According to reports, Arsenal are ‘ready’ to battle Manchester City and other sides in the race to sign Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi this year. Guehi is considered one of the best centre-backs in Europe as he has had a fantastic couple of years for Crystal Palace and England. The talented defender has been a great asset for Palace, but they are going to lose him at some point in this year as he is in the final few months of his contract. In the summer, Liverpool were at the front of the queue for his signature and they even…
To drive, the Model Y remains a car whose lack of physical controls and conventional instrumentation does seem to gaslight you a little bit about what actually constitutes ease of operation. Well rehearsed as it may sound, given that Tesla is now more of a generalist brand than one for technophiles, the argument certainly bears repeating.You do get a physical indicator stalk here, as well as actual buttons for headlight flash and wash-wipe. Unlike in other Model Ys, you also get manual steering column adjustment (whoopee). And yet adjusting the seat position and door mirrors, and activating the demister/adjusting the climate control,…
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.

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…

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…
