If your desk setup has been held back by a dock that cannot properly handle two 4K monitors, Ugreen has introduced a new 11-in-1 USB4 docking station designed to turn your laptop into a serious desktop setup. It combines high-refresh displays, fast data transfer, networking, memory card support, and high-power charging in a slim horizontal design (via NotebookCheck).

Dual 4K monitors without sacrificing refresh rate

This is where the dock actually stands out. It can drive a single 4K display at a smooth 240Hz, or run two separate 4K monitors simultaneously at 120Hz each in extended mode, and it works across both Windows machines and compatible MacBooks, including M4 and M5 models.

For comparison, Anker’s similarly priced 10-in-1 hub tops out at dual 1440p when running 240Hz, or drops all the way to 60Hz once you connect two 4K screens. Ugreen clearly built this dock around people who refuse to compromise on either resolution or smoothness.

Ugreen’s USB4 Docking Station: ports, power delivery, and design

The dock crams in 11 total ports. Up front, you’ll find an audio combo jack, SD and microSD card slots, plus a 10 Gbps USB-C port and a matching 10 Gbps USB-A port. Flip it around, and there’s a 20 Gbps downstream USB4 port, HDMI 2.1, two more USB-A ports at 5 Gbps, a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet jack, and a 140W USB-C power input.

That input translates to up to 115W delivered straight to your laptop, with an additional 15W available through the downstream port for charging a phone or similar device. The whole thing connects through a built-in 2.6-foot USB4 cable offering 40 Gbps of bandwidth, and its flat, horizontal shape is specifically designed to tuck neatly under a monitor rather than stick up awkwardly beside it.

It’s available on Amazon, priced at $149.99 in the US and £109.99 in the UK. The dock works with macOS and Windows, but you’ll need a USB4, Thunderbolt 4, or Thunderbolt 5 port on your laptop to unlock everything it offers.

AI agents are acting like rogues and causing a huge headache for US banks
US banks block AI agents over fears they could make unauthorised financial moves

US banks are facing a new kind of digital headache: artificial intelligence agents attempting to access customer accounts and perform actions that may go beyond what users intended. As AI tools become more capable of navigating websites and carrying out tasks independently, financial institutions are scrambling to prevent them from crossing security boundaries.

According to a report published by Axios on October 22, major US banks have detected third-party AI agents operating inside customer accounts without authorisation. Some agents reportedly appeared to attempt actions independently of user instructions. The banks involved have not publicly detailed every incident, and there is no evidence that the reported activity resulted in widespread theft of customer funds.

AI can generate all kinds of pretty pictures, but getting it to spell a headline correctly or keep a poster's layout intact can be another story. Canva wants to fix that with Canva Craft, its first in-house image generation model. Rather than focusing primarily on photographs, Craft is designed around the posters, presentations, social media graphics, and other visual content people actually create. The goal is simple: spend less time fixing AI's mistakes and more time making something useful.

Mori might be the cutest AI companion robot yet, and it reacts to you like a pet
The Pokémon-like companion can blink, dance, act shy, and respond to what is happening around it.
OKA Mori The Nature Companion AI Home Robot

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
