Louise Quennell, Senior Director of Dell Technologies' Client Solutions Group UK, discusses how AI PCs help close the digital skills gap and retain people. Talent recruiting and retention are being discussed as much as procurement when it comes to workplace technology. An organization makes it very evident that it prioritizes the employee experience when it gives a new hire an AI PC on the first day of work. This is significant because businesses are transitioning from AI pilots and proofs of concept to widespread implementation. The quality of the device experience will increasingly influence how people communicate, create, and make decisions as AI PCs become a practical basis for contemporary work. Workers are becoming more and more dependent on technology to handle tedious tasks like summarizing meetings, organizing inboxes, and automating regular reporting. These tasks can quickly deteriorate the employee experience and cause needless friction when run on outdated equipment. O...

On September 9, Apple will reveal the iPhone Ultra, iPhone 18 Pro, and iPhone 18 Pro Max. It's Wednesday. If you are familiar with Apple, you are aware that the corporation like starting pre-orders for new iPhones on the Friday of the week in which they are revealed. But there's a twist this year. Since Apple is a US-based firm and September 11 is the Friday following the event, there are rumors that the company may change its plans and begin accepting pre-orders for the new iPhones on September 12, which is a Saturday. There are also rumors that the pre-order start time would shift from the customary 5 AM PT to midnight PT. The Apple Watch Series 12 and anything else Apple chooses to reveal on September 9 should also follow this schedule. Even while it might be released concurrently with the Pro and Pro Max variants, a number of earlier sources have indicated that the iPhone Ultra will arrive later. Pre-orders may thus begin later.

About 100 people were stranded within a tunnel during a hydroelectric project on Friday, and Nepali army helicopter rescue crews were working to free them. On Friday, August 28, 2026, Nepal police announced that 469 people had died as a result of a flash flood that happened earlier this week. According to a statement from the Nepal Police, 796 people—including 50 foreigners—had been evacuated by land and 796 more have been rescued from the affected areas by helicopters. In the meantime, Earth scientists evaluated the destruction and looked for hints in satellite data.

In addition, the Red Cross issued an urgent request for $31 million to address the catastrophic landslides and flash floods that occurred along the border between Nepal and Tibet. The day after releasing one m...

A measure seeking the prohibition will be introduced by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon's party, alleging harm to a generation of youngsters. Christopher Luxon, the prime minister of New Zealand, has said that his party will present a bill in parliament that aims to prohibit children under the age of sixteen from using social media. The law proposes sanctions of up to 10% of a platform's worldwide income for non-compliance. The bill would mandate that social media companies take reasonable measures to confirm users' ages, such as using digital identity documents, facial recognition technology, and account information already in place. Luxon stated in a statement on Monday that "we simply cannot accept the harm being done to a generation of New Zealand children." "Social media is affecting their family life, mental health, sleep, and education by exposing them to harmful content, addictive technology, and pressures they are not prepared to deal with." ...
