I love using AI on my smartphones, but only if it saves me time and effort. I can’t say enough about how using Gemini as the digital assistant on my Pixel 6 Pro gives me great in-depth responses to my queries, quickly sets alarms and timers, handles text messages I wish to send and calls want to make.REALLY is an MVNO that uses the T-Mobile 5G networkAdam Lyons, the founder and CEO of REALLY, an MVNO that uses the T-Mobile network, has another idea on how to employ AI in the wireless industry. He wants to use AI to create a…
The number of new Steam releases keeps going up every year, and backwards compatibility on consoles means there’s no shortage of older games competing with everything new coming out each week. The flood of choices can lead to paralysis and make actually picking something out to download and play feel overwhelming. Kotaku is here to help. Since last November, we’ve been running a weekly picks of our favorite recent indie game releases. These games are usually pretty cheap and range from old-school boomer shooters to golf course design sims. They’re often created by very small teams, maybe even just one…
Both privilege escalation vulnerabilities stem from bugs in the kernel’s handling of page caches stored in memory, allowing untrusted users to modify them. They target caches in networking and memory-fragment handling components. Specifically, CVE-2026-43284 attacks the esp4 and esp6 () processes, and CVE-2026-43500 zeroes in on rxrpc. Last week’s CopyFail exploited faulty page caching in the authencesn AEAD template process, which is used for IPsec extended sequence numbers. A 2022 vulnerability named Dirty Pipe also stemmed from flaws that allow attackers to overwrite page caches. Researchers from security firm Automox wrote: Dirty Frag belongs to the same bug family as…

Back in 2024, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman predicted that generative AI would quickly begin reshaping the economy. “We believe that, in 2025, we may see the first AI agents ‘join the workforce’ and materially change the output of companies.” Two years later, AI agents still can’t even properly run a café. San Francisco-based startup Andon Labs recently put an AI agent nicknamed “Mona” in charge of a shop in Stockholm, Sweden to sell people coffee and sandwiches. As the AP reported on Monday (via PC Gamer), it’s not gone super great. Mona runs on Google’s Gemini model and was put…
4GB Should Be Enough For Anyone! NVIDIA has reacted to the complete disconnect between GPU MSRPs and the actual price you pay by slashing in half the … memory. That’s right folks, just in case you forgot GPU makers have no interest in lowering prices but they are more than happy to lower the quality of product they sell to us plebs. Yes, you can now get a slightly less overpriced RTX 5060 Ti with half the VRAM. If you see a suspiciously attractive price on an RTX 5060 Ti, you better count it’s VRAM before you buy. The FPS…
Devices on the Covered List need waivers to continue receiving software updates, the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology said in its waiver extension order on Friday. “Under this waiver, all Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), UAS critical components, and routers produced in a foreign country that were authorized for use in the United States prior to these devices being added to the Covered List may at least until January 1, 2029, consistent with FCC rules, continue to receive software and firmware updates that mitigate harm to US consumers,” the FCC engineering office said. The waiver covers “all software and firmware…
You know how some of the best phones and tablets available in the US (and many other markets) have gotten more expensive of late to allow their manufacturers to keep up with the continuous rise of key component costs? Evidently, Amazon hasn’t received that memo from the likes of Samsung and Motorola, not only keeping all the list prices of popular products such as the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, Tab S11, and Moto G Power (2026) unchanged but also offering heftier and heftier discounts with (obviously) no strings attached.The Z Fold 7 is a prime example (no…
Will Lies of P 2 use AI slop for concept art? Is the WWE the secret to when the new Gears comes out? And what if we get an update about Dragon Quest 12 at Summer Game Fest instead of Final Fantasy 7 Remake part three? It’s your belated Kotaku Checkpoint roundup for May 11, 2026, where I am still recovering from this weekend’s toxic Mixtape discourse. Let’s remember just how incredibly good Super Mario Bros. 3 was instead. New Ghost in the Shell anime debuts on July 7 The newest adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s sci-fi manga will be available…
Last year’s rollout of iOS 26 was striking, with the translucent Liquid Glass aesthetic. Apple has since iterated on its smartphone’s software, though some users continue to voice their displeasure. If you’ve held out, this latest version—iOS 26.5—includes a new feature that’s worth updating your smartphone for right now: end-to-end encryption for RCS messaging.Apple rolled out the latest version of its iPhone operating system on Monday. Now, if an iPhone owner sends or receives green bubbles, aka RCS texts, in Apple’s Messages app with an Android owner, those chats may be encrypted. “Conversations labeled as encrypted are encrypted end-to-end, so…
