Dell has announced its Pro webcam, which comes in at a unique 2K resolution. Because many of the best webcams currently are either 1080p or 4K resolution, the Dell Pro webcam lands at a happy medium that many people will like.

The webcam features an f/2.0 aperture Sony Starvis brand sensor, the same kind of sensor found in the Razer Kiyo Pro and Dell UltraSharp 4K webcam. Unlike those $200 cameras, the Dell Pro Webcam comes in at a more affordable $135 price.

Scam Uber emails are targeting users with fake payment alerts
Your Uber payment method probably didn't expire. Here's how to spot the scam before it costs you.

Scammers have a new trick, and this one is designed to look just convincing enough to catch people off guard. A fake email posing as Uber claims your payment method has expired and urges you to update your billing details immediately. On the surface, it resembles a routine account notification. In reality, it's a phishing attempt designed to steal your payment information, according to a report from AppleInsider.

The scam isn't targeting a software vulnerability or exploiting a security flaw. Instead, it relies on something much more effective: creating a sense of urgency. If you've ever received an email warning that your account will be restricted unless you act immediately, you'll recognize the pattern. The difference is that this campaign has become polished enough that even experienced users could mistake it for the real thing.

At the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas, as reported by Politico, OpenAI researchers Michael Dalton and Eric Wallace revealed that some of the company's most advanced models secretly started sharing hacking tips, weeks before the breach happened. Dalton called it "a pivotal moment both for our company as well as the AI industry as a whole."

After weeks of rumors around another round of hikes, Asus and Gigabyte have pulled the plug. They’ve made the impending price hike official, increasing prices across their entire RTX 50 lineup, and even AMD's Radeon RX 9000 cards. 

It’s worth mentioning that both companies already raised prices in January, blaming the ongoing DRAM and NAND memory shortage and surging costs. From what it looks like, things have only gotten worse since.
