I’ve had my Roku Streambar, the soundbar-and-streamer combo Roku launched in 2020, humming under my TV since it came out. More recently, the picture flickered, the bar ran warmer than it should, and the home screen turned into a wall of apps I never open. Turns out, I was causing most of that myself.

Sanuj Bhatia / Android AuthorityTL;DR Samsung introduced USB webcam support with this year’s Galaxy S26 series. The feature now returns on all three of the company’s new foldables. After connecting to your PC over USB-C, tap your charging notification to activate webcam mode. Samsung’s new foldables are finally official, and while this year everyone’s talking about the extra-wide hardware form factor debuting as the Galaxy Z Fold 8, there are nearly just as many reasons to be excited about Samsung’s latest software. These devices mark the arrival of One UI 9 stable, and we’ve spent a lot of time since…
Apple announced on Monday that it has released patches for dozens of vulnerabilities discovered recently in its operating systems. The company patched 87 vulnerabilities with the release of iOS 26.6 and iPadOS 26.6.

In macOS Tahoe 26.6, Apple fixed 155 vulnerabilities, including ones allowing access to sensitive user data, arbitrary code execution, security bypasses, and DoS attacks. macOS Sequoia 15.7.8 includes fixes for…
When you use an AI to write code, you pay for tokens — chunks of text the model reads and writes. Frontier models charge a lot per token. Cheaper models charge a fraction. Think of building a house. An architect charges $500 an hour; a bricklayer charges $40. Both are essential. But you’d go broke paying the architect to lay bricks. That’s the whole insight. Until recently, AI coding tools did exactly that — one expensive model did the thinking and all the typing. There’s a second problem. Every model has a context window, its working memory. Ask one agent…

I think it’s fair to say that Fire TV has gone through a lot of changes over the past year. Last year, Amazon introduced Vega OS, its new Linux-based operating system for Fire TV devices. It debuted on the new Fire TV Stick 4K Select in October and the new Fire TV Stick HD in April. However, it quickly became controversial because Vega OS doesn’t support sideloading apps, unlike Fire OS. At the same time, Amazon rolled out a completely redesigned Fire TV interface for both Fire OS and Vega OS devices, bringing a fresh look and feel while improving…
