 Apple refreshed the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max models in March 2026, but depending on your needs and interests, you might want to skip this generation because there's something better in the works.

Made from high-tech foam and other materials, recovery slides aren't just for athletes or for treating plantar fasciitis. I tested several models. Here are my current favorites.

 Roboticists at Harvard and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras - very smart folks indeed - somehow entirely missed the great name "antdroids" when building the insectoid drones they call RAnts (robotic ants, which do not, in fact, rant about anything - not even against a tyrannical robotic ant queen).

A support page from Mozilla reveals that the company has been working on an "IP concealment" technology for over two weeks. However, Mozilla has since renamed the page "Firefox VPN" to show off the new experimental, beta feature present in the browser. Mozilla says that the technology will be free, but it's only being offered to a small, randomly chosen set of test users.
The free VPN service will apparently complement the paid Mozilla VPN service that Mozilla already offers. Our tests, however, found Mozilla's paid VPN service somewhat wanting.
Integrating a VPN service into the browser has been a feature of niche browsers for years — including Mozilla. In 2019, Mozilla began testing the Firefox Private Network, a VPN-like service that obscured the user's IP address. The trial was part of a beta program, and the technology was never really commercialized. Opera, too, launched a more sophisticated integrated VPN service. In March, Vivaldi teamed up with Proton for an integrated VPN into the browser, as well.

There's really only one problem: my laptop is too old for a Windows 11 update. On October 14th, 2025, Windows 10 will reach the end of its life period, which means no new features or security updates. The former is not a big problem. The latter will be a disaster.
I'm not alone in this situation. Over 50 percent of users are still running Windows 10, and this figure is gradually dropping. How many will have updated in six months' time is anyone's guess, but whatever the percentage, one thing is clear. A large proportion of the world's 1.6 billion Windows PCs will still be running Windows 10 on October 14th, 2025.
What makes this challenging is that Windows 11 is so technically demanding that it's not possible to update all fully functional computers. Sadly, my six-year-old laptop is one of them.
If Microsoft stops updating Windows 10, it wo

 AMD has made significant strides in AI. Last week, it announced that its first 1-billion parameter large language models are performing exceptionally well. In addition, the U.S. is pushing for AMD and Intel to merge, which could allow both firms to better compete in the growing battle for AI dominance. The post AMD Is Making Great Strides in AI, May End Up Merging With Intel appeared first on TechNewsWorld.
