This is a rather interesting development for sure, but for whatever reason, Samsung has already shipped an update containing Android’s May security patches to the Galaxy A55 and is now doing the same for the Galaxy A54. Meanwhile, this author’s personal Galaxy S26 Ultra is still running patches from April 5 as of writing this article. We snooped around in the changelog for the update just out of curiosity. Perhaps something in there would simply be more relevant in some way to the midrange Galaxy A5x family? That doesn’t appear to be the case. The May patches address two critical…

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 14, 2026 — Equinix, Inc. today announced the global expansion of Equinix Fabric Geo Zones, the first network-level, sovereignty enforcement layer that operates across interconnected clouds and providers. Enterprises face growing compliance risks from network rerouting events that can inadvertently move sovereign data across borders they are legally required to respect. Built natively into Equinix Fabric, Geo Zones eliminates that risk by keeping data within defined geographic boundaries. A map of Equinix Fabric Geo Zones “Businesses are facing one of the most complex global regulatory environments in history while at the same time facing huge pressure…

Google’s been gradually adding a lot of features for Gemini across different fields and applications, and its most recent addition allows users to create study guides based on their school notes and texts. The process is fairly simple as well, and folks using Gemini can easily prepare a guide using the assistant. As per Google: If you spend the semester taking meticulous, handwritten notes, by exam season you end up with a pile of pages and an overwhelming amount of information. But luckily, you also have everything Gemini needs to generate a logical, structured study guide to help you prep for…

ArXiv, a widely used open repository for preprint research, is doing more to crack down on the careless use of large language models in scientific papers. Although papers are posted to the site before they are peer-reviewed, arXiv (pronounced “archive”) has become one of the main ways that research circulates in fields like computer science and math, and the site itself has become a source of data on trends in scientific research.  ArXiv has already taken steps to combat a growing number of low-quality, AI-generated papers, for example by requiring first-time posters to get an endorsement from an established author.…

The Samsung Galaxy S26+ (256GB) is currently $890 on Amazon – that’s a bit lower than we’ve seen it at for the past few weeks and $200+ off on a phone that’s less than three months old is a solid discount. That said, the 2026 model doesn’t bring many updates over its predecessor – there’s the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and the slightly faster wireless charging (20W vs. 15W, though still without magnets). Meanwhile, many flagship features are still missing, things like a high resolution sensor in the telephoto camera, 10-bit colors for the display or an IP69 rating…

Meta’s decision to track employee keystrokes and mouse data is causing an uproar within the company. “Selfishly, I don’t want my screen scraped because it feels like an invasion of my privacy,” wrote an engineer in an internal post seen by nearly 20,000 coworkers this week. “But zooming out, I don’t want to live in a world where humans—employees or otherwise—are exploited for their training data.”The message aimed to rally support for a petition circulating inside the company since last Thursday that demands an end to what Meta calls the Model Capability Initiative. It’s a piece of mandatory software that…

The vibes around the current AI boom aren’t great, even in the tech industry, according to a lengthy social media post from Menlo Ventures partner Deedy Das.  Das described San Francisco as “pretty frenetic right now,” as “the divide in outcomes is the worst I’ve ever seen.” Using a “back of the envelope AI calculation,” he projected that there are around 10,000 people — founders and employees at companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Nvidia — that have “hit retirement wealth of well above $20M,” while everyone else worries “they can work their well-paying (but <$500k) job for their whole life and…
