    Look out.

    Next year’s Supergirl movie promises to be a little more rough and ready than Superman, so this first official look at the film suits it well.

    Milly Alcock plays the Kryptonian cousin, following a cameo in Superman, in a story adapting the comics’ Woman of Tomorrow arc. It’s DC’s next movie, followed by Clayface, a body horror take on the Batman villain.

    The first Qi2.2 charger stand is $66.99.

    Yesterday Ugreen dropped the first Qi2.2 power bank as the first certifications rolled out, and now Aukey has followed with a 2-in-1 charging stand dubbed the MagFusion 2X. You can preorder it today.

    Both charging pads are Qi2.2, meaning each can deliver 25W speeds. Aukey claims an iPhone 16 Pro Max charges 25 minutes faster than on Qi2 — which suggests Apple’s latest phones are already compatible.

    ICEBlock isn’t ‘completely anonymous’

    But no app is.

    The OnePlus 13 gets an AI upgrade today.

    A new update is rolling out Plus Mind, which uses AI to create calendar events or record important details from screenshots.

    It’s coming to the 13 and 13R, and rolls out worldwide “over the coming weeks.” Neither of those phones has the customizable Plus Key that activates the AI on phones like the new Nord 5, so you’ll have to use a three-finger swipe to trigger it instead.

    Yup, that sure is a bigger Pixel Watch battery.

    When the Pixel Watch 4 design leaked looking thicker than we’re used to, we figured Google was doubling down on battery.

    According to a new leak from Android Authority, we were right, though with less than 10 percent extra capacity, “doubling” it is not. The site also says Google is sticking with the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chip for the third year running while it develops its own chip for the Pixel Watch 5.

    Tesla’s India launch isn’t a short-term fix.

    Don’t expect Elon’s EV company to turn its fortunes around any time soon after launching in India today. It may be the world’s third-biggest auto market, but EVs make up less than 5 percent.

    Throw in heavy auto import tariffs that leave the Indian Model Y priced almost a third more than in the US, and it’s clear Tesla should expect a slow start.

    Nvidia says it can sell AI chips to China again.

    The company has been “assured” by the US government that licenses to sell its H20 GPU will be granted, and hopes to resume deliveries “soon” — along with launching a new RTX Pro GPU for China too.

    Nvidia has been lobbying for the right to sell the H20 to Chinese customers, since that’s what it was designed for — it’s a stripped back chip built to match US export controls.
