How a MiniLED TV could be your next gaming monitor

PCWorld

When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. For a number of years, the perceived wisdom has been that a TV is great for watching shows, movies and playing games on a console, while the PC gamer needs a specialised monitor due to speed, connectivity and picture quality demands. This may have been true once, but the modern MiniLED TV has advanced to the point where it can make a definite claim as the one-stop solution for all your gaming and entertainment needs. This will be welcome news to many, as the prices of RAM and graphics cards continue to spiral, making it harder to put together a gaming rig. What if you didn't need a dedicated gaming monitor but instead could do it all through a quality TV like the new Hisense MiniLED ULED TV U7SG, which boasts fast refresh rates, popping colors, balanced contrast and plenty more?

MIT Technology Review

The Download: Anthropic launches Claude Science, and California's carbon manure math Plus: The US has lifted restrictions on Anthropic's Mythos and Fable models. Claude Science is Anthropic's newest flagship product At an event for pharmaceutical executives, biotech founders, and researchers yesterday, Anthropic announced Claude Science, a major new product intended to support scientific research like Claude Code supports software engineering. Like Claude Code, Claude Science can autonomously carry out meaningful work from concise, high-level instructions, with tools for computational biology and drug development. The launch signals that Anthropic is doubling down on AI for science, and the company will also use the product in its own research into drugs for rare, neglected diseases. Discover why Anthropic is betting big on AI for scientific research . Why California's carbon manure math doesn't add up Years ago, the state set up a system that pays cattle farmers to turn the methane emitted from cattle manure into natural gas.

The Best Automatic Litter Box of 2026: Petkit and Litter-Robot

WIRED

With these high-tech automatic litter boxes, gone are the days of scooping and smells. I can confidently say that having an automatic litter box has been the biggest game changer for me when it comes to cat ownership. I can't recommend them enough. They can be pricey, but never having to scoop poop again is priceless. We at WIRED--well, our WIRED cats--tested a dozen of the highest-rated and most technologically advanced automatic litter boxes on the market for at least a week, often more (using standard clay clumping litter unless otherwise indicated), to see if they were really worth the money--or the hype. Our new favorite automatic litter box is the Purobot Max Pro 2 because of its compact design and camera for monitoring. The Litter-Robot 4 is a close second, mostly because of its LitterHopper attachment that easily refills litter for you. Plus, we still love the more basic Petkit PuraMax 2 (and think it's a great option for most people). Check out our related guides, like the Best Automatic Feeders, Best Cat Water Fountains, Best Pet Cameras, and Best Cat Toys . We've got you covered; see our Best Dog Accessories . The Purobot Max Pro 2 is the newest model from Petkit.

Lectric XPress2 Review (2026): A Heavy-Duty but Nimble Ebike

WIRED

This hefty but nimble and highly customizable ebike makes the journey as important as the destination. Get where you want, and have fun along the way. Bigger wheels combined with front suspension can take on anything the road throws at you. Quick-release thru axle is confusing to assemble. Quite heavy and hard to maneuver when not riding.


I tested the Ryzen AI 400 for battery life. AMD, we have a problem

PCWorld

PCWorld's battery testing reveals AMD's Ryzen AI 7 445 processor delivers disappointing battery life performance in laptops like the Acer Swift Go 14 AI. The chip ranked last in streaming tests and efficiency scores, falling behind Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite and Intel's Core Ultra processors. With Ryzen AI 400 processors appearing in about a third of productivity laptops, users may want to consider Intel or Qualcomm alternatives for better battery performance. AMD's Ryzen mobile processors appear in about a third of all productivity laptops sold today. So, how does the Ryzen AI 400, AMD's latest mobile processor, actually hold up in real-world battery tests?


Just About Anyone Can Sell You GLP-1s Online Now

WIRED

Welcome to the "Temu experience of telehealth," where everyone from Grindr to MAGA influencers can open a virtual clinic selling weight loss drugs and more. This May, the digital search company JustAnswer made an odd pivot: It started selling weight loss drugs. Launching an online pharmacy to peddle GLP-1s wasn't the obvious next step for a business that offers paid guidance from experts, but chief executive Andy Kurtzig says the decision was partly driven by advice from ChatGPT and partly by avid customer interest. The number of queries related to the drugs more than doubled between 2024 and 2025, he says. Plus, it was easy to find help: A company called WhiteLabelMD handles customer service, provides software, and connects patients with clinicians who prescribe drugs like semaglutide and tirzepatide.
