Attention, gamers! If you’ve been eyeing Nvidia’s powerful RTX 5070 but the price tag has been holding you back, brace yourself! The mid-range powerhouse has just dipped below $500, thanks to a sneaky Amazon deal – but there’s a catch!

Wccftech spotted that the MSI Gaming RTX 5070 12G Shadow 2X OC is now $499.99, a cool $50 off its MSRP. But here’s the catch: this deal is only for Amazon Prime members. Boo!

This 12GB beast of a graphics card packs a top boost speed of 2557MHz, making it a formidable force at 1440p. And with DLSS 4 (including frame generation), supported games will run smoother than ever.

Now, you might be thinking, “Isn’t the RTX 5070 one of those ‘avoid at all costs’ GPUs?” Well, yes and no. While 12GB of VRAM might not cut it for future-proofing or the most demanding games, it’s still a solid performer at 1440p. Plus, it’s currently outshining the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB in terms of power, despite having less VRAM.

So, should you pull the trigger? Well, this deal is pretty darn tempting. But remember, rumors are swirling about an RTX 5070 Super that could potentially undercut this price. And while we’re all for a good deal, waiting could pay off – if you can hold out until then.

🚨 Attention, Samsung fans! 🚨 We’ve got some potentially disappointing news about Samsung’s beloved Edge line. According to a report by News Pim, Samsung won’t be releasing the Galaxy S26 Edge due to poor sales of its predecessor, the S25 Edge. But that’s not all – the company is also said to be discontinuing the S25 Edge, so act fast if you’re still eyeing one!

💥 No S26 Edge in Sight
The report suggests that Samsung has decided to scrap the S26 Edge in favor of a Galaxy S26 Plus, which would join the S26 and S26 Ultra in the lineup. However, with the S26 series expected to launch early next year, Samsung might be running out of time to develop a Plus model.

📈 S25 Edge Sales Struggling
We’ve heard whispers that the S25 Edge wasn’t selling like hotcakes, and now it seems those rumors were spot on. Not only is Samsung reportedly discontinuing the S25 Edge, but they’ve also stopped producing new units. Once the current stock sells out, finding one might be impossible.

🗣️ Straight from the Horse’s Mouth
The report claims to have spoken to a Samsung official who wasn’t too optimistic about the future of the Edge line. They said, “I don’t know if the slim line will come back, but it doesn’t look easy at the moment. I think you can consider it to have essentially disappeared.”

📱 The Slim Phone Dilemma
It’s not just Samsung facing this issue. Apple’s iPhone Air also isn’t flying off the shelves, suggesting there might not be much demand for super-slim phones when they come at the cost of other specs and with a higher price tag.

🤔 The Final Verdict?
While we’re taking this news with a grain of salt, it does seem plausible. But hey, stranger things have happened in the tech world! So, keep your fingers crossed for a surprise S26 Edge launch, or at least a two-phone S26 lineup.

Mark your calendars, tech enthusiasts! Samsung’s Android XR headset is set to hit the market on October 21, and it’s looking like it might not be a South Korea-exclusive after all. A sweet $100 promotion hints at a US launch, making us all the more excited to see what this mystery headset, codenamed Project Moohan, has in store. Let’s compare the leaked specs with the Meta Quest 3 and see how they stack up.

Specs Showdown

First things first, we know for sure that Moohan will be powered by the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 processor. Qualcomm claims it’s 20% faster than the XR2 Gen 2 in the Quest 3, with a 15% boost in GPU power. Plus, it can pump out 4.3K visuals at a smooth 90Hz, blowing the Quest 3’s 3.1K resolution out of the water.

Now, let’s dive into the rumors. Moohan is said to sport high-resolution micro-OLED displays, one for each eye, with a whopping 4,032 pixels per inch. That’s even sharper than the Apple Vision Pro’s 3,400 PPI, and more than double the Meta Quest 3’s 1,218 PPI. And get this, a leaked benchmark suggests it’ll have 16GB of RAM, matching the Vision Pro and doubling the Quest 3’s capacity.

Design: Comfort is Key

Design is crucial when it comes to headsets, and Moohan seems to tick all the right boxes. Weighing in at just 545g, it’s only 30g heavier than the Quest 3 and 50g lighter than the Vision Pro. Despite packing a bunch of sensors for mixed reality and eye tracking, Samsung has managed to keep the weight down by moving the battery to an external puck. Plus, it’s said to come with plenty of cushions and light blockers for a comfortable, versatile experience.

Price: Worth the Splurge?

Price is still up in the air, but if Samsung’s offering a $100 discount just for registering, it’s safe to assume Moohan won’t be cheap. Rumors suggest it could start at around $1,800, which is pricier than the Quest 3 but cheaper than the Vision Pro. The big question mark is the software. While the Quest 3 has a solid suite of exclusive apps, Android XR is still an unknown. Only time will tell if Samsung’s XR headset will offer enough features to justify its price tag.

Stay tuned, folks! We’ll know more on October 21, and we can’t wait to see what Samsung has up its sleeve.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a game-changer, transforming how industries collect, understand, and use data. Machines and sensors are getting smarter and more connected by the day, generating a wealth of real-time data like performance stats, operating temperatures, environmental factors, and even predictive maintenance alerts. But what good is all this data if you can’t store and process it effectively?

Enter edge storage, a game-changer in its own right. Unlike consumer IoT, which often relies on the cloud, IIoT frequently operates in challenging conditions where internet access is limited or non-existent. This is where storage at the edge comes in, allowing data to be captured and analyzed locally, in real-time.

Flash-based storage, embedded right into the device, is the optimal choice for IIoT. Here’s why:

1. Speed and Durability: Flash storage is fast and durable, performing well even in harsh industrial environments. Its lack of moving parts makes it resistant to vibration, heat, dust, and other common elements found in factories and production lines.

2. Scalability: As IIoT systems expand, so do data needs. Flash storage can scale with your system, increasing capacity as needed without requiring a complete overhaul of your infrastructure.

3. Heat Management: The layered design of Flash helps manage heat and wear over time, ensuring reliable performance even in busy environments where devices are constantly writing and collecting data.

But edge storage is about more than just where data is stored; it’s about what you can do with that data. Real-time analytics offers immediate operational benefits. For instance, when an anomaly occurs, data stored at the edge can be rapidly analyzed to diagnose and fix issues before they escalate.

Moreover, edge storage supports predictive maintenance. By continuously monitoring data over time, subtle patterns can be identified, allowing maintenance teams to plan repairs or replace parts ahead of time, reducing disruption and keeping operations running smoothly.

The advantages of edge storage extend beyond the factory floor. In healthcare, it can support faster access to test results, helping doctors make quicker diagnoses. In the public sector, it can provide regular updates on vital infrastructure, helping keep essential services running smoothly.

As IIoT devices continue to grow and generate more data, Flash storage will become a crucial part of any effective device strategy at the edge. To stay ahead, businesses must ensure they have the right storage capabilities in place to capitalize on this evolving environment.

So, are you ready to unlock real-time insights from your IIoT devices with storage at the edge? The future of industry is here, and it’s faster, smarter, and more durable than ever before!

Hold onto your hats, Coben fans! You’re not seeing things – Harlan Coben’s ‘Lazarus’ is indeed swimming to Prime Video, set to premiere on October 22. But before you start panicking about the end of an era, let’s dive into why this isn’t the Netflix-Coben breakup we thought it was.

You might be wondering, “How can this be? Isn’t Harlan Coben basically Netflix’s spirit animal at this point?” Well, you’re not wrong. The bestselling author’s name has become synonymous with the streaming giant, with hits like ‘Missing You’, ‘The Stranger’, and ‘Fool Me Once’ all part of his five-year adaptation deal with Netflix. But that deal ended in 2025, and ‘Lazarus’ is Coben’s first big project afterwards. So, is this the end of the Coben-Netflix love story?

Not so fast! After chatting with Coben and his team, it seems both Netflix and Prime Video are still in the running for future projects. “Prime Video has been a wonderful partner in this, and Netflix has been a wonderful partner in other shows,” Coben revealed. “We feel extraordinarily blessed to work with both of them, we love both of them.”

But why the switch to Prime Video for ‘Lazarus’? Well, given the massive success of ‘Fool Me Once’, it’s not surprising that the team wanted to keep both partnerships happy. Plus, Prime Video might be eager to prove it can create the same water cooler moments as Netflix, despite having around 250 million fewer subscribers.

So, what’s next for Coben fans? While we don’t have all the answers yet, we do know that other Coben projects are in the works. Here’s hoping we get the best of both worlds – Netflix adaptations of Coben’s books and Prime Video originals created with co-creator Danny Brocklehurst.

Stay tuned for more updates, and in the meantime, why not check out some of the best streaming deals out there? And if you’re a Disney+ fan, we’ve got the lowdown on their prices and any available deals. Happy streaming!

🚨 Breaking News! 🚨 The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has just dropped a bombshell warning! Federal agencies, brace yourselves – a nation-state hacker crew has swiped F5’s most sensitive data, putting your networks in serious jeopardy!

In a stark emergency directive (ED 26-01), CISA revealed that a stealthy cyber threat actor, believed to be backed by a foreign government, has made off with a treasure trove of F5’s files. Among the loot? A chunk of F5’s BIG-IP source code and vulnerability data!

🔐 Why should you care? 🔐

With this insider info, the hackers could:

💥 Analyze F5’s products to find hidden, zero-day vulnerabilities.
💥 Develop malicious software to exploit these unknown flaws.
💥 Compromise your systems, steal your data, or even take control of your networks!

CISA is pulling no punches here – they’re calling this an “imminent threat” to federal networks using F5’s products!

🛠️ What should you do? 🛠️

F5 has released updates, but you need to act fast! CISA urges you to:

🔹 Catalog and patch/harden all F5 devices in your tech stack, including BIG-IP iSeries, rSeries, and others.
🔹 Do the same for devices running BIG-IP (F5OS), BIG-IP (TMOS), Virtual Edition (VE), BIG-IP Next, BIG-IQ, and BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes (BNK)/Cloud-Native Network Functions (CNF).

F5 confirmed the breach, but they’re tight-lipped about who’s behind it. They insist that no critical or remotely exploitable vulnerabilities were stolen, and there’s no evidence of hackers exploiting the breach yet. But don’t let your guard down – this is a race against time!

Stay safe out there, folks! Keep your eyes peeled for more updates, and remember – knowledge is power in the cybersecurity game! 💪🔒
