Sony’s new Bravia lineup includes its ‘King of TV’ successor
-
Sony has unveiled its new Bravia 8 II QD-OLED TV, the successor to the award-winning A95L and a contender for the best TV of 2025. With 125% the peak brightness of the A95L and improved color accuracy, the Bravia 8 II aims to replicate Sony’s $40,000 studio reference monitor, though it stops short of matching its full HDR performance. Sony also debuted the Bravia 5 Mini LED TV with six times more dimming zones than its predecessor, and the entry-level Bravia 2 II LED TV for the U.S. market. The new Bravia Projector 7 and audio accessories like the Theater Bar 6 round out the home theater lineup. Pricing is expected later this spring. Click here to read more.

Why Christians Must Protect Real Relationships in an Age of AI
- AI-powered tools like the Sonny counseling chatbot are being introduced in schools and even churches, raising concerns about replacing real human relationships with artificial ones. Sonny, available to 4,500 U.S. students, uses a hybrid model with human oversight, while faith-based applications like an AI “Jesus” in Switzerland and a prayer app by Pastor Ron Carpenter demonstrate the growing role of AI in spiritual spaces. While helpful, these technologies cannot replicate genuine human connection or spiritual fellowship. Christians are reminded that the Body of Christ is relational by design and must not substitute real relationships with artificial ones. Click here to read more.

Startup aims to end phishing: what’s behind bold claims?
- A new cybersecurity startup called Relock is aiming to revolutionize authentication with a technology called “continuous passive authentication,” which constantly reauthenticates users in the background without interrupting their experience. Founded by Polish developers Marcin Sznyra and Przemek Cherklevich, Relock’s JavaScript-based system issues and updates cryptographic keys on each user interaction, offering strong resistance to phishing, credential theft, and session hijacking. Already integrated into pilot projects in the U.S. and Europe, the solution requires no user installation and is compatible with current authentication methods. Click here to read more.

Lebanese army significantly improved anti-Hezbollah enforcement, IDF sources say
-
Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed during an IDF-embedded media visit that widespread destruction in southern Lebanon has delayed Hezbollah’s return, potentially for up to five years, as villages remain uninhabitable. IDF sources say only 20–30% of Lebanese civilians have returned since the ceasefire, easing concerns of Hezbollah fighters disguising themselves as noncombatants. Meanwhile, the Lebanese Army has taken unprecedented anti-Hezbollah enforcement actions, reportedly conducting 500 operations with U.S. coordination. Katz also said Israel will maintain five outposts inside Lebanon and continue parallel military enforcement despite recent ceasefire terms. Click here to read more.
