Steam users can rest easy about recent security rumors. Valve said no breach happened on Steam systems despite claims that it affected 89 million users. The company examined sample data from the reported leak and found it contained only old text messages with expired one-time codes and phone numbers. These messages traveled through multiple carriers unencrypted before reaching phones.
The leaked information did not connect phone numbers to Steam accounts, and no passwords, payment details, or personal data appeared in the leak. Because of this event, users need not change passwords or phone numbers. Valve reminds everyone to be suspicious of account security messages they never requested. The company suggests checking account security...
Apple plans to make new batteries with silicon instead of graphite. These pure silicon batteries will store more power for phones. The company wants iPhone users to enjoy longer screen time. Better batteries will also help phones run AI tasks. Apple is working with several manufacturers to create this technology.
The new batteries pack more energy without growing larger, giving Apple the freedom to design thinner iPhones if desired. Silicon batteries address the need for improved performance with on-device AI features. An industry insider claims the company solved problems with expanding silicon materials. Apple typically introduces new technologies later than competitors, suggesting these batteries might appear in phones after a few...
Square Enix confirmed that Kingdom Hearts IV development continues, but canceled the mobile spin-off, Missing Link. The company announced these updates during a financial report yesterday. Missing Link failed because the team could not create a good live service game. The official Kingdom Hearts social media account shared new screenshots today and posted a message thanking fans for their patience.
The team works hard on Kingdom Hearts IV and wants to meet fan expectations. They are grateful for the excitement surrounding the game. The new title runs on Unreal Engine 5, with Quadratum serving as the main hub area. Quadratum looks like Tokyo, with versions of Shibuya and Minami-Aoyama. Players will travel from this city to complete...
Many people watched Apple Vision Pro during the WWDC 2024 keynote. The new mixed reality headset caught attention but came with a hefty price tag. Recent events showed that consumers might not know how much it actually costs. Four contestants on The Price Is Right tried to guess the cost of the 256GB model. None came close to the correct amount.
The show asks players to guess product prices without going over. The nearest guess for the Apple Vision Pro was $1,270, which fell far short of its actual $3,499 retail price in the United States. Apple CEO Tim Cook previously stated that the AR headset targets early tech adopters rather than general consumers. The other three contestants guessed even lower, at $750, $1,000, and $1,001.

Apple plans to create a special iPhone for its 20th birthday in 2027. The company wants this phone to use new memory technology that helps with artificial intelligence. This memory stacks chips on top of each other instead of putting them side by side. The design moves data faster and uses less power than current methods. These improvements might let the phone run advanced AI without needing an internet connection.
Samsung and SK Hynix are already working on making these memory chips for Apple. Both companies expect to start making large numbers of these chips next year. The memory takes up less space inside the phone, which helps as devices become thinner. This technology normally runs in big computer servers that handle AI tasks. The...
Samsung released a thin new phone called the Galaxy S25 Edge last month. People noticed the slim design, but many complained about the smaller battery and missing camera parts. Samsung plans to make another Edge next year anyway. The company might remove the Plus version from its lineup because both phones seem almost the same size. Samsung wants to keep just the regular, Edge, and Ultra models going forward.
The current Edge measures only 5.84 inches thick and has a battery much smaller than other Galaxy phones. Samsung has already started working on the next Edge version despite mixed reviews from customers. The tech company hopes to fix problems like the weak 3900 mAh battery that runs out faster than other models. Samsung believes...
President Trump invited the top 220 holders of TRUMP meme coins to dinner at his golf course. He planned a special reception for the 25 biggest holders. These guests would also tour the White House later. The contest attracted more than $140 million in purchases from people hoping to attend. Many buyers came from overseas markets.
Justin Sun from TRON currently holds the most TRUMP coins. A small Chinese company with just eight employees wants to buy 300 million coins. Morten Christensen and four friends found a clever way to attend for only $1200 each. They held public positions in TRUMP coins but secretly bet against them elsewhere. Most people paid much more to join the dinner group.
The TRUMP coin exists mainly to create a...
Supermicro began hiring workers in Saudi Arabia weeks before announcing its partnership with DataVolt. The company posted job openings for various positions, ranging from engineers to sales managers. This early recruitment shows how much Supermicro believes in its new Saudi business relationship. The $20 billion agreement will last several years. Analysts estimate the deal might bring Supermicro $5 billion in yearly revenue.
The firm will provide advanced computer equipment specially built for artificial intelligence tasks. These systems use liquid cooling instead of traditional air fans to keep machines from overheating. Supermicro just revealed new cooling technology that saves 40 percent on water usage. This matters greatly in Saudi...
AMD plans to show off its new Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card on May 21 at Computex in Taipei. The company shared a picture of what this card looks like with two cooling fans. AMD made clear that people cannot buy this exact model since the image represents an artistic design. The actual cards people will purchase come from partner companies who add their changes to AMD technology. Computer builders will need to pick from these partner versions instead.
The card uses a single 8-pin power connector, which suggests it needs about 200 watts or less of electricity. Some custom versions might add extra power connections for users who want faster performance. AMD may release two memory options—one with 8 gigabytes and another with 16...
