• The Ninja Luxe Café Pro is an new version of Ninja's popular coffee maker
• It has a lever-operated tamper to apply even pressure and prevent mess
• It's considerably more expensive than the original Ninja Luxe Café

Ninja has launched a new version of its best coffee maker, the Ninja Luxe Café, with a lever-operated tamping system that takes the guesswork out of creating a perfectly compressed puck of espresso.

The Ninja Luxe Café is one of the best espresso machines we've tested, and our reviewer awarded it four and a half stars out of five thanks to its smart design, guided weight-based dosing system, handy suggested grind sizes, and very reasonable price.

The new Ninja Luxe Café Pro goes one step further, taking the guesswork and mess out of tamping your coffee as well. With the new machine, there's no need to move a portafilter full of loose grounds and risk spilling them all over your work surface.

Instead, you leave it in place under the grinder and pull down a manual lever to compress it into a perfect puck.

This extra feature does increase the price quite considerably though; the Ninja Luxe Café Pro has a list price of $699.99 / £699.99 (about AU$1,100) compared to $549.99 / £549.99 (about AU$850) for the original model without the tamping lever.

That's a relatively high price, even for one of the best coffee makers, but the Ninja Luxe Café doesn't just brew espresso. It's a multi-functional machine that can also prepare tasty filter coffee, plus refreshing cold brew in a fraction of the time it would take to infuse the traditional way.

At the time of writing, the Ninja Luxe Café pro is available direct from Ninja in the US, but is out of stock in the UK.

• Apple has improved transfer speeds when switching from Android to iOS
• The speed boost affects wired connections, not those over Wi-Fi
• The update might placate users who have faced long transfer times

If there’s one thing Apple would love more than anything, it’s for users of the best Android phones to switch to iOS. But Apple isn’t just crossing its fingers and relying on wishful thinking – it has a dedicated Move to iOS app for Android users to swiftly transfer their data to a new phone. And it’s just made a major change that could make the process a whole lot easier.

That alteration affects data transfer speeds, which have now been made faster if you’re using a USB-C to USB-C cable or one that runs from USB-C to Lightning. That should help ensure switchers can get up and running faster than ever, without needing to hang around to be able to use their new device.

Apple didn’t specify how much faster these transfer speeds will now be on the Move to iOS app’s download page. Yet the fact that Apple decided to point this change out in the app’s release notes suggests that it’s not merely a minor speed boost.

Browse through the app’s reviews on the Google Play Store and you’ll see that data transfer speed has been a serious issue for numerous users. People have complained about the process taking hours and even timing out if it takes too long, so any improvement to transfer times should be welcomed.

This is not the only change that has come to the latest Move to iOS app update. The release notes also explain that “iOS tips are now displayed during migration,” while “call history and Dual SIM labels are now migrated” as well.

Elsewhere, your Android voice recordings will be automatically added to either the Voice Memos or Files apps on iOS (depending on their format), and there’s expanded support for languages such as Bangla, Gujarati, Kannada, and more.

Finally, while Apple has improved the data transfer speeds for wired connections, it has also added the ability to connect an Android and iOS device over Wi-Fi or a personal hotspot. While transfers using those methods won’t be as fast as over a wired connection, you now have a few more options.

So, if you’re about to make the switch from Android to iOS, you shouldn’t have to wait around as long for your new phone to be set up. That sounds like good news whichever way you look at it.

• Ticket To Cash, a ticket reselling website, kept an open database
• It held more than 500,000 customer records
• Among the records were partial credit card data, names, and more

Ticket reselling platform Ticket To Cash kept an unprotected database online, exposing sensitive information on hundreds of thousands of customers, experts have warned.

The database was discovered by cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler, who managed to get in touch with the company and get the database locked down, sharing the details withVPNMentor.

Ticket To Cash is a resale service site, using a network of thousands of partner resale sites to help users sell their concert, sports, and other tickets quickly.

Get Keeper Personal for just $1.67/month, Keeper Family for just $3.54/month, and Keeper Business for just $7/month

​Keeper is a cybersecurity platform primarily known for its password manager and digital vault, designed to help individuals, families, and businesses securely store and manage passwords, sensitive files, and other private data.

It uses zero-knowledge encryption and offers features like two-factor authentication, dark web monitoring, secure file storage, and breach alerts to protect against cyber threats.

Preferred partner (What does this mean?)View Deal

Partial credit card data

According to Fowler, it kept a non-password-protected, non-encrypted database with 520,054 records, totaling 200 GB in size.

The name of the database indicated that it contained customer inventory files in PDF, JPG, PNG, and JSON formats, Fowler explained.

We don’t know how many of these documents belonged to a single person, therefore it’s difficult to determine how many people are affected. We can assume that it’s no more than 520,000.

A “limited sampling” of the exposed documents determined that the database held “thousands” of concert and live event tickets, proof of ticket transfers, user-submitted screenshots of receipts, and other sensitive files.

Some of the documents even contained parts of people’s credit cards, as well as full names, email addresses, and postal addresses.

This type of information is crucial for cybercriminals, as it allows them to engage in targeted phishing, identity theft, and possibly even wire fraud.

Since Fowler did not say when the database was generated, if you’ve ever used Ticket To Cash before, you should keep a close eye on your banking statements and watch for potentially suspicious transactions.

Fowler said he reached out to Ticket To Cash, but it seems the company never responded. It did, after the second attempt, lock the database down. We don’t know for how long it remained open, or if any threat actors accessed it in the meantime.

• UNA Watch is a new sustainable smartwatch
• The Edinburgh-based company just closed its Kickstarter campaign
• More than 1,200 people have backed its first watch to the tune of $330,000, including a host of potential developers

Sustainable wearable outfit UNA Watch has secured more than $330,000 in funding from its Kickstarter campaign in just over four weeks, ahead of the planned launch of its first watch.

As we've previously reported, UNA Watch is a sustainable wearable with a unique, modular design, and features GPS, health monitoring, and 10-day battery life.

The USP? It can be put together like Lego, and its modular design means it's both repairable and upgradeable in a way that owners of the best Apple Watch models can only dream of.

Edinburgh-based UNA Watch has now closed its Kickstarter, having garnered support from 1,249 backers and raised a cool £251,276 (about $335,000).

Developers flock to UNA Watch

As well as proving popular with smartwatch fans, the UNA Watch has also generated excitement among developers, who are flocking to be first in line to buy one. UNA Watch offers both a Software Development Kit (SDK) and a Hardware Development Kit (HDK), which will let developers code their own apps and create new sensors and hardware modules.

It's a similar open-source approach to the one that made Pebble popular back in the day, and UNA has confirmed to TechRadar that one in six backers has bought the company's Development tool, suggesting that a high percentage of backers are developers.

UNA is targeting an estimated delivery date of August 2025 for its first Kickstarter packages.

• Former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida knew the cost of games would increase "sooner or later"
• Yoshida says inflation and production costs are the cause, so more expensive games were inevitable
• He doesn't know if Rockstar Games would increase the price of Grand Theft Auto 6, but thinks "a balance must be found between production costs and game prices"

Former Sony Interactive Entertainment executive Shuhei Yoshida has said that the recent rise in the cost of games "was going to happen sooner or later" due to inflation and production costs.

In a new interview with PlayStation Inside, Yoshida was asked about the increase in game prices, specifically regarding Nintendo Switch 2 games, like Mario Kart World, which will now cost upwards of $80, and if he thinks this will affect other studios and publishers.

The ex-PlayStation boss explained that he predicted the rise in prices would happen eventually, mainly due to inflation and the cost of resources, but didn't think Nintendo would be the one to kick it off.

"I think it was going to happen sooner or later, maybe not from Nintendo, but it was going to happen eventually," said Yoshida. "We live in contrasting times, where inflation is real and significant, but people expect games that are ever more ambitious and therefore expensive to develop to cost the same. It’s an impossible equation. Everything in video games today is more advanced and more technologically demanding than ever before, and therefore requires more resources.

"Each publisher or manufacturer sets the price of its games, of course, but in the end the heart of the matter lies in production costs. And that’s why industry actors are so keen to diversify their revenues, in order to continue producing the AAA games that the public buys before anything else."

Just last week, Microsoft raised the prices of its Xbox consoles and accessories, with some first-party games expected to release at $80 later this year. Elsewhere, Sony recently upped the prices of its PS5 consoles.

Although there is a very obvious shift happening within the industry, Yoshida doesn't know if studios like Rockstar Games would consider setting the price of Grand Theft Auto 6 higher, but that "a balance must be found between production costs and game prices".

"So I don’t know if Rockstar will jump at the chance to set the price of GTA 6 at 90 euros or more, to speak with your currency, but the situation is this. And we could even add subscription platforms and games as a service, which, while providing huge revenues in their own right, also help to finance AAA down the line.

"In any case, a balance must be found between production costs and game prices. GTA 6 will obviously be a case in point, but if you take the example of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the game is just as phenomenal visually, despite the fact that the team only has around thirty people. This is one of the ways forward, I think, because you can make excellent games with tighter teams and budgets without compromising quality."

• The foldable iPhone will reportedly have a smaller crease than other foldable phones
• It's also said to have a higher-quality hinge, likely leading to improved durability
• And it could launch as part of the iPhone 18 series

Apple is entering the foldable phone market very late in the day, as while Samsung is expected to launch the seventh generation of its Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip models this year, Apple’s first foldable probably won’t land until 2026. But when it does, it could come with some key advantages.

According to Bloomberg's resident Apple expert Mark Gurman (via GSMArena), the foldable iPhone will have two major advantages over other foldable phones, with the first of these being a “nearly invisible” crease in the foldable screen.

While Samsung and other foldable phone makers have been gradually decreasing the prominence of the crease in their phones – which appears where the display folds in the middle – they still haven’t eradicated it entirely, and it sounds like the foldable iPhone may come close to doing so.

Secondly, Gurman claims that the foldable iPhone will have a "much higher-quality hinge" than current foldables. He doesn’t expand on that tip, but we’ve previously heard that the phone's hinge might use liquid metal, which could improve durability and help reduce the size of the crease.

We’re not sure how much of a selling point a more durable hinge will really be, though it certainly sounds desirable. But a foldable phone with little to no crease in the display is likely to prove popular, especially one with Apple branding.

What's more, the foldable iPhone could be positioned as the highest-end iPhone, rather than as part of a separate smartphone series with "a niche alternative design," according to Gurman.

That sounds reminiscent of how Apple has now positioned its mid-range models as part of the main line; it recently ditched the ‘SE’ branding and instead released an iPhone 16e. So, if the foldable iPhone does land next year, it may well include ‘iPhone 18’ in its name.

We still probably have over a year to wait, though, so while Gurman has a great track record for Apple information, we’d still take all of this with a pinch of salt.

A new era of AI is emerging and it’s more autonomous than ever before. Agentic AI is set to transform the way people interact with technology, marking a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence.

Unlike generative AI (GenAI), agentic AI is proactive, and can solve complex problems and make decisions autonomously without human oversight. While these capabilities will prove hugely beneficial for enterprises, it is highly likely that ransomware groups will also look to exploit agentic AI to execute more effective attacks with much greater efficiency, at scale.

Security professionals should take note because today’s emerging agentic AI models are set to revolutionize cybercriminal tactics and supercharge the ransomware exploits of bad actors. With that in mind, let’s take a look at how security teams should prepare for the floodgate of possibilities on the horizon.

Agentic AI – what’s different?

Back in 2022, the release of ChatGPT ignited concerns among security experts who postulated that threat actors could leverage generative AI to do bad things. Fortunately, these predictions about an AI security apocalypse proved unfounded. Instead, cybercriminals used gen AI tools to streamline tasks such as generating and debugging malware code and industrializing the creation of sophisticated phishing content.

It turned out that while gen AI’s coding and scripting abilities boosted some aspects of their activities, it offered cyber-attackers limited incremental capabilities when it came to how they undertook some key malicious tasks. However, the emergence of agentic AI in late 2024 marks a whole new era in AI development and potentially changes the rules of the game where ransomware is concerned.

Designed to autonomously make decisions, problem solve, and act dynamically in real-time, agentic AI systems are capable of independently pursuing complex goals with limited human supervision. Context-aware, dynamic, and highly adaptable to changing environments and events, agentic AI does not rely on human guidance to determine which potential actions to take. It goes ahead and acts.

These new incremental abilities have the potential to transform how ransomware gangs overcome the technical and operational bottlenecks that, until now, have restricted their ability to launch successful attacks at scale.

The current state of play: how ransomware gangs operate

To reduce their workloads, today’s cyber threat actors will use specialist independent Initial Access Brokers (IABs) to find targets and secure a foothold in target networks. Having outsourced infiltration and paid an IAB for this access, they are able to focus on the task of identifying which assets to encrypt and the best way to deliver the malware payload and conduct the extortion.

This is not as straightforward as it sounds. It requires a lot of skill and manpower to move laterally around the network, determine the best way to pivot and get from A to B, and identify where the organization's most valuable data is located - all without being detected.

Today, this is a highly manual process that is difficult for humans to do reliably and efficiently. Indeed, many ransomware attacks are abandoned mid execution either due to human errors or mistakes that trigger antivirus software or data detection and response tools, or because it is simply too challenging to identify a potential payload trove of high value data.

The emergence of agentic AI, however, closes the skills gap for threat actors. As well as making it easier to evade detection and launch attacks, it could also scale up the number and speed at which these attacks are executed.

Making life easier for ransomware groups

In the not too distant future, ransomware groups could be using agentic AI to boost up their ‘manpower’ and handle all the heavy lifting around identifying which assets to target and the best way to compromise these.

Whether it is identifying exploitation paths of least resistance, finding ways to circumvent firewalls and EDR tools, researching and validating what data is located where, or determining which data presents the most promising target, these agents could decide the optimal point at which to execute the attack.

In other words, agentic AI will be able to determine a target and figure out the most effective and efficient way to compromise it. Plus, it will automate every aspect of the attack execution process, independently handling all fetching and enumeration tasks as it navigates its way through the network and covers its tracks as it goes.

In addition to lowering the skills and resource bar for threat actors, agentic AI reduces the time it takes to plan and execute a highly sophisticated attack to a matter of minutes - all of which will make it difficult for security professionals to detect and shut down threats. Ransomware gangs using agentic AI will also be able to improve the effectiveness of their attacks, and will acquire the automated resources they need to conduct multiple attacks in parallel.

In summary, AI agents will make ransomware operations faster and more reliable. Requiring little or no human input, agentic AI can work in a predictable and highly efficient manner and tell ransomware gangs exactly where to focus and what to focus on.

Looking ahead: evaluating the impact

Cybercriminals have proven adept at leveraging GenAI to streamline certain aspects of the ransomware attack cycle and improve their productivity in these areas. In recent years the number of ransomware gangs using AI to hone the production of malware has grown significantly. The emergence of AI agents that can reason, plan and act autonomously is set to make ransomware attacks more scalable, more effective, and more efficient to undertake, with attack cycles reducing from weeks to near real-time.

While agentic AI promises to automate, refine, and power up how ransomware gangs compromise targets on an industrial scale, security experts also predict that autonomous AI agents are set to become a critical defense tool for cyber security teams. By delegating intrusion detection and network monitoring and analysis tasks to agentic AI, security teams can up their game when it comes to detecting and shutting down cyber threats. It should also be possible to use AI agents to simulate assets that will tempt and misdirect hackers into connecting their malware and generating an intrusion alert.

In terms of timelines, agentic AI is still under development and we are unlikely to see it being widely leveraged by ransomware gangs for a few years yet. This gives cyber security defenders ample opportunity to get one step ahead and develop the agentic AI tools and algorithms that will be needed to stop them.

Making proactive preparations

While organizations don’t need to worry about the immediate impacts from agentic AI right now, they should keep a finger on the pulse when it comes to its ongoing development and use. For security teams, keeping up with this fast evolving threat landscape depends on finding ways to integrate AI agents into their own defense techniques.

One thing is for sure: where agentic AI is concerned the race is on. It remains to be seen who will get there first – attack or defense.

• B&O A1 3rd Gen promises more bass in the same design
• Up to 24 hours of battery life, and pairing with other A1 models
• $349 / £299 is a price hike over the previous model

Bang & Olufsen has announced the Beosound A1 3rd Gen, which is the new version of B&O's mid-tier portable Bluetooth speaker. The new model promises more powerful sound, a few new features, and longer battery life, and comes at a higher price than its predecessor, even before you take discounts on the old model into account.

I've been a fan of the B&O A1 2nd Gen since its release in 2020 – it's the Bluetooth speaker I use at home, and I love it for its stylish aluminum design, more full sound than other mid-size Bluetooth speakers, and generous battery life that means it's always ready to go even if it's been forgotten for a season.

According to B&O, the A1 3rd Gen has "the largest woofer in its class", meaning more powerful and "deeper" bass output (with a claimed bass SPL of 64dB, which is 2dB higher than the 2nd Gen). This sounds great to me, assuming it's well-balanced with the mids and treble – as I mentioned above, the real trick of the B&O A1 2nd Gen is that it managed a broader and more well-rounded sound than similar offerings from JBL and Sonos.

The battery life has increased from 18 hours to 24 hours, which is really great for any of the best Bluetooth speakers, let alone a smaller option – even the five-star JBL Flip 7 is limited to 16 hours max with its battery extension feature active.

(Image credit: Bang & Olufsen)

Upgrades other than these are more subtle, though. The wireless connection is Bluetooth 5.1, which seems a little behind the times – so many new Bluetooth speakers today are arriving with newer versions that include Auracast support for audio sharing across multiple speakers.

B&O hasn't gone for that kind of option, but it can be used in a stereo pair with either another A1 3rd Gen, or an A1 2nd Gen (I obviously have my eye on that feature…).

The Alexa voice assistant support of the 2nd Gen seems to have been dropped, but there is still a mic – you can use it as a speakerphone. You have Microsoft Swift Pair and Google Fast Pair for easily connecting to those devices.

(Image credit: Bang & Olufsen)

The design looks largely unchanged from the previous model, which is alright by me – I really like the 'button' shape, and the clean metal finish. It's not quite as pocketable as the JBL Flip 7, but it's fairly thin and can slip into a bag easily enough anyway.

As before, it comes with a strap attached and is IP67 rated, so it can stand up to a light dunking in water or roaming among the sand like the best waterproof speakers.

B&O says this is also the first ever Bluetooth speaker to be "Cradle to Cradle Certified (Bronze Level)", meaning that it's made with sustainable practices in mind, and has modularity in the design that makes it repairable in the future – including a battery that can be replaced in a B&O service center.

There are three colors: Natural Aluminium, Honey Tone, and Eucalyptus Green. I don't like the latter as much as the beautiful Forest Green finish B&O used on the A1 2nd Gen and the B&O Explore – which is maybe my favorite finish on any tech product ever – but it's still very nice, as is the Honey Tone.

The stumbling block here is really the price. At $349 / £299, it's more expensive than the $299 / £259 official price of the A1 2nd Gen – but that model also regularly falls to around £180/$200, and it's only at the cheaper price that I generally recommend people buy it.

At twice the price of the JBL Flip 7, it's going to have to work hard to feel worth it. But hey, the last version managed it for me.

Nobody that I know likes clutter. That could be in their house, in their office, in their vehicle, or on their desk. My workspace is one of the few things I have autonomous control over, meaning I can keep it exactly how I want it (and not have it messed with by my kids, co-workers, etc.) I usually run a laptop, but when I get the opportunity to run desktop units, I prefer them to be the smaller platform size because then I can hide them somewhere in my workstation rather than have a giant tower on, under, or around my desk.

The Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny is a mini PC workstation that can be tucked away and hidden out of sight, making for an incredibly smooth workspace. On top of the size benefit, the P3 Tiny is also a decently powerful machine, making it a potential secret powerhouse for some.

One of the secrets of a small machine in the business world is for workstations you don't want to see, for example, digital signage, front desks, doctors' offices, classroom digital setups, projectors, and so on. They're great if used the right way, and if they are powerful enough. And this one might be one of the best mini PC workstations for that.

Lenovo is one of those brands with consistent unboxing for their gear. Granted, they are not recognized worldwide for their unboxing experience, like Apple, but they have a decent unboxing experience every time. Nothing will be misplaced, damaged, or in weird boxes in boxes; it just makes sense.

I noticed right away that there is a VESA mount included, making it super easy to do exactly what I would do with this computer and mount it away. For a lot of mini PCs, the goal is to keep it tucked away out of sight as much as possible.

(Image credit: Collin Probst // Future)

Right off the bat, I want to compare this TechRadar's top mini computer, the Mac mini. Compared to the older generations, anything before the M4, it's comparable. It has a more squared-off shape, but it's similar in size. Now, if you compare it to the new M4 Mac mini, the P3 Tiny does not look so tiny, but compared to the vast majority of desktop PCs, this computer holds to its name consistently.

Outside of just sizing, the ThinkStation P3 Tiny has great ports overall and is relatively robust for its size. The port layout lends itself to easy access, and it's great to see that Lenovo has included both HDMI and DisplayPort on the back. Sadly, there is no Thunderbolt or USB4 support, but the more I think about it, the less it is necessary for a business computer like this to have those high-speed transfers, so maybe that's not a massive loss.

Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny: Design & build quality Specs

The P3 Tiny has a modular design, allowing for component upgrades and customization to fit each user's needs.

(Image credit: Collin Probst // Future) Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny: In use

My team and I tested this machine for the last few weeks and were impressed. It handled benchmarking software like UL Procyon and others without an issue, it can support up to six displays with the proper discrete GPU configuration, it can be VESA mounted behind a display, it has great ports, and it can run Windows 11 Pro allowing for super easy native remote desktop (if not, Google Chrome Remote Desktop, Teamviewer, or others) making this an excellent computer for AVL systems, tucking the laptop away and running a large display for signage, projectors, customer interfaces, and so on. This machine can run up to six displays with discrete GPU configurations.

All around, this machine is impressive for its size. Consider the ThinkStation P3 Tiny for a front desk setup, a doctor's office, a display system, a minimalist workstation, and many more. This computer can get 90% of jobs done well, without much frustration or issue.

(Image credit: Collin Probst // Future) Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny: Final verdict

The Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny is an impressive compact workstation with enough power, ports, and performance to shine in most scenarios. It's excellent for those who need to save on space while maximizing their output (both workload and visual). If you're looking for a computer that can tuck away and be out of sight or help expand what you can see with up to six outputs, consider the Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny for your next purchase.
