It was another weekly week in the world of technology.
AOL finished dial-up, we piloted the first 360 drone in the world and celebrated the return of a missing Apple Watch functionality, even if it is now a little different.
To make up for all this and more, scroll down for the seven biggest news of the week, which we have summarized for your convenience.
7. AOL finished the dial
In our modern era, constant connectivity is given, but there was a time when you have established the connection via dial-up. This process was accompanied by the unforgettable and emblematic sound of a digital handshake between your computer and a service like. Now, the latest vestiges of the AOL dialogue service disappear. We look at what it means.
6. Apple has spoiled an AirPods upgrade
The latest beta developer of iOS 26 has apparently teased a major unexpected upgrade for AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 2: real -time translation in real time.
Apple announced that Live translates last month to WWDC, but not for the cat in the real world, so this real -time translation on Airpod is something that we did not know (apart from leaks).
Much is still unknown, as precisely how the functionality works and what languages are supported, but it is a serious upgrade of our existing Apple Tech – and we are all for that.
5. HTC launched Vive glasses
HTC has been feeling for some time that he was second to Me Méti in the VR category of helmets, but his new Vive Eagle glasses could be winners.
Regarding the equipment, Vive will beat for Beat with the competition. It has a living room of 12 MP as well as open speakers, and a solid battery life for up to 36 hours of emergency time and 4.5 hours of musical reading while offering an elegant design of 49g.
But on the AI side, we think it could move forward with its ability to access both Gemini and Chatgpt.
The capture? It is only available until Taiwan for the moment, but we pray for a world exit.
4. Samsung started a first world in his last television
Samsung officially revealed that its TV micro-RGB is coming to the market, first launching in South Korea 115 inch. Samsung says technology will eventually come to smaller sets.
Micro-RGB essentially takes red, green and blue LEDs of micro size and puts them behind the panel to create a refined brightness and a precision of colors. It has reached 100% HDR colored range cover of the Colorimetric Space BT.2020: A TV first!
The bad news is that the micro-RGB is expensive. The 115 -inch model is launched in South Korea at 44.9 million KRW, which works at around $ 32,000 / 24,000 € / 28,000 € / 4950 $ in (Yikes!), It is certainly most of the budgets of most people. Samsung thinks that technology will quickly become more affordable and will become a real rival of the OLED. Look at this space!
After a ban of 18 months, monitoring blood oxygen finally goes to the Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10 and Ultra 2 – it’s a little different this time, however.
It was disabled on a decision in January 2024 due to a patent dispute between Massimo and Apple, but Apple found a way to obey the decision and give users access to functionality.
In other words, reading is no longer on your watch; It will appear only on your iPhone – with Apple explaining that the update has also been activated by a recent American customs decision.
2. We made the first 360 degree drone in the world
After its beginnings a short time ago, we finally had the chance to demonstrate the new Insta360 antigravity drone – and it is the most exciting drone that we have seen for years.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the piloting of the A1 is the game of the child. Overcoming the disorientation caused by wearing glasses when the drone takes the sky, and you can quickly grasp the movement controller, and how to use it to control the altitude and the drone flight trajectory.
Unfortunately, while official prices have not yet been confirmed, the experience will probably not be cheap. You have the drone itself (which contains 360 camera technology) and a helmet. But currently, nothing does what this drone can, and that could be everything that established 360 must succeed at the moment.
1. Openai responded to enemies
Openai CEO Sam Altman addressed criticism of restrictive messages for chatgpt users more on GPT-5. When the new model was launched, the more subscribers could only send 200 reasoning messages per week, which many considered to be a degradation of the previous model, GPT-4O. Altman confirmed that the limit would increase 3,000 guests per week to paying subscribers.
Altman has also confirmed that Optai is working on clearer user interface labels to show exactly which model responds in Chatgpt, which many users have been asking since the update.
The announcement comes after a wave of reactions on GPT-5, with complaints concerning the smaller than expected upgrade and the deletion of GPT-4O, which has since been restored. Altman’s rapid response shows that Optai is trying to satisfy its paid users while it sails in the delicate balance between new features and user expectations.
