The innovative privacy display from the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra may be incorporated into the upcoming MacBook Pro.

      A feature that prevents strangers from peeking at your screen is on its way to the Mac, and it may arrive sooner than expected.

      Apple’s forthcoming M6 Pro and M6 Max MacBook Pros are subtly becoming their best laptops to date. We were already aware of the new chipset, OLED displays, a completely new design, and more. Now, reports indicate that Apple is set to incorporate one of Samsung’s standout features into the next MacBook Pro, potentially arriving much sooner than initially believed.

      If you've been keeping up with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, you're likely familiar with its Privacy Display feature. For those unaware, this feature can quickly darken the screen for anyone viewing from the side. The effect can either shade the entire screen or just a part of it, making it incredibly useful for those who work in public and handle sensitive data.

      Is Apple accelerating the adoption of this privacy display?

      Back in February 2026, the research firm Omdia predicted that Apple would implement this technology in the MacBook Pro lineup by 2029. However, according to Wccftech, a new report from leaker Schrödinger suggests that we might see this technology in the M6 Pro and Max MacBook Pro models, which are set to launch in December of this year.

      It's important to note that only the M6 Pro and M6 Max versions are anticipated to receive an OLED upgrade, while the base M6 MacBook Pro is expected to retain a mini-LED screen. Therefore, the Privacy Display feature is also likely to be exclusive to the Pro and Max variants.

      What other updates are there for the M6 Pro and M6 Max MacBook Pros?

      Apple is not only enhancing the display; the M6 Pro and M6 Max MacBook Pros will also feature a complete redesign and a new cooling system. However, this comes with a significant price increase, which is disappointing.

      None of this information is confirmed; hence, it should be taken with caution. However, if these leaks are accurate, the upcoming MacBook Pro could represent one of the most substantial upgrades in years, potentially convincing me to move on from my M1 Pro MacBook Pro.

      The CEO of Barnes & Noble believes that AI-generated books are acceptable. However, he is mistaken.

      Welcoming AI-generated books in our bookstores, even with a disclaimer, is a decision we may regret.

      Recently, Barnes & Noble CEO James Daunt spoke with NBC News and shared a thought that has been lingering in my mind. When questioned about books written by AI, Daunt stated, "I have no issue selling any book, as long as it does not disguise itself or claim to be something it isn’t, and it possesses an essential quality that appeals to the customer, the reader."

      At first glance, this seems reasonable. As long as readers can easily see the label, they can choose accordingly. However, this perspective raises important questions that remain unaddressed.

      AMD is reportedly preparing Zen 7 processors based on the 14A node to compete with Intel's advancements.

      Zen 7 may represent a significant upgrade in chiplets and cache for AMD.

      Intel has been making substantial announcements regarding its upcoming 14A process, which is anticipated to be a crucial test of whether the company can leverage its future chip roadmap to regain momentum against AMD. Recently, information from Commercial Times indicates that AMD might already be strategizing its response. The company’s upcoming Zen 7 processors are reportedly designed around TSMC’s A14 node, potentially allowing AMD to rival Intel’s 14A efforts.

      Curious about vintage computers? This virtual museum offers the chance to explore hundreds of them.

      The Virtual OS Museum provides a nostalgic trip back in time.

      If you find that current operating systems seem overly polished, flat, and uninteresting, a new museum can transport you through the history of vintage computers. Curated by Andrew Warkentin, the Virtual OS Museum is an interactive experience showcasing operating systems and standalone applications running under emulation.

      This is more than just a showcase displaying still images of retro software; the museum operates as a Linux VM for QEMU, VirtualBox, or UTM, equipped with a custom launcher and preconfigured installations designed to boot without requiring users to navigate complex setup files and emulator settings.
