The Land Transportation Office (LTO) announced that it will start penalizing motor vehicles that use unauthorized plates starting September 1, 2026. This is after the recent widespread online sale of improvised license plates, where LTO-issued plate replicas are sold. LTO Chairperson Markus Lacanilao said that motor vehicles that use an improvised plate without authorization will be impounded. Meanwhile, those who have authorization but purchase LTO-issued replicas sold online will have the said replica plates confiscated. He said that motorists who lost their license plates must apply for an affidavit of loss so they can get an authorization to use an improvised plate. The temporary plates must have the words “improvised plate” or “lost plate” written on them, instead of copying the legitimate plate issued by the LTO. Lacanilao added that they will go after the sellers of said unauthorized plates and have already coordinated with the Phi...

Acer has its sights on the MacBook Neo with the new Acer Go Air 2026. Like the MacBook Neo , the Acer Go Air 2026 is a compact, chic, and relatively affordable laptop available in four youthful, pastel colors: Blue, Green, Pink, and Purple. It only weighs around 1.19kg, is 12.99mm thick, has a 180-degree hinge, and boasts an all-metal body. There’s a compact 14-inch IPS display with a high 120Hz refresh rate and 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution with DC dimming for eye safety. It’s 1 inch bigger than the MacBook Neo. It is powered by an Intel Core 5 320 processor, which is based on Intel’s new 18A process. It is paired with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. You then get two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports and one USB-A. Keeping the lights on is a 70Wh battery, which Acer claims lasts for up to 19 hours on a single charge. Speaking of charging, the 100W USB-C adapter can provide a 50% charge in just half an hour. Acer also included an 180-...

HONOR has announced a more capable tablet with a Snapdragon 8 series processor, a large and fast display, and a big battery. This is the HONOR Pad 20 Pro. Obviously, the HONOR Pad 20 Pro offers more capable hardware than the vanilla Pad 20 . It upgrades the Snapdragon 7 series chipset to a sub-flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 CPU, backed by 8GB of RAM and 256GB of, sadly, non-expandable storage. You still get a large 10,100mAh battery, but it is now paired with a faster 66W charger. HONOR claims that it can do up to 12 hours of continuous video playback on a single charge. The display is the same size. It’s a 12.1-inch IPS panel with a sharp 3K resolution, an extra smooth 165Hz refresh rate, and works with an HONOR Magic Pencil 4s stylus, with an optional anti-glare coating if you get the Paperlike Edition. DC dimming is also here. It ships with Android 16-based MagicOS 10, equipped with HONOR AI features and a desktop mode with resizable windows so...

The Redmi Note 17 series will finally debut in the global market on August 27. Leading the charge is the Redmi Note 17 Max, and Xiaomi has shared key details about this upcoming device on its microsite.
