For small businesses and home offices alike, the printer has become something more than a peripheral. Remote and hybrid work, side businesses, and small teams handling their own operations have all raised the bar on what a shared office printer needs to do. A machine that handles the occasional document is no longer enough when invoices, contracts, client paperwork, and employee forms are moving through it every day. What follows is not a feature checklist. It is a walk through a typical hybrid workday and the moments where the  printer either earns its keep or quietly costs you time you…

The Fold 8 Ultra could get a sharper display, a more powerful chipset, a new camera, and a larger battery. Samsung’s purported wider foldable, the Fold 8, is expected to solve the most common problem with tall-body, narrow cover screens by adopting a new aspect ratio. The Flip 8, on the other hand, could only debut with a new chip, and not a Snapdragon one.  The Flip 7 wasn’t a bad clamshell by any measure. However, it’s been one year, and the memory crisis has already hit the smartphone market hard. In a tricky cost-to-margin situation, the Flip 8 could…

If you look at the AI landscape, a majority of its usage in the film and television industry has been pretty controversial. Bringing dead actors to life on a screen, using AI to record vintage songs that were never completed, or just using it to film scenes or handle any other part of the creative process — the backlash has been pretty vocal. But there are a few slivers of hopeful AI usage, too, and Google just delivered one of those in a heartwarming fashion using Gemini AI. I wonder the world never archived This is how the story goes.…

AI deepfakes have become a headache for creators, and TikTok is finally stepping up to fight back.

Picture this: it’s the night before a deadline and you need to print something that cannot wait. A permission slip. A completed tax form. A signed contract. You hit print, and the printer flags a low-ink warning. Not empty yet, but enough to make you wonder whether it will finish the job. You check the cartridge status, decide to risk it, and start calculating whether you can get a replacement delivered by tomorrow. If that scenario is familiar, you already understand the core problem with traditional inkjet printing. The hardware gets you in the door. The ink keeps you paying…

Google is rolling out a small but useful update to the Contacts app on Android that makes it much easier to find and share your own contact details. Instead of digging through settings or creating a separate contact for yourself, you’ll now see a dedicated ‘Your Info’ card at the very top of your contacts list. The feature gives you quick access to your phone number, email addresses, and other personal details while also adding a faster way to share them with others. The update is arriving with Google Contacts version 4.83.13.940538822 and is rolling out widely (via 9to5Google). What…

Apple just raised the subscription fee for its eponymous music streaming service. For individual plans, the price has climbed by a dollar, and so has the affordable student tier. The fee for the family plan has gone up by $3, and it now costs $19.99 in the US. The benefits associated with each plan remain unchanged. How much do I pay now? If you are a new subscriber, the revised prices are effective immediately. For old subscribers, they will pay the increased fee once the ongoing billing cycle comes to an end. Here’s the new pricing that is now updated…

Samsung has spent the past few days building anticipation for Galaxy Unpacked, but one of the company’s biggest pre-launch moments may not have come from an official teaser. Instead, it appears to have come from BTS. During soundcheck ahead of BTS’ concert in Paris, J-Hope shared an Instagram Story that appears to show Samsung’s upcoming book-style foldable. While the device isn’t identified by name, its wider cover display and revised proportions look remarkably similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 8 that has surfaced repeatedly through recent leaks and renders. Given Samsung’s close relationship with the BTS member, it’s difficult to…
