We’ve seen the price of SSD storage go up and up over the past several months, rising to levels that many are not comfortable paying. It’s a sad reality that looks like it will continue for some time, with no real return to normal expected any time soon.

Yesilyurt analyzed observable signals in Google’s Discover app framework and mapped a nine-stage flow. Google: Crawls and understands your content. Reads key meta tags like…
Samsung’s got some new phones out, and as you might expect, there are also plenty of promotions from retailers and wireless carriers. While Samsung usually offers some pretty sweet deals, the brand’s discounts on the Galaxy S26 series phones are pretty lackluster this time around, offering just a $30 discount for preregistering and not even coming close to what we’ve seen in the past. So, it only makes sense to chase the best promotion out there if you’re looking to buy something new, which at this point, comes from Amazon. The retailer is offering a $200 gift card, along with…

As for the impact of AI, X-Force reports the technology is no longer an emerging concept in cybersecurity: “It’s a force multiplier actively used by both defenders and adversaries. Threat actors are already applying generative AI to scale phishing operations, accelerate malicious code development and enhance social engineering through improved language quality and realism. At the same time, defenders are using AI-driven analytics to process vast volumes of telemetry, identify anomalous behavior and shorten detection and response timelines.” “Adversaries increasingly use AI to accelerate research, analyze large data sets and iterate on attack paths in real time, allowing them to…
