Thankfully, I was using the Xiaomi 17 Ultra at the time, so I wasn’t too worried.That’s because Xiaomi has a dedicated Reading Mode, and it is great to use. Other brands also have a similar feature, but Xiaomi does it better than just about anyone else, and it makes reading on the 17 Ultra…

Summary Notepad is absorbing WordPad features, turning a simple app into a more capable editor. Microsoft teased image insertion, hinting that Notepad may get picture support in Insider builds. To catch up to what WordPad had, Notepad is getting tables, strikethrough formatting, and nested lists. Windows’ built-in word processors are having a strange moment right now. First, we had Notepad and WordPad. Notepad focused on keeping things very simple, while WordPad was a little more advanced.

It’s a big cost play, he pointed out, and it “has to happen everywhere, all the time, for all users.” The next phase of inferencing The new Groq 3 language processing units (LPUs) are based on intellectual property (IP) from Groq, which signed a $20 billion licensing agreement with Nvidia late last year. According to the chip company, a fleet of LPUs can function as a “giant single processor.” While Rubin GPUs will continue to handle prefill (prompt processing), Groq’s LPX will now handle latency-sensitive portions of decode (response).

In many environments, the gap between detecting suspicious activity and stopping an active session can stretch from minutes to hours, leaving adversaries connected to operational systems while a response is coordinated. Active Defense closes that window. Remote connectivity is now essential for operating and maintaining critical infrastructure across sectors, including energy, manufacturing, transportation, and water utilities. At the same time, remote access pathways are frequently targeted by attackers seeking…

Naturally, there’s a trickle-down effect that leads to increases at retail, which means a lot of upcoming phones could be more costly than their predecessors. With that said, brands are now looking into ways to try to prevent this because, in the end, no one wants to pay higher prices. We’ve seen all kinds of strategies being used over the past year to deal with this new challenge, and it looks like Samsung is…
