Ryan Haines / Android AuthorityTL;DR Samsung’s One UI 9 beta introduces a Security Report to Auto Blocker, allowing users to view a seven-day or monthly history of blocked app installations from unknown sources. The Maximum restrictions mode in Auto Blocker on One UI 9 now completely blocks USB connections, a significant step up from the command-only blocking found in One UI 8.5’s standard Auto Blocker mode. These features are currently live in the One UI 9 beta 1 for the Galaxy S26 series. Auto Blocker on One UI helps keep you safe from security threats, suspicious activity, and privacy risk…

The Mythos Moment can be defined as the moment when industry fully realized that human security has no chance of matching the speed and volume of AI-assisted cyberattacks. The CSA responded to the Mythos Moment with advice in The ‘AI Vulnerability Storm’: Building a ‘Mythos-ready’ Security Program.  It wrote, “Introduce AI agents to the cyber workforce across the board enabling defenders to match attackers’ speed and begin closing the gap.” This is good advice if you can do it. From within the thousands of vulnerabilities being found, only some will be relevant to any one environment, and even fewer will…

Sony A7R VI: Two-minute reviewHighly-detailed images or blazing-fast performance — historically, you’d have to pick one or the other when choosing a camera.

After 15 years, Google is finally set to replace its much-loved and much-maligned Chromebook laptop series with something new. The all-new Googlebook series is set to launch this Fall, and is, as you’d expect, centered around AI with Google Gemini baked into every part of the operating system. But with a host of big laptop manufacturing names already onside, such as Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo, the Googlebook range looks like it’s off to a strong start. Google won’t say so outright, but Googlebook is functionally the successor to the Chromebook. But that means to really be successful, it…

Let’s be honest — most of us don’t clean our smart TVs very often, if at all. TVs can run fine for months or years without being touched. Heck, you might not notice the visual difference, since the best mini-LED sets are so bright that they’re competing with sunlight. Even OLED TVs are finally reaching the stage where you don’t need a dim room for maximum impact. On a long enough timeline, however, a dirty TV is going to become problematic. You’ll notice the grime in onscreen shadows, and a truly thick layer of dust can lead to issues like…

An innovative 3D printing process that advanced NASA’s approach to outfitting a lunar habitat is making buildings on Earth beautiful, efficient, and strong.  Instead of building structures layer by layer, Branch Technology Inc. of Chattanooga, Tennessee, has developed a process the company calls Freeform 3D Printing, which creates shapes with lightweight lattice structures that can be filled or covered. The company uses the technique to manufacture visually interesting, modular building elements, such as wall panels and cladding.  “Our process eliminates a ton of material from something that otherwise might be printed solid all the way through,” said David Goodloe, who leads Branch Technology’s Advanced Concepts team, which manages the company’s NASA collaborations.  In…

Instagram announced on Wednesday that it’s globally launching “Instants,” a new feature for sharing authentic, disappearing photos after testing it with select users. The feature lets users share disappearing photos with their Close Friends or mutual followers that can be viewed only once and remain available for 24 hours. The app borrows ideas from social platforms like Snapchat, Locket, and BeReal, as it focuses on authentic and ephemeral content. Unlike Instagram, which is about curated and polished content, Instants is designed for quick, real-life snapshots. With Instants, you capture a photo with Instagram’s in-app camera and aren’t allowed to edit…
