I post on: – phones and foldables – laptops and gadgets – Apple / Samsung / Google – AI only when it ships in a product you can buy If the price doesn’t match the hardware, I’ll say it.

Google kills Chromebooks (at least the premium ones). The HP Googlebook 14 and its siblings are Android laptops now, priced like MacBook Airs, aimed at Android users who don't need Windows. Gutsy move.

HP Googlebook 14: Snapdragon X Elite, 2.8K OLED, 19-hour battery, 1.24kg weight. All the specs of a high-end ultrabook. The catch: it runs Googlebook OS, not Windows or macOS. techtreck.tech/posts/hp-goog…

The HP Googlebook 14 starts at $1,299. That's premium laptop pricing for a machine running Android instead of Windows. Google's betting that deep phone integration and Gemini are enough to justify the jump from $200-400 Chromebooks. techtreck.tech/posts/hp-goog…

Apple killed the $199 Apple TV 4K tier. You now get one config at $299. That's not an upgrade—that's removing choice. #tech

HomeView smart display: $299. Apple TV 4K streaming box: $299. Ask yourself why Apple made these cost the exact same.

Base Kindle now 30% faster to open books. Price: $149.99 ($189.99 for aluminum). Here's the catch: Amazon raised prices in August already.

Surface Pro 12 (2nd Edition) gets Snapdragon X2 Plus, 500-nit display, and optional 5G. It also loses its budget option 16GB minimum now.

Is a fanless design worth $100-$300 more? The new Surface Pro 12 is quieter and thinner, but the price jump is hard to ignore.

Whats happening , i guess all I can talk about is Apple , am really tired of talking about this non-innovative company , can elon make the algorithm more tech innovative not a company that makes new colours of a phone every year and give it a new number with a price tag that doesn’t match the product they are even offering, you need changes now , i want more of xiaomi duplicating Apple products into android versions , some cool things like nothing foldable, nothing laptop and a new Cmf ecosystem, and many many more

Ransomware attacks in Japan just hit a record high for the first half of 2026. Cybercrime isn't slowing down anywhere — it's just getting better funded. 🔒💻 #Cybersecurity #Ransomware #InfoSec

An Anthropic safety researcher just put the odds AI could cause a human-extinction-level event within 10 years at over 10%. That's not internet doomerism — that's coming from inside a top AI lab. ⚠️ #AISafety #Anthropic #AI

AI isn't just writing news anymore — it's building entire fake newsrooms and inventing fictional journalists to manufacture social reach. The information ecosystem has a new kind of ghost in it. 👻📰 #AI #Misinformation #TechNews

Nvidia now owns the biggest open-model hub and still says AMD can use it. That’s not charity. That’s locking the default place models get hosted.
