It’s hard to overstate the role that Wi-Fi plays in virtually every facet of life. The organization that shepherds the wireless protocol says that more than 48 billion Wi-Fi-enabled devices have shipped since it debuted in the late 1990s. One estimate pegs the number of individual users at 6 billion, roughly 70 percent of the world’s population.
Despite the dependence and the immeasurable amount of sensitive data flowing through Wi-Fi transmissions, the history of the protocol has been littered with security landmines stemming both from the inherited confidentiality weaknesses of its networking predecessor, Ethernet (it was once possible for anyone on a network to read and modify the traffic sent to anyone else), and the ability for anyone nearby to receive the radio signals Wi-Fi relies on.

For the last six months, enterprises wanting to deploy high quality AI image generation at scale have faced an uncomfortable trade-off: pay premium prices for Google’s Nano Banana Pro model, or settle for cheaper (sometimes free), faster, but noticeably inferior alternatives — especially in terms of enterprise requirements like embedded accurate text, slides, diagrams, and other non aesthetic information.
Today, Google DeepMind is attempting to collapse that gap with the launch of Nano Banana 2 (formally Gemini 3.1 Flash Image) — a model that brings the reasoning, text rendering, and creative control of the Pro tier down to Flash-level speed and pricing.

To celebrate ten years of Stardew Valley, creator Eric Barone (ConcernedApe) has announced two new marriage candidates and while one of them makes perfect sense … Well, we’re a bit confused about the other.As revealed during ConcernedApe’s stream, Stardew Valley’s 1.7 update will allow players to romance both Sandy and Clint. And to be clear, I get Sandy. Sandy is great! Clint, on the other hand, is a choice.As the local blacksmith, Clint is perhaps one of the NPCs you interact with the most in Stardew Valley.
As such, some Stardew fans have been eager to learn more about him and perhaps even save him from his chronically single status, which they now can do. If they want to. For some reason.Continue Reading at GameSpot

The lawsuit accuses Apple of having misled investors about the timeline and readiness of its Apple Intelligence and Siri features, as well as in relation to the Epic Games case. Here are the details.
Apple denies fraud claims
As Reuters reported:
“Apple urged a federal judge to dismiss a proposed class action claiming it defrauded shareholders twice, by overstating the artificial intelligence capabilities of its Siri voice assistant and falsely representing its compliance with an injunction governing commissions on app sales.”

HBO Max will be cracking down on password sharing around the world. The company will expand its enforcement of the practice in 2026.
The streamer first started cracking down on password sharing in the United States late last August. Subscribers are now able to add an additional out-of-household account for $7.99 a month. Before that August change, Warner Bros. Discovery had been testing for months to determine who may or may not be a “legitimate user,” as CEO and President for Warner Bros. Discovery Global Streaming and Games JB Perrette described the plan.

Greater China.
As previously reported, China represented 18% of net sales for Apple in the fourth quarter of 2025. This was up from 15% the year before and the third largest reporting segment. The segment grew by 37.9% year-on-year.
It’s time to understand precisely how big this market is in terms of users, iPhone install base and device install base, with an eye toward understanding the history and potential for growth.
First, it’s important to note that Apple refers to “Greater China” (GC) not just China. That means within this reporting segment are Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao. The populations are approximately, 1.4 billion, 23.2 million, 7.5 million and 700k respectively.
