The origin: a mystery with a Japanese name

For years, many online scams were easy to dismiss because they looked rushed. The grammar was bad, the fake websites were weak and the impersonations often felt off. That is changing fast. Generative AI allows scammers to produce better text, more realistic images, stronger fake identities and even voice cloning that can mimic someone you know.

But alongside the excitement, there’s one detail that’s impossible to ignore — especially for PC players.

On March 26, 2026, Meta's FAIR (Fundamental AI Research) team published TRIBE v2, and the numbers tell the story of the leap: from 4 volunteers to more than 700, from 1,000 brain regions to 70,000 cortical vertices, from a few hours of data to more than 1,000 hours of functional MRI recordings.

The most recent and concrete signal came on March 15, 2026, when MSI — one of the world's largest gaming hardware manufacturers — informed investors that it has no choice but to raise product prices by between 15% and 30% throughout the year. The measure affects laptops, pre-built desktops, handheld consoles and, especially, graphics cards. Co-founder and senior executive Huang Jinqing warned that the situation could shrink the PC market by between 10% and 20% in 2026.

Cloudflare is not a minor player. It handles the infrastructure for close to a fifth of all websites in the world, giving it a privileged view of how global traffic evolves.

On the other side sit the iPhone 17 Pro Max — starting at $1,199 — and the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra — starting at $1,299 in the US or from 1,449 euros in Europe. The price gap is roughly three to one. What do you actually get for paying three times more?
