Samsung’s upcoming S26 series is rumored to come later than its predecessor, and the latest report suggests that Samsung will hold the all-important Unpacked event on February 25. Speaking of the Galaxy S26 series, the latest intel on the Galaxy S26 Ultra suggests that Samsung will replace the venerable 10MP sensor on the 3x zoom camera with a new 12MP one. It doesn’t sound very innovative. Closing off the Samsung thread in this week’s top stories, Samsung’s tri-fold concept was shown in a video from more angles. It’s still sitting behind glass so we’re not getting a hands-on just yet.…

A new report from Mark Gurman details Apple’s ambitious, long-term satellite strategy, which began far before the iPhone 14’s Emergency SOS. The company is now developing new features like off-grid maps, photo messaging, and connectivity that works from your pocket.Apple’s satellite plans go way beyond emergenciesAccording to a new report, Apple’s vision for satellite connectivity is much grander than its current features suggest. The company’s initial goal, which started about a decade ago, was reportedly to bypass cellular carriers entirely.Like the Apple Watch’s original health ambitions, the company scaled back that vision to launch a practical feature first: Emergency SOS…

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton late on Thursday said he is suing online gaming platform Roblox over child safety concerns, accusing the company of “deceiving parents about the dangers of its platform.” In a statement, Paxton alleged that Roblox chooses to prioritize “pixel pedophiles” and profit over the safety of children, and said the platform has become a “breeding ground for predators.” “We cannot allow platforms like Roblox to continue operating as digital playgrounds for predators,” Paxton said. “Roblox must do more to protect kids from sick and twisted freaks hiding behind a screen. Any corporation that enables child abuse…

Día de los Muertos or Day of the Dead is a big thing in Mexico. Deservedly making the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, it is a huge fest, paying respects to the dead by celebrating instead of mourning. We were lucky enough to be invited by Oppo alongside some other media to see the spectacle up close, and we took the Oppo Find X9 Pro to capture the entire thing. There aren’t many other smartphones on the planet that can match Oppo’s finest in a camera test, so we were pretty confident in our choice. The Oppo Find…

Firefly is powerful, and I won’t be able to cover everything you can do with it. Instead, I’ll walk you through a simple workflow of generating an image using an AI model, and then using that image as the starting frame to generate a short, looping video.At the top, select New. You can either create a new file or generate a new file. Creating a file allows you to, for example, upload a photo and use generative AI to edit it, while generating a file creates that image from scratch with an AI model. For this example, choose Image under…

Parts of San Rafael, a city just north of San Francisco, are sinking about half an inch per year. That might not sound like much, but altogether, it has meant that some neighborhoods — like the Canal District that borders the bay — have sunk three feet, placing them at greater risk of flooding from sea-level rise. San Rafael isn’t alone. Cities around the world are threatened by rising sea levels, with 300 million people at risk of routine flooding by 2050. The cost of building seawalls to hold the waters back could top $400 billion in the U.S. alone.…

Amazon says more markets will gain access to the app in the months ahead.…

Analysts think that the iPhone Air is not doing as well as Apple may have hoped – this may be why we see it discounted fairly often. And here it is again. Apple is trying to kickstart a new trend with the iPhone Air – it measures only 5.6mm thick and weighs only 165g and that makes it feel special when you hold it in your hand. It’s a shame that beyond being thin and light, the phone isn’t all that good at anything. It has a 6.5” LTPO OLED display, a single 48MP camera and a small 3,149mAh battery…

The U.S. Congressional Budget Office has confirmed it was hacked.  Caitlin Emma, a spokesperson for CBO, told TechCrunch on Friday that the agency is investigating the breach and “has identified the security incident, has taken immediate action to contain it, and has implemented additional monitoring and new security controls to further protect the agency’s systems going forward.”  CBO is a nonpartisan agency that provides economic analysis and cost estimates to lawmakers during the federal budget process, including after legislative bills get approved at the committee level in the House and Senate.  On Thursday, The Washington Post, which first revealed the…
