BenQ launches ScreenBar Halo 2 in India for smarter workspace lighting

BenQ has released the ScreenBar Halo 2 in India, a redesigned monitor light engineered to improve eye comfort and workspace visibility for professionals and creators. Developed over four years, the Halo 2 uses a dual-light system with a new triple-curvature backlight that delivers more than four times the coverage of the previous model. This design reduces contrast around the display, helping prevent eye fatigue during long work sessions.

The light uses BenQ’s ASYM-Light technology, which directs illumination onto the desk at an 18-degree cut-off angle, eliminating screen glare. Research conducted with the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology shaped the optimal lighting ratio used in the Halo 2.

A new wireless control dial allows precise brightness and temperature adjustments, while the redesigned zinc-alloy clamp supports thin and curved monitors without applying pressure. Smart features include motion detection, auto-dimming and memory presets.

Firefox’s new AI-powered Window aims to reinvent how we browse the web

Mozilla is giving Firefox its boldest upgrade in years with the introduction of AI Window, a built-in assistant that lives directly inside the browser. Instead of relying on third-party extensions or cloud plugins, AI Window runs as a native tool designed to summarize pages, answer questions and help users navigate the web without leaving their current tab.

The feature sits in a collapsible sidebar and works across articles, PDFs and long documents. Users can ask it to break down complex topics, rewrite text, extract key points or explain unfamiliar concepts. Mozilla says the goal is not to turn Firefox into a chatbot platform but to make browsing faster, calmer and more efficient.

Unlike many AI features tied to data-heavy ecosystems, Mozilla emphasises user control. AI Window processes most interactions with privacy protections that prevent browsing data from being used to train external models.

Early testers say the assistant feels more grounded than typical generative AI tools because it stays focused on the page you are viewing rather than drifting into unrelated responses.

For a browser that built its identity on openness and user trust, AI Window signals Mozilla’s attempt to merge modern intelligence with the privacy-first values that shaped Firefox in the first place.

GTA Online expands the business grind with new property system in “New Listings” update

Rockstar Games is giving GTA Online players a fresh way to build their criminal empire with New Listings, a new update that introduces a deeper property and upgrade system designed to create a more structured path to long-term progression.

Players can now purchase starter properties that act as gateways into larger business ventures, letting newcomers set up operations without immediately jumping into the game’s pricier enterprises. Each property includes optional upgrades, quality-of-life improvements and scalable add-ons that shape how efficiently players earn money across missions and passive businesses.

Rockstar says the goal is to “lay a proper foundation” for players who want a clearer sense of progression in a world filled with high-end content. The update also refreshes payouts, tweaks mission flow and rebalances certain business types to fit the new property hierarchy.

Veterans will find new incentives as well, with advanced upgrades, bonus rotations and improved interoperability between businesses that once operated in silos.

New Listings continues Rockstar’s push to keep GTA Online’s decade-long economy accessible for new players while giving long-time residents more control over how they grow their empire.

AMD’s new FSR “Redstone” tech brings neural ray-regenerated lighting to Call of Duty: Black Ops 7

AMD has unveiled the first major feature of its next-generation FidelityFX Super Resolution pipeline, codenamed FSR “Redstone,” and it arrives with a big debut: Ray Regeneration is now live in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 for Radeon RX 9000 Series GPUs.

Ray Regeneration uses a neural network to clean and rebuild noisy ray-traced data, producing sharper reflections and more accurate lighting before the final upscaling pass. Instead of relying on traditional denoisers, the system reconstructs lighting at a deeper layer, allowing reflections in puddles, windows and metallic surfaces to appear far more lifelike during fast motion.

AMD says the technique boosts realism without compromising frame rates, since the neural refinement happens alongside the Redstone pipeline rather than adding extra render stages. Players should see clearer highlights, richer contrast and more stable reflections in dynamic scenes where ray-traced data usually breaks down.

The company calls this the first step in a broader Redstone rollout, hinting at more neural rendering features coming to future games and hardware. For now, Black Ops 7 serves as the showcase, pairing AMD’s co-engineering work with Activision to push in-game visuals closer to a cinematic look.

Bry-Air launches P80x, a MOF-powered dehumidifier built for next-gen pharma facilities

Bry-Air has unveiled the P80x, a pharmaceutical-grade dehumidifier that uses Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF) technology, marking a major step beyond traditional silica gel systems. MOFs, known for their ultra-porous molecular structure, offer far greater moisture capture efficiency and were central to this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

At its core, the P80x features Bry-Air’s MIRACLE Next-Gen Rotor, which delivers over 25 percent higher performance than silica gel rotors. The system operates at a much lower regeneration temperature of 60 to 80 degrees Celsius, compared to the usual 120 to 140 degrees, resulting in more than 50 percent energy savings and longer equipment life.

Designed with sustainability in mind, the P80x also supports heat pump integration, helping pharmaceutical manufacturers move toward net-zero processing.

With this launch, Bry-Air positions the P80x as a next-generation solution for precise and energy-efficient moisture control in demanding pharma environments.
