OnePlus Watch 3: what to expect
The new watch from the maker of the OnePlus 13 is expected to feature Wear OS 5, powered by the Snapdragon W5 chipset, which also includes a secondary MCU chip. This combination is expected to provide up to 120 hours of battery life between charges.
As OnePlus Europe's Chief Marketing Officer Celina Shi explained, 'Our software seamlessly switches operations between these two chipsets enabling the OnePlus Watch 3 to run with maximum efficiency and strike the perfect balance between peak performance and extended battery life.'
The OnePlus Watch 3 should feature a rotating digital crown alongside a titanium bezel with a sapphire crystal face. This is an update from the OnePlus Watch 2 that features stainless steel. How that digital crown compares to the Apple Watch Series 10 remains to be seen.
According to Shi, 'With the ability to both press and rotate, the rotating crown makes navigating through apps and menus efficient and intuitive – and ultimately the user experience even better.'
Beyond this, little is known about the new wearable device. Recent rumors indicate that the upcoming watch will include features now standard on smartwatches, such as health and fitness tools. Like recent Samsung Galaxy Watches such as the Galaxy Watch 7, it is expected to monitor blood pressure. This feature is projected to be available this fall with the release of the Apple Watch Series 11 and the Apple Watch Ultra 3.
The OnePlus Watch 3 should be available in the U.S., Europe, and other locations when released. The new watch will be revealed on Tuesday, February 18, at 8 a.m. EST.

Google's Chrome Update—Do Not Use This On Your Smartphone
Sometimes better is still not good enough. And so it is with the latest Chrome update to be confirmed by Google. This fixes a glaring security vulnerability, but it's still not recommended. With the mobile threat landscape worsening, here's what you should do. The 'much-needed fix' spotted by Android Authority adds 'biometric authentication before autofilling passwords.' This is already available in apps but not websites. That now changes, 'finally preventing password autofill without user verification.' But the inherent problem with Google's Password Manager is that it's built into its Chrome browser. And whatever password manager you use — and you should use one, it shouldn't be built into any browser, whether Chrome, Edge or something else. If you are using Google's Chrome password manager, TechRadar says 'you should reconsider.' Despite its convenience, 'there are significant downsides you can't ignore.' Above all, it takes a convenience-first rather than a security-first approach. This also means less extensive protections against autofill attacks in general. As I reported last month, the Freedom of the Press Foundation, PC Mag and Android Police all advocate using something else. 'Google has made it easier to move away from its password manager with a new 'Delete all data' option in the settings.' You should do that and move to a password manager fire-gapped from your browser. Per TechRepublic, 'today's online landscape is fraught with many cyber threats, and only a dedicated password manager can offer advanced features like zero-knowledge encryption, cross-platform compatibility, travel mode, and secure password sharing.' Android Authority explains the new update 'prevents thieves who steal your phone from signing into accounts that aren't already logged in. Unfortunately, Google Chrome on Android currently autofills passwords without any form of authentication.' And so, if you are sticking with Google's Password Manager, you should enable this when it releases. But if you want to better protect your passwords and accounts, take this opportunity to select a blue-chip password manager and move to that instead.

ChatGPT can breakdown any skill using the 80/20 rule - here's how to try it
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Have you ever heard of the 80/20 rule? Also known as the Pareto principle, it's the concept that roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes. Sound confusing? Simply put, doing 20% of something leads to 80% of a result. In other words, if you break down a skill into the most important aspects, you'll learn it far quicker than if you go through all the minute details. Then, you can fine-tune to become an expert. Anyways, why am I talking about some abstract rule when all you want to know is how to use ChatGPT? Well, I've been using the 80/20 rule in ChatGPT, and I've found the results to be so effective that it's on course to become my favorite way to use AI. The prompt is simple, and requires just a few words: Give me the 80/20 of X That's it. Ask about anything, and ChatGPT will break down how to achieve the result or learn the skill without any of the extra fluff that often makes people walk away because it sounds complicated. If you want to read about how I used and tested the 80/20 ChatGPT prompt, keep reading. Otherwise, use the prompt right now with ChatGPT to unlock a completely new way of learning. ChatGPT is an 80/20 master I decided that the best way to test this prompt was by asking ChatGPT how to learn things that I already know. That way, I could check if the simplified results were actually effective ways of learning. First up, I asked ChatGPT the 80/20 to kickflip on a skateboard. Not only did the chatbot simplify the process into five easy steps, but it also gave me a summarized version, which was even more streamlined. Next up, I asked ChatGPT the 80/20 to make a better Italian sugo (pasta sauce). As a massive foodie with Italy running through my veins, my pasta sauce is probably my magnum opus. I have vivid memories of the first time my mom taught me how to make it, and the best results are all in the tiny details. ChatGPT nailed it. So much so, that is there even a need for an Italian Nonna anymore? I'll not answer that. I then decided to ask my colleague, TechRadar's Senior AI Editor Graham Barlow, who also happens to be an expert and black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, for an idea. He told me to ask ChatGPT the 80/20 for a BJJ Triangle choke. I have no idea if this is a good answer, but Graham said, "That's very good." And if he says that, I'd trust it; he's a published author on the topic. Lastly, I asked for the 80/20 on a better tennis serve. I've been playing tennis again recently after over a decade off the court, and while my serve is improving, I'm still lacking the fundamentals that make it consistent. This is the one example I'm not entirely sure about, but I'll make sure to try ChatGPT's five most important steps to hitting a tennis serve later tonight when I hit the court! So, there you have it, an incredibly simple yet effective ChatGPT prompt that could simplify learning a new skill to the point where you actually commit to it. Whether you're looking to improve your cooking, learn a new BJJ move, or get better at swimming, the 80/20 rule is an excellent prompt that everyone can try.
