faster than it can be delivered. Rune deploys compute directly behind the meter at operating solar farms, converting clean power into rapidly scalable AI capacity,” said Santo Politi, Founder and General Partner of Spark Capital.

    “Every renewable asset in operation becomes a potential deployment site. Rune is the fastest path to new capacity we have seen."

    Many data centers currently running were adapted from designs built for earlier computing needs rather than for artificial intelligence workloads specifically.

    “AI’s power constraint isn’t generation, it’s resource allocation,” said Varun Palivela, Co-Founder and CTO of Rune.

    “The industry is retrofitting data centers designed for a different era rather than rethinking the architecture itself. We built an entirely new technology stack from the ground up, coupling compute directly to clean generation so AI can scale here on Earth.”

    The approach leaves Rune testing whether unused solar capacity can support AI computing at the speed required by growing demand.

    ]]>     <![CDATA[ How to watch UFC 331: Van vs Pantoja 2 live streams, no PPV, start time, full card ]]>
  • UFC 331: Saturday, September 19
  • Main Card time: 9pm ET / 6pm ET / 2am BST (Sun) / 11am AEST (Sun)
  • Watch on Paramount Plus for $8.99 or for $1 with Walmart+ 30-day trial (US only)
  • Overseas? Use Surfshark to watch your US services from anywhere

    • Tonight's UFC 331 headline bout is a classic case of revenge or repeat as Joshua Van puts the UFC flyweight title he won against Alexandre Pantoja on the line at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The Fearless won the belt in controversial fashion in December 2025 and the Cannibal is determined to right the wrong he has felt ever since.

    Van's victory at UFC 323 came after Pantjoa suffered a dislocated elbow 26 seconds into the original fight when the former fell and landed on the latter. The Brazilian has felt ignored by Dana White ever since, despite having championship victories against Brandon Moreno, Brandon Royval, Steve Erceg, Kai Asakura, and Kai Kara-France on his resumé. The 36-year-old has the experience and fuel from that defeat to inspire him. He'll become the third flyweight champion to regain the belt after Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo if he wins.

    Myanmar native Van is well known for his speed but it was the striking that got him over the line against Tatsuro Taira in his solitary title defense in May. The 24-year-old will need to use that aggressive approach if he's to back that up against another 5ft 5in fighter. This is sure to be a close fight and one not to be missed.

    That's the main event of a stacked card in which Arman Tsarukyan and Maurício Ruffy face off at lightweight with the winner likely to get a future title shot.

    Here's where to watch UFC 331 live streams online and from anywhere with a VPN – including a clever way to watch UFC 331 for just $1.

    The UFC 331 Main Card is scheduled to begin at 9pm ET / 6pm ET on Saturday, September 19. That's 2am BST or 11am AEST in the UK and Australia on Sunday, September 20.

    Before that, the Early Prelims start at 5pm ET / 2pm PT / 10pm BST / 7am AEST (Sun) and the Prelims at 7pm PT / 4pm PT / 12am BST (Sun) / 9am AEST (Sun).

    Can I watch UFC 331 on my mobile?

    Yes. Most broadcasters have streaming services that you can access through mobile apps or via your phone's browser – Paramount Plus, HBO Max and Kayo Sports all have mobile apps, for example.

    You can also stay up-to-date with the latest UFC news and plays on the official social media channels on X (@ufc), Instagram (@ufc), Facebook (UFC) TikTok (@ufc) and YouTube (@ufc).

  • Samsung is shifting additional DDR5 and SSD production to outside manufacturers
  • The company needs internal factory space for advanced HBM production
  • DDR5 module assembly remains simpler than advanced HBM packaging processes

    • Samsung Electronics is shifting all additional production of conventional memory modules onto outsourced partners going forward.

    The company is directing capacity growth for DDR5 modules and SSDs toward external firms, reserving its in-house capacity for the more advanced HBM packaging process.

    Industry sources say this reflects Samsung's mounting need to use scarce back-end capacity more efficiently.

    A deliberate pivot toward outsourced capacity

    “Samsung Electronics lacks space to expand existing back-end production lines needed to manufacture semiconductors for artificial intelligence (AI), so it is reallocating space and equipment at packaging plants in Cheonan and Onyang to advanced packaging lines, including HBM,” a person familiar with the matter said.

    “The company has decided to handle most increases in conventional memory module production through outsourcing rather than expanding its own capacity.”

    Samsung has reportedly pressed its outsourced semiconductor assembly and test partners to expand capacity for DDR5 modules and SSDs.

    The company has even gone a step further by asking partners to accelerate capacity expansions that were already part of its existing plans.

    Several partners are already scaling up in response, including Dreamtech, Hanyang Digitech, and SFA Semicon.

    Dreamtech began mass producing DDR5 modules in India last November and approved further equipment investment in June.

    Its Noida facility, previously used for smartphone circuit board assembly, will eventually reach an annual capacity of over 50 million units.

    Hanyang Digitech has invested more than 31.5 billion won in 2026 so far to automate its existing memory module plant located in Vietnam.

    SFA Semicon is relocating DDR5 testing and assembly equipment from Samsung's Onyang campus to a new site in the Philippines.

    That transition begins in November, with a second phase following during the second quarter of 2027.

    Limited space drives the broader manufacturing shift

    Samsung's own capacity constraints stem partly from a new HBM plant under construction at its Onyang campus, valued at 6 trillion won.

    That facility will take multiple years to finish, leaving little room for conventional module expansion in the meantime.

    A separate $1.5 billion back-end processing plant is also under construction in Thai Nguyen Province of northern Vietnam.

    That facility will handle testing for older memory types, including DDR4, low-power LPDDR4, NAND flash, and universal flash storage.

    DDR5 modules require mounting prepackaged DRAM and NAND chips onto circuit boards using surface-mount technology.

    That process remains considerably less complex than advanced packaging methods used for HBM, making outsourcing comparatively straightforward for partners.

    Micron previously pursued a similar route, shifting conventional memory production externally while concentrating internal resources on higher-margin products.

    Whether SanDisk eventually follows a comparable path remains uncertain given how differently each company's manufacturing footprint and product mix are currently structured.

  • Satellite imagery shows China building a roughly ~200m ship in Shanghai that analysts say is a mothership for submarine-sized drones
  • It pairs a bottom-opening well-deck and 12-arm cradle with an internal hangar that experts estimate holds four 115- to 148ft XXLUUVs
  • While the ship itself is shorter than an Essex-class carrier, its dock clocks in at about 1,115ft

    • China appears to be building a type of ship no navy is publicly known to operate: a large surface vessel designed to carry, launch, and recover uncrewed submarines the size of conventional crewed boats

    The hull was first posted on September 13 2026 by Japanese open-source analyst KAROTASU and assessed two days later by H I Sutton at Naval News.

    It currently sits at a dock at the Hudong-Zhonghua shipyard in Shanghai, and Beijing has yet to formally acknowledge its existence, so it has no name, list of capabilities, or the military branch that will eventually operate it.

    A large dock linked to a much smaller ship

    KAROTASU's post places the vessel in what he calls a 340m-class dock, which works out to approximately 1,115ft. However, the dock is not the ship. The same post estimates the hull itself at roughly 200m long and 30m wide, and notes that a second, unidentified structure is being assembled in the same dock.

    Defence Security Asia, using imagery dated September 15, puts the hull at about 205m by 27m, which clocks in at roughly 672 ft. This makes the mothership big, but not as big as the largest WWII-era fleet carriers, though larger than the US Navy's Independence-class light carriers from that era.

    For context, an Essex-class carrier, the backbone of the US Navy's Pacific campaign from 1943, measured 872 to 888ft overall and displaced 36,380 long tons at full load. At 656 to 673ft, the Chinese hull comes up roughly 200 to 230ft short.

    The primary use case of such a mothership would be to deploy extra-extra-large uncrewed underwater vehicles (XXLUUVs), which is a mouthful, and it builds around China's naval ambitions at a time when it seems certain that any conflict or show of power between the world's two superpowers will involve a maritime component.

    At 35 and 45m (115 and 148ft), the XXLUUVs are the size of small crewed submarines and have an estimated range of 10,000 nautical miles based on a similarly sized concept that a Chinese shipbuilder has exhibited.

    This, at the very least, challenges the current balance of power on multiple naval fronts that were not in play previously: until now, the drones have been tested from specially built floating docks, which conceal them in port and carry them out to sea for launch.

    This works well on paper and for trials, which often use a mix of towing, favorable weather, and predictable shore infrastructure, but it limits range to their maximum operating capabilities and access to spare parts/repair potential, all of which the yet-to-be-named vessel addresses.

    All in all, in a world that has conflicts flaring up left, right, and center, the world's largest surface ship is designed around full-size uncrewed submarines, with an enclosed hangar to house and maintain them, which is both a statement and a real threat to the US and its allies on the naval front from China, which is closing gaps on multiple fronts and taking the lead on others, even as territorial disputes in the South China Sea remain a key issue.

  • Mouse Computer has fitted Ryzen AI processors into a laptop weighing just 981g
  • The X2 uses a 12.2-inch display with 1920 by 1200 resolution
  • A free SODIMM slot allows memory expansion from 16 GB to 32 GB

    • Japanese electronics maker Mouse Computer has introduced a compact laptop called the X2, a compact notebook weighing 981g.

    The device pairs a 12.2-inch display with AMD processors, offering configurations that scale from modest to genuinely capable performance.

    The laptop frame measures 277.1 mm wide, 210.2 mm deep, and 19 mm tall, retaining a single unoccupied SODIMM slot for later RAM upgrades.

    Specifications built around three AMD chip options

    Buyers can choose between three distinct AMD APUs, each aimed at a different performance and price bracket for portable computing.

    The base option, a Ryzen 5 216, combines two full Zen 4 cores with four smaller Zen 4c cores in a six-core layout, which should perform similarly to AMD's existing Ryzen 5 8540U based on available benchmark comparisons circulating online.

    A step up brings the Ryzen AI 5 340, part of AMD's Krackan Point lineup, also arranged in a six-core configuration.

    Multicore results suggest this chip lands close to Intel's Core Ultra 7 165H and edges past the Core Ultra 5 325.

    The top configuration, a Ryzen AI 7 350, uses eight cores split evenly between four Zen 5 and four Zen 5c units, which approaches Intel's Core Ultra 9 185H in combined multi-threaded and synthetic benchmark scores, according to early comparisons.

    The portable display panel runs at 1920 by 1200 resolution and reportedly covers 100% of the sRGB color gamut.

    A 180-degree hinge, 60 Wh battery, and 500 GB NVMe SSD round out the internal hardware package.

    Connectivity includes gigabit LAN, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5, USB Type-A ports, HDMI output, and a microSD card slot for storage expansion.

    A 2 MP webcam with a privacy shutter supports Windows Hello, while Windows 11 Home ships preinstalled on every unit.

    Battery life reaches roughly 12.5 hours during video playback and about 25 hours in idle mode, measured under JEITA 3.0 standards.

    Pricing stays confined to the Japanese market for now

    The Ryzen AI 5 variant, equipped with 16 GB of RAM and 500 GB of storage, costs ¥239,800, or roughly $1,545.

    The higher Ryzen AI 7 configuration carries the same memory and storage allotment but costs ¥259,000, or about $1,670.

    Sales of this device will begin sequentially from October, though the rollout remains confined to the Japanese market via the company’s online store for now.

    The laptop is currently available in three colour options — Cosmo Blue, Frost Gold, and Pearl White.

    Both versions ship with single-channel memory by default, though the empty SODIMM slot allows an upgrade path from 16GB to 32 GB.

    A compatible 16 GB DDR5-5600 module currently retails for around $229 through Amazon's storefront.

    Interested customers elsewhere would need to rely on import services to acquire a unit, adding cost and complexity to the process.

    ]]>     <![CDATA[ New solar panel tech could trap heat for 1,000 times longer to beat a long-standing limit in energy production ]]>
  • New and improved solar panel materials have been analyzed
  • Two key physics effects combine to create the improvements
  • It could help panels break through the 33% energy conversion rate

    • There's a long-standing physics theory that suggests solar panels will only ever be able to convert a maximum of 33% of the sunlight that comes their way, but a team from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands has detailed a way to harvest extra energy from 'hot' electrons that could push through this limit.

    Solar panels work by using the photons from sunshine to jump-start electrons. With the most energetic photons, the result is super-charged, so-called hot electrons, that have the potential to generate significantly more electricity — but the problem is they cool down too quickly and lose the energy as heat before it can be captured.

    This new research builds on previous studies reporting a promising new tin-based solar panel material. The material has demonstrated it can keep the heat from hot electrons trapped for around 1,000 times longer — but there have been competing ideas about the mechanism making that possible.

    Trying to clarify what was going on, though a series of computer simulations and experimental measurements, was the purpose of the new research: understanding the material's key properties will help scientists build on the potential of the material and potentially scale it up into something that's viable commercially.

    Ultra-long cooling

    Solar panel technology

    Two physics effects are essential for the upgrades reported by scientists (Image credit: Faber et al., ACS Energy Letters, 2026)

    The analysis carried out by the researchers determined that there were two different actions at work. First, an effect called a hot phonon bottleneck creates a heat trap: as the environment around the buzzing electrons warms up so quickly, the electrons end up reabsorbing the thermal energy again, keeping their heat for longer.

    Second, what's known as the Burstein-Moss effect creates an atomic traffic jam. As hot electrons cool, they quickly fill up the lowest available energy states in the material, which means other hot electrons can't lose their heat as quickly — it's like an airplane filling up from the front, with passengers arriving later having to walk all the way to the back.

    These two effects were already known about, but now we know they're the reason that these special solar panel materials work — and that in combination they provide the extended hot electron cooling that might help to nudge future solar panels above that crucial 33% ceiling, and create clean energy more efficiently.

    "It is the simultaneous satisfaction of these electronic, phononic, and chemical criteria, operating under high-injection conditions, that enables the ultra-long cooling times necessary for practical devices," write the researchers in their published paper, which appears in the journal ACS Energy Letters.

    • Watch Warrington Wolves vs Hull KR in the second Super League 2026 eliminator as the reigning champions cling on to their slim hopes of progressing to a third straight Grand Final after a seriously lackluster season.

    Following Hull's historic win over Wigan at Old Trafford last October, the Robins fell back to Earth with a bump this year. They began their campaign with consecutive losses – including a 58-6 mauling from Leeds Rhinos – and only just squeaked into sixth place in the table by two points. Head coach Willie Peters announcing ahead of time that this would be his last season at Craven Park hasn't exactly helped to stabilize the situation, but he'll now want to guide his men to a repeat to engrave his name into Kingston Rovers folklore.

    Ever the bridesmaids, Warrington have another opportunity in 2026 to get over the line and win a first Super League in club history. It's been a fantastic campaign at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, only denied a second-place league finish on points difference.

    Watch Warrington Wolves vs Hull KR in the second Super League 2026 eliminator as the reigning champions cling on to their slim hopes of progressing to a third straight Grand Final after a seriously lackluster season.

    Following Hull's historic win over Wigan at Old Trafford last October, the Robins fell back to Earth with a bump this year. They began their campaign with consecutive losses – including a 58-6 mauling from Leeds Rhinos – and only just squeaked into sixth place in the table by two points. Head coach Willie Peters announcing ahead of time that this would be his last season at Craven Park hasn't exactly helped to stabilize the situation, but he'll now want to guide his men to a repeat to engrave his name into Kingston Rovers folklore.

    Ever the bridesmaids, Warrington have another opportunity in 2026 to get over the line and win a first Super League in club history. It's been a fantastic campaign at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, only denied a second-place league finish on points difference. With club and newly named England captain George Williams heading Down Under to the NRL once the season is done, nothing would please him or the Wire faithful more than by lifting the Super League Trophy in two weeks' time.

    Reacher season 5: key information

    - Season 5 renewed before season 4 even aired
    - Will be based on Lee Child's 2015 novel Make Me
    - Alan Ritchson will likely be joined by new cast members
    - No production schedule or release date has been confirmed

    Reacher season 4 has only just ended, and I'm already thinking about what could be to come in Reacher season 5.

    That's partially because I wasn't completely taken with the season 4 storyline. My favorite Reacher seasons are where we see him drifting through small US towns that we've never heard of, punching a load of people as penance for their crimes, and then leaving.

    But season 4 moved us towards a big city political espionage narrative — a move that clearly divided viewers, not just me. But with season 5 already renewed by Amazon, the first plot details reveal that we're heading away from the city once again.

    But what has Prime Video actually told us about what to expect from Reacher season 5? We're breaking down everything from release date speculation to potential cast below.

    With no production schedule currently public, it's going to be a little while before Reacher season 5 hits our screens.

    Based on season 4's filming calendar, which ran from June-November 2025, we can guess that the very earliest we'd see season 5 episodes is late 2027.

    While season 4 aired from August 2026, seasons 1-3 dropped anywhere from December to February, which again, could influence when we might see season 5.

    Renewal news came in May 2026, with Peter Friedlander, Head of Global Television, Amazon MGM Studios, explaining in a statement: “The series’ ability to combine high-octane action with compelling character storytelling continues to resonate with tens of millions of viewers around the world.

    "We’re excited to move forward with a fifth season ahead of Season 4's debut and to build on this incredible momentum.”

    Reacher season 5 trailer: is there one?

    Don't be silly. It took us until the end of July 2026 to get one for season 4, so expect the first full trailer to arrive around two weeks before the fifth season does.

    As Reacher's supporting cast tends to change on a season-to-season basis, the only person we can guarantee will return for season 5 is Reacher himself: Alan Ritchson.

    However, past cast members such as Neagley (Maria Sten) appeared in multiple seasons of the show, so there's currently nothing stopping the below season 4 cast from returning:

    • Alan Ritchson as Jack Reacher
    • Sydelle Noel as Tamara Green
    • Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette as Jacob Merrick
    • Kevin Corrigan as Detective Shaun Docherty
    • Kevin Weisman as Russell Plum

    The above hugely depends on how closely show creators will follow the original novel's source material. We can quite easily rule out Neagley's return now that she has her own spinoff.

    New faces will likely be announced as filming kicks off, so watch this space.

    Reacher season 5 plot predictions

    We know that Reacher season 5 will adapt Child's novel Make Me, which is the 20th installment in his Jack Reacher series.

    In short, Reacher arrives at a remote, quiet prairie stop named Mother's Rest. There he meets Michelle Chang, a former FBI agent turned private investigator who is searching for her missing partner, Keever. Together, they trace clues across Chicago, Los Angeles, and the Deep Web, uncovering a horrific online operation.

    With the local townspeople hostile and incredibly cryptic, it feels as though the season's tone will be more similar to seasons 1 and 3. However, the ties to bigger cities — particularly Chicago — provides a potential gateway for old characters to return.

    At this stage, we're running before we can walk. I'm just glad that once again, the small town feeling wins out.

    Black Panther 3: key information

    - Officially announced in July 2026
    - One of three movies that's part of Marvel Phase 7
    - Set to debut in December 2028
    - Filming yet to begin, so no trailer/footage to pore over
    - First cast members confirmed
    - No story details have been unveiled
    - Unclear on how it'll impact the MCU

    Black Panther 3 is already primed to round out Marvel's 2028 line-up on the big screen. Indeed, with its launch set for December 2028, we know it'll be one of three movies the comic book giant will release in just over two years' time.

    What do we know so far about our next trip to Wakanda? Below, I've rounded up all the latest information on the forthcoming Marvel film, including its official release date, confirmed cast, and more. Let's dive in, then — altogether now: Yibambe!

    Black Panther 3 release date

    Black Panther 3 is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters worldwide on December 15, 2028. That launch date was revealed during Marvel's Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2026 in late July.

    There's no word on when filming might begin or how much of the script has been written. However, it's highly unlikely the cameras will start rolling until principal photography has wrapped on Avengers: Secret Wars, aka the final film of the Marvel Multiverse Saga.

    The reason? Some of Black Panther 3's confirmed cast (more on them shortly) will appear in the sixth Avengers movie, so it won't enter full production until they're available to shoot it.

    Black Panther 3 trailer: is there one?

    We won't see a trailer starring Shuri (pictured) or any other Wakandan for a good while yet (Image credit: Marvel Studios)

    No — and it's going to be a long time before a teaser for the next Black Panther movie is publicly released.

    If I had to guess, I expect its first trailer will be unveiled at SDCC 2028. That's a good 18 months away, so don't expect me to update this article section for some time.

    Black Panther 3 confirmed cast

    Per Marvel.com, here's the confirmed cast so far:

    • David Jonsson as T'Challa II
    • Letitia Wright as Shuri
    • Winston Duke as M'Baku

    Jonsson (Alien: Romulus, The Long Walk) was officially announced as T'Challa II — FYI, his legal name is Toussaint — at SDCC 2026.

    We first met T'Challa's son in the final scene of 2022's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, but it was unclear if he'd ever succeed his father and become the technologically advanced African nation's new protector-in-chief.

    Indeed, speaking exclusively to TechRadar back in February 2025, Black Panther producer Nate Moore suggested that the eponymous hero wouldn't be played by a third actor. The first two being, of course, the late Chadwick Boseman, who played T'Challa before his passing in August 2021, and Letitia Wright, whose Marvel character Shuri assumed the mantle in Wakanda Forever.

    Now, though, we know that Jonsson will play the grown-up version of T'Challa II. Chatting to Empire magazine, Marvel President Kevin Feige revealed Jonsson was cast after a secret meeting in February 2026, so Moore wasn't pulling the wool over our eyes 12 months earlier.

    Meanwhile, Wright told Entertainment Weekly that she's happy for Jonsson to take ownership of the role, although there's no word on whether Shuri will have passed the torch by the start of this movie, or whether it'll happen as part of its plot.

    Jonsson won't be the only Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) debutant in Black Panther 3.

    Speaking on The Today Show in late 2025, multi-award-winning actor Denzel Washington dropped the bombshell that he'll appear in the threequel. Per Variety, Washington personally called director Ryan Coogler to apologize for jumping the gun on that announcement, but everything's been smoothed over now. Indeed, Coogler doubled down on Washington's casting during a chat with people.com, though he declined to reveal the identity of the A-lister's character.

    As for other stars who might feature, it's possible Danai Gurira might return as Okoye, the former head of Wakanda's Dora Milaje. Lupita Nyong'o could be back as Nakia, aka T'Challa II's mom, too. Until Marvel announces their returns, I'll keep them off the confirmed cast list.

    Black Panther 3 plot rumors

    Predictably, there are no story details for Black Panther 3. Marvel is fully focused on Avengers: Doomsday, which arrives in cinemas this December, and its Secret Wars sequel, which comes out in December 2027. With the MCU's future being dictated by what happens in these films, we won't have any concrete information about Black Panther 3's plot until the Multiverse Saga has drawn to a close.

    That said, there are a couple of things we can speculate on.

    For starters, if T'Challa II adopts the Black Panther mantle and also plans on ruling Wakanda, M'Baku — the leader of the Jabari Tribe and the African nation's current monarch — would need to step aside. Will he do so willingly, or will T'Challa II have to fight him in ritual combat for that honor?

    Then, as I mentioned earlier, it'll be interesting to see if T'Challa II is already the new Black Panther by the time this Marvel Phase 7 movie starts. The alternative is that he'll replace Shuri at some point during its runtime. This might be a better way of introducing T'Challa II to audiences and giving him a traditional hero's journey to embark on before he becomes the Black Panther's latest custodian.

    On top of all that, we'll eventually learn if Washington's character is an ally or enemy of Wakanda's aristocracy, and what role the fictional kingdom will play in version 2.0 of the MCU (I'll circle back to this in a moment). Furthermore, we should find out whether Boseman's legacy as T'Challa, and his untimely death, will loom as large over proceedings as it did in Wakanda Forever. Once more has been discussed by those involved in the movie's production, I'll update this section.

    How will Black Panther 3 impact the MCU?

    In short: nobody knows. As I said earlier, we've got to get through Doomsday and Secret Wars before we know what version 2.0 of the MCU will look like. Once we do, we'll have a better understanding of how Black Panther and Wakanda fit into Marvel's streamlined cinematic universe.

    While we wait, find out everything we know so far about Avengers: Doomsday and then get the full lowdown on Avengers: Secret Wars.

    Once you're done, learn all there is to know about VisionQuest before getting the complete scoop on Daredevil: Born Again season 3 ahead of both projects hitting Disney+.

    Indeed, speaking exclusively to TechRadar back in February 2025, Black Panther producer Nate Moore suggested that the eponymous hero wouldn't be played by a third actor. The first two being, of course, the late Chadwick Boseman, who played T'Challa before his passing in August 2021, and Letitia Wright, whose Marvel character Shuri assumed the mantle in Wakanda Forever.

    Now, though, we know that Jonsson will play the grown-up version of T'Challa II. Chatting to Empire magazine, Marvel President Kevin Feige revealed Jonsson was cast after a secret meeting in February 2026, so Moore wasn't pulling the wool over our eyes 12 months earlier.

    Meanwhile, Wright told Entertainment Weekly that she's happy for Jonsson to take ownership of the role, although there's no word on whether Shuri will have passed the torch by the start of this movie, or whether it'll happen as part of its plot.

    Jonsson won't be the only Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) debutant in Black Panther 3.

    Speaking on The Today Show in late 2025, multi-award-winning actor Denzel Washington dropped the bombshell that he'll appear in the threequel. Per Variety, Washington personally called director Ryan Coogler to apologize for jumping the gun on that announcement, but everything's been smoothed over now. Indeed, Coogler doubled down on Washington's casting during a chat with people.com, though he declined to reveal the identity of the A-lister's character.

    As for other stars who might feature, it's possible Danai Gurira might return as Okoye, the former head of Wakanda's Dora Milaje. Lupita Nyong'o could be back as Nakia, aka T'Challa II's mom, too. Until Marvel announces their returns, I'll keep them off the confirmed cast list.

    Black Panther 3 plot rumors

    Predictably, there are no story details for Black Panther 3. Marvel is fully focused on Avengers: Doomsday, which arrives in cinemas this December, and its Secret Wars sequel, which comes out in December 2027. With the MCU's future being dictated by what happens in these films, we won't have any concrete information about Black Panther 3's plot until the Multiverse Saga has drawn to a close.

    That said, there are a couple of things we can speculate on.

    For starters, if T'Challa II adopts the Black Panther mantle and also plans on ruling Wakanda, M'Baku — the leader of the Jabari Tribe and the African nation's current monarch — would need to step aside. Will he do so willingly, or will T'Challa II have to fight him in ritual combat for that honor?

    Then, as I mentioned earlier, it'll be interesting to see if T'Challa II is already the new Black Panther by the time this Marvel Phase 7 movie starts. The alternative is that he'll replace Shuri at some point during its runtime. This might be a better way of introducing T'Challa II to audiences and giving him a traditional hero's journey to embark on before he becomes the Black Panther's latest custodian.

    On top of all that, we'll eventually learn if Washington's character is an ally or enemy of Wakanda's aristocracy, and what role the fictional kingdom will play in version 2.0 of the MCU (I'll circle back to this in a moment). Furthermore, we should find out whether Boseman's legacy as T'Challa, and his untimely death, will loom as large over proceedings as it did in Wakanda Forever. Once more has been discussed by those involved in the movie's production, I'll update this section.

    How will Black Panther 3 impact the MCU?

    In short: nobody knows. As I said earlier, we've got to get through Doomsday and Secret Wars before we know what version 2.0 of the MCU will look like. Once we do, we'll have a better understanding of how Black Panther and Wakanda fit into Marvel's streamlined cinematic universe.

    While we wait, find out everything we know so far about Avengers: Doomsday and then get the full lowdown on Avengers: Secret Wars.

    Once you're done, learn all there is to know about VisionQuest before getting the complete scoop on Daredevil: Born Again season 3 ahead of both projects hitting Disney+.

    • Watch Brighton vs Arsenal live streams as the Seagulls attempt to become the first team this season to deny the reigning Premier League champions a victory. To do so, they’ll have to end a run of seven games without a win over the Gunners in all competitions.

    Despite injuries to key attackers including Yankuba Minteh, free-scoring Brighton have no problem finding the back of the net. They’ve struck 13 times in just four league games — three more than any other team — and hit a further three against Man Utd in midweek as they came from 2-0 down to knock the Red Devils out of the League Cup. However, breaking down a resolute Arsenal defense will present a far tougher challenge and manager Fabian Hürzeler will need his side to deliver a near-perfect display, not impossible with Old Trafford matchwinner Maxim De Cuyper in red-hot form on the left wing.

    Having won a first Premier League title in 22 years and significantly strengthened over the summer, Arsenal have continued the momentum by winning their first seven games of the campaign in all competitions. Worryingly for their rivals, the Gunners have conceded just three times in those fixtures, while going forward, Kai Havertz, Martin Ødegaard and Bukayo Saka have started the season in superb form. They’ll be confident of blunting Brighton’s attack and converting their chances to continue their winning run.

    • The Millwall vs West Ham live stream is one of the standout fixtures taking place in the English Football League this weekend. It is fair to say there is no love lost between these two teams, whose last meeting was back in 2012. Expect fireworks at The Den.

    West Ham have made a strong start to the Championship season and lead the way after seven rounds of fixtures. Nuno Espírito Santo has several players of Premier League quality at his disposal, not least captain Jarrod Bowen, who four goals to his name already in Championship this season. It is therefore no surprise that West Ham sit at the summit of the standings. However, this will be a real test in southeast London.

    Millwall finished third last term, before losing to Hull City in the semi-finals of the play-offs. A top-eight finish is the aim once again this season, although the Lions are working on a relatively tight budget. Visiting teams do not relish going to The Den, though, and a fierce atmosphere is guaranteed when West Ham arrive on Saturday.

    Read on to find out how to watch the Millwall vs West Ham 2026/27 live stream from anywhere in the world.

    The Millwall vs West Ham live stream is one of the standout fixtures taking place in the English Football League this weekend. It is fair to say there is no love lost between these two teams, whose last meeting was back in 2012. Expect fireworks at The Den.

    West Ham have made a strong start to the Championship season and lead the way after seven rounds of fixtures. Nuno Espírito Santo has several players of Premier League quality at his disposal, not least captain Jarrod Bowen, who four goals to his name already in Championship this season. It is therefore no surprise that West Ham sit at the summit of the standings. However, this will be a real test in southeast London.

    Millwall finished third last term, before losing to Hull City in the semi-finals of the play-offs. A top-eight finish is the aim once again this season, although the Lions are working on a relatively tight budget. Visiting teams do not relish going to The Den, though, and a fierce atmosphere is guaranteed when West Ham arrive on Saturday.

    ]]>     <![CDATA[ ICYMI: the 7 biggest tech stories of the week, from AI apocalypse warnings to our Apple CEO interview ]]> This week was a little quieter than last in the tech news space — if you ignore the hullabaloo caused by various AI companies that their models might one day kill us all if regulation doesn’t arrive.

    A bit heavier than an Apple iPhone event, but important nonetheless.

    To catch up on that and this week’s lighter (but still essential and biggest) tech news stories, scroll down for our ICYMI recaps and links to the full articles. But before you read about the news, you might want to try your hand at our quiz to see how much you remember of last week's ICYMI roundup.

    7. We interviewed John Ternus

    You've just been named CEO of one of the world’s most important tech companies; what runs through your mind? I asked John Ternus that question to his face, and his answer was perfect. It was all part of a wide-ranging interview we conducted with our friends over at Tom’s Guide. Lots of good bits about what innovation means at Apple and why the Cupertino giant is finally making a foldable.

    6. Google Live Translate went offline

    Google Translate

    Arguably the best Google Translate tool is its Live feature — which lets you converse with someone in your respective native tongue, and each sees a real-time translation of what the other has said.

    It can break down the language barrier, if you have an internet connection, that is, though that is changing.

    Google has started rolling out an offline mode for Live Translate. There are some limitations — it only supports translation from English to French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Russian, and Swedish — and it’s only coming to the Google Pixel 11 series, Pixel 10 line, and Pixel 9 series.

    5. Canon launched the EOS R8 Mark II

    (Image credit: Tim Coleman)

    Canon has debuted the EOS R8 Mark II, with a design that supposedly takes its cues from decades-old analog SLR cameras — there's a slight resemblance, but we'd argue that Canon's design department could have been given a bit more latitude.

    Nonetheless, the second-generation model introduces useful upgrades over the original EOS R8, for a price that could tempt Canon enthusiasts who want powerful features but who don't need the tough build quality, high-spec displays, or long-lasting battery life of the EOS R6 series.

    4. We tried the Snap Specs

    A decade on from Snap’s first Spectacles launch (back when it was still Snapchat), we’ve tried the next evolution in its wearable tech: full-on AR glasses, and they’re incredible.

    They’re still quite chunky, and the demo wasn’t without its quirks, but they were fun to use and comfortable to wear.

    You can currently pre-order the Snap Specs for an eye-watering $2,195 (around £1,640 / AU$3,090) with a $200 deposit.

    3. We reviewed Apple's tech

    Apple Watch Ultra 4 Review

    We reviewed all of Apple’s new tech, and yet again we were impressed.

    The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max take last year’s Pro reinvention and refine it in all the right places — but the cameras are where Apple has made the biggest leap, with a variable aperture and finally useful Pro controls.

    Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Ultra 4 might look and be priced similarly to what came before, but the big difference is the battery — with a promised up to 50 hours in normal use, up to 84 hours in Low Power Mode, and up to 45 hours in Max Extended Workout Mode.

    The Apple Watch 12 feels fresh with a new health-sensing system, a new SoC under the hood to power some new features, and a good bit of AI on top of what we knew was coming with watchOS 27.

    2. iOS 27 gave our iPhones a huge upgrade

    Three iPhones being held showing iOS 27 features

    (Image credit: Apple)

    This week Apple gave millions of iPhones their biggest software upgrade this year. iOS 27 rolled out (if you haven’t got it yet, check General > Software Update), and it includes Siri AI — a new version of the voice assistant that is, finally, good.

    Like all major iOS updates, there are lots of smaller quality-of-life upgrades that we’re enjoying too. These include the ability to make Shortcuts with natural language, a neat ‘Reframe’ feature for Photos, and the long-awaited option to set alarm volumes separately from your main ringtone. We’d highly recommend downloading iOS 27 now if you haven’t already.

    1. We debated AI slowdown

    Sam Altman testifies before Congress

    (Image credit: C-Span)

    In a move that’s managed to draw in commentary from Donald Trump, JD Vance, and pretty much every major news organization on the planet, some of the biggest names in AI — including Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, and Elon Musk — are calling for the development of frontier models to slow down while stronger safeguards are introduced.

    They argue that increasingly capable, autonomous AI could escape human control, attack critical infrastructure or help bad actors create catastrophic weapons. Proposed protections include independent evaluators inside AI companies, international safety standards, government oversight, “kill switches” and restrictions on releasing especially powerful models.

    Donald Trump rejects these concerns as a “hoax”, arguing that slowing development would damage the US economy and hand China an advantage in the global AI race. That means global consensus on how AI regulation should work is unlikely to arrive anytime soon. Until then, we better hope our new AI overlords are as bad at reaching a global consensus as us.

    • Watch Roosters vs Sharks in an NRL 2026 Semi-Final that features a fascinating clash of styles in a sudden-death shootout, with the loser's season over. Sydney won both matches in the ladder but the full-strength Cronulla-Sutherland are ready to spring the upset.

    The Roosters went neck-and-neck with the Panthers last weekend, with only Brian To'o's 77th-minute try adding a gloss to proceedings for the latter's 19-12 victory. Trent Robinson will be keen for his side to dust themselves down and record a third win of the year over the Sharks, a goal helped by Salesi Foketi being passed fit after an HIA last week. Second-rower Egan Butcher is out with concussion, but Angus Chrichton is back at interchange for the first time since Week 15.

    The Sharks were excellent in the Elimination Final last week, with Braydon Trindall and Nicho Hynes feeding the outside backs with regular ball. Their late-season form has generally been good and they come into this game with a near full-strength squad as back-up hooker Jayden Berrell returns to the bench. Hynes' battle with Roosters' experienced opposite number Daly Cherry-Evans promises to be fascinating.

  • Watch Hawthorn vs Brisbane FREE on 7Plus (Australia)
  • Unlock your stream with NordVPN (save 75%)
  • Hawthorn vs Brisbane kick-off: Sat, Sep 19 at 3.15am ET / 8.15am BST / 5:15pm AEST

    • Hawthorn's reward for trouncing the minor premiers is the matchup they'd been hoping to avoid – a date with back-to-back reigning premiers Brisbane, who pasted the Hawks by 67 points just last month. On a more positive note, Sam Mitchell's men do at least have home advantage after a week off.

    The reason it stings so much is that Hawthorn, who last reached the Grand Final back in 2015, have beaten both of the other preliminary finalists this season. Meanwhile, they've lost each of their past three meetings with the Lions.

    The Dingley Village outfit needs to find a way to cast aside all of the bad omens, because Brisbane has made a routine of dominating September football. Even more ominously, Chris Fagan's men have closed each of their last two campaigns with back-to-back triumphs at the MCG.

    They do, however, have a major injury concern. Noah Answerth, who played a pivotal role in their 125-58 victory over Hawthon six weeks ago by suffocating Nick Watson, hurt his ankle in the defeat by Sydney a fortnight ago, and missed the semi-final as a result. Either Ryan Lester or Darcy Wilmot will likely fill in if he still isn't right, but the Wizard will take either of them over Answerth.

  • Watch Family Full House With Rohit Sharma on Sony LIV
  • Use NordVPN to watch Sony LIV when abroad
  • First episode arrives on Saturday, September 19 at 9:30pm IST

    • Sony’s all-new show, Family Full House With Rohit Sharma, is set to go on floors this Saturday, September 19, 2026. Indian cricket star Sharma, best known for his three ODI double centuries and leading India to the 2024 T20 World Cup title, is all set for yet another debut – this time, off the field.

    The date is special for Rohit himself, as it was the same date when he made his T20I debut. This time, though, fans will be seeing Rohit off the field in his quirky, outspoken “Shana” avatar. He’s well known for his cheeky stump-cam remarks, which have gone viral on multiple occasions.

    His now-famous “Koi bhi garden mein nahi ghumega” (nobody will stroll in the garden) outburst is perhaps the best example, becoming one of Indian cricket’s most-shared memes. Sony appears to be leaning on this familiarity and Rohit’s outspoken personality for its fresh TV entertainment show.

    With Kapil Sharma leaving Sony for Netflix – which also has Samay Raina on its catalog – Sony needed something to pull Indian family audiences. What little we know is that it will be a game-format family show where Rohit will be at his relaxed best, interacting with participants through various games and challenges.

    The trailer for the first episode shows cricket stars like Shreyas Iyer, Shardul Thakur, and Abhishek Nayar as guests, along with famous Bollywood comic actor Kunal Khemu, who will be there to promote his upcoming movie Vibe. The promotional trailers also showed glimpses of Shikhar Dhawan and his wife Sophie Shine, as well as local comedy stars Bharti Singh, Chandan Prabhakar, Haarsh Limbachiyaa, and other influencers like Jannat Zubair.

  • Russia's Scientific and Production Center Ushkuynik says ten disassembled Skorlupa hulls fit in one GAZelle van
  • Each hull can be assembled in an estimated four hours (by Russian estimates) using a cordless screwdriver and can travel up to 200 km while carrying up to 250 kg of payloads
  • The Skorlupa comes with up to four communication modules and can carry up to four fiber-optic drones, allowing it to serve as both a mothership for attack or recon drones and a one-way attack craft

    • Russia's Scientific and Production Center Ushkuynik has released new details on Skorlupa, a light uncrewed surface vessel whose headline feature isn't speed, stealth, or sensors.

    According to www1.ru, company CEO Alexey Chadayev says ten of the boats fit into the cargo bed of a single GAZelle light van when broken down, and that one hull goes together in about four hours with an ordinary screwdriver.

    The hull is cut from water-repellent plywood, and Chadayev told the Russian government daily Rossiyskaya Gazeta, in an interview published on September 8 (RU) around the International Technological Congress 2026, that the craft can be produced at any furniture factory and costs roughly a fifth of a conventional naval drone.

    A low-cost alternative in an increasingly asymmetrical war?

    As the Russia-Ukraine conflict enters its fifth year, both sides have innovated, focusing on drones and autonomous vehicles to save lives, operate remotely, and minimize costs.

    The Skorlupa does just that: the developer cites a 200 km range and a 250 kg payload, letting operators use it remotely while cutting costs as Russia and Ukraine struggle to fund their war efforts.

    It can also be used in two ways: as a one-way strike platform, delivering an explosive against a ship's hull; or as a mothership, carrying four fiber-optic aerial drones housed under a deck skin that folds open on command.

    As the war drags on, it's increasingly becoming one that demands practical and cost-effective solutions that do not endanger lives, with Ukraine also often pulling off similar approaches, including retrofitting remote-controlled kits to Humvees and Operation Spiderweb, which ingeniously launched attacks from within Russia's borders on its airfields, dealing damage that amounted to billions of dollars.

    Skorlupa does something similar that makes it immune to jamming: it is controlled by a physical fiber-optic cable that lets it function even in areas where it would otherwise be cut off from wireless communications. This is also why the KVN has become one of Russia's most-used FPV drones.

    A non-emitting boat carrying non-emitting drones is effectively unjammable and hard to counter, and with millions of Russia's KVN drones already in play, it would be a well-supplied Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) to build up a naval and aerial threat in a region where Ukraine regularly takes the initiative on the former.

    As Alexey Chadayev pointed out in his interview, "With a Skorlupa like this, you can wreck any seaport without missiles," while noting that it can be made at any furniture factory.

    • Russia's Scientific and Production Center Ushkuynik says ten disassembled Skorlupa hulls fit in one GAZelle van
    • Each hull can be assembled in an estimated four hours (by Russian estimates) using a cordless screwdriver and can travel up to 200 km while carrying up to 250 kg of payloads
    • The Skorlupa comes with up to four communication modules and can carry up to four fiber-optic drones, allowing it to serve as both a mothership for attack or recon drones and a one-way attack craft

    Russia's Scientific and Production Center Ushkuynik has released new details on Skorlupa, a light uncrewed surface vessel whose headline feature isn't speed, stealth, or sensors.

    According to www1.ru, company CEO Alexey Chadayev says ten of the boats fit into the cargo bed of a single GAZelle light van when broken down, and that one hull goes together in about four hours with an ordinary screwdriver.

    The hull is cut from water-repellent plywood, and Chadayev told the Russian government daily Rossiyskaya Gazeta, in an interview published on September 8 (RU) around the International Technological Congress 2026, that the craft can be produced at any furniture factory and costs roughly a fifth of a conventional naval drone.

    A low-cost alternative in an increasingly asymmetrical war?

    As the Russia-Ukraine conflict enters its fifth year, both sides have innovated, focusing on drones and autonomous vehicles to save lives, operate remotely, and minimize costs.

    The Skorlupa does just that: the developer cites a 200 km range and a 250 kg payload, letting operators use it remotely while cutting costs as Russia and Ukraine struggle to fund their war efforts.

  • Retired UK hobbyist builds 8-bit computer from 460 recycled tubes, all wired as NOR gates, on a 190 x 130 cm wall panel
  • The machine is expected to run a flight simulator program once completely finished, but the builder is currently working on the status system that would allow it to do so
  • Previous versions of the machine have gone 'bang' twice, as noted by the tinkerer, prompting him to keep a fire extinguisher handy for his experiment

    • A retired hobbyist in the UK who identifies himself only as Mike has hung an 8-bit computer built from 460 recycled vacuum tubes on a brick wall in his home, and over the past ten days, it has seen widespread press coverage.

    The machine is real, the glow is real, the smell is real, and the accompanying documentation is unusually candid and detailed for what is essentially a DIY project.

    The tinkerer is currently trying to use the computer to run a flight simulator he has already coded but has yet to get the hardware into a state where it can run.

    Soviet-era tech meets a hobbyist and a computer is born

    Mike's technical write-up makes it clear that we have a well-designed, well-researched 8-bit computer that packs 920 triodes into 460 Soviet-designed 6N3P double triodes, each wired as an identical NOR gate.

    The registers, counters, 8-bit arithmetic logic unit, ring-oscillator clock, and small tube RAM are all assembled from that single building block, an approach Hackaday traces to the Apollo Guidance Computer.

    The tubes sit on 46 ten-tube plug-in boards across five backplanes on a 190 by 130 cm acrylic panel that weighs roughly 20 kg. The instruction set supports 16 operations; the ALU adds, XNOR, increment, NOT, and carry, and a carry register lets the 8-bit machine chain 16-, 32-, 64-, and even 128-bit arithmetic, slowly.

    However, there is no pipeline: six fetch cycles, one execute, one unused, and this is intentional, with Mike saying that the timing logic implemented is a bit too complex compared to the rest of the system.

    One design choice matters more than the rest: Mike keeps the high-tension supply below 100 V, well under the 150 V anode rating the Valve Museum datasheet lists for the 6N3P and far below the several hundred volts typical of legacy tube equipment. That is what lets him pack components 2 mm apart under each socket, allowing for a much more 'minimal' look than would otherwise be possible, and it is also why he can describe a wall of hot glass as nearly, but not quite, safe to touch.

    About a minute after switch-on, the tubes glow red from the side, and the room fills with the smell of hundreds of double triodes burning off their dust. This gives it its 'pleasant homely aroma,' as the hobbyist puts it.

    The machine currently drives a bank of ex-British Rail flip-digit displays, made by Bodet for 1980s station clocks, and is expected to power a rudimentary flight simulator system down the line.

    The experiment has had its lows, though, with Mike reporting that it has gone "BANG" at least twice with earlier iterations; the first time he pulled plugs in a panic, and the second time his wife Judy carried on decorating the Christmas tree, later buying him a fire extinguisher as a precaution.

    While the flight simulator is a work in progress, the aroma is here to stay, and Mike seems determined to see his project, which encapsulates tech from the previous century, through to completion.

    • Watch Asian Games 2026 live streams, with tennis superstar Alexandra Eala, 100m freestyle world record holder Pan Zhanle and javelin supremo Rumesh Pathirage among the headline acts at this colossal multi-sport event with no shortage of world and Olympic champions.

    And we really do mean colossal. Just shy of 20,000 athletes are competing for 469 medals across 43 disciplines in Nagoya, Aichi and Japan at large. For context, around 10,000 athletes participated at Paris 2024.

    Gymnasts Zhang Boheng, Carlos Yulo and Zou Jingyuan, badminton stars An Se-young, PV Sindhu and Yamaguchi Akane, diver Quan Hongchan and the Indian men's and women's cricket teams are also set to light up the games. Then there's Sri Lankan world No1 javelin thrower Pathirage, who must contend with his spears being damaged in transit.

    The viral South Korean shooter Kim Ye-ji, sadly, is not competing, while tennis star Qinwen Zheng has opted to play in the China Open instead, leaving Eala as the biggest name in the draw.

    Watch Asian Games 2026 live streams, with tennis superstar Alexandra Eala, 100m freestyle world record holder Pan Zhanle and javelin supremo Rumesh Pathirage among the headline acts at this colossal multi-sport event with no shortage of world and Olympic champions.

    And we really do mean colossal. Just shy of 20,000 athletes are competing for 469 medals across 43 disciplines in Nagoya, Aichi and Japan at large. For context, around 10,000 athletes participated at Paris 2024.

    Gymnasts Zhang Boheng, Carlos Yulo and Zou Jingyuan, badminton stars An Se-young, PV Sindhu and Yamaguchi Akane, diver Quan Hongchan and the Indian men's and women's cricket teams are also set to light up the games. Then there's Sri Lankan world No1 javelin thrower Pathirage, who must contend with his spears being damaged in transit.

    The viral South Korean shooter Kim Ye-ji, sadly, is not competing, while tennis star Qinwen Zheng has opted to play in the China Open instead, leaving Eala as the biggest name in the draw.

    Along with many of the events you'd expect to see, there's also eSports, kabaddi and the incomparable sepak takraw on the Asian Games program.

    USA flag

    (Image credit: Other)

    In the US, dedicated cricket streaming service Willow TV has done a late deal to show over 700 hours of the Asian Games 2026.

    Cricket is the main factor here, but plenty of other sports will also be on Willow TV, which will launch three temporary pop-up channels for the event — Asian Games 1, 2, and 3.

    If you don't have Willow TV as part of your cable package, you can watch Willow coverage through your choice of Sling TV's Desi Binge Plus or Dakshin Flex plans – starting from $10 per month.

    Outside the US? Use NordVPN to watch Willow TV's Asian Games 2026 coverage from anywhere.

    It's the same in Canada, where Willow TV is also available and will be showing the Asian Games 2026.

    It's the same vibe as the US, too, with Willow TV available on cable or via OTT streamers like Sling from $10 per month.

    Outside Canada? Use NordVPN to watch Willow TV's Asian Games 2026 coverage from anywhere.

    Can I watch Asian Games 2026 in the UK or Australia?

    The 2026 Asian Games haven't picked up a broadcasting partner in the UK or Australia.

    If you're from Singapore, South Korea, Vietnam, China or Malaysia but you're abroad for work or a vacation, however, a VPN will help you tune in to Aichi–Nagoya. NordVPN is the one we recommend above all others.

    The answers to today's Quordle, game #1699, are…

    • SCOPE
    • HEIST
    • PULSE
    • CHAMP

    I played this game very tactically, waiting until the latest moment, and ruling out another word beginning with the letter P, before guessing CHAMP.

    When you can see a word from the start, but cannot be certain, it’s really hard not to follow your hunch — well, it is for me anyway — so I’m pleased with my restraint.

    • My score: 1 mistake

    I fell straight down today’s trapdoor linking STICK FIGURE, BRANCH OUT, LOG CABIN and TWIGGY.

    Had I looked at the board a bit more carefully I would have spotted that TWIGGY had to be connected to the famously skinny model and the other tiles ASSOCIATED WITH SWINGING LONDON IN THE 1960S. Alas, fools rush in.

    Fortunately this was a relatively easy game and I was thankfully able to collect WIDEN ONE’S SCOPE and FEATURES OF A KID'S DRAWING, as STARTING WITH ABBREVIATED MATH FUNCTIONS went way above my head.

    Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Friday, September 18, 2026, game #1195)

    • YELLOW: SEGMENT OF A PROCESS: PHASE, ROUND, STAGE, STEP

    • PURPLE: ____ CASE: BRIEF, PILLOW, STAIR, UPPER

    What is NYT Connections?

    NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.

    On the plus side, you don't technically need to solve the final one, as you'll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What's more, you can make up to three mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.

    It's a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.

    It's playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.

    From here, the search was a little bit trickier, but I managed to avoid the temptation of using a hint as the theme tune to Pirates of the Caribbean buzzed around my head.

    ]]>     <![CDATA[ Tiny Dutch startup enlists Samsung as backer as it seeks to dethrone Nvidia AI GPU — but Euclyd won't get its inference chip out till 2028 ]]>
  • Samsung has backed a tiny Dutch chipmaker targeting Nvidia
  • Euclyd raised $231 million before shipping its first commercial chip
  • Euclyd plans to sell complete AI systems directly to enterprises but will not deliver its first hardware until 2028

    • Samsung has joined a group of investors backing a small Netherlands-based chip designer aiming to challenge Nvidia's dominance in artificial intelligence hardware.

    The startup, called Euclyd, closed a funding round worth $231 million, drawing support from several firms beyond the South Korean electronics giant.

    According to Bernardo Kastrup, Chief Executive of Euclyd, commercial hardware from the company will not reach customers until 2028

    A chip built to rival Nvidia's grip

    Euclyd's Series A round totalled €200 million and was co-led by Somerset Capital Partners, the Scaleup Europe Fund, and Innovation Industries, alongside Samsung.

    In an exclusive interview with CNBC, Kastrup said that the capital would support two separate lines of business going forward.

    One involves selling physical hardware and rack systems directly to enterprises wanting to run their own AI inference securely on-site.

    The other involves licensing the underlying intellectual property to firms that want to build their own chips using Euclyd's designs.

    Founded in 2024, the company is developing a chip system built around a different architecture than conventional graphics processors, covering both the processor and memory layers.

    Nvidia's GPUs were originally built for video games but became central to AI training and inference and pushed the company to become the world's most valuable.

    That dominance now covers the market for the very highest performing chips available today, though rivals are emerging quickly.

    “AI is becoming a foundation of economic growth, scientific discovery and national competitiveness, but its potential will remain constrained unless we fundamentally change the infrastructure beneath it,” Kastrup said.

    Why Samsung's involvement matters beyond cash

    Kastrup revealed that Samsung's contribution extends well past the money it committed to the round.

    "Samsung can help us in more ways than money. They are one of the biggest memory manufacturers in the world,” said Kastrup. “They do a lot of engineering, they know a lot about systems, they know the supply chain, they have a huge network."

    Although Euclyd expects to commence shipping its chips in two years, the company plans to serve thousands of enterprise customers by 2030.

    The company's systems remain unproven at any meaningful commercial scale so far, leaving real-world performance an open question.

    Several major technology firms are pursuing similar paths away from dependence on Nvidia's processors for AI workloads.

    OpenAI announced in August that its first in-house AI chip, named Jalapeño, delivered industry-leading speed and efficiency.

    Google, Amazon Web Services, and Meta are each developing their own chips for internal AI use as well.

    Whether a small Dutch startup with no shipped product can meaningfully dent Nvidia's position remains genuinely uncertain given the scale involved.

    ]]>     <![CDATA[ US Army confirms it has 'space control weapons' active in orbit to ensure it 'can operate freely there' ]]>
  • America has finally admitted that its weapons are already operating in orbit
  • Orbital jammers remain one possible explanation for America's undisclosed systems
  • Kinetic weapons could create dangerous debris across already crowded orbital regions

    • The US has publicly acknowledged for the first time that it operates weapons in orbit, a declaration made during a defense conference near Washington.

    No detail was offered about the systems' design, deployment date, testing record, or intended battlefield use.

    That silence has left analysts to speculate about what the weapons actually are and how they might function.

    No details provided

    “We are not going to talk about the specifics of what we're doing, whether we've tested it, not tested it, or anything else,” said Troy Meink, Secretary of the Air Force.

    The statement confirmed weapons exist in orbit while withholding almost every operational detail that would clarify their real capability.

    “I would just say that the space environment is critical for military and economic security, and we need to make sure that the US can operate freely there,” Meink added.

    The disclosure functioned more as a signal meant to unsettle rivals than as a genuine accounting of what the United States has actually built or deployed.

    Space control, in military terms, spans a wide range of tools, including jammers, spoofers, lasers, and kinetic hardware.

    Victoria Samson, chief director of space security at the Secure World Foundation, suggested orbital jammers likely match whatever system was referenced.

    Kinetic weapons remain a less probable candidate given how much debris such an attack would generate for everyone in orbit.

    That debris risk explains why American officials have long favoured non-destructive counterspace tools over ones capable of shattering a satellite outright.

    Why Washington chose this moment

    Russian and Chinese counterspace activity, much of it tied directly to ongoing conflicts, appears to have driven the timing of this admission.

    Russian hackers disabled tens of thousands of modems tied to the Viasat network hours after the conflict in Ukraine started in 2022, crippling communications across parts of Europe.

    Reports from February 2026 indicated two Russian satellites had likely intercepted signals from at least a dozen European spacecraft since that conflict began.

    China's fleet exceeded 1,060 operational satellites by mid-2025, with hundreds dedicated to intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance work supporting its military planning.

    A separate US assessment noted Russia launched a satellite in 2024 positioned near an American reconnaissance spacecraft, widely interpreted as counterspace testing.

    With Russia and China, known rivals of the U.S., making strides, it is expected that the US will flex its muscles as a deterrent.

    However, experts argue that the announcement does not carry enough weight to serve as warning to its rivals.

    “It is too vague to have a meaningful deterrent value,” said Clayton Swope, deputy director of the Aerospace Security Project.

    Effective deterrence, Swope argued, usually depends on adversaries understanding how and when a weapon might actually be used against them.

    Neither Moscow nor Beijing has issued an immediate public response following the American disclosure.

    ]]>     <![CDATA[ New Android malware can deploy AI to automate device control — and it can even bring itself back from the dead ]]>
  • Zimperium zLabs discovered RedHat, a Chinese‑origin Android banking trojan with AI assistant
  • AI interprets screen layouts in real‑time, enabling credential theft and bypassing app redesigns
  • Distributed via third‑party stores, social media, malvertising, and SMS; persistence blocks uninstall attempts

    • There is an Android malware out there that comes with an AI assistant that tells it what to do. The assistant seems to be independent of the malware’s operator, allowing the tool to work without requiring the operators to be present in real-time.

    The malware in question is called RedHat. It was discovered by security researchers Zimperium zLabs, who believe it is of Chinese origin. It is currently being distributed via third-party app stores, social media, malvertising, and SMS spam, and requires Android’s Accessibility permissions to work.

    The malware itself is a typical banking trojan - it creates an invisible overlay every time the victim brings up a banking app, capturing login credentials and one-time passwords, and thus giving attackers direct control over people’s banking accounts.

    AI-powered eyes

    But what makes RedHat stand out from a sea of Android banking trojans is its AI-powered component. The model serves as a kind of remote “eyes and hands” for controlling the victim’s phone.

    Usually, when criminals develop banking trojans, they need to code exact coordinates of the layout for it to work. They need to code where the password is entered, or where the login button is. If the banking app gets redesigned and changes its layout, the malware breaks.

    With AI, that is no longer a problem. RedHat gets a picture of what’s on the screen, sends it to the AI assistant, which then instructs the malware on how to proceed.

    "RatHat uses AI to intelligently navigate and control the device interface in real-time, making its operations more adaptable and harder for security software to detect than traditional, scripted automation," Zimperium explained.

    The tool also has a few advanced persistence mechanisms, being capable of reinstalling deleted components, and intercepting the uninstall process to cancel it while displaying a fake error message to the victim.

    So far, there is no word on who the targets are, or how many people might have been compromised.

  • Seagate study finds 99% of firms expect AI to increase their storage requirements within three years
  • Only 38% of organizations consider themselves fully prepared for future demands
  • Storage infrastructure ranks among the biggest obstacles facing AI deployment

    • New data from Seagate has claimed AI is increasing the business importance of stored information while exposing weaknesses in infrastructure readiness.

    The company's research found 99% of respondents expect AI workloads to increase their storage requirements in the next three years.

    Yet only 38% describe their organizations as completely prepared, while 43% identify storage infrastructure among the leading obstacles to wider AI deployment.

    AI is raising the stakes for storage planning

    The survey gathered responses from more than 2,700 technology decision-makers and found that 86% reported moderate or significant returns from AI investments.

    Among those respondents, 33% said their organizations were already seeing substantial measurable financial or operational benefits from AI initiatives.

    Those returns increase the importance of retaining information that can support future models, applications and decisions across changing business requirements.

    Nearly 7 in 10 respondents expect storage requirements to increase by at least 26%, including 32% anticipating growth exceeding 50%.

    Furthermore, 98% of respondents regard storage as strategic infrastructure rather than simply an administrative technology function.

    The survey nevertheless shows that preparedness remains incomplete, with data quality and readiness identified by 53% as another major deployment difficulty.

    Storage therefore ranks ahead of compute availability, cited by 27%, and energy constraints, which were identified by 24% of respondents.

    The figures indicate that adding computing capacity alone does not resolve the infrastructure limitations organizations encounter when deploying increasingly data-intensive AI systems.

    Sustainability is becoming part of the storage equation

    Infrastructure expansion is also encountering sustainability concerns, with 77% of respondents reporting delays or changes to planned growth.

    Within that figure, 36% said investments had undergone major changes, while another 41% experienced smaller postponements linked to sustainability considerations.

    Power consumption was the most frequently considered environmental factor for storage hardware, cited by 62% of respondents.

    Equipment lifespan followed at 55%, while respondents broadly connected longer hardware service periods with improved sustainability across data center operations.

    Current confidence remains below future expectations, with 39% describing their storage operations as highly sustainable under present conditions, according to survey responses.

    That proportion rises to 61% when respondents assess where their organizations expect storage sustainability to stand five years from now.

    Funding levels also influence those expectations, with 70% of organizations holding sustainability budgets above $100 million expecting highly sustainable operations within five years.

    By comparison, 48% of organizations with annual sustainability budgets below $1 million anticipate reaching that same level during the period.

    Training material, active datasets, model checkpoints and retained outputs can impose substantially different infrastructure requirements throughout an AI system’s lifecycle.

    For organizations expanding AI operations, those differences make storage architecture, equipment lifespan, energy consumption and capacity planning increasingly interconnected decisions.

    The survey does not establish that every organization will face identical costs, although its findings indicate that storage growth is widely anticipated.

  • AMD is rumored to be hiking prices for its chips
  • Industry insiders in the supply chain indicate that a rise of around 10% will be applied across AMD's "entire chip line"
  • This means GPUs and processors, as well as motherboards, and the hike is expected in Q4, so it could happen next month

    • AMD's processors and graphics cards could soon get more expensive in the latest blow from the RAM crisis rumor mill.

    Wccftech spotted that leaker Harukaze5719 highlighted a post from ChannelGate (the Board Channels over in Asia) that cites sources in the supply chain who claim that TSMC has informed its customers of a 10% price rise.

    The post observes that most of AMD's chips are manufactured by TSMC, and that Team Red has in turn notified its customers of a 10% "price adjustment" across its "entire chip product line".

    That means everything, so on the consumer front, we can expect AMD's GPUs and Ryzen processors to be hit with price increases — and motherboard chipsets are also affected, so the price of those AMD boards will climb, too.

    It's worth noting that processors aren't referred to explicitly in the post on the Board Channels, but given the mention of the entirety of AMD's chips, I think we can take that as real (as the leaker Harukaze5719 indicates).

    The sources believe that AMD will enforce this new policy in Q4, so it could happen next month, in theory (although all of this remains a rumor).

    In other RAM crisis bleakness, the Steam Frame arrived earlier this week with a much-inflated price tag compared to what Valve first envisioned for the VR headset. It starts at $1,059 / £889 / AU$1,609, which is a few hundred more dollars than what Valve was thinking originally.

    As PC Gamer reports, a hardware engineer at Valve, Joy Lyons, said, "We set out to design [the Steam Frame] with one particular price in mind, but we've made choices to make sure that we're making a product that is choiceful, that people can purchase. They can upgrade with different features later. But we wanted to make sure we had a base product with really great performance. Then that price target shifted due to the ongoing RAM crisis around the world."

    Analysis: a believable enough prediction

    Sadly, the AMD rumor is another worrying doom nugget from what seems to be a never-ending supply of bad news in the past couple of months. Just this week, we've had a report that shows DDR5 RAM is somehow getting even more expensive, blowing past the levels I'd expected — not to mention the laptop price hikes.

    The RAM crisis was forecast to worsen as 2026 rolled on, and that appears to be unfolding just as predicted — and there's very possibly worse to come in 2027, going by rumors elsewhere. If the pundits, analysts and insiders were right about this year, there's a fair chance they'll be right about next year, too.

    Okay, so that's not a foregone conclusion, and some kind of more positive developments could yet happen — we can hope. This particular rumor must also be treated with some caution, as a Board Channels post may not have everything right (by any means), but the problem is that given the current climate, it's believable enough that AMD has price hikes in the works. Team Red already warned us earlier this year about pricing pain for the second half of 2026, after all.

    The sources believe that AMD will enforce this new policy in Q4, so it could happen next month, in theory (although all of this remains a rumor).

    In other RAM crisis bleakness, the Steam Frame arrived earlier this week with a much-inflated price tag compared to what Valve first envisioned for the VR headset. It starts at $1,059 / £889 / AU$1,609, which is a few hundred more dollars than what Valve was thinking originally.

    As PC Gamer reports, a hardware engineer at Valve, Joy Lyons, said, "We set out to design [the Steam Frame] with one particular price in mind, but we've made choices to make sure that we're making a product that is choiceful, that people can purchase. They can upgrade with different features later. But we wanted to make sure we had a base product with really great performance. Then that price target shifted due to the ongoing RAM crisis around the world."

    Analysis: a believable enough prediction

    Sadly, the AMD rumor is another worrying doom nugget from what seems to be a never-ending supply of bad news in the past couple of months. Just this week, we've had a report that shows DDR5 RAM is somehow getting even more expensive, blowing past the levels I'd expected — not to mention the laptop price hikes.

    The RAM crisis was forecast to worsen as 2026 rolled on, and that appears to be unfolding just as predicted — and there's very possibly worse to come in 2027, going by rumors elsewhere. If the pundits, analysts and insiders were right about this year, there's a fair chance they'll be right about next year, too.

    Okay, so that's not a foregone conclusion, and some kind of more positive developments could yet happen — we can hope. This particular rumor must also be treated with some caution, as a Board Channels post may not have everything right (by any means), but the problem is that given the current climate, it's believable enough that AMD has price hikes in the works. Team Red already warned us earlier this year about pricing pain for the second half of 2026, after all.

  • ESET reports Salt Typhoon shifted focus to Latin America, hitting Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, and others
  • Group deployed new SparroWocky backdoor with 30+ commands for profiling, exfiltration, and surveillance
  • Researchers link pivot to Trump’s renewed US push in the region, threatening China’s long‑term investments

    • Salt Typhoon has been reassigned to Latin America, and it’s apparently all due to Donald Trump’s renewed “interest” in the continent.

    Cybersecurity researchers ESET have been tracking Salt Typhoon, a Chinese state-sponsored threat actor for years. This is the same group that was seen hacking telecommunication giants and government agencies across the western world since at least 2019.

    According to the researchers, from mid-2025 and well into 2026, the group has been targeting a number of Latin American countries: Argentina, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela. They were seen deploying brand new malware, a backdoor called SparroWocky, that features around 30 commands such as system profiling, file exfiltration, screenshot grabbing, and more. ESET says that around 90% of all Salt Typhoon’s recent activity was devoted to this specific region.

    A rare occurrence

    The discovery of China-built malware in these countries comes as somewhat of a surprise. Latin America cannot be considered an open ally to the Chinese, but they are quite influential in the region, both economically, and diplomatically. ESET sees the development as a “rare occurrence”, and stresses that this is most likely a response to Trump’s initiatives in the region.

    “Donald Trump’s second presidential term has brought about an aggressive reaffirmation of US interests in Latin America, which threatens various long-term investments that China has cultivated throughout the continent in the last decade, in domains such as energy, mining, and telecommunications,” ESET says. “We suspect that FamousSparrow’s (their name for Salt Typhoon) activities are intended to help China better monitor and anticipate the reaction of local governments to current US pressures.”

    ESET says the backdoor is being delivered via a trident loader scheme that consists of a legitimate executable, a malicious DLL, and a file containing the encrypted malware. By side-loading the DLL, the crooks can deploy the malware without being spotted.

  • Nats report reveals a software defect caused days of flight disruption
  • The defect occurred in the 'space of a millisecond'
  • Severity of the incident was not identified until 2.5 hours later

    • The UK airspace came to a grinding halt earlier this month after the UK’s National Air Traffic Services (Nats) announced that there was a glitch in its flight processing system.

    Following an investigation, NATS has determined that the fault was caused by a manual request for a squawk code that became corrupted, forcing the National Airspace System (NAS) that covers the UK to be restarted, grounding and diverting thousands of aircraft.

    The disruption began in the morning of 8 September, and while the initial glitch was fixed within six hours, the subsequent disruption across the UK lasted over two days leaving hundreds of thousands of passengers stranded.

    Squawk code corrupted in the ‘space of a millisecond’

    Squawk codes are used to track and identify aircraft during flight plans, allowing air traffic controllers to monitor altitude, speed, direction, and flight progress.

    The glitch occurred when a flight manually requested a squawk code, with the report noting that there was “nothing abnormal or invalid” about the request. During the processing of this request, a second “higher priority activity” came through to NAS, temporarily pausing the processing of the manually requested squawk.

    When the process resumed the generated squawk was corrupted, causing some subsequent flight data to suffer the same fate. All of this occurred within the “space of a millisecond”, the report states.

    With flight data now inaccurate for some flights, safety had to be prioritized due to the limited information available at the time. Only flights within the London Area Control Centre were affected by the software defect, but in order to safely restart the NAS, flight restrictions were put in place for around six hours across the UK.

    But the report also notes that the severity of the issue was only discovered two and a half hours

    Due to the number of cancelled and delayed flights, disruption continued for two days as stranded passengers waited to catch rescheduled flights.

    All in all, 2,163 flights were affected by the restrictions and 300,000 passengers were impacted across airports of all sizes, including major international transport hubs such as Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Manchester.

    Scrutiny and criticism directed at Nats

    The UK government, which owns just under half of Nats, has placed additional pressure on the service, with Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander labelling the disruption as “completely unacceptable”.

    “I have now received Nats' report and, while I am pleased to see that the safety of passengers was protected, it’s clear we need to urgently understand why this issue was not discovered and fixed before it caused chaos,” the transport secretary said. “I have therefore tasked the CAA with conducting an independent review to check Nats’ findings and investigate their investment plans to enhance resilience in the future, along with regulatory accountability.

    “It is crucial that our national infrastructure is fit for the future, and this government will make sure the aviation sector is as resilient as possible, so passengers can get to where they need to be.”

    “I would like to apologise again, very sincerely, to everyone who was affected last week,” Martin Rolfe, Chief Executive of NATS, said in a statement. “It's our job to get people where they want to go, quickly and without delay and we are devastated when that goes wrong. However, our primary role is to keep our skies safe, and everyone who flies through them. At no point last week was safety in question.”

    Affected passengers have also raised questions about the level of support they received. Due to the extraordinary circumstances involved in the disruption, almost all of those affected will not receive compensation. According to the Civil Aviation Authority, passengers had the option of choosing between a rescheduled flight or a refund, and were entitled to care and assistance from airlines including food, drink, accommodation, and transfers.

  • FBI and US Coast Guard boarded tanker VL Prosperity after foreign cyber compromise indications
  • Iranian media claimed attackers sabotaged engine systems and communications; Kohaku vessel also affected
  • No group claimed responsibility; US agencies investigating “malicious cyber activity” on targeted ships

    • Last month, two tankers heading for the United States were hit by a cyberattack, forcing the FBI and Coast Guard to board at least one of the vessels and investigate.

    The first vessel is called VL Prosperity, which was allegedly transporting 2.3 million barrels of oil. It is a Liberian crude oil tanker, travelling from Egypt’s Sidi Kerir Oil Terminal towards Galveston, Texas, where it was supposed to dock on August 24. On its route, lasting roughly 25 days, it passed through the Strait of Gibraltar.

    Some three days before arriving, it requested assistance from law enforcement, prompting a “highly specialized team” of FBI and Coast Guard cyber experts to board. The ship is currently sitting in the Gulf of Mexico.

    Iranians (indirectly) claiming responsibility

    “On August 21, a highly specialized team – comprised of USCG Law Enforcement personnel, USCG Cyber Protection Team members, a vessel inspector, and FBI Cyber Action Team operators – embarked the vessel to conduct a comprehensive cyber security boarding and investigation,” a US Coast Guard spokesperson told Cybernews.

    The spokesperson also said the team’s activity is “designed to ensure the integrity of the vessel’s operational and information technology systems." The Coast Guard apparently saw “indications that the vessel’s network were compromised by foreign cyber actors.” It later described the incident as “malicious cyber activity.”

    The second vessel in question is called Kohaku, flying under the flag of the Marshall Islands. It was travelling towards Texas to load liquefied petroleum gas, as per Wall Street Journal, and has been sitting near Malta for the past couple of days. At press time (Friday morning), it was travelling through the East Mediterranean Sea.

    So far, no threat actors have publicly claimed responsibility for these attacks. However, the Iranian Mehr News Agency allegedly hinted the attack was a “message from Iran’s “Resistance Front” to Washington and the broader Middle East.”

    The same publication - also the first one to report on the incident and name VL Prosperity as one of the victims - said the attackers infiltrated engine-room systems, reduced the engine’s cooling flow, increased the engine speed, and disabled the ship’s fuel and engine-oil tank, all citing an unnamed crew member. Apparently, the ship’s communications were knocked offline for a day and a half, as well.

    ]]>     <![CDATA[ Hi-fi and home theater legend Wharfedale announces four(!) new subwoofers, and if that seems like overkill, wait until you see how big the largest one is ]]>
  • Wharfedale launches four new subwoofers: 8, 10, 12 and 15 inches
  • New long-throw drivers and up to 360W output
  • From £799 (about $1,068 / AU$1,499)

    • Legendary speaker maker Wharfedale has created four new boom boxes in the form of the new Nova subwoofers. Ranging in size from an apartment-friendly 8-inches to an enormous 15 inches, all four models feature newly developed drivers, passive radiators and refined cabinet architecture.

    These aren't thuggish bass monsters; they're designed for the more discerning listener who wants to hear as well as feel the low end. Wharfedale says that "rather than chasing chest-thumping, window-rattling exaggeration, the Nova Series is built around balance, texture and precision."

    There are four subwoofers in the range: the Nova 8, the Nova 10, the Nova 12 and the Nova 15. The Nova 8 is designed for smaller setups and stereo installations, with the Nova 10 upping the power for medium-sized rooms. The Nova 12 is for more immersive home theater setups, and the flagship Nova 15 is made for larger spaces and the most demanding setups.

    Wharfedale Nova 8, 10, 12 and 15: key features and pricing

    All four models feature Wharfedale's newly engineered long-throw driver, which is made from rigid but lightweight speaker cones that have been treated with a proprietary coating to make them stiffer and better at self-damping without also increasing their mass.

    Those cones are teamed with a heavy duty die-cast chassis, an oversized high-roll surround, and a high-excursion motor system to deliver high output while maintaining stability. A large diameter voice coil and aluminum shorting ring minimize distortion and improve transient response, according to Wharfedale.

    The second key feature here is the Auxiliary Bass Radiator, which is downward firing with a dual suspension design. It's made to work alongside the new driver by extending low-frequency output without the need for a conventional reflex port.

    Wharfedale says that enables it to avoid issues such as unwanted resonance, turbulence, chuffing and compression, and each Nova is optimized according to its cabinet volume, driver size, amplifier configuration and intended operating range. The goal, Wharfedale says, is the speed of a sealed enclosure with the scale of a larger reflex design.

    Depending on which model you choose, you get between 200W and 360W of built-in Class D amplification with up to 80V peak output and "substantial" dynamic headroom.

    The amplifier, driver, cabinet loading and DSP have been designed as an integrated system rather than separately in order to maximize power and precision. And there is an adjustable crossover, phase alignment and level calibration to fine-tune the sound to suit your space.

    One of the interesting features here is the way the DSP adjusts the dynamic EQ. When you're listening at lower volumes it focuses on perceived weight and range, but at higher levels it manages the driver's excursion to keep the audio clean without overdriving, enabling the Nova to punch above its size.

    All four models will be available in late September 2026 and the prices are:

    • Nova 8: £799 (about $1,068 / AU$1,499)
    • Nova 10: £899 (about $1,202 / AU$1,686)
    • Nova 12: £1,099 (about $1,469 / AU$2,061)
