In the world of esports gaming monitors, a new player could have appeared with a rare combination of performance and few sacrifices. Unveiling the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQWP-W at Gamescom 2025, Asus has the world’s fastest OLED monitor. High-performance display with a searing 540Hz refresh rate on a 26.5-inch 2560 x 1440 QHD OLED panel. Notably, this monitor has dual-mode capability that enables users to change to a 720Hz refresh rate at 1080p resolution – a feature virtually unheard of in the field.

On account of the two critical vulnerabilities, the August 2025 Android Security Bulletin covers fixes for six Android issues. Included in these issues is a critical flaw that could have allowed an attacker to execute code on a victim's device with zero interaction from the victim. Last month was the first time in almost a decade that Google did not release its monthly security update. Usually, there are dozens of vulnerabilities resolved each month, so this omission was both surprising and somewhat worrying. Meanwhile, Google announced that its AI Big Sleep system had identified 20 vulnerabilities across different open-source projects. August updates apply to Android 13, 14, 15, and 16. Android vendors are notified of all the issues at least a month before publication; however, ...

So far in 2025, the job market for IT jobs in the United States has not shown great strength; downward revisions to the Bureau of Labor Statistics statistics for May and June indicate that job losses in July are part of the IT sector slowdown than had been earlier believed.

A significant percentage of the employment growth recorded for May and June was erroneous. Amidst U.S.-China trade war, the domestic mine project has increased the number of labourers. According to the BLS, May's statistics called for an IT sector slowdown revision of 125,000 jobs, hence resulting in only 19,000 jobs being added; June’s figures were adjusted even furt...

According to the new rules, users of the social media platform, Instagram, must have a public account with at least 1,000 followers in order to use the Instagram Live feature on the platform. Instagram formerly allowed any user to broadcast live regardless of their follower number or whether their account was configured to be public or private. For little creators on the site who don’t reach the 1,000 followers level, as well as for everyday users who love going live with friends for amusement, this new requirement poses a major difficulty. A fresh notice will show for those users without public profiles and fewer than 1,000 followers when they try to use Instagram live, stating that their Instagram account is no longer qualified for this feature.  The notice explains, “We modifi...

Wireless internet is a constantly changing area of technology. It seems as if just yesterday we were celebrating the developments Wi-Fi 6 brought about. Now, with Wi-Fi 7 already unveiled, we are being tantalized about the possibilities of Wi-Fi 8 launch. The main emphasis, somewhat ironically, is not on speed, which is often the emphasis of new Wi-Fi standards. Qualcomm highlighted Wi-Fi 8’s main characteristics in a recent press release. Rolf De Vegt from Qualcomm stated, “Wi-Fi 8 is being developed to emphasize dependable performance in demanding real-world environments, therefore improving connectivity even in densely packed, interference-prone, and mobile settings” It is remarkable that their announcement made no reference to speed, usually a big selling factor when a new Wi-Fi ...
