• Two new Garmin watches seem to be imminent
• We might get a cheaper Forerunner this Tuesday
• The Venu 4 could follow the recently launched Venu X1

It looks like there are going to be two new contenders for our list of the best Garmin watches in the very near future, with one official tease and one unofficial leak pointing towards new devices in the coming days and weeks.

To start with what we've heard directly from Garmin, the company has posted a teaser for a new watch arriving on July 22 (this coming Tuesday). The outline of the wearable suggests we're looking at a new Forerunner model.

Well-known tipster the5krunner says it's unlikely that this is an existing model launching in China. It's more probable that it's a China-specific Garmin, or it's a completely new model that's going to be launching globally.

Over at Garmin Rumors, the thinking is that the "1XXX" on the teaser image could refer to the price of the upcoming watch, in yuan. If that guess is right, then we'd be looking at a relatively affordable Forerunner compared to the rest of the series.

As for the less official news, Garmin Rumors (via Notebookcheck) has spotted the first ever mention of the Garmin Venu 4 in the documentation accompanying the Garmin Golf app. Garmin hasn't said anything about this watch, but it looks like it might be on the way.

Earlier this year the Garmin Venu X1 was launched, but based on this new information, that wasn't the true successor to the Garmin Venu 3 – although the brief mention we have of the Venu 4 doesn't tell us too much about it.

Given what Garmin has been doing with its other flagship wearable refreshes, there's a good chance the Venu 4 will come with a brighter screen, an updated user interface, a flashlight, and some additional health features and fitness metrics.

However, there have been no other leaks or rumors to date to give us any hints about what's coming. As soon as Garmin makes either of these smartwatches official, we'll of course bring you all the details on TechRadar.

• Garmin's latest update fixes some bugs and adds others

• Beelink GTi15 Ultra offers vapor cooling in a chassis barely larger than a paperback novel
• A fingerprint reader and dual 10GbE ports are rare finds on any mini PC
• External GPU support solves one problem and creates three others in terms of cost and footprint

Beelink’s GTi15 Ultra mini PC has been launched with features more commonly associated with full-sized desktops.

The standout elements include dual 10Gb Ethernet LAN ports, a fingerprint reader, and support for external graphics - additions which suggest it is built for users who demand more than casual browsing or media playback, especially those looking to downsize without giving up specific performance perks.

Compared to its predecessor, the GTi14, the new GTi15 Ultra brings an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H processor, but the raw CPU performance gain is modest, about 11%, based on internal benchmarks.

Beelink’s GTi15 Ultra doesn’t emerge in a vacuum; it’s the next step in a mini PC lineage that has gradually pushed the envelope.

Earlier models like the GTi12 Ultra and GTi14 Ultra pioneered the inclusion of a PCIe x8 expansion slot for Beelink’s proprietary EX GPU dock, targeting users who wanted a compact form factor but still needed the option of a desktop-class GPU.

The bigger change, however, lies in the integrated Arc Graphics 140T, which replaces the Arc 8-core iGPU from the previous model.

Despite the branding, this shift may not result in a meaningful leap for GPU-heavy tasks.

The option to connect Beelink’s own external GPU dock certainly offers more flexibility, but not without added cost and space concerns.

With up to 64GB of DDR5 memory and a built-in 145W PSU, the GTi15 Ultra is presented as a serious machine for demanding users.

The dual 10GbE ports point toward a networking edge that could appeal to niche professional workflows, potentially making it viable as a business PC - but in most work settings, such bandwidth far exceeds actual requirements.

The same goes for vapor chamber cooling, which may help thermals but feels more like a talking point than a necessity in typical office scenarios.

Starting at roughly $655 in barebones form and climbing to nearly $880 when configured with 64GB RAM and 1TB storage, this mini PC lands in price territory occupied by capable desktops and laptops.

While the appeal of a sleek video editing PC in such a small footprint is understandable, compromises remain, especially when factoring in the limited internal GPU and dependency on external docks for full graphics performance.

• Inside the deepfake threat that’s reshaping corporate risk

Screenshots and PDFs have long served as the fallback tools of digital recordkeeping. They're easy to create, straightforward to file, and for a long time, they seemed “good enough.” But in today’s regulatory environment, where agencies like the SEC and FINRA are demanding complete, contextual, and verifiable records, “good enough” is quickly becoming a liability.

As communications become more dynamic and digital interactions more complex, static captures are increasingly out of step with the needs of modern compliance, and the expectations of U.S. regulators. Recent guidance and enforcement trends make it clear: partial records or flattened archives are no longer sufficient.

Compliance professionals have always adapted to new requirements and risk environments. It’s time to ask whether our current tools still meet the moment. For many firms, that answer is starting to shift.

Not long ago, archiving a digital interaction was relatively straightforward. You saved an email. You took a screenshot of a webpage. It was static, predictable, and mostly text-based.

That’s no longer the case. Communications happen across platforms that are constantly updating - live chat software, dynamic websites, embedded widgets, interactive forms, and more. A webpage might display differently depending on who views it, or when. A chat thread might be edited minutes later, or disappear altogether.

In other words, what you're trying to capture isn’t standing still. It’s changing in real-time, sometimes invisibly, and when it comes to compliance, those changes matter a lot. Trying to preserve that complexity with a flat image or PDF is like trying to understand body language by looking at a photograph. You get part of the picture, but not the full story.

1. They Strip Away Context: Static captures freeze a single moment. They don’t show what came before or after, or how a page or chat evolved. That’s fine - until someone asks how a user experienced a disclosure, or when a message was edited, or whether a page displayed something different two hours later. In those moments, a flat PDF cannot elaborate.

2. They Lack Authenticity: A screenshot looks official, but lacks credibility. It’s difficult to verify when it was taken, whether it shows the whole interaction, or if it’s been altered. In a legal or regulatory setting, that opens the door to doubt and risk.

3. They Don’t Scale: Modern communications move fast and in high volume. Manually capturing and filing screenshots or PDFs is time-consuming, error-prone, and unsustainable. And if you’ve ever tried to search across a thousand PDFs for a single keyword, you know it’s far from ideal.

4. They’re Out of Step with Regulator Expectations: Agencies like the SEC and FINRA are no longer content with partial records. They want full, accurate reconstructions of conversations - especially those that touch customers and investors, or include compliance-sensitive content. They’ve made that clear in recent enforcement actions focused on off-channel communications and poor recordkeeping.

5. They Don’t Capture the Brand Experience: Even outside of compliance, faithfully preserving what happened still matters. Static archives miss how users interacted with a brand, how journeys unfolded, or how dynamic elements behaved. For marketing, product, support, or legal teams, that’s a real gap. Replay delivers full, authentic re-creations of digital experiences, helping brands understand and protect the moments that matter.

A growing number of compliance teams are moving toward replay-capable archiving systems, which not only save a file or a message, but allow you to recreate the experience as it happened.

With replay, you're not capturing a still image. You're preserving a moment in time that you can revisit, navigate, and verify.

Users can...

1. Revisit a webpage exactly as a user saw it - scrollable, clickable, and live with the same styling and interactive elements.

2. Watch how a digital disclosure evolved over time, with version histories intact.

3. Overlay and compare two captures of the same site or chat to quickly spot differences, updates, or unauthorized changes.

4. Provide regulators or auditors with a full, interactive view, backed by metadata and time-stamped proof.

Replay doesn’t just meet the letter of compliance, it helps meet the spirit of transparency, accuracy, and accountability.

Replayable archives offer a number of meaningful advantages for modern compliance. They provide a more accurate record, capturing conversational nuance rather than just a snapshot of what someone happened to say at a single point in time. These records are also auditable by design: time-stamped, tamper-resistant, and rich with metadata that supports their authenticity.

Beyond that, they’re easier to work with. Unlike static files buried in folders, replayable records can be indexed and searched dynamically across platforms, reducing the time and effort it takes to locate specific communications.

Perhaps most importantly, they improve the defensibility of your compliance posture. Regulators and legal teams don’t just receive an image, they can interact with a faithful reconstruction of the communication as it originally appeared and functioned. It’s a shift from passive recordkeeping to active, immersive documentation, a much stronger foundation for meeting both regulatory expectations and internal accountability standards.

Screenshots and PDFs were once enough. They were functional, and often the best available option. But the tools that served us well in a simpler digital world aren’t necessarily correct for today’s dynamic landscape.

Replay archiving isn’t just a technical upgrade, it’s a strategic one. It allows compliance teams to respond with confidence, investigate with precision, and align more closely with regulatory scrutiny, without adding unnecessary complexity.

In today’s regulatory environment, context and clarity aren't luxuries, but necessities. While static records might offer a snapshot, modern compliance often requires the ability to press play and experience the linear journey, first-hand.

The good news? The technology exists. And the case for using it is only getting stronger.

When it comes to compliance, seeing what happened should include seeing how it happened, and when. And for that, the PDF and screenshot era belongs in the scrapbook.

Every organization claims security is a priority, yet 91 percent of Security and IT leaders admit they’re making compromises in their security strategies. In today’s environment, compromise has shifted from a failure point to a functional reality of modern enterprise.

Pressed to deliver agility, reduce cost, and keep up with the exponential demands of AI, security teams are being forced to make trade-offs they once would have rejected outright. Visibility is sacrificed for speed. Data quality is sidelined in the rush to deploy. Tools are added faster than they can be integrated. And all of it unfolds under the guise of “acceptable risk,” a term that now shifts depending on the urgency of the business goal at hand.

This is not a story of negligence; it’s one of systemic strain and of an urgent need to reset. As hybrid cloud environments grow more complex and threat actors grow more sophisticated, enterprises must confront an uncomfortable truth: the more compromise becomes routine, the harder it becomes to manage what comes next.

This article explores the consequences of this normalization, the fractures it is creating across the security landscape, and why visibility must be the foundation for regaining control in a world increasingly shaped by AI.

Security leaders are not compromising out of carelessness. They are making calculated decisions under pressure. With cloud computing environments expanding, AI deployments accelerating, and infrastructure growing more fragmented, the operational burden on security teams is exceeding what existing tools and architectures were built to handle.

When asked where they are making trade-offs, the answers are telling. Nearly half of respondents to our 2025 Hybrid Cloud Security Survey say they lack clean, high-quality data to support secure AI workload deployment. The same proportion report insufficient visibility across their hybrid environments, particularly in lateral traffic, which remains one of the most critical yet overlooked areas for threat detection. Another 47 percent point to tool integration as a key area of compromise, highlighting the strain of managing sprawling tech stacks that fail to deliver cohesive insight.

These issues strike at the foundation of any viable security strategy. Without comprehensive visibility, detection becomes reactive. Without reliable data, AI initiatives carry unquantified risk. Without integrated tools, signal fragmentation makes it difficult to prioritize threats, let alone respond effectively.

The perception of risk is also changing. Seventy percent of Security and IT leaders now consider the public cloud to be their most vulnerable environment, citing concerns over governance, blind spots, and the difficulty of maintaining control across distributed architectures. This represents a departure from the early optimism that once accompanied widespread cloud adoption.

In this climate, compromise has become operationalized. What was once a contingency is now a constant, and the consequences extend far beyond tactical inconvenience. Each trade-off introduces ambiguity into risk calculations, increasing the likelihood that a blind spot becomes a breach. The underlying challenge is not just about resources or tooling. It is about the quiet erosion of standards that were once considered non-negotiable.

The consequences of compromise are materializing across every layer of the organization. This year, the percentage of organizations reporting a breach rose to 55 percent, a 17 percent increase from last year. Just as concerning, nearly half of security leaders say their current tools are falling short in detecting those intrusions. These failures are not due to a lack of investment. They are the result of environments that have outgrown traditional controls, where more data, more alerts, and more tools do not necessarily translate into better protection.

Tool sprawl is a prime example. Organizations are managing an average of 15 security tools across hybrid environments, yet 55 percent admit those tools are not as effective as they should be. Rather than delivering clarity, this growing stack often introduces friction and gaps. Overlapping capabilities generate noise without insight. And all the while, attackers are adapting faster than defenders can consolidate.

AI tools are compounding the issue. One in three organizations say their network data volumes have more than doubled over the past two years, driven largely by AI workloads. This surge is overwhelming existing monitoring tools and giving threat actors more opportunities to hide in plain sight. Nearly half of respondents report a rise in attacks targeting large language models (LLMs), while 58 percent say AI-powered threats are now a top security concern.

These developments reveal the hard truth that compromises made upstream—in visibility, data quality, and tool integration—are now surfacing downstream in the form of missed threats, delayed response times, and a growing sense that risk is outpacing control.

But at its core, the issue is not how much data flows through an environment, but how little of it can be fully understood or trusted. Without clear insight into where data travels and how it behaves, risk remains obscured. Eighty eight percent of Security and IT leaders say access to network-derived telemetry is essential for securing AI deployments, which speaks to a broader shift.

As systems become more distributed and threats more subtle, traditional log-based telemetry is no longer enough. What organizations need is complete visibility into all data in motion, across all environments, at all times.

For CISOs, the implications go beyond threat detection. Without complete visibility, risk management becomes reactive. Security teams operate in the dark, relying on fragmented signals and assumptions rather than intelligence. And when accountability is high, but authority is limited, the gap between what leaders are responsible for and what they can control becomes a vulnerability.

Fusing network-derived telemetry with log data is the only way to close the space between what organizations believe is secure and what is actually at risk. This deep observability is what transforms fragmented environments into something defensible, and what gives teams the situational clarity to not just respond to threats, but to contain them before they escalate.

Just because compromise has become the norm does not mean it has to remain the standard. Risk can be recalibrated, but only if visibility is treated as the foundation for a more resilient, forward-looking security strategy.

• Nvidia's GH200 chips are at the core of Britain's Isambard-AI supercomputer
• It's the 11th fastest in the world, and 10x faster than Britain's second-fastest
• The UK government hopes it'll aid in drug discovery and more

The UK's most powerful AI supercomputer, Isambard-AI, is now fully operational at the Bristol Centre for Supercomputing (BriCS), with some serious Nvidia power at its core.

With 21 exaFlops of AI performance backed by 5,448 Nvidia GH200 Grace Hopper superchips, Isambard-AI now ranks 11th on the Top 500 list of fastest supercomputers, making it one of the global leaders.

Nvidia declared the British supercomputer is now 10x faster than the next UK supercomputer, and more powerful than all the others in the UK combined.

Besides being the 11th fastest supercomputer globally, Isambard-AI also ranks fourth globally on the Green500 list for energy efficiency, demonstrating the progress being made to reduce the environmental impact of AI machines and data centers.

Its eco-credentials are endless, including carbon-free power, waste heat recycling and a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of below 1.1 – among the best in the world.

Build in collaboration with Nvidia, HPE and the University of Bristol, Isambard-AI received £225 million in government funding in the hope that the supercomputer would go on to aid across important humanitarian issues like drug discovery and climate modeling.

"And as we press this switch to activate the UK’s most powerful supercomputer, we are embarking on Britain’s super future where AI contributes towards the delivery of better public services, greater public prosperity, deeper scientific discovery and stronger national security," UK Secretary of State Peter Kyle commented.

Among its first projects are Nightingale AI, trained on NHS data to support earlier diagnoses and personalized care, BritLLM, designed to promote inclusivity and better public service delivery in the UK's languages, including Welsh; and UCL Cancer Screening AI for prostate cancer detection.

• Battlefield content creators are reportedly receiving packages from EA
• Said packages seemingly confirm the name of the series' next game
• Battlefield 6 will allegedly be revealed officially on July 29, 2025

The title of the next Battlefield game seems to have been revealed, as content creators familiar with the series have reportedly been receiving special packages from EA.

As reported by Eurogamer, Battlefield content creator Rivalxfactor posted to X / Twitter, following a since-deleted post featuring a physical box emblazoned with the Battlefield 6 title.

"Content creators are receiving packages from EA," writes Rivalxfactor, who also states that: "Battlefield 6 will be the title name and the preview to the world will probably be by the end of the month."

In a follow-up post, Rivalxfactor claims that Battlefield 6 is to be officially announced on July 29, spanning a three-day event that will encompass not only the reveal of the game, but also interviews with the developers. Rivalxfactor also says an open beta will take place "shortly after" this event, though no specific date is given here.

I have confirmed with another person that there is indeed a 3 day EA event starting on July 29th. This is where Battlefield 6 will be revealed, devs will be interviewed in a somewhat fixed format, and the game will be featured with content creators.The open beta will launch… https://t.co/OmLRH3Gg3ZJuly 19, 2025

Previously, publisher Electronic Arts has suggested that the next Battlefield game will launch before April 2026, and we've also seen what is allegedly a leaked clip of the upcoming title's campaign mode.

If the footage indeed belongs to Battlefield 6, it looks like it's going to return to the series' roots, offering a more contemporary warfare setting and thus ditching the futuristic escapades of Battlefield 2042 and the historic battlegrounds of Battlefield 5 and Battlefield 1.

While we naturally encourage you to take any and all leaks with a healthy pinch of salt - we won't truly know anything concrete until EA officially reveals the game itself - it'll be worth marking July 29 on your calendar just in case the current crop of rumors turns out to be accurate.
