• Elementor announced Site Planner, a new AI-powered tool
• It allows users to create sitemaps, wireframes, and more
• It is currently free to use

Elementor, one of the best website builders, just announced a new Artificial Intelligence-powered (AI) tool that will help users plan new websites faster than ever before. It is called Site Planner, and it is currently free for everyone to use.

In a brief shared with TechRadar Pro, Elementor explained that Site Planner leverages AI technology to generate the site brief, sitemap, and wireframe - three key pillars to every website’s design process.

The brief also outlines the shared project goals, key messages, and desired outcomes, Elementor explained. “With Site Planner, you can upload your own brief or generate it in several ways with AI helping to guide you toward a strong, professional brief that sets the foundation for building successful websites.”

A sitemap is a hierarchical representation of all the pages within a website, outlining their relationships and structure. It is an essential part since both users, and search engines, use the sitemap to understand and navigate the site effectively. Ultimately, a wireframe is a basic skeletal framework of a website page, showing the placement of key elements like headers, navigation, content areas, and calls to action without visual design elements.

As is standard practice with AI-powered website generators these days, designers can simply talk to the tool to get going. However, Elementor goes a step further, integrating the tool with Google Meet, and allowing AI to capture key details of client discussions in real-real time, and transform them into actionable briefs.

“The notes serve as input to Site Planner for creating a professional brief,” the company explained.

Websites built this way can be hosted either with Elementor, or with a third-party website hosting provider. Elementor notes that the tool is "currently free", suggesting that this may become a premium product once the initial promotional stage ends.

Comment from the expert

AI is the name of the game in the website building space, with practically all of the best website building platforms racing to integrate artificial intelligence into tools and features.

This latest announcement by Elementor is certainly an exciting one, at least for some users. Businesses and individuals creating single sites will likely fail to see any real benefit from using this tools - although it could certainly inject a little fun into an otherwise dull part of the website creation process.

On the other hand, businesses that create multiple websites stand to make the biggest gain from this update, with the new tool helping to drastically reduce the time investment required to complete the website planning stage. This could help Elementor better position itself as one of the best website builders for agencies and freelancers.

Wix recently launched a similar tool, but Elementor's ability to connect with Google Meet makes this a stand-out feature in the website building space.

• Aokzoe is ready to compete with other gaming handhelds this year with the A1 X
• Uses the new AMD Ryzen AI HX 370 APU, which uses the same iGPU as the Z2 Extreme
• There's no confirmation of a release date or pricing

If CES 2025 wasn't enough of a hint that 2025 could be one of the best years for gaming handhelds, then feast your eyes on this: the Aokzoe A1 X has been announced and it looks set to compete with Lenovo's Legion Go 2 and the Asus ROG Ally X, and could outperform the Nintendo Switch 2 based on rumored specs.

As highlighted by VideoCardz, the Aokzoe A1 X will use AMD's new Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU which uses the Radeon 890M integrated GPU (the same present in the upcoming Z2 Extreme chip) - and it also has 16 RDNA 3.5 GPU cores, with an 8-inch 120Hz VRR screen, and a 72.7Whr. While it doesn't quite match up to the Legion Go 2 or the Switch 2's ergonomics with the detachable controllers, it certainly makes up for it with its processing power.

We still haven't seen how AMD's Ryzen Z2 Extreme will perform as there aren't any handheld gaming PCs using this processor - but, the AMD HX 370 APU uses the same integrated GPU with more CPU cores and threads (12 and 24), and it’s already present in the OneXFly F1 Pro and shown to provide great performance in several games like Cyberpunk 2077 and God of War Ragnarok via ETA Prime on YouTube.

This should be a good indication of how the Ryzen Z2 Extreme-powered Legion Go 2 may perform (depending on its final specs as it's still a prototype), compared to the recently-announced Nintendo Switch 2 (if rumored specs are legitimate) - but it's also worth noting that pricing (which hasn't been confirmed nor a release date) will most likely determine these handhelds’ success in the market.

(Image credit: AOKZOE) Is 8 inches the ideal screen size for handheld gaming devices?

With handheld gaming devices like the Acer Nitro Blaze 11, which boasts an 11-inch screen, questions regarding the ideal screen size for these systems must be addressed. As my colleague Christian Guyton stated previously, 11-inch screens on a handheld gaming device is way too large, and I absolutely agree with this sentiment.

Having tested the Lenovo Legion Go (which has an 8.8-inch screen) and spent most of my time with the Asus ROG Ally (uses a 7-inch screen), I can say that 8-inches is the sweet spot. Many of the criticisms that came with the Legion Go from users (and myself included) was that the device is too heavy to hold, especially after long hours of playtime.

Devices like the MSI Claw 8 AI+ and the Lenovo Legion Go S (which both use an 8-inch screen) could provide different results concerning how comfortable they are to hold while gaming, as their designs will vary rather drastically. However, I fully believe 8-inch displays should become the standard for new handhelds, as 7-inches (at least to me) is too small, especially for competitive games. Fortunately, it looks like the majority of upcoming handhelds in 2025 will get the balance right between having a screen big enough to see what's happening in games, without making a device that's too big and bulky to comfortably play on for long.

• Patchstack found two bugs in a WordPress theme and a plugin from InspiryThemes
• The bugs were not addressed in three latest versions
• Users are advised to disable the products or limit new account creation

A popular WordPress theme and plugin have been found carrying vulnerabilities that allow malicious actors to elevate their privileges to admin.

WordPress security researchers Patchstack revealed the theme and plugin in question are called RealHomes and Easy Real Estate, both designed by InspiryThemes, and designed to be used in the real estate industry. The vulnerabilities are tracked as CVE-2024-32444, and CVE-2024-32555, and both have a severity score of 9.8/10 - critical. Both flaws allow malicious actors to elevate their privileges to admin, gaining full control of the WordPress site, and allowing them to install, delete, or modify plugins, tamper with the content, exfiltrate sensitive data, and more.

Citing data from Envanto Market, Patchstack says RealHomes was purchased 32,600 times, suggesting that the attack landscape is quite large.

No response from InspiryThemes

Patchstack warned website admins to disable the resources immediately, since the bugs have been around for months and still have no patch in sight.

The researchers also claim they tried, on multiple occasions, to get in touch with InspiryThemes and warn them about the flaws. The company allegedly did not respond to their inquiries but has, in the meantime, released three new versions for the flawed software. In all three versions, the vulnerabilities were not addressed.

Since they are present in the newest versions as well, Patchstack urged users to disable the theme and plugin immediately, to mitigate potential risk of site takeover. Alternatively, admins could restrict user registration, since the bug cannot be exploited in an environment where new accounts cannot be generated.

Usually, when a bug is made public, threat actors start hunting for vulnerable websites, since they can easily be exploited.

WordPress plugins and themes continue to be one of the most popular targets for cybercriminals, given the website builder platform’s enormous popularity around the world.

• New PowerSchool data, allegedly found in the ransom demand, now puts the number of affected students at 62 million
• More than nine million teachers also affected
• The victims are located in the US, Canada, and elsewhere

The PowerSchool hack seems to have been much worse than originally believed, as new reports now claim more than 62 million students, and nine million teachers, were actually affected by the attack.

In late December 2024, an unidentified threat actor used stolen credentials to access its PowerSchool Student Information System (SIS) platform. From there, they were able to use the “export data manager" customer support tool to exfiltrate “Students” and “Teachers” database tables to a CSV file, which was then stolen.

The information grabbed in this attack included names, and postal addresses, and in some districts, the threat actors also obtained Social Security numbers (SSN), personally identifiable information (PII), medical information, and grades.

Ongoing investigation

It has since been reported the attackers stole the personal data of 62,488,628 students and 9,506,624 teachers, citing both the attacker, and multiple other sources. In total, it was said, 6,505 school districts in the US, Canada, and other countries, were affected. The numbers are allegedly coming from the extortion demand sent to the breached company.

Toronto District School Board, Peel District School Board, and Dallas Independent School District seem to be most impacted.

PowerSchool did not want to comment on the new findings, it was said, especially since its investigation is still ongoing. However, the company did tell the publication that the type of exposed data varies per district. This is because school districts decide what information they will store in the SIS database, based on district, or State policy requirements.

“For this reason, it is expected that less than a quarter of impacted students had their Social Security Number exposed in the breach,” BleepingComputer said, citing the company.

“We care deeply about the students, teachers, and families we serve and are wholeheartedly committed to supporting them. PowerSchool will be offering two years of complimentary identity protection services and two years of complimentary credit monitoring services for all applicable students and educators whose information was involved,” the company told BleepingComputer in a written statement.

With questionable Y2K fashion choices returning in recent years, I suppose it was inevitable – thin phones are back. I'm old enough to remember the original Motorola RAZR V3 in 2004 and just over twenty years on Samsung has tapped the early 2000s design trend with the new Galaxy S25 Edge. Only this time, it doesn't really make sense.

When the Motorola RAZR V3 launched, it was a genuine marvel. People would come down to the store room of the technology magazine I worked at just to look at it. Of course, it had an advantage that the Galaxy S25 Edge doesn't have – phones back then were largely ugly bricks.

But the RAZR V3 also actually fulfilled its design promise. Because of its clamshell design, it was under 14mm when closed – and almost worryingly-slim at its thinnest point. Its aluminum body and keyboard (made from a single sheet of metal) made it different and genuinely desirable.

The Galaxy S25 Edge badly wants to be a modern-day equivalent of the RAZR V3. We know very little about its specs, but rumors suggest it's about 6.4mm thick – which looks about right based on our brief glimpses at the S25 Unpacked launch.

But there's a problem – smartphones now need to have powerful cameras and pesky physics can't make them the same size as the RAZR V3's VGA module. So Samsung's done the only thing it can and stuck a huge protruding camera module on the back.

What's the point of having a 6.4mm thick body with large protruding cameras, if there's no design innovation to make that work? I'm still none the wiser. Samsung says the phone is a "culmination of Samsung’s most-innovative technology" and that this is “packed into a form that is sleek, powerful and unlike anything you’ve seen before".

Unfortunately, the history of phones is littered with examples of designs that we hadn't seen before, but also made no sense (see the new Nokia Design Archive). The main aim of the S25 Edge seems to be bursting the rumored iPhone 17 Air's bubble. But for phones buyers, it seems Samsung also forgot to do anything beyond reanimating the corpse of a design trend that has no real benefit in 2025 – and that Motorola has already successfully reprised in the Motorola Razr Plus.

I'm sure the Galaxy S25 Edge will be a technological marvel, in many ways. It's expected to pack in a 6.7-inch display – and there's a chance it could even be the first Samsung phone to feature a tandem OLED display.

It's also expected to pack in two cameras, which will probably be a main one (perhaps with a 200MP resolution) and an ultra-wide. Samsung could get away without a telephoto camera by going big on the resolution of the main camera and touting its AI-assisted cropping potential. That's not as good as a telephoto, but it could be enough.

These kinds of specs make the RAZR V3 look like the dinosaur it is. But a truly classic phone captures the zeitgeist in a way that goes beyond specs and dimensions – and from what I've seen so far, I doubt that the S25 Edge will achieve that.

Unlike in 2004, the majority of phone buyers use a case with their phone – particularly ones that cost as much as the S25 Edge is likely to (probably somewhere between the S25 and S25 Ultra). Alongside the camera bump, that largely negates the Edge's thinness claims or practical benefits.

Perhaps I'm being unduly harsh, but the Edge also seems to represent the laziest interpretation of phone innovation. At CES 2025, I was enamored by the TCL 60XE, which can switch its screen from color to grayscale with a button-press.

Sure, it's not true E Ink and only works with certain apps, but it was a piece of design that tapped into modern-day phone needs – namely, a need to escape from our always-on apps and a clever way to extend battery life. I didn't see anything at the S25 Unpacked event that beguiled me in the same way – just a tidal wave of AI features and the S25 Edge.

Of course, I'll reserve final judgement on the Edge until we get one in for review. But so far, it looks like nothing more than a reheated design trend that doesn't make much sense in 2025.

• Samsung Galaxy Unpacked – Galaxy S25 Ultra, S25 Edge and 9 things we learned

This super premium graphics card might not be cheap, but it offers a glimpse into Nvidia’s AI-powered future.

Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event yesterday had no shortage of new AI tools, but one little audio tool – Audio Eraser – really stood out for me, and surprisingly I think it also got the biggest cheer from the crowd out of all the new AI tools on show.

At the Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung demoed some truly groundbreaking advancements towards the age of agentic AI, which are the first steps towards using your phone as a true virtual assistant that can perform all the tasks you tell it to without your direct involvement. But while the ability to get your phone to book you a restaurant, add it to your calendar, and invite your friends via text message is a game changer, it feels like it’s asking a lot of people to embrace this right now.

We’re still in the phase where people don’t know exactly why they need AI and have concerns about its safety and adopting AI agents wholesale will involve a significant change to how we live our lives that I’m not sure people are quite ready for.

There’s a lot to worry about in the world at the moment. There are wars, inflation, starvation, and political and economic uncertainty. With this general background of chaos, the idea of giving up even more control over our lives to make them a little bit easier, which is the big promise of AI agents, can make things seem even more uncertain.

Enter Audio Eraser

Contrast this with a simple AI tool like Audio Eraser. Dubbed by Samsung as “A sound studio at your fingertips”, it has one job to do and it does it very well. It listens to your video clips and identifies background sounds like wind, music, nature, noise, voice and crowd, then lets you change the volume of each one so that the person speaking in the video is much easier to hear.

Watch its section in the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event video from 1.48.52.

With Audio Eraser Samsung is using AI to make a complex task simple in such an easy and accessible way. As somebody who records interviews myself, often in noisy environments this would be perfect for me. I love the idea of being able to have complete control of the different types of background noise in the clip.

At the moment I sometimes use Enhance Speech in Adobe’s AI podcast studio to accomplish the task of removing background noise from recordings, but it’s not customizable to the degree that Audio Eraser is, not to mention being able to do it all on the phone is a lot more convenient than having to upload audio clips to be worked on in the cloud.

TechRadar got hands-on with Audio Eraser to try it out, too. You can see Lance Ulanoff our US Editor in Chief and our US Managing Editor of News, Jacob Krol using it at 2.14 in this video:

You can see how quick and easy it is to use. Audio Eraser is a perfect example of how you can get people excited about AI tools without scaring them. It’s not complicated and it fits into your life without you having to change anything. I think it’s no coincidence that it got a bigger audience reaction during its demo at the event than even the most impressive AI tools involving Gemini, Gemini Live, One UI, and Galaxy AI did.

Don’t get me wrong, I think that AI assistants will be truly life-changing when they can seamlessly integrate with absolutely everything on our phones, but we’re not quite there yet, and companies like Samsung, Google, and OpenAI need to find a way to get us there in a way that makes sense with the way we live our lives now.

• A 410MP sensor smashes previous pixel records for full-frame, and is equivalent to a 24K resolution
• It's capable of 410MP stills up to 8fps, or 100MP up to 24fps
• It's designed for surveillance, medicine and industry applications, and unlikely to ever land in a consumer Canon camera

Try this for size – Canon has announced a new 410MP full-frame sensor that smashes any previous records for resolution. It packs 24,592 x 16,704 pixels to be precise, which is roughly equivalent to 24K resolution.

Canon points out in its global announcement that 24K is 12 times the resolution of 8K and 198 times the resolution of HD, and suggests that the unprecedented resolution "enables users to crop any part of the image captured by this sensor and enlarge it significantly while maintaining high resolution".

The newly developed back-illuminated stacked sensor is capable of a super-fast 3,280MP p/s readout speed, meaning it's possible to shoot those 410MP stills at up to 8fps, a rate that can be upped to 24fps by selecting a pixel binning function that reduces resolution to 100MP.

It's a staggering and presumably incredibly pricey sensor that, sadly, is unlikely to ever make it to consumers, even if a trickle-down effect from its tech is possible – Canon has positioned this lens for surveillance, medicine and industry applications, for which the capacity to heavily crop into highly-detailed images is paramount.

Do we need it in the age of upscaling?

In 2024, Sony impressed us with a new 247MP medium-format sensor that offers much more detail than any sensor found in a consumer camera. However, that's far fewer pixels, in a much larger sensor format, and Sony's sensor has now been put in the shade by Canon's newly-developed marvel.

More so, the best-in-class resolution for full-frame cameras available to consumers is 61MP, a sensor utilized by the Leica SL3 and Sony A7R V. This sensor isn't stacked like Canon's, and therefore can't match the readout speed – it's slower and less detailed. Put simply, we've not seen sensor tech like this before.

Recently, Canon has been pushing what's possible with camera tech. We loved its new in-camera upscale function that's capable of increasing image size by 400 percent. Upscaling debuted in the Canon EOS R5 Mark II and Canon EOS R1, and in the case of the EOS R5 Mark II it increases resolution from 45MP to 180MP, with impressive results.

I'm now imagining this upscale tech coupled with Canon's new 410MP sensor, we'd be talking a resolution of 1.64 gigapixels! That potential level of detail is mind blowing, but whether or not there are the necessary lenses with the optical quality to fully support this potential is another matter – and, sadly for my own curiosity, I'll unlikely ever see the new sensor in action.

• Hiscox study finds most firms who pay ransoms don't get their data back in full
• Victims also suffer reputational damage
• Many companies report losing customers and business partners

With ransomware attacks becoming ever more common, a firm’s response can be crucial to recovery and mitigating the damage of the attack.

A new study from Hiscox has revealed a good reason not to pay attackers, finding in the vast majority of cases, even when a ransom is paid, companies don’t get their information back.

The company found only 7% of firms recovered their data in full - and in fact, 1 in 10 of the businesses who pay the ransom still had their data leaked.

Reputations to ransom

Aside from the obvious impacts of financial loss and stress to those involved, ransom attacks also affect reputations of companies who fall victim.

The study found of those who experienced a ransomware attack in the last 12 months, a staggering 47% reported greater difficulty in attracting new customers, and 43% have lost customers.

“Hackers are holding reputations to ransom – and no business is too small to be at risk,” said Alana Muir, Head of Cyber at Hiscox UK.

Most businesses are worried about this too, with 61% of organizations believing that the reputational damage from a cyberattack would ‘significantly damage’ their business.

In 2024, the survey found over a third (38%) of companies that fell victim to a cyberattack also suffered bad publicity resulting in damage to brand reputation, and 21% also lost business partners, showing just how detrimental attacks can be, even beyond the attack itself.

The news comes shortly after the UK Government opened a consultation to consider banning the payment of ransoms by public institutions in the event of a ransomware attack, in efforts to make critical infrastructure a less attractive target, and to disrupt criminal’s sources of income.

• Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2 launches on January 28
• It adds loads of new Zombies content, including new map The Tomb
• This is in addition to a new Wonder Weapon, fresh GobbleGums, and more

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2 launches on January 28 and brings a wealth of new content for Multiplayer. Black Ops 6 Zombies is also receiving some love, with plenty of big new additions.

The most significant is a whole new Zombies map, The Tomb. Set after the events of the Citadelle des Morts map, The Tomb sees protagonists Weaver, Maya, Carver, and Grey venture into a mysterious lost catacomb in the ongoing fight against the Dark Aether.

Throughout the adventure, you will be guided by a comms team of returning favorites S.A.M., Ravenow, Peck, Raptor One, and Strauss. They will be joined by the ghost of Sir Archibald, a deceased explorer from a doomed 1908 expedition into the area.

The map begins at the overground dig site, which soon gives way to ancient Neolithic Catacombs, imposing Tombs, a trap-laden Shrine, and finally a subterranean temple with a doorway to the otherworldly Dark Aether Nexus.

You will have to face off with new enemies, including the Shock Mimic. It can disguise itself as key items, grabbing you for a powerful electric bite if you get too close. The usual legions of hostile zombies have also received a new look, dressed as ancient laborers, worshippers, and guards.

The Tomb will feature a new Wonder Weapon, the Staff of Ice. It creates a powerful freezing magic attack and can even revive downed teammates with a ranged restorative blast. Those who manage to complete the map’s main quest will obtain the X91 Ice-Pick Wonder Weapon Skin for the staff in addition to 5,000 XP and a unique Calling Card.

Death Perception, a perk machine from Black Ops 4, is also returning. As before it lets you see enemies through walls, but has been augmented by “new abilities” for Black Ops 6. Three new GobbleGums are on the way too. Dead Drop dramatically increases the drop rates for salvage and equipment, while Modified Chaos reduces Ammo Mod cooldowns. Finally, there’s Quacknarok - which doesn’t do anything other than give every zombie a hilarious rubber duck pool lounger.

Directed Mode, which guides you through the events of the Main Quest, is expected to launch alongside the Season 2 mid-season update.

Want to give Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 a try? The game is available now for PC, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4.

• Nvidia has commanding lead over rivals in latest Adobe After Effects benchmarks
• Even lower-performance Nvidia GPUs outpace Intel and AMD cards
• But to Apple's credit, the M3 Max pulls ahead in 2D significantly despite its laptop form factor

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 40-Series GPUs has shown off some significant advantages when it comes to dealing with 3D workflows over comparable Intel and AMD cards, new figures have claimed.

The latest Puget Systems After Effects benchmarks say Nvidia’s flagship GeForce RTX 4090 delivered up to 20 times the performance of Apple’s MacBook Pro M3 Max in 3D tasks; reflecting the card's technical design focus on GPU-intensive workloads.

The 4090, equipped with 24GB of GDDR6X memory and 16,384 CUDA cores, nearly doubles the performance of its own mid-range RTX 4060 in the Advanced 3D tests that utilize Adobe’s Advanced 3D rendering engine which is heavily dependent on GPU acceleration.

Nvidia RTX 4090 outperforms its rivals

Comparatively, the RTX 4060, featuring 8GB of GDDR6 memory and 3,072 CUDA cores, outpaces AMD’s flagship Radeon RX 7900 XTX, which boasts 24GB of GDDR6 memory and 6,144 stream processors.

Despite its superior memory capacity, the Radeon GPU trails the RTX 4060 by 25% in overall 3D performance.

Intel’s Arc GPUs, such as the Arc B580 with 12GB of VRAM and 3,456 cores also fall short of Nvidia’s mid-range offerings, trailing the RTX 4060 by approximately 22%.

Apple’s M3 Max, equipped with 40 GPU cores, performs roughly 10 times slower than the RTX 4060 in GPU-accelerated 3D tasks.

However, while Nvidia leads in 3D rendering, Apple’s M3 Max performs well in 2D workflows due to its CPU efficiencies. The MacBook Pro excels in projects emphasizing 2D layers and effects, where GPU performance plays a secondary role. Nevertheless, for CPU-dependent tracking tasks, Nvidia and Apple systems perform similarly.

Nvidia owes its dominance in After Effects 3D workflows to its advanced GPU architecture and software integration. The RTX 4090, for instance, comes with technologies like the Ada Lovelace architecture and CUDA framework which optimizes 3D GPU performance.

Netflix has just dropped its February 2025 schedule, and as a follow-up to its first streaming list of the year, I can't say that it packs a punch quite like what we saw last month. However, there's still a number of movies and shows that have caught my eye that I'm confident will find a place among the best Netflix movies and the best Netflix shows.

Despite it being on the sparse end this month, we still think that Netflix is one of the best streaming services out there, especially if you're big into reality TV. This month in particular, Netflix is doubling down in its reality TV content with the premiere of Love Is Blind season 8, and the brand new competition reality show Celebrity Bear Hunt. Reality TV aside, we also shelved Netflix's upcoming thriller series Apple Cider Vinegar as one of one-to-watch titles which will land on February 6.

On the upside, with February being as short as it is, it won't be much longer before Netflix switches up its catalog of entertainment again. In that case, I'm not dwelling on its slightly underwhelming list too much, and I'm hoping that March will be inundated with even more titles to welcome the spring.
