According to a new report from Reuters today, Samsung Electronics plans to invest KRW 110 trillion, or approximately $73 billion, in research and development and facilities “in a bid to lead the semiconductor industry in artificial intelligence”. In a corporate filing, Samsung also revealed that it is pursuing “meaningful mergers and acquisitions” in areas like robotics, medical technology, automotive electronics, and air conditioning solutions. To put the number in perspective, Samsung says it invested a total of KRW 90.4 trillion, or approximately $60 billion, in R&D last year. So this year’s plan would represent an increase in expenditure of over…
Austin, United States, March 19th, 2026, CyberNewswire Cybersecurity has entered a new phase, one defined less by reactive controls and more by continuous, intelligence-driven operations.

At the RSA Conference 2026, taking place March 23–26 at San Francisco’s Moscone Center, these vendors represent the move toward integrated platforms, AI-driven automation, and outcome-based security strategies.

If that sounds familiar, the AirPods Pro 3 are now £184, down from their usual £219 retail price with JoyBuy, knocking £35 off and making them a much easier upgrade to justify if you have been holding onto an older pair. AirPods Pro 3 fall to a record low, making Apple’s top tier earbuds surprisingly affordable AirPods Pro 3 hit a new all‑time…
After settling its lengthy antitrust battle over the Android app ecosystem earlier this month, Google said Thursday it will make it easier to install Android apps from outside the Play Store. The company shared new details about an “advanced flow” setting that will allow Android device owners to turn off a verification requirement, which otherwise prevents users from sideloading apps. The tech giant announced last year that it would require all Android apps to be registered by verified developers to be installed on certified Android devices. By doing so, the company aimed to limit the ability of bad actors to…
Edgar Cervantes / Android AuthorityTL;DR AT&T is increasing legacy plans by $10 a month for single-line users, or a flat $20 increase for any number of lines on a family plan. In addition, it seems AT&T has now lowered its special discounts for teachers and medical professionals to a max of 20%, down from 25%. The discount changes affect new and legacy plans immediately, though the price increase isn’t expected until sometime in April. Last week, AT&T announced new core plans that are largely a sidegrade at best and arguably are more of a downgrade in many ways. At the…
The town of Alice Springs lies near Australia’s geographic center, in a region often called the “Red Centre” for the rusty hue of its desert landscape. After weeks of heavy rainfall in February and March 2026, however, vast areas of desert and surrounding mountains turned lush and green. The MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this image (right) of the southern part of Australia’s Northern Territory on March 10, 2026. For comparison, the left image shows the same area in January 2026, before the onset of heavy rains. The area’s landscape typically appears red due to the oxidation of…

High-speed HDMI cables are just as important as your streaming devices. The good news is that most of your devices come bundled with an HDMI cable, and as long as you use the bundled cable, there’s nothing to worry about. However, that all goes out the window if you don’t have a bundled HDMI cable. That was the case when I bought my Apple TV 4K used, and it didn’t come with anything other than the device, remote, and power cord. It can be difficult to tell HDMI cables apart, but it’s not impossible. If you’re looking for an HDMI…
