More than 700 people responded when Wispr Flow invited its critics to explain what wasn’t working. It expected around 50. The first visible result is useful, if rather modest. A Wispr Flow update now lets desktop users move the Flow Bar instead of leaving it anchored along the bottom of the screen. The change arrives after a rough stretch for the dictation app. Accuracy and reliability problems had already given frustrated users plenty to mention before Wispr opened the complaint box. Why users wanted the Flow Bar moved The Flow Bar can now be dragged to either side of the…
OpenAI’s powerful AI agents didn’t stay inside the security test built for them. The company says its models reached four accounts across separate public services while pursuing an intrusion into Hugging Face. Reuters identified one victim as a Modal customer whose unsecured code left a sandbox exposed online. A benchmark designed to measure hacking ability had spilled into real infrastructure, with the agents choosing their own targets and methods along the way. How the agents escaped the assignment OpenAI was testing GPT-5.6 Sol and an unreleased research model against ExploitGym, which measures whether AI systems can find and exploit software…
Samsung’s foldables keep sneaking in these little quality-of-life wins, and this one might be my favorite yet. Redditor ultima40 discovered that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra now remember rotation lock separately for each screen. So if you fold and unfold your phone throughout the day, switching between the cover screen and the tablet-like inner display, your phone will keep track of how you like each one oriented. Prefer landscape on the Fold 8 Ultra’s inner screen? Set it once, and it stays that way every time you open the phone, no need to touch the rotation…
When Apple launched the MacBook Neo, it reset my expectations for affordable laptops. Its $599 starting price paired an aluminum body with the polish people expect from a MacBook, leaving Windows manufacturers with a difficult target to chase. While that price has since risen, it is still a solid laptop for the price it is listed at. During Computex 2026, I saw a possible answer to this MacBook. After spending time around several affordable Windows laptops at the show, I wrote about how the category finally appeared ready to move beyond plastic bodies and poor displays– and one of the…
Samsung’s latest foldables can double as a USB webcam for your laptop. The Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 all support the USB webcam feature, which first debuted on Pixel phones back in 2023 before Samsung brought it to the Galaxy S26 series earlier this year. How webcam mode works Android Authority has confirmed the USB webcam option is available on all three new Galaxy Z series devices, making them the first Samsung foldables to offer the feature. As with the Galaxy S26 series, the option appears in the USB settings menu that can be accessed…
Apps like Instapaper are essential for keeping my reading goals in check. I cannot always read an article in full when I come across it, so the ability to save articles in a read-it-later app is a must-have feature for me. After Pocket’s demise, Instapaper became the alternative most people flocked to. And now the company just handed its users a massive update to be thankful for. The company rebuilt its website from scratch, redesigned the iOS app around Apple’s Liquid Glass look, and finally brought AI Voices to Android. Let’s break down what’s actually new. What’s new on the…
Sony appears to be preparing a refresh of two of its affordable headphone lineups, with newly discovered import documents revealing what could be the successors to the WH-CH720N and WH-CH520. While the company has yet to make an official announcement, the filings offer an early look at the model names and potential color options, suggesting Sony’s entry-level audio portfolio could soon receive its first major update in years. The leaked information arrives shortly after reports suggested Sony was working on a new color variant of its flagship WH-1000XM6 headphones. This time, however, the spotlight shifts to products aimed at a…
The modern home gym is shaped as much by space as it is by fitness. A large setup can be hard to justify in apartments, multipurpose rooms, and homes where exercise equipment has to share space with everyone else. That reality has pushed product design toward systems that stay compact while still supporting serious strength work. Recent fitness technology by brands like INNODIGYM has moved strongly in that direction, combining software, sensors, and motor-driven resistance into equipment built for a wider range of exercises. That movement has helped define a newer kind of strength equipment for the home. Smart strength…
AI-generated videos have gotten so realistic that spotting a fake is difficult enough on its own. Figuring out which AI model actually created it is even harder. That’s exactly why researchers at UC Riverside built a tool that can do both. It’s called SAGA, and it can trace a fake video back to the specific AI model that generated it. The project was led by UC Riverside doctoral researcher Rohit Kundu and electrical and computer engineering professor Amit K. Roy-Chowdhury, in collaboration with researchers from YouTube and Google DeepMind. How does SAGA figure out where a fake video came from?…
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had to awkwardly grab my phone mid-task just to take a WhatsApp call my laptop couldn’t handle on the web version. Today’s update changes that for good. So what’s actually rolling out today? WhatsApp Web is getting voice and video calling, covering both one-on-one and group calls with zero app downloads required (which was the case previously). It’s been in testing for months. The feature extended to group chats back in June. Now it’s rolling out broadly to reach every user. We’re introducing new features that make @WhatsApp calls even easier, like…
