Apple today released updated firmware for the AirPods Pro 2 and the AirPods 4, introducing support for the new AirPods features that are included in iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe.
Apple today released macOS Tahoe 26, the newest version of the macOS operating system designed to run on the Mac. macOS Tahoe is a free update that can be downloaded today on compatible Macs. macOS Tahoe can run on all Apple silicon Macs, as well as the 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro, the 2020 13-inch ?MacBook Pro?, the 2020 and later iMac, and the 2019 and later Mac Pro.
The event is slated for September 30, and the timing puts Amazon back on track for its usual fall preview of its latest wares. Amazon skipped its typical fall event last year in favor of a smaller Kindle-only unveiling.
The Amazon invitation shows what appears to be Alexa's telltale blue light ring, along with the famous Kindle logo, so it seems like new Echo devices and Kindle tablets are safe bets.
The upcoming event will mark the first full-on Amazon Devices fall showcase since the arrival of Alexa , the AI-supercharged version of Alexa. Alexa made its splashy debut back in February following a lengthy delay, and it's been rolling out ever so slowly over the past several months.
Amazon's big fall hardware event will also be the first to feature Panos Panay, the former Microsoft executive who took over Amazon's Alexa and Echo divisions. Panay, who succeed outgoing Amazon exec David Limp back in September 2023, hosted a scaled-down Kindle event last fall, as well as the Alexa reveal earlier this year.
Several of Amazon's most popular Echo devices are due for a refresh, including the ever-popular Echo Dot. The fifth-generation Echo Dot made its debut back in 2022, most notably with the new ability to act as an extender for Amazon's Eero mesh Wi-Fi routers.
The four-year-old Amazon Echo Show 10 with its swiveling display is also ripe for a re-do, as
Apple today released watchOS 26, the newest version of the watchOS operating system that runs on the Apple Watch. ?watchOS 26? is compatible with the Apple Watch Series 6, all Apple Watch Ultra models, and the Apple Watch SE 2 and later. You'll also need an iPhone 11 or later with iOS 26.
The company recently published a "30-day reminder" that Windows 10 version 22H2 (including Enterprise and Education Editions) will reach the end of its support period on October 14th, 2025:
On October 14, 2025, Windows 10, version 22H2 (Home, Pro, Enterprise, Education, and IoT Enterprise editions) will reach end of servicing. October 14, 2025 will also mark the end of support for Windows 10 2015 LTSB and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 2015. The October 2025 monthly security update will be the last update available for these versions. After this date, devices running these versions will no longer receive monthly security and preview updates containing protections from the latest security threats.
However, Microsoft also wants Windows home users to know that there's the opportunity to receive extended support for another 12 months with Microsoft's Extended Security Update (ESU) program.
All in all, if you're still actively using Windows 10, the deadline is almost here. What should you do? Here are all your options:
According to Windows Latest, the translation happens more or less live. However, given that it's powered by the latest AI technology, you'll need to have a reasonably powerful computer for this feature—at least 12GB of RAM and at least a quad-core CPU. (Note that if you assign that much memory to Edge, other apps will slow to a crawl while translating.)
The biggest problem with this real-time audio translation feature right now is that the AI-generated audio can suddenly switch between male and female voices when the tone of voice changes.
Furthermore, translation language support is extremely limited, with only English, Spanish, and Korean currently supported. However, the plan is to add more languages in the future.

There's nothing worse than realizing your laptop is gone and being full of regret, wishing you'd taken those proactive steps when you had the chance. You have that chance right now—don't put it off until "later" that never comes. Act now to protect your sensitive data and make sure your laptop is more easily recoverable should you lose it.
Both Windows 11 and Windows 10 have useful safeguarding features worth using, and Windows can theoretically track your lost laptop (but you'll need extra hardware for the best tracking experience). Here are the preemptive steps you should take to protect your laptop ASAP.
Check if your storage is encrypted
First things first, you have to make sure your laptop's internal storage is securely encrypted. There's a good chance it already is—disk encryption is enabled by default on many newer Windows laptops—but it might not be. If it isn't, you'll want to turn it on.
To check if your PC is encrypted, open the Start menu, search for "Device Encryption" or "BitLocker," then click Device encryption settings or Manage BitLocker, respectively. You'll see a different
