Over 5,000 Dropbox Accounts Compromised In Targeted Breach

A security vulnerability involving Lenovo ID single sign-on authentication resulted in unauthorized access to approximately 5,000 Dropbox accounts. The cloud storage provider notified affected individuals by email, confirming that unauthorized activity was detected on impacted accounts between August 4 and August 21, 2026. The security breakdown occurred due to an email verification flaw within Lenovos account registration system. Attackers discovered they could create a fraudulent Lenovo ID using a targeted victims existing email address without proper identity confirmation. Because of a legacy authentication integration between the two platforms, Dropbox treated the newly created Lenovo ID as a verified login for the associated Dropbox profile. This oversight allowed the hacker to bypass standard credential prompts and directly hijack existing accounts simply by knowing the users primary email address. so dropbox got hacked (never had a Lenovo account, haven't been to UK) pic.twitter.com/UoYRaJFuEC yoni | parser.eth (@yonilevy) August 31, 2026 The incident drew sharp criticism from cybersecurity observers, who highlighted the fundamental flaw of permitting third-party login linking to pre-existing user accounts without demanding proof of prior password ownership. The breach raised immediate privacy concerns given that Dropbox users routinely host personal documents, financial data, and sensitive corporate files on the platform. Despite the severity of the authentication oversight, the impact remained relatively isolated. Reports indicate that around 5,000 accounts were accessed, none of which had enabled multi-factor authentication (MFA) . The presence of two-factor verification successfully prevented account takeovers against users who had configured it. In response, Lenovo characterized the vulnerability as an issue tied to a legacy integration , stating that both organizations collaborated to resolve the underlying authentication process. To remediate the threat, Dropbox took immediate containment actions: Terminated and expired all active sessions that were authenticated via Lenovo IDs Completely severed the account integration link connecting Lenovo profiles to Dropbox Mandated direct password verification, preventing any Lenovo ID sign-in without a primary Dropbox password Dropbox additionally noted in customer notices that internal access logs showed no conclusive evidence that stored user files were downloaded or viewed during the intrusions.

Congress-NC alliance is not about one Cabinet berth, it is about J&Ks people: Ghulam Ahmad Mir

Srinagar, Sep 3: Senior Congress leader Ghulam Ahmad Mir on Thursday defended the partys alliance with the National Conference, saying the partnership was not forged for a Cabinet berth or any individual political benefit but to safeguard the interests of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Speaking about the continuing discussion over the vacant Cabinet berths in the Omar Abdullah-led government, Mir said the Congress should not be viewed merely through the number of MLAs it has in the Assembly. We have supported the National Conference at this time. We did not give this support for a Cabinet berth or for any job. We gave it because of the way communal forces are looking at Jammu and Kashmir, their attacks and their desire, which they had earlier as well, to establish themselves here, Mir said. He said the Congress had a larger political role to play in Jammu and Kashmir and that its commitment to the alliance went beyond the question of ministerial representation. If the National Conference is still safe, it is because of the Congress party, because the Congress party is the only party which will never want to give the BJP an opportunity. This is a solid commitment, he said. Mir was responding to questions over the delay in the expansion of the Council of Ministers and reports that one of the three vacant Cabinet positions could go to the Congress. He said the issue had been under discussion for several months but maintained that the decision to induct or drop ministers ultimately rested with the Chief Minister. You have been hearing about Cabinet expansion and induction for three months. There is a date after date, but in practice it has not happened, because this is the sole prerogative of the Chief Minister. He will decide when and which MLA he wants to take and whom he wants to drop, Mir said. At the same time, he said the matter should not be reduced to a bargaining exercise over one Cabinet seat. The Congress is also a very big ocean, and Congress also has to look at the entire situation of Jammu and Kashmir. This is not merely about one Cabinet berth. The question is about the people of Jammu and Kashmir and the issues of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, he said. Mir also cautioned against repeatedly referring to the Congress as a party with only six MLAs in the Assembly. If the National Conference looks at the Congress only according to the number six, if it weighs it on the basis that these are six people, then I think it is doing injustice to the Congress today, he said. He pointed out that the alliance had benefited both parties electorally and politically. It has to be weighed as a party. It is because of this party that the alliance happened and the National Conference benefited from it, and after that, if our party got six seats, Mir said. Government of India responsible for security situation Mir also criticised the Centre over the continuing security challenges in Jammu and Kashmir, saying the Union government could not shift responsibility for the situation to the elected government in the Union Territory. Referring to threats against Kashmiri Pandits and recent militant incidents, he said the security situation had been one of the principal reasons cited for the changes made to Jammu and Kashmirs constitutional and administrative status in 2019. The question arises that on August 5, 2019, citing these very threats, these very selective killings and these very incidents, the Home Ministry and the Government of India, without asking us, cut our neck and brought our state down, Mir said. He said the Centre had justified the move by arguing that it was necessary to improve the security situation and ensure that the entire law-and-order situation was dealt with by the Government of India. Now it is the seventh year. And even after the seventh year, we continue to see every year that killings are taking place, selective targets are taking place, and Kashmiri Pandits are also receiving threats, he said. Mir argued that responsibility for the situation therefore lay with the Centre. If this is a failure, then it is the failure of the Government of India, and all the agencies are in their hands, he said. He added that Jammu and Kashmirs security and law-and-order machinery was no longer under the control of an elected state government. Today, no person in Jammu and Kashmir has these security agencies or law and order in his hands. In the UT, the Lieutenant Governor is looking after it, and at the Centre, the Home Minister of India is looking after it. So definitely, if the voice is raised that threats are still being received, the responsibility goes to the Government of India, Mir said. Financial situation not so bad that children should be on streets Mir also backed the demands of protesting students and professionals seeking greater financial assistance from the Jammu and Kashmir government. He said the demands appeared genuine and that Jammu and Kashmir was providing significantly less support compared with other states. It is a human issue, clearly. Their issue should be resolved. We will also appeal to the Chief Minister because Finance is with him and he should take a call, Mir said. While acknowledging the Union Territorys financial constraints, he said the government should find a middle path. We believe that the financial situation of our state is not so good. But it is not so bad either that we should see thousands of our children on the streets. Some middle path should be found, he said. Mir warned that if the issue remained unresolved, the Congress would raise it with other political parties and seek a clear response from the Chief Minister when the House resumes. If they do not do it, then definitely, being the Congress legislature party in the House, we will talk to other parties as well, and from the 21st, when the House begins, if it is not resolved by then, we will definitely want, along with our other colleagues, that the Chief Minister give a solid answer on this and resolve their issue, he said. On Congress and possible political returnees Asked about speculation surrounding leaders who may seek to return to the Congress, Mir said the partys doors remained open to those who shared its ideology. Congress is an ocean. But Congress has its own ideology. For those whose ideology matches that ideology, or whose ideology aligns with the Congress ideology, the doors are open, he said. However, he dismissed speculation about some individuals returning to the party, saying some of them had left Congress decades ago. Some of those whose names you have taken left Congress after eating and drinking for 40-45 years, and their stomachs may not yet be full there, so why would they look back? Mir said, adding that much of the speculation was confined to social media. He also criticised the conduct of the two major political parties during a recent protest, arguing that issues affecting ordinary people had been sidelined. There was no issue of 14 million people in it. Both of them were for taking a chair and saving a chair. This was the first time in 80 years of democracy that the party in power was on the streets, Mir said. He said political parties should instead be taking up issues such as unemployment, rising electricity bills and the problems faced by young people. If tomorrow a forum is formed and takes up all these issues and says, Come to Srinagar, and five lakh people stand there, demanding answers from both governments, then will pellet guns be fired at that time? Will it be said then that they were anti-national? Mir asked.

Eufy Enters Autonomous Lawn Care With S2 Max Robotic Mower

During IFA 2026 , Eufy has officially revealed the S2 Max Robot Lawn Mower , representing the brands first outdoor robotic mower designed and engineered entirely in-house. Developed to introduce advanced autonomous robotics and high-level artificial intelligence into residential and commercial lawn maintenance, the machine eliminates traditional physical installation constraints while delivering substantial yard coverage. Engineered for large properties, the S2 Max is capable of mapping and maintaining lawns of up to 15,000 square meters (approximately 3.7 acres). Departing from older outdoor robotic designs that rely on perimeter boundary wires or external RTK base station antennas, the system utilizes vision-based SLAM technology (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). As the unit navigates across open turf, it constructs a real-time 3D map of the environment and localizes itself dynamically without requiring supplemental hardware installations. At the center of its navigation architecture is an industry-leading 48 TOPS of onboard computing power . Rather than utilizing processing simply for wheel control and motor management, this high compute capacity is dedicated to real-time visual perception, situational decision-making, advanced object recognition, and immediate obstacle avoidance across dynamic environments. Mechanical and terrain-handling capabilities include: Edge-to-edge cutting system : Equipped with an extendable trimming arm engineered to trim closely against borders, fences, and walls, reaching areas commonly missed by standard mower decks. All-wheel drive traction : An integrated AWD powertrain ensures steady movement over uneven, wet, or muddy ground. Slope performance : The drive architecture enables the mower to tackle steep inclines of up to 80% slope (38 degrees) without losing traction. Through the combination of computer vision, high processing power, and robust mechanical traction, Eufy positions the mower as an autonomous outdoor platform capable of managing demanding landscapes independently. The Eufy S2 Max Robot Lawn Mower is scheduled to release in the European market in May 2027 . Official launch timing and retail pricing for the United States have not yet been determined.

JJ Smuts, Tom Curran Star as Edinburgh Rockers Beat Belfast Wolves by 59 Runs

Edinburgh Castle Rockers delivered a commanding all-round performance to defeat Belfast Wolves by 59 runs in Match 11 of the ETPL, with JJ Smuts near-century and Tom Currans historic hat-trick leading the way at Voorburg Cricket Club, Netherlands. The match also produced one of the most unusual moments of the tournament so far, with brothers Ross Adair and Mark Adair facing each other on opposite sides and both eventually playing a direct role in each others dismissals. Belfast Wolves won the toss and elected to bowl, but the Rockers quickly established control through JJ Smuts. The South African all-rounder produced a superb 98 from 60 balls, striking 11 fours and three sixes as he anchored Edinburghs innings while maintaining an impressive scoring rate, earning him the man of the match award. Ross Adair added nine before the first wicket fell at 19, but the dismissal carried a storyline of its own. Mark Adair removed his brother Ross, with Tim Tector completing the catch. It was the first of two occasions in which the brothers would be directly involved in each others dismissals. Andries Gous added 14 before Brandon McMullen shifted the momentum with a blistering 30 from 16 balls, including two fours and two sixes. Mitchell Santner then provided the finishing burst, smashing an unbeaten 25 from 13, as Edinburgh closed on 189 for five from their 20 overs. Belfasts chase began with immediate trouble. Trent Boult produced a superb opening spell, claiming three wickets for 16 runs. Tim Tector and Lorcan Tucker fell in successive deliveries, before Paul Stirling was dismissed for 25 from 13 balls as the Wolves slipped to 37 for three. Glenn Maxwell offered resistance with 35 from 23, while David Miller made 20, but Edinburgh continued to chip away. Jack Jarvis claimed two wickets and Mark Watt added another before Curran took centre stage. The Rockers all-rounder produced the defining moment of the match, taking the first hat-trick in ETPL history. Curran dismissed Fred Klaassen and Matthew Humphreys with his final two deliveries of the 16th over, before returning for the 18th over, where he bowled and removed Mark Adair to complete three wickets from three consecutive balls of his spell. He finished with outstanding figures of 4/20 from 3.1 overs. And once again, the Adair brothers were at the centre of the action. Mark Adair, who had earlier dismissed Ross, was Currans fourth wicket but the catch was completed by Ross Adair. Earlier, Mark had ended Ross innings, now Ross had a hand in ending Marks. It was a remarkable exchange between the brothers in a match already full of memorable moments. Belfast were bowled out for 130 in 17.1 overs, giving Edinburgh a comprehensive 59-run victory. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Smuts 98 provided the foundation, Boults three-wicket burst broke the Wolves chase early, and Currans historic hat-trick sealed the result.

Faf du Plessis Stars as Rotterdam Dockers Chase Down Dublin Guardians in ETPL

Rotterdam Dockers produced another statement performance in the ETPL, chasing down 179 against Dublin Guardians to secure a seven wicket victory with eight balls remaining at Sportpark Westvliet. After winning the toss and choosing to field, the Dockers were set a challenging target as Dublin posted 178 for four from their 20 overs. James Vince led the way for the Guardians, remaining unbeaten on 95 from 54 balls, striking five fours and six sixes. Sanjay Krishnamurthi added 26 from 17, while Vijay Shankar provided a powerful finish with 26 from 13, including two sixes. Dublin's innings was built around Vince's ability to keep the scoreboard moving. After Noah Croes fell for eight, Vince combined with Harry Tector for a 56-run partnership, taking the Guardians through the middle overs. Tector contributed 14 from 15 before falling at 78, after which Vince continued to anchor the innings. Partnerships with Daryl Mitchell, Krishnamurthi and Shankar then helped Dublin finish strongly, with the final total reaching 178 for four. But Rotterdam's response was even more emphatic. Michael Levitt immediately changed the tempo of the chase, smashing 35 from just 14 balls, with three fours and three sixes at a strike rate of 250. His explosive start combined with Faf du Plessis' experience gave the Dockers a 55-run opening partnership, bringing the required rate under control before Levitt was dismissed by Joshua Little. Faf then took complete command. The Rotterdam captain produced an outstanding 79 from 51 balls, striking nine fours and a six at a strike rate of 154.90. More than simply providing stability, du Plessis repeatedly found the boundary and ensured that the chase never lost momentum. Ravichandran Ashwin brought his T20 experience into the middle overs, looking to slow the Dockers scoring. However, Levitts explosive start and du Plessis control ensured the Guardians struggled to build sustained pressure. After Levitt's departure, Faf added 39 with Vikramjit Singh, who contributed 18 from 14 balls, before another partnership took the chase further. When Vikramjit fell at 94, Faf and Heinrich Klaasen put together a crucial 54-run stand, shifting the equation firmly in Rotterdam's favour. Klaasen then took responsibility for the finish. His unbeaten 34 from 28 balls included two sixes, while Ben McDermott remained alongside him as the Dockers closed in on victory. Klaasen and McDermott ensured there was no late drama, taking the Dockers to 179 for three in 18.4 overs. For his match defining innings, Faf du Plessis was named Player of the Match, capping a performance that combined leadership, control and attacking intent. Dublin had produced a substantial total and Vince's unbeaten 95 was an outstanding effort, but Rotterdam's response showcased the versatility of their batting unit. Four partnerships, Levitt and du Plessis, du Plessis and Vikramjit, du Plessis and Klaasen, and Klaasen and McDermott steadily dismantled the target. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories The Dockers once again demonstrated their ability to chase with purpose. With du Plessis leading from the front, Rotterdam turned a demanding target into another impressive victory.

Intern doctors protest over stipend hike continues

Intern doctors of Government Medical College (GMC) Rajouri and other medical colleges across Jammu on Wednesday continued their indefinite strike, demanding an increase in their monthly stipend from the existing Rs 12,500 to Rs 30,000. The protesting doctors held a peaceful dharna outside GMC Rajouri, urging the government to revise their stipend, saying interns performed duties under challenging conditions in hospitals but were being paid a meagre amount. The agitation has been continuing for the past three days, with intern doctors from various medical colleges pressing the government to implement a stipend of Rs 30,000, which they said was in accordance with prevailing norms. The strike has also affected the functioning of some healthcare institutions as doctors have abstained from duties in certain cases. As part of efforts to intensify the agitation, intern doctors at GMC Rajouri took out a peaceful candlelight protest march on Tuesday evening. The protesters raised slogans in support of their demand and urged the government to address the issue at the earliest. On Wednesday, MLA Rajouri Iftkhar Ahmed also visited the protest site and met the doctors assuring them of taking up their demand and issues before the government for necessary redressal.

Chatroo minor rape-death case:Crime Branch raids 2 accuseds residences

In a significant development in the Chatroo minor rape-and-death case, the Crime Branch on Wednesday morning conducted searches at the residences of two accused persons, identified as Tariq Hussain and Khalid Hussain, in the Gurinal area of Chatroo in Kishtwar district, as part of its ongoing investigation, officials said. The searches were carried out after the case was formally transferred to the Crime Branch by the Jammu and Kashmir administration following sustained protests and demands from residents and various groups for an impartial and comprehensive investigation. Officials familiar with the development said that the searches were aimed at locating and examining material and documentary evidence that could assist investigators in reconstructing the sequence of events and establishing the alleged role of the accused and other persons connected with the case. The Crime Branch is also examining evidence collected during the earlier investigation. The case relates to the death of a minor girl in the Chatroo area, which had triggered widespread outrage and protests across the region. FIR number 34/2026 was initially registered at Police Station Chatroo, and the investigation was subsequently expanded with provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and other applicable laws invoked during the course of the probe. The case had witnessed a series of protests, shutdowns, candle marches and sit-in demonstrations in Chatroo, with protesters demanding that the investigation be transferred to an independent agency and that every person allegedly involved be brought to justice. During the earlier investigation, seven persons were arrested in connection with the case, including the alleged prime accused and others whose suspected roles came under scrutiny. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) was also constituted by the police to investigate the matter before the government decided to hand over the case to the Crime Branch amid continued public demands for a broader and independent probe. Following the transfer, the Crime Branch formally began its investigation and has since been examining the circumstances leading to the minor girl's death, the evidence collected so far and the alleged involvement of different individuals. The latest searches at the residences of Tariq Hussain and Khalid Hussain are being viewed as part of the agency's efforts to strengthen the evidence in the case. Investigators are also likely to question persons associated with the case and conduct further searches, if required, as the investigation progresses. The incident has continued to evoke strong public sentiment in Chatroo and adjoining areas, with residents demanding a fair and time-bound investigation and stringent legal action against anyone found responsible.

Stipend delay keeps medical interns on strike

Srinagar, Sep 2: The corridors of several medical colleges across Jammu and Kashmir witnessed another day of protest on Wednesday as MBBS and BDS interns continued their strike for the third consecutive day, demanding an increase in their monthly stipend. With white coats replacing workstations and protest slogans echoing outside hospital buildings, the interns have suspended their duties since August 31, bringing attention to what they describe as a years-long delay in revising their remuneration. Every year, hundreds of MBBS and BDS graduates undergo compulsory internship training in government medical colleges. They argue that their stipend remains lower than that offered in several other states and Union Territories. This situation has been created because the authorities have failed to take a decision. It has been three years since the government committee recommended enhancement of the intern stipend, but we are still waiting. The file is still under process. We do not know where it is stuck or when it will finally be signed, said an intern at SKIMS Medical College, Bemina. The interns currently receive around Rs 12,000 per month. The strike has also begun to affect hospital services, with patients bearing the impact of the interns absence from routine duties. Interns have been participating in protests at their respective medical colleges across J&K. The protesting interns pointed to recent decisions in other states to highlight the disparity. They said the Uttar Pradesh Government has increased the monthly stipend for medical interns to Rs 30,000, while J&K interns continue to receive substantially less. This widening disparity underscores a concerning oversight regarding the foundational workforce that sustains critical healthcare infrastructure, the interns said. In 2023, a J&K Government committee recommended increasing the stipend for MBBS and BDS interns from Rs 12,000 to Rs 25,000 per month. In October 2024, interns met the Chief Minister in Srinagar and were assured that there would be no disparity between J&K interns and their counterparts elsewhere in the country. The stipend was last revised in January 2019 during Governors Rule, when it was increased from Rs 4,800 to Rs 12,300 per month. Since then, they said, the amount has remained unchanged for more than seven years despite inflation and rising living expenses. On July 15 last year, Health Minister Sakina Itoo had stated that the stipend would be increased very soon and that the file was under process. The matter was again taken up by the All-India Medical Students Association (AIMSA), which submitted a representation to the Chief Minister on September 9, 2025, seeking intervention. The interns also demanded that the revision of their stipend should not be unnecessarily linked to any increase in MBBS or BDS fees and called for uniform implementation of the revised stipend across all government medical colleges in Jammu and Kashmir. As the protest entered its third day, the interns maintained that their demand was not merely about an increase in monthly remuneration, but about recognising the role they play in keeping the healthcare system running during their compulsory year of training.

iOS 27: Release date, Beta, compatible iPhones and all new features

Macworld Apple has officially unveiled the new features coming to compatible iPhones running iOS 27 later this year, introducing major Apple Intelligence upgrades, changes to Siri, parental controls enhancements and improvements across core iPhone apps. iOS 27 is currently available as a beta test version for developers and public testers. The software has been going through several months of testing before its full public release which is likely to happen in the next few weeks. Apple typically launches new versions of iOS in September, often around the second week making Monday, September 14 a likely release date based on past patterns. iOS 27 will be supported on every iPhone all the way back to iPhone 11 and iPhone SE 2, though some Apple Intelligence and Siri related features will only be available on newer iPhones. This hub contains everything Apple has confirmed will be coming in iOS 27 when it launches, including new features, compatible iPhones, beta release information, Apple Intelligence updates and whats new for Siri. Whats New in iOS 27 at a Glance Siri AI : Apples new Siri AI combines personal context, onscreen awareness and web knowledge to deliver more natural conversations, richer answers, app actions and cross-device chat history. Apple Intelligence across apps : Apple Intelligence expands across Safari, Photos, Messages, Mail, Calendar, Home and Shortcuts, adding smarter suggestions, automation, image generation and context-aware assistance. Smarter Photos editing : Photos gains Spatial Reframing, Extend and an upgraded Clean Up tool, allowing users to improve composition, expand images and remove distractions more naturally. Child safety and parental controls : New parental controls include Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, app schedules and enhanced Communication Safety tools designed to give parents more control. Safari and productivity upgrades : Safari can organise tabs, monitor webpages and build extensions from descriptions, while Passwords, Calendar and Shortcuts gain powerful new AI-powered capabilities. iOS 27 release date: When will Apple release iOS 27? September 2026 iOS 27 has been in beta since it was unveiled at WWDC in June, but the official version of iOS 27 will not be available to install on compatible iPhones until later in 2026. Apple has confirmed that the iPhone launch event will take place on September 9, so we anticipate that iOS 27 will be available to download on Monday, September 14, as the iOS download usually closely follows Apples September event. What is the latest iOS 27 beta? As of September 1, iOS 27 beta 8 is now available to developers, with the public beta expected shortly. At this late stage in the development cycle, Apple is focusing on stability rather than adding new features, with recent betas mainly delivering bug fixes, security updates, performance improvements and final polish ahead of launch. Siri AI in iOS 27 Apple By far the biggest upgrade coming in iOS 27 is Siri AI Apples new Apple Intelligence-powered version of Siri. Apple says it is more personal, conversational and capable than the current assistant, with support for natural follow-up questions, personal context, onscreen awareness and up-to-date information from the web. Siri AI features More natural conversations : Siri AI can understand open-ended questions, follow-up requests and more complex natural language, making interactions feel less like issuing simple voice commands. Personal context : Siri can draw on information stored in Messages, Mail, Photos and Notes to find details and answer questions. For example, you could ask it to find information buried in an old email or message. Onscreen awareness : Siri can understand what youre viewing and act on it, such as saving an address from a message, adding an event to Calendar or answering questions about an article. Camera intelligence : A new Siri Camera mode lets you show Siri something through the iPhones camera, then ask questions or perform actions based on what it sees. More capable app actions : Siri can perform tasks within apps such as Messages, Music and Reminders. It can, for example, edit a recently sent message, add a song to a playlist or handle more complex Apple Music requests. Better general knowledge and web answers : Siri can use information from the web to answer questions about recent events and tackle more specific or complicated queries than before. Conversation history across devices : A dedicated Siri app lets users revisit previous conversations, pin important chats and continue conversations across Apple devices using iCloud syncing. More natural Siri voices : Siri gains more expressive voices, with controls on compatible devices for adjusting speaking pace and expressiveness. Voice customisation requires an iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone Air or newer. Improved dictation : Better speech recognition, automatic punctuation, capitalisation and formatting allow users to dictate more naturally when converting speech into text. AI-assisted message replies : Siri can compose contextual replies in Messages using the conversation, personal information and web searches. Shortcuts can also automate replies to selected contacts, although manual Siri-assisted replies allow users to check and edit the response before it is sent. For more Siri AI message replies read about what happened when we made Siri AI Answer all our Messages . How good is Siri AI? Siri AI represents a significant improvement over the old Siri, particularly when handling conversational questions, current information and personal context. Early testing suggests it can deal with far more complicated requests than Siri previously could. Apple Music is a good example: Siri can identify very specific groups of songs, create playlists and combine music knowledge with reasoning. It could therefore become one of the biggest reasons to upgrade to iOS 27, potentially changing Siri from a basic voice-command system into a more general way of interacting with the iPhone. However, Siri AI is still in beta. Testing has revealed server failures, incorrect answers, weak reasoning and unexplained limitations, so its usefulness will depend heavily on how much Apple improves reliability before release. Apples approach to AI safety also appears more restrained than some rival chatbots, with Siri designed to avoid excessive flattery, pretending to be human or responding inappropriately to potentially harmful requests. When will Siri AI launch? Apple says iOS 27 arrives in autumn 2026, but Siri AI does not yet have a specific public release date. Apple currently says the new Siri will launch in English later in 2026. Regional Siri AI availability Siri AI will not initially be available on iPhone or iPad in the EU. It will also remain unavailable in China while Apple works through regulatory issues. Siri AI compatibility Some Siri AI features have more demanding hardware requirements than others. In particular, Apples new Siri voice customisation controls require an iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone Air or newer. Apple Intelligence across apps As well as Siri AI, the enhanced Apple Intelligence will also power new AI-powered features in Apples core apps throughout iOS 27. Safari will organise tabs into topics, monitor webpages for changes and even build extensions from natural-language descriptions. Photos is set to gain a new Spatial Reframing edit tools including and an upgraded Clean Up feature. Messages, Mail and Calendar will be able to understand context, suggest actions and create events from simple descriptions. New features coming to apps in iOS 27 iOS 27 brings a mix of major Apple Intelligence upgrades and smaller quality-of-life improvements across Safari, Photos, Messages, AirPods, Passwords, Wallet and other core iPhone apps. Apple is also making iOS more adaptable to different screen sizes and orientations, changes that appear to be laying some of the groundwork for its expected folding iPhone. Safari Safari will automatically group tabs into topics, making related pages easier to find. A new Notify Me feature will monitor webpages and alert you to changes such as price drops or products coming back into stock. Apple is also adding Describe an Extension, which lets users create custom Safari extensions simply by explaining what they want the extension to do. Apple Photos Photos gains significantly more powerful AI editing tools . Spatial Reframing/Reframe can alter the composition and perspective of an existing photo, while Extend generates new image content beyond the original frame when straightening a horizon or changing the aspect ratio. Apple Clean Up has also been improved, with Fast and High Quality modes for removing unwanted objects. High Quality mode can produce considerably more natural results, although more ambitious edits can still introduce distortions or invented details. Photos also adds new categories and the ability to save a frame from a video as a full-resolution photo. The resulting HEIF or JPG retains the videos original resolution, date and location metadata rather than simply creating a screenshot. Camera Apple is developing a customizable Camera interface, although it has not appeared consistently throughout the iOS 27 beta cycle. It could arrive in a later iOS 27 update . Apple is also reportedly developing Apple Reference Image , an authentication system designed to prove that a photo or video was genuinely captured on an iPhone and has not subsequently been manipulated. The feature would use additional metadata and Apples Private Cloud Compute to authenticate an image and assign it a unique ID. Its usefulness may be greatest for journalists, insurers and investigators rather than as a general solution to AI-generated imagery, particularly because authentication would be optional and social networks frequently remove metadata. Messages Foundry Messages gets several useful improvements. You can also decide what the microphone button beside the text field does . Under Settings > Apps > Messages > Show in Text Field, it can be set to Record Audio, Start Dictation or None. Disabling it does not remove either feature: dictation remains available from the keyboard and audio messages remain in the + menu. Voice-message playback controls are easier to access, while Apple Intelligence can suggest actions based on a conversation, such as creating a reminder, making a note or finding relevant photos. Messages will also gain smarter suggested replies that can better reflect the users writing style. Drawing Foundry A new dedicated Drawing app replaces the old hidden handwriting interface. Accessible from the + menu, it uses the familiar pens, colours and drawing controls found in Notes and Markup, with finished drawings sent as images. Mail Mail gains more context-aware smart replies, including responses that can better match the users usual writing style. Apple Intelligence can also surface information from Mail elsewhere in iOS. For example, the Phone app could retrieve a flight confirmation number from an email when you call an airline. Phone A new Call Context feature can surface information that may be useful when calling a business. Apple says the information is selected according to who you are calling rather than by listening to the conversation. For example, calling an airline could cause iOS to surface the relevant flight confirmation from Mail. Birthday reminders can also appear when calling contacts whose birthdays are stored on the iPhone. FaceTime FaceTime gains Dual Capture, allowing the front and rear cameras to be used at the same time during a call. Passwords Passwords in iOS 27 will fix things for you. Apple The Passwords app will continue to warn about weak, reused and compromised credentials, but iOS 27 goes a step further by offering to fix some of them automatically. Using Apple Intelligence, Passwords can visit supported websites, change a vulnerable password and save the replacement credentials. See: Apple got rid of my biggest password headache . The usefulness of the feature will depend on how widely websites are supported and how well it handles obstacles such as two-factor authentication and unusual account-management interfaces. Shortcuts Shortcuts gains Describe a Shortcut, allowing users to create automations simply by explaining what they want to happen. Apple Intelligence will interpret the request and assemble the appropriate actions across supported apps, potentially making Shortcuts significantly easier to use for people unfamiliar with building automations manually. Calendar Calendar can create or modify events from natural-language instructions. Apple says the app can recognise contacts, locations, dates and other event details as users type, reducing the amount of information that needs to be entered manually. Image Playground Image Playground is becoming considerably more powerful. Apple says it can create photorealistic images and lets users modify generated pictures simply by describing the changes they want. Individual objects can also be selected, resized or repositioned. AI-generated images will include a SynthID watermark identifying them as synthetic content. Wallet Wallet can create custom passes from QR codes. Users can add their own fields and information to the pass, and passes automatically sync to Apple Watch. Home app Apple Intelligence comes to the Home app for compatible HomeKit Secure Video cameras. It can group related camera notifications, describe recorded video and highlight clips that appear particularly noteworthy. Maps Apple Maps improves Flyover using higher-quality aerial imagery and Visual Intelligence models. Apple says this produces sharper architectural detail and more realistic rendering of elements such as individual trees. Podcasts Video podcasts become easier to use, with improved controls for switching between watching a podcast and simply listening to it. Fitness Workout summaries have been redesigned to make them easier to share. Users can also hide completed Fitness+ workouts. iOS 27 changes beyond the iPhone CarPlay CarPlay gains an audio scrubber, giving drivers and passengers more direct control when moving through audio tracks and other content. AirPods iOS 27 introduces several new AirPods features . A new Custom EQ lets users independently adjust bass, mids and treble using a simple three-band equalizer under Settings > AirPods > Audio and Routing > Equalizer > Custom. Compatible AirPods also gain improved Precision Finding through Find My, making individual earbuds easier to locate. Some features require both iOS 27 and compatible AirPods firmware. Read How to tune your AirPods with a custom EQ in iOS 27 . Other changes coming with iOS 27 Its not only individual apps that will see changes. Home Screen and landscape mode Apple is making iOS significantly more flexible when dealing with different screen orientations and sizes. More Apple apps now work properly in landscape, including Health, Home, Music, Weather and Watch. Dynamic Island and Live Activities can also adapt to landscape orientation. The Home Screen additionally supports extra-large widgets. These changes could simply improve iPhone usability, but they also appear well suited to Apples expected folding iPhone, which is likely to have an unusual, wider aspect ratio. Evidence within Apples software also includes new foldState and angleDegrees variables that could allow apps to respond to whether a device is folded and at what angle. iPhone Mirroring in macOS 27 has similarly become freely resizable, with Apple apps dynamically rearranging their interfaces as the window changes shape. Liquid Glass refinements Apple Apple says Liquid Glass has been refined for better readability, more uniform refraction and improved contrast. A new slider lets users adjust the look from ultraclear to fully tinted, while updated icons, toolbars, sidebars and window shapes add polish. Ringtones, alarms and alert volume iOS 27 finally separates several sound-volume controls . Instead of one combined Ringtone and Alerts slider, users can independently adjust: Ringtones Alarms and timers Alerts and system sounds The change is optional. Under Settings > Sounds & Haptics, turning off Match Ringtone Volume reveals separate controls. Media and call volume continue to work independently as before. Keyboard iOS 27 introduces a new quick-paste control above the keyboard. It lets you paste recently copied text, images or screenshots without having to long-press inside a text field, making everyday copy-and-paste considerably faster. Apple has also made the Liquid Glass keyboard design more consistent across apps. Privacy and Find My iOS 27 introduces the ability to temporarily pause Find My location sharing without notifying the person with whom the location is normally shared. Recovery and troubleshooting Apple is also expanding the iPhones recovery interface, giving users more options for diagnosing problems and recovering an iPhone without immediately connecting it to another device. System changes and how iOS 27 will make your iPhone faster Alongside the headline AI features, Apple says iOS 27 includes a wide range of under-the-hood improvements designed to make iPhones faster , smoother and more efficient. Apple says apps can launch up to 30% faster, newly taken photos can appear in the Photos library up to 70% faster, and AirDrop transfers can be up to 80% quicker. External drive transfers should also improve, while updates to network performance and the system-wide search index are designed to make connectivity and finding information faster. The company has also reworked core technologies including CPU scheduling, display performance and processing efficiency. These changes should benefit older iPhones in particular, with Apple promising smoother performance and more efficient battery use on devices as old as the iPhone 11 and second-generation iPhone SE. Our testing of the iOS 27 beta supports those claims. On an iPhone 11 Pro Max, Camera launch time fell from 0.98 seconds in iOS 26 to 0.65 seconds in iOS 27, while Maps improved from 3.01 seconds to 1.36 seconds. Everyday use also feels smoother, with more fluid animations, unlocking, Control Center and app transitions. The phone ran cooler during testing too, which could point to improved system efficiency and potentially better battery performance. More broadly, iOS 27 appears focused on refinement rather than simply adding new features. Apple says it has addressed dozens of common user frustrations, while changes such as more adjustable Liquid Glass effects are intended to improve readability and general usability. That focus should make iOS 27 particularly worthwhile for owners of older iPhones, even on models that do not support Siri AI. Those devices still gain performance improvements alongside features such as clipboard tools for the keyboard, independent alarm and timer volume controls, custom Wallet passes, Photos changes, larger widgets and Liquid Glass refinements. Child safety and parental controls Apple There are lots of improvements coming to parental controls, including new time allowances for entertainments, games, and social media, and new schedule tools for different times of day or days of the week. This includes new features like an expansion of the existing ask to buy feature for apps to websites. Before a child can view a new website, theyll have to ask for permission. Ask to Browse : Ask to Browse will expand the current Ask to Buy fetaure to the web. Apple says children will need to request permission before visiting new websites, and parents can review requests in Messages before approving. Communication Safety : Communication Safety will continue to help protect children from viewing or sharing nudity in Messages, FaceTime and other apps. Apple says it will also intervene before children see gore or violent content in shared images and videos. Time Allowances and schedules : Parents will be able to set Time Allowances across categories such as Entertainment, Games and Social Media. Recommendations are based on a childs age combined with guidance from clinical and child development experts. Schedules let parents choose which apps are available at different times or on different days. Redesigned Screen Time : Screen Time will get a redesigned interface with an at-a-glance view of average device usage and most-used apps. Apple says parents can quickly limit or extend access in the moment. Child accounts and family safety : Apple says child accounts remain central to age-appropriate protections. Parents can manage app access, web access, communication permissions and Screen Time settings. Apple says it is working with the American Academy of Pediatrics to adapt its Family Media Plan. Accessibility changes coming in iOS 27 Accessibility features will be smarter and more intuitive in iOS 27: VoiceOver will get richer image descriptions and better understanding of onscreen content. Live Recognition will let users press the Action button to ask questions about their surroundings and receive detailed responses. Voice Control will become more intuitive, allowing users to describe onscreen buttons and controls rather than remembering exact labels or numbers. Accessibility Reader will be able to handle more complex source material and provide summaries and translation. iOS 27 compatibility iPhone 11 is supported by iOS 27. Roman Loyola/IDG According to Apple, iOS 27 supports iPhones back to the iPhone 11 and second-generation iPhone SE, although some Apple Intelligence and Siri AI features require newer hardware. Support for iOS 27 does not mean every device gets every feature. Apple Intelligence requires an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 or later, while the most advanced on-device AI models require an iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone Air. On iPad, Apple Intelligence requires an M1-class model or the A17 Pro iPad mini, while the newest on-device models require an M4 iPad with at least 12GB of RAM. There had been speculation that the iPhone 11 series and iPhone SE 2 would miss out on iOS 27 after leaker Instant Digital claimed on Weibo that the 2019 iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max, along with the 2020 iPhone SE 2, would no longer be supported. That prediction proved incorrect, giving those models at least one more year of software support. However, the iPhone 11 generation is nearing the end of its support life. As we explain in our guide to how long Apple supports iPhones , the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max have already been added to Apples Vintage iPhone list . The iOS 27 compatibility list is: iPhone 17e (launched in 2026 ) iPhone 17 , 17 Pro / 17 Pro Max (launched in 2025 ) iPhone Air (launched in 2025 ) iPhone 16e (launched in 2025 ) iPhone 16 / 16 Plus and iPhone 16 Pro / 16 Pro Max (launched in 2024 ) iPhone 15 / 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro / 15 Pro Max (launched in 2023 ) iPhone 14 / 14 Plus / 14 Pro / 14 Pro Max (launched in 2022 ) iPhone SE 3 (launched in 2022 ) iPhone 13 / 13 mini / 13 Pro / 13 Pro Max (launched in 2021 ) iPhone 12 / 12 mini / 12 Pro / 12 Pro Max (launched in 2020 ) iPhone SE 2 (launched in 2020 ) iPhone 11 / 11 Pro / 11 Pro Max (launched in 2019 ) The main dividing line for Apple Intelligence remains the iPhone 15 Pro generation: the standard iPhone 15 and all older models can run iOS 27, but they do not support Apple Intelligence. FAQ 1. When is iOS 27 coming out? Apple hasnt confirmed exactly when iOS 27 will be available to install, but it usually launches to the general public in September, or at the latest October. Once iOS 27 launches Apple will likely continue beta development to test new features that werent available at launch. 2. Should I install the iOS 27 beta? Installing a beta lets you test new features ahead of release, so you may be keen to install the beta on your iPhone, but before you do beware of the risks. For most users, the recommendation is simple: dont install the beta. Pre-release software can be unstable. Bugs, performance issues, and app incompatibility are common as Apple uses the beta period to identify and fix problems before the final version launches. If, despite our warnings, youre still eager to try the new features, be sure to make a backup of all important information, passwords, and so on. If you want to uninstall the iOS 27 beta read: How to remove an iOS beta from your iPhone. 3. Which iPhones get iOS 27? The iPhone 11 and iPhone SE 2 and newer get iOS 27. However, the new Siri voices feature requires iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro or newer.

ACB arrests junior assistant for accepting Rs 15,000 bribe in Jammu

Jammu, Sep 2: Jammu and Kashmir Anti-Corruption Bureau on Wednesday trapped and arrested a Junior Assistant posted in the office of Assistant Commissioner (General), Jammu for allegedly demanding and accepting bribe of Rs 15,000 for issuing a marriage certificate. Officials said the ACB trapped and arrest a public servant identified as Ajay Kumar, S/o Late Sh. Ram Murti, R/o Village Gango Chack, Gajansoo, Jammu, presently posted as Junior Assistant in the Office of the Assistant Commissioner (General), Jammu, for demanding and accepting a bribe. They said a written complaint was received by the ACB alleging that the accused public servant had demanded a bribe of 20,000 from the complainant for issuance of a Marriage Certificate under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. Following negotiations, the accused allegedly agreed to accept 15,000 as illegal gratification. Unwilling to pay the bribe, the complainant approached the Anti-Corruption Bureau and requested legal action against the accused public servant. Upon receipt of the complaint, the ACB conducted a discreet verification, which established a prima facie case regarding the demand of bribe by the accused public servant. Consequently, FIR No. 11/2026 under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (as amended in 2018), was registered at Police Station ACB Central J&K, Jammu, and investigation was taken up, officials said. During the course of investigation, a trap team was constituted by the ACB. The team laid a successful trap and caught the accused red-handed while demanding and accepting a bribe amount of 15,000 from the complainant. The accused was immediately arrested on the spot, and the bribe money was recovered from his possession in the presence of independent witnesses associated with the trap proceedings. Subsequently, searches were conducted at the residential premises of the accused government employee in the presence of an Executive Magistrate and independent witnesses. Officials added that further investigation into the case is underway.

Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Dock review: Affordable, fast

Macworld At a glance Expert's Rating Pros 12 ports, including four Thunderbolt 5 SSD slot option (UTD58M model) 2.5Gb Ethernet 30W USB-C at front 230W Power Delivery Affordable Cons Upstream port at front Four USB-A but no USB-C Our Verdict As a dual-display dock with a bunch of top-rated ports the Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station is great value for money for 80Gbps speed and power, with a new model offering a speedy SSD slot. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed From $299.99 Best Prices Today: WAVLINK Thunderbolt 5 Dock (UTD58) Retailer Price $219.99 View Deal $269.99 View Deal Wavlink $299.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide What is it? A Thunderbolt 5 MacBook docking station with 12 fast ports plus an option for an SSD slot for extra affordable storage. Who is it for? Users who require the fastest connections and those looking to add speedy storage to their MacBook setup at prices way below Apples own. Who shouldnt buy it? People who dont need fast Thunderbolt connections or require more than two external displays. The Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station is a full docking station with 12 ports, including a full four 80Gbps Thunderbolt 5 and 2.5Gb Ethernet, available at an affordable price. It features a decent rack of high-end ports, and looks fancy, too. There are two versions: the UTD58M ( $349 ) with an integrated fast SSD slot, and the base UTD58 without ( $299 ). Even if your laptop has Thunderbolt 4 (TB4) rather than Thunderbolt 5 (TB5) connectivity, buying the newer faster standard will future proof your purchase. Backwards compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and 4, TB5 features the fastest 80Gbps bandwidth (up to 120Gbps Bandwidth Boost for unidirectional video) plus smart device daisy-chaining and super-fast storage connectivity. Foundry Specs and features: The ports and power you get One upstream Thunderbolt 5 port (80Gbps, 140W) Two downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports (80Gbps, 15W) One downstream Thunderbolt 5 port (80Gbps, 30W) Four USB-A ports (10Gbps) Ethernet (2.5Gb) SSD slot (UTD58M model only) UHS-II SD Card reader (312MBps) UHS-II MicroSD Card reader (312MBps) 3.5mm audio jack 230W power supply As well as its upstream Thunderbolt 5 port that connects to your laptop, there are three downstream TB5 ports that connect to other devices such as monitors or storage drives: one is at the front with the upstream TB5 port, and two are at the back. Only the UTD58M model features the built-in SSD slot. Simon Jary Wavlinks Thunderbolt 4 dock had just one downstream TB4 port as it sacrificed two possible Thunderbolt ports for dedicated HDMI 2.1 ports. With this new model, Wavlink ditches the video ports to give you the choice of which TB ports to use to connect to monitors either via a direct USB-C connection or using USB-C to DisplayPort or USB-C to HDMI adapter cables. This gives you flexibility, and if connecting two screens we expect youll choose the two TB5 ports at the back. The downstream TB5 port at the front can output at 30W, which is easily enough to fast charge an iPhone or iPad. The two TB5 ports at the back can handle 15W each. The upstream TB5 port can output at 140W (PD 3.1), which is what you need to fast-charge the 16-inch MacBook Pro so is good for the whole range. The external power supply can provide up to 230W of power, which is a welcome boost from the companys rather puny 160W TB4 dock. USB : Thunderbolt is backwards compatible with USB-C, which uses the same end connector, so any of the TB ports not being used to connect a monitor can be used for USB-C devices as well as speedy Thunderbolt. There are four speedy 10Gbps USB-A ports. USB-A has a place for legacy devices, but do we need four of them at the expense of a spare USB-C or two? Simon Jary What are this docks storage options? Both versions of the Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station feature fast storage card readers, but only the UTD58M model comes with the built-in SSD slot hidden under its base. This slot supports high-performance PCIe Gen 4 x4 M.2 SSD with a data transfer rate of up to 64Gbps, which should significantly improve read and write speeds with no need for a port-hogging external hard drive enclosure. Data sloggers and pro studios will enjoy the local high-speed caching. At the time of writing you could buy a 1TB NVMe SSD for under $200 , and under $400 for 2TB. 4TB SSDs will set you back more like $700 , but its still cheaper than Apple charges at the point of purchase and gives you a lot more flexibility. Installing your own NVMe SSD (the dock doesnt come with one pre-installed) is simple, using the included screwdriver as shown above. This isnt the only Thunderbolt 5 dock with an integrated SSD slotcheck out the Kensington EQ Pro Thunderbolt 5 Dock for MacBook , Ugreen Maxidok 17-in-1 dock , and Sonnet Echo 21 SuperDock but it is the most affordable of those we have tested. Simon Jary Card readers : Although Apples MacBook Pro laptop includes a 250MBps card reader, having one on the dock is convenient. The Wavlink TB5 dock has two: one SD and one MicroSD, both at the fastest 312MBps. These are nicely placed at the front for easy access. Such cards offer very affordable and extremely portable storage. At the time of writing you could get a 512GB SD card for under $50, although faster cards are pricier. Simon Jary Ethernet: While WiFi is great for phone use, sometimes hooking up to the home or office wired network gives you faster and more stable downloads. Most local area networks (LANs) use 1Gb Ethernet, known as Gigabit Ethernet or 1GbE. Increasingly networks are moving to much faster 2.5GbE, 5GbE or even 10GbE. The Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Dock offers 2.5GbE, which is backwards compatible with 1GbE so even if youre not yet on the faster network speed youll be ready for it when you do. Other ports : At the front theres an anti-theft Kensington Security Slot (also called a K-Slot) and a combo 3.5mm In/Out audio jack. Wavlink docks display capabilities For most people the number one reason for buying a docking station is to easily add external screens to their laptop. Connect a cable from the dock to each monitor and you massively extend your screen real estate. While the dock can support up to three displays for Windows laptops, limitations in Apples setup limit you to just two, unless you install third-party software such as DisplayLink that can give you access to up to five external displays. Five! However, for three or more monitors the dock needs to support DisplayLink, and the Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Dock isnt one of those. See our reviews of the best DisplayLink docks for options, but note that at the time of writing there were no Thunderbolt 5 DisplayLink docks. Your only solution for TB5 plus three displays without DisplayLink is the iVanky FusionDock Max 2 , which has a nifty dual-chip arrangement that uses two of the MacBooks Thunderbolt ports. The Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Dock supports up to two 6K at 60Hz displays for most M1/M2/M3 Pro/Max/ MacBooks or any M4/M5 models. These MacBooks could opt for a single 8K/60Hz display instead. Non-Pro/Max M1/M2/M3 MacBooks support single 4K or 6K monitors. DisplayLink is also useful if your MacBook is running one of those plain M1 or M2 processors as Apple further limits those laptops to a single display. Thats by the by as M1 MacBook owners are unlikely to be in the market for a Thunderbolt 5 dock, and its time we got back to the review. Simon Jary Futuristic design looks great on any desk The Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Dock is a smart aluminum build with some futuristic cooling vents at the top. Underneath are silicone pads that raise the dock off the desk surface for stability and further cooling. On the UTD58M the base is where youll find the SSD slot secured with a single screw. Im not a fan of having the upstream Thunderbolt port at the front of the dock as its the one cable you know will always be in use, so we prefer it hidden around the back. Ideally, given the choice Id have all the Thunderbolt ports at the back and a spare USB-C port at the front for charging. But thats not how Wavlink has laid out its ports. Still, having three downstream ports is more than some docking stations offer and were happy with that. Wavlink has included an on/off button, which is appreciated. Although Apple has made the MacBook clever enough to manage its power in a sensible fashion, I still like to turn off power to the laptops battery as I dont want it constantly kept filled to 100% when Im not using it. A power button means I dont have to yank the cable out to break the power between the dock and the laptop when Ive finished working. WAVLINK Thunderbolt 5 Dock (UTD58) Read our review Price When Reviewed: From $299.99 Best Prices Today: $219.99 at Amazon | $269.99 at Newegg US | $299.99 at Wavlink WAVLINK Thunderbolt 5 Dock with SSD Slot (UTD58M) Price When Reviewed: $349.99 Best Prices Today: $349.99 at Amazon How much do the Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 docks cost? At $299.99 or 239.99 , the base-level Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Dock is priced below most Thunderbolt 5 docks. It shares the sub-$300 price point with the Plugable Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station , and has a similar array of ports, although it has one more and faster USB-A ports. The Wavlink also wins on a higher overall power supply: 230W vs 180W. The Plugable can stand either vertically or lie flat like the Wavlink and sensibly places the upstream TB5 port at the back. The Wavlinks 30W front TB5 port beats the Plugables 15W front TB5 port. Otherwise, they are very similar in terms of tech specs. The $349 / 349 UTD58M model with SSD slot will set you back another $50 plus the cost of whichever capacity and speed NVMe SSD that you can afford. Pay the extra $50 for the UTD58M if you want fast, inexpensive desktop storage built into the dock; otherwise the standard UTD58 offers essentially the same docking features for less. See our roundups of the best Thunderbolt docks for Mac for other comparable solutions. Which Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station should you buy? While its triple-monitor potential is muted on MacsApples limitation, not the docksas a dual-display dock with a bunch of top-rated ports the Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station and an SSD slot option is great value for money for 80Gbps speed and power. The new model with SSD slot offers high-speed data transfer and lower latency for demanding jobs with greater flexibility than you get from Apple when you purchase your Mac.

EXCLUSIVE: From earning Rs. 300 for 1st assignment to voicing Michael Jacksons character in Hindi, voice artiste Ketan Kavva gets candid on the art of dubbing: You have to match actors emotion, timing, expressions and lip movements

When cinema lovers watch a movie in a language they dont understand, they rely on sub-titles. But there is a large section of the audience that relies on dubbed versions of films that are in an alien language for them. The task is carried out by dubbing artistes who are today more known as voice artistes or voice actors. Ketan Kavva is one such artiste who has been in the dubbing field for over 15 years. He has dubbed for various movies and shows. His noteworthy assignment this year involves voicing Jaafar Jacksons character in Michael in Hindi. In other words, he gave voice to the character of the legendary Michael Jackson in the film. Interestingly, he started his journey by dubbing one dialogue in the Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer Chup Chup Ke, for which he earned Rs. 300. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Ketan Kavva opened up about his work and journey so far. What did you keep in mind or what kind of preparations did you do while giving the Hindi voice for the character of Michael Jackson in Michael? Voicing Michael was a very special responsibility for me because he is such an iconic personality. My first priority was to make sure that the Hindi voice felt authentic to the character and, at the same time, remained natural for the Indian audience. I paid a lot of attention to his mannerisms, his pauses, his emotional expressions and the way he delivered his lines. Since I was voicing Jaafar Jackson portraying Michael, I also had to make sure that my performance complemented his performance rather than becoming an imitation of Michael Jackson. After 15 years in dubbing, Ive learned that you cannot just translate the words - you have to understand the character and the emotion behind every line. That was my biggest focus while dubbing Michael. Did you also carry out any research on the real Michael Jackson? Yes, definitely. I went back to Michael Jacksons interviews, performances and videos to understand his personality, his mannerisms and especially the way he spoke. The film is a performance by an actor portraying Michael, so my job was to support that performance in Hindi. The research helped me understand the person behind the character, which ultimately helped me make my dubbing more convincing. How was the experience of carrying out the Gujarati dubbing for Tom Holland in Spider-Man? It has been a very special experience because Tom Hollands Spider-Man has been a character that Ive had the opportunity to voice in Gujarati, including Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home. Gujarati dubbing also comes with its own challenge because you want the language to sound completely natural while retaining the energy, humour and personality of the original performance. For me, it was particularly satisfying because Spider-Man is such a globally loved character, and being able to bring that character to Gujarati-speaking audiences in their own language is something Im very proud of. Apart from voicing human characters, Im also known for specialised voice work involving animal sounds, reactions and character voices. For instance, in Netflixs animated series Sharkdog, I have voiced Sharkdog in Hindi, including his barking sounds, reactions and expressions. In Superpupz, I have also dubbed the parrot character in Hindi. I have also dubbed for Luke in Kalki 2898 AD in Hindi. In gaming, I voiced the character Maxim in Free Fire, and my Hindi voice can be heard in-game itself. I have been the Hindi voice of Robin, the lead character in Teen Titans Go! on Cartoon Network for over 10+ years. Being associated with the character for such a long period has been one of the most memorable parts of my dubbing journey. What is the biggest challenge for a dubbing artiste? I think the biggest challenge is to make people forget that they are watching a dubbed performance. The audience should feel that the character is actually speaking in their language. For that, you have to match the actors emotion, timing, expressions and lip movements, while also making the dialogue sound natural. Sometimes you may have only a few seconds to deliver a line with exactly the right emotion and timing. So, dubbing is not just about having a good voice - it requires acting, observation, timing and a lot of discipline. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ketan Kavva (@ketankavva) Are there more opportunities for dubbing artistes because of the emergence of OTT? Absolutely. OTT has changed the dubbing industry tremendously. Today, audiences are consuming content from different countries and in different languages, so the demand for quality dubbing has increased significantly. Earlier, dubbing was often looked at as something secondary. Today, there is much more awareness about the importance of a good dubbed performance. With films, web series, animation, anime and even games being localised into multiple Indian languages, there are definitely more opportunities for voice artistes. At the same time, the competition has also increased, so artistes need to constantly improve their acting and language skills. You were paid Rs. 300 for your services as a dubbing artiste for Chup Chup Ke, which was your first proper assignment. Can you recall that experience? I remember it very clearly because Rs. 300 may sound like a very small amount today, but at that time it meant something completely different to me. It was my first proper professional dubbing assignment, and honestly, I was just extremely excited to be inside a studio and getting paid to do something I genuinely loved. I dont think I was thinking about how much I was earning. I was thinking, this is what I want to do. Looking back after 15 years, those Rs. 300 feel more valuable than many bigger cheques because it was the beginning of my professional journey. It gave me the confidence that I could actually build a career out of dubbing. You gained an interest in dubbing from your uncle (kaka). He has dubbed for popular shows like Ramayan and Mahabharat in Gujarati. Did you ever hear any interesting stories from him while he was dubbing for these two epic shows? Yes. My uncle was one of the inspirations behind me getting into dubbing. As a child, I used to hear about his work and that naturally created an interest in me. One thing that stayed with me was how different dubbing was in those days. There was no technology or convenience like we have today. The process was much more manual, and artistes had to be extremely precise with their dialogue and timing. Hearing about his experiences on shows like Ramayan and Mahabharat made me realise that voice acting could actually be a profession. In a way, I feel I inherited my interest in dubbing from him, and then over the years I developed my own style and identity as a voice artiste.

Captain Tilak's Unbeaten Fifty Leads South Zone Into Duleep Trophy Final

Captain Tilak Varma: Captain Tilak Varma hit an unbeaten half-century to lead South Zone to a comfortable seven-wicket victory over North Zone in the 2026/27 Duleep Trophy semi-final and secure their place in the title clash, where they will take on East Zone. Set a target of 181 on the final day of the semi-final at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) Ground 2, South Zone completed the chase of 181 with ease, anchored by Varmas unbeaten 51 off 79 balls. The skipper followed up his crucial first-innings marathon of 116 not out with another commanding display of batting, while partnering with Ravichandran Smaran (32 not out) in an unbroken 80-run fourth-wicket stand to seal the win. South Zone will now face the Ishan Kishan-led East Zone in the final starting on September 6 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The clash marks the first time the two sides have met in the tournaments title clash since the 1970/71 season final. North Zone began the day hoping to set a challenging target, but their lower order was quickly unravelled by South Zone pacer MD Nidheesh. The right-arm bowler claimed the final three wickets to finish with figures of 5-56, his 10th five-wicket haul in first-class cricket, to bowl out North Zone out for 286 in their second innings. Souths chase got off to a positive start as opener Ricky Bhui set an aggressive tone early by scoring a crisp 42 to whittle down the target. However, left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Abid Mushtaq briefly dragged North Zone back into contention just before and after lunch. After Gurnoor Brar dismissed Bhui, Mushtaq took out Shaik Rasheed before getting Narayan Jagadeesan stumped on 43 and leave South Zone momentarily wobbling at 102/3. Despite the pressure, Varma stepped up to stabilise the innings once more alongside Smaran, the top run-scorer of the 2025/26 Ranji Trophy season.
