Sony Reon Pocket Pro Plus wearable air conditioner launched

Sony has updated its unusual wearable air conditioner, and the new model promises to run even cooler than before. The device is called the Reon Pocket Pro Plus , and it will go on sale in the UK and Europe through Sony’s own website and online stores like Amazon. The Reon is not simply a fan that hangs around your neck. It uses something called the Peltier effect to cool you down. The gadget sits at the base of your neck, and an electrically cooled metal plate delivers lower temperatures right where your circulatory system can benefit most. Think of it like a tiny ice pack with a USB-C port. Sony first started working on the Reon back in 2017. After a crowdfunding campaign in 2019, the device eventually launched in Asia and later in Western markets. Now, almost ten years later, the company has refined the design again. The new Sony Reon Pocket Pro Plus model offers two degrees Celsius, or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit, more cooling power than its predecessor. That is a 20...

PC motherboard sales expected to drop 25% in 2026 — report

Thinking about building a new computer from scratch? You might want to check your wallet first. The market for do-it-yourself PCs is in a bad place right now, and the companies that make the main circuit boards for computers are taking a big hit. A recent industry report shows that sales of PC motherboards are expected to drop by about 25% this year compared to last year. The main reason is that people just are not buying as many parts as they used to. Here is the strange part. The boom in artificial intelligence is actually hurting regular PC builders. Companies are rushing to build huge AI data centers, and those centers need a lot of memory chips and processors. This has created a major shortage of key parts like DDR4 memory, DDR5 memory, and standard CPUs. Because supply is low and demand from data centers is high, prices for these components have gone through the roof. That makes it very expensive for an average person to build a new PC at home. Three of the b...

Amazon Prime Video adds vertical video feed similar to TikTok

Amazon is copying a popular social media trick for its Prime Video app. The company has added a new way to browse shows and movies that feels a lot like TikTok. The feature is called Clips . Instead of watching traditional movie trailers that fill your whole screen in landscape mode, these videos are vertical. That means you can hold your phone normally, like you are scrolling through Instagram or TikTok, and just swipe up to see the next clip. Here is how it works. When you open the Prime Video app on your phone, you will find these short videos on the main page. Tap on any clip, and it will take over your whole screen. Then you can swipe through more videos one after another. Each clip comes with buttons that let you add the movie or show to your watchlist, buy or rent it, or share the video with a friend. You can even hit a like button if you enjoy the clip. Top streaming platforms in PH: Netflix still dominates Amazon first tried this idea with basketball highli...
