The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold is, by almost every measure, a phone that shouldn’t exist in the first place, and yet here we are: a massive 10-inch screen, two hinges, and a price tag that might make your wallet cry. Samsung knew it was a first-generation device, which is why it kept production intentionally limited, a controlled showcase of engineering ambition rather than a full market rollout. However, “more hits than misses” is not the bar you set for a device that costs almost as much as two or three conventional smartphones. For now, the TriFold is gone, but its…
A new AI tool is flipping one of the oldest rules of digital communication on its head: perfect grammar is no longer the goal. Instead, the latest trend is to make emails look deliberately human – even if that means adding typos. When AI Starts Making You Sound Less Perfect According to a report by Fast Company, a new “anti-Grammarly” style tool created by Ben Horwitz has emerged that intentionally inserts mistakes into emails, making them appear less polished and more human. Horwitz is an investment partner at a venture capital firm called Dorm Room, and he comes from the…
Microsoft is rolling out a major overhaul of its Windows Insider Program, aiming to simplify how early Windows features are tested while addressing long-standing user complaints around complexity and control. The update marks one of the biggest structural changes to the program in years, signaling a shift in how Microsoft wants to collaborate with its testing community. A Simpler Insider Program Built Around Feedback And Control The revamped program introduces a streamlined structure, reducing multiple Insider channels into two primary ones: Beta and Experimental. This replaces the earlier, more fragmented system that included Dev, Canary, and Release Preview channels, which…
A recent security incident involving Anthropic has highlighted just how fragile the safeguards around advanced AI systems can be. A Wired report suggests that a small group of users, operating through private Discord channels, managed to gain unauthorized access to the company’s highly restricted Mythos AI model – an experimental system designed for cybersecurity applications. A Breach That Exposes Bigger Risks Around AI Control The incident appears to have occurred almost immediately after Mythos was made available to a limited group of trusted partners. According to multiple reports, the unauthorized users gained access through a third-party vendor environment, rather than…
Tesla is once again leaning on one of its most effective sales tools: free Supercharging. The company has announced that buyers of the Model 3 Premium and Performance variants will receive one year of complimentary access to its fast-charging network, reviving a perk that has historically been used to drive demand, according to a report by Electrek. A Strategic Freebie That Signals More Than Just Savings At its core, the offer is straightforward. Customers purchasing higher-end Model 3 trims now get a year of free access to Tesla’s Supercharger network, though the company notes that the incentive is subject to…
A subtle but potentially significant shift may be coming to the iPad lineup, and it has less to do with hardware and more to do with identity. In a recent interview with John Ternus and Greg Joswiak from Tom’s Guide, the company could rethink how it names future iPads – moving away from the familiar generation-based system. A Naming Reset That Signals A Bigger Strategy Shift The report stems from insights shared in a recent interview with Apple’s hardware leadership, where the idea of simplifying product naming surfaced. Instead of continuing with labels like “10th generation” or chip-based identifiers such…
If you use NotebookLM for research, you know how quickly sources pile up. Managing them manually, especially in notebooks with ten or more entries, has been one of the tool’s most frustrating pain points, but Google just fixed that. NotebookLM, the AI-powered research assistant built on Gemini, is rolling out automatic source labeling and categorization. The feature activates once you have five or more sources in a notebook, and it automatically assigns labels for you. Mo sources mo problems? Not anymore:Rolling out now, NotebookLM can auto-label & categorize sources (when you have 5+), so you can spend less time scrolling…
Supernote Nomad has become my favorite purchase of the last year, and believe me, the decision to buy it was not easy. I didn’t realize that the e-ink tablet landscape had become so vast, and all the tablets I looked at had at least a few compromises that were a deal breaker for me. Finally, after comparing and cutting out at least half a dozen e-ink tablets from my list, I settled on the Supernote Nomad. Yes, it also has some drawbacks, but there were five main reasons I settled on it. And I am glad that I did, as…
My original Switch should feel retired by now. It has the thick bezels, the aging screen, the tired battery life, and the unmistakable aura of a gadget that has survived too many backpacks. Next to Switch 2 and the current wave of handheld PCs, Nintendo’s first hybrid console looks hopelessly outgunned. And yet, I keep picking it up. My standards are not heroic here. I want to wake it and start playing before the part of my brain that checks battery percentages gets involved. I use the old console in 2026 because it’s almost annoyingly direct. That shouldn’t feel radical.…
Xbox Game Pass may be getting a more budget-friendly route in, and Discord could be the vehicle Microsoft uses to make it happen. The company already teased a new Discord and Xbox Game Pass partnership earlier this week. Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma said the two companies were teaming up again “as we continue to make Game Pass more flexible for our players,” while also hinting that some users might start seeing code appear before a formal announcement. What does this collaboration offer to gamers? In a tweet shared by DiscordPreviews, subscribers of Discord Nitro may soon get access to…
