Instagram has introduced a new feature aimed at making it easier to interact with Reels. The feature is available on the web and is also rolling out to both Android and iOS apps with the latest update. The Meta-owned platform announced the feature via a post on Threads. With the update, users can now pause Reels with a simple tap. Previously, tapping a Reel would mute the audio instead. Previously, pausing a Reel required a tap-and-hold gesture. With the update, a single tap now pauses playback, and the mute option appears once the Reel is paused. Back in December 2025,…

I’m sure I don’t need to say this, but where would we be without coffee? I’m well aware there are many people who don’t drink the good stuff, but for those of us who do, I reckon we can all agree it’s something we could never live without.And no matter if you have a couple of cups in the morning or spread a variety of coffee-based drinks over the course of your day, if you’re getting your caffeine hit from a cafe, then I can only imagine what your yearly expenditure would look like. Fortunately, that’s where a home coffee…

The tremendous hype surrounding AI coding shows no signs of dying down. Last month, Anthropic released a suite of industry-specific plug-ins for its Claude Cowork AI agent, panicking investors over fears that traditional enterprise software-as-a-service companies could soon be made obsolete. The announcement triggered a trillion-dollar sell-off, with many tech companies seeing sharp declines in their share prices. It even seemed to jolt Sam Altman’s OpenAI, which moved to drop many of its distracting “side quests” in a concerted effort to double down on coding and enterprise-specific AI tools. Yet plenty of glaring questions about the long-term viability of AI…

Generally speaking, if you don’t like a TV show from the first episode, watching further on faith that it might improve doesn’t make much sense. There are other shows to watch and other things to do. And yet, you’ll sometimes hear some TV snob insist that this or that show only gets good half a season in, or two seasons in, or whatever, and that it’s worth it to soldier on. This is one of those times. While I’m usually loathe to recommend someone sit through a few episodes of a show that isn’t entertaining them, there can be more…

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. As attack surfaces expand and adversaries increasingly leverage AI, the modern CISO is tasked with orchestrating resilience at scale. Amid this shift, CISO Whisperer has released its list of “Cybersecurity Vendors CISOs Must Check Out at RSA Conference 2026,” identifying the companies best exemplifying this transformation. 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. From…

Still using older earbuds that struggle with noise, battery life, or overall sound quality, especially during commutes or workouts where it matters most? This drop makes upgrading feel far more reasonable without jumping into overly expensive territory. 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…
