TP-Link Archer 8 Wi-Fi 8 router with improved signal, faster speed announced

Tired of your video calls freezing even though your internet plan is supposed to be fast? TP-Link thinks the problem isn’t your provider, but your router. The company has just announced the Archer 8, its very first router based on the new Wi-Fi 8 standard, and it is not obsessed with peak speeds. Instead of chasing bigger numbers on a box, TP-Link is focusing on making home Wi-Fi actually work when you need it most. The Archer 8 is built around the upcoming IEEE 802.11bn specification, with a launch date set for October 2026. The main goal is to fix the usual headaches: inconsistent signals in different rooms, lag spikes while gaming, and connections that drop when too many devices are online at once. To back up its claims, TP-Link ran its own tests inside the company’s labs. Engineers compared early Wi-Fi 8 hardware against current Wi-Fi 7 gear under messy, real-world conditions.

YouTube to automatically add AI labels to suspected AI-generated content

YouTube is changing how it handles videos made with artificial intelligence. The platform will begin adding its own labels to videos that look like they were created or heavily altered by AI . Right now, creators are supposed to tell YouTube when they use realistic AI in their videos. But not everyone does. So YouTube is building a system that can spot these videos automatically. If the system finds realistic AI content without a disclosure, it will add a label anyway. Creators who disagree with the label can go into YouTube Studio and change the settings for that video. That is their chance to correct a mistake. How to turn off YouTube’s Picture-in-Picture feature on mobile Some labels cannot be removed, though. Videos made with YouTube’s own AI tools, like Veo and Dream Screen, will always have a label. The same goes for any video that carries a special digital tag called C2PA metadata, which confirms the whole thing was made by AI. The placement of these l...

Acer Predator Atlas 8 gaming handheld is powered by Intel’s Arc G3 chips

Acer might not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of gaming handhelds. Rivals like ASUS and Lenovo usually steal the spotlight. But that could change later this year with the Predator Atlas 8. The reason? It will be one of the first portable gaming PCs to run on Intel’s brand new Arc G3 chips. Acer hasn’t changed the overall look or design much compared to its earlier models. Instead, the focus is on what’s inside. The Atlas 8 comes with an 8-inch IPS screen that runs at 1,920 by 1,200 resolution. The display hits 500 nits of brightness and has a 120Hz variable refresh rate for smoother motion. Under the hood, Acer is using either Intel Arc G3 or G3 Extreme processors. These chips support Arc B390 graphics and use Intel’s XESS 3 AI upscaling tech. That helps cut down on stutter and input lag while boosting your frames per second. To help with battery life, Intel added a new Endurance Gaming mode. It balances performance and power use so you can play...

A new report out from a cybersecurity firm suggests that the vast majority of businesses are dealing with stolen passwords and hacked accounts on a regular basis. Sophos , a well known name in online security, asked 5,000 IT bosses across 17 countries about their experiences. The findings, released in early 2026, show that 71 out of every 100 companies faced at least one incident where someone’s identity was compromised in the last twelve months. On average, each business went through three such events. Some firms got hit hard. Around 5% said they had 6 or more breaches. The study found a strong link between stolen logins and ransomware, the type of attack where hackers lock up files and demand payment. Among those who fell victim to ransomware, 67% said the whole thing started with an identity theft. Fixing the damage does not come cheap. The average bill for recovery stood at 1.64 million. Half of the affected companies paid 750,000 or more. And nearly three qua...
