UGREEN launches AMD-powered DXP2800 GT and DXP4800 GT NAS

UGREEN has introduced two fresh additions to its NAS lineup. The new devices are called the DXP2800 GT and the DXP4800 GT . The company says the “GT” badge stands for a mix of speed and steady performance, similar to what you might expect from a high-end sports car. Both machines are small and designed to sit on a desk. They look nearly identical. Each one has a gray metal body with gold trim, a magnetic dust filter on the back, and a hydraulic fan that runs quietly between 29 and 34 decibels. That means you can leave them on all day and night without much noise. Under the hood, both models use the same AMD Ryzen Embedded R2514 chip. That processor has 4 cores and 8 threads and can reach up to 3.7GHz when pushed. UGREEN claims this gives a 26 percent speed boost over some of its older NAS models. Each device starts with 8GB of DDR4 memory, and you can upgrade that to 64GB if you need more. They also come with 64GB of built-in storage just for the operati...

Edifier FitBuds Turbo: Hi-Res audio, 49dB ANC, and 40-hour battery life

Edifier has just released a new set of wireless earbuds called the FitBuds Turbo . The earbuds have a short stem design and are very light. Each one weighs only 4.4 grams. They can survive light rain and dust thanks to an IP54 rating, so they work fine for walking around town or working out. The ear tips are made with antibacterial material, and Edifier says they stop 99.9 percent of bacteria. The Edifier FitBuds Turbo charging case looks a bit different too. Instead of being shiny and smooth, it has a fake leather texture with metal-like highlights. That makes it less slippery. Buyers can pick from three colors: Dawn White, Mystery Blue, and Sakura Pink. For sound, the Edifier FitBuds Turbo use 10mm drivers with a special mixed material for the diaphragm. They support LDAC and carry a Hi-Res Audio Wireless stamp, which means music should sound clearer than on many other budget earbuds. The noise cancellation can cut down background noise by up to 49dB. When you ma...

DJI sues Insta360 for allegedly infringing on Osmo Pocket patents

DJI has filed lawsuits against Insta360 , alleging that Insta360 copied key parts of its popular Osmo Pocket camera. The Osmo Pocket maker is targeting Insta360’s new Luna line of cameras, which includes the Luna Pro and the Luna Ultra. In the first case, DJI says Insta360 copied the look and shape of its product. DJI holds two design patents. One covers the long body of the camera, the neck that connects to the gimbal, and the camera setup. The second design patent protects the screen on top, the buttons, the side slot for accessories, and the charging port at the bottom. DJI Osmo Pocket 4 DJI argues that Insta360 showed off its Luna cameras at the 2026 NAB Show and even marketed them as direct alternatives to the Osmo Pocket line. According to DJI, that is proof the company knew exactly what it was doing. The second lawsuit goes deeper into how the cameras work. DJI says Insta360 broke four of its utility patents. These cover specific technologies, including: ...

Razer Seiren V3 Pro is a new dynamic microphone with USB-C and XLR support

Razer just dropped a new microphone called the Seiren V3 Pro . It’s the first microphone from the company that supports both USB and XLR connections. XLR is the connector type you see on professional mics used in radio stations and music studios. But those mics need extra gear, like a mixer or an audio interface, to talk to your computer. USB mics are much easier. You just plug them in, and they work. With the Razer Seiren V3 Pro , Razer wants to serve both crowds. A beginner can start with the USB cable and get good sound right away. Later, if they want to get serious, they can buy the professional gear and switch over to the XLR port. The mic also has two USB-C ports, so you have options. The company also packed some smart features inside the mic to help new users. One of the biggest problems for first-time streamers is that a good mic does not always sound good out of the box. You often need to adjust equalization and deal with background noise. Razer says its ...
