Image: Clicks Technology No, you’re not seeing things… the new Clicks Communicator device does indeed resemble the iconic BlackBerry of the early 2000s, with tactile plastic buttons and a basic, low-res touchscreen. Clicks Technology’s new device, showcased at CES this week, is designed to be used in tandem with your smartphone. Instead of competing with next-generation devices and flagship smartphones like the iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, or Google Pixel, Communicator is meant to work alongside them. It aims to be the go-to for messaging, triage, and responsiveness, while letting primary devices handle content capture and entertainment. Complementary, but also stands on…
Image: Qualcomm Windows 11 version 26H1 is set to arrive this spring… but it won’t be for everyone. The update will debut exclusively on new PCs powered by Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon X2 platform. The first laptops shipping with 26H1 pre-installed will start appearing in the spring period, aligning with the launch window for Snapdragon X2 devices. Windows Central reports that ASUS has already confirmed that its ZenBook A14 and A16 models, both built on Snapdragon X2 chips, will ship with Windows 11 26H1 out of the box. Meanwhile, similarly timed ZenBook models running Intel or AMD processors will stick with…
Twelve months after Labour’s 50-point plan of action to stimulate the UK’s artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled economy, a new report shows billions of pounds are being invested in UK AI startups. The AI Index report from the Startup Coalition, sponsored by Coreweave, analysed funding of the UK’s top 1,000 firms according to the amount of private capital they have raised, in collaboration with data provider Beauhurst. The report shows that the top AI firms have raised more than £20bn in private capital and now command a combined valuation exceeding £45bn. The study, which the Startup Coalition has used to build…
PC and gaming monitors are among the CES 2026 announcements, and Dell may just have one of the most impressive. The company launched an ultrawide, curved 52-inch 6K monitor at the show this year, a productivity behemoth designed for stock traders, engineers and other professionals. Dell claims the UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor is the first 52-incher to market that’s also ultrawide, curved and supports 6K resolution (but with that many qualifiers almost anything can be a world first).Given Dell’s experience in the monitor realm, this could be a dream display for professionals who handle vast data sets such as…
After seven months on the market, the Nintendo Switch 2 is finally getting newly colored Joy Cons. Today, via the Nintendo Today app (and later on other social media platforms), Nintendo announced that two new Joy Con 2 colors would be hitting shelves on the same day as Mario Tennis Fever, February 12. You can take a look at the new Joy Con 2 colors below: Dubbed “Light Purple” and “Light Green,” the new controllers follow the color pattern established by the original Joy Con 2s. Each controller’s respective color accents the joystick and connection points, but the shell is still mostly…
The Lebanese army says it has taken over security in the south of the country, which for decades had been dominated by the Iranian-backed movement Hezbollah, amid fears that Israel could escalate its military offensive against the group.Lebanon has been under intense international pressure, particularly from the US, to disarm Hezbollah, a powerful militia and political party, since a ceasefire deal in November 2024 ended a devastating year-long war between Israel and Hezbollah.The army had set a year-end deadline to clear the area south of the Litani river, about 30km (20 miles) from the border with Israel, of non-state weapons…
One hundred and eighty years after the first fax machines started grinding out messages, three NHS trusts in England are still using the technology.Health Secretary Wes Streeting had made it his personal mission to banish the fax, pledging to Radio 5 Live in October 2024 that he would phase them out of the health service within a year.Now he has returned with an update – and it is not quite mission accomplished. “I’m happy to report that having gone away and scoured the NHS for evidence of fax machines being put to use, of the 205 NHS trusts we have…
According to reports, Tottenham Hotspur’s decision on whether to sack head coach Thomas Frank will be determined by one ‘pivotal’ factor. Former Brentford boss Frank replaced Ange Postecoglou at Spurs in the summer and was tasked with steadying the ship after their shambolic performances in the Premier League last term. Frank has turned Spurs into more of a defensive unit this term and they initially benefited from this change, but performances and results have massively declined in recent months. The north London outfit have only won one of their previous 13 matches in all competitions as Frank has alienated himself…
‘AI-powered’ security tools are already everywhere, and 2026 will only make that more apparent. The question I hear from CISOs is never “Should we be using artificial intelligence?” so much as “How do I tell the genuine accelerator from the expensive toy?” The hard truth is that AI has become a serious force multiplier for both sides. In my own work, I have been writing about the shift from human-operated intrusion sets to AI orchestrated campaigns where LLMs are effectively the primary operator and the human becomes simply a prompter and supervisor. Ignoring AI is, of course, a choice,…
