Meta is ruining WhatsApp with ads, but I still can’t leave it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-19 04:00:15

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority When WhatsApp was acquired by Meta (then Facebook) over a decade ago, people immediately began to fairly speculate that ads would eventually seep into what had, until then, been a refreshingly ad-free messaging experience. And yet, quite surprisingly, WhatsApp managed to stay mostly unspoiled, even though bits of Instagram and Facebook (like Stories and Communities) kept sneaking in. That sunny stretch is starting to fade at last. If you’ve been following th

If you need a tablet data plan, these two Verizon Value brands are your best bet

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-19 09:18:04

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR If you’re looking for unlimited tablet data, Straight Talk and Total Wireless may be your very best option. Plans are just $10 to $20 a month for those with an existing phone plan from either provider. You’ll get truly unlimited data, though it will see deprioritization during periods of congestion. While all three major US wireless providers offer optional tablet plans for both prepaid and postpaid customers, official tablet support is actually much

New iPhone roadmap reveals timing of three big design changes

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2026-03-19 09:26:45

We’re just a few months away from Apple’s launch of the iPhone 17 lineup. But an analyst with expertise in displays just shared a roadmap for three design changes coming with future iPhones, starting next year. The road to an all-screen iPhone may be longer than expected Apple has a lot of big changes coming to the iPhone in the next few years. But new expectations published by supply chain analyst Ross Young indicate some of the updates may not arrive on the timeline we’d previously expected

Apple Research just unearthed a forgotten AI technique and is using it to generate images

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-19 09:59:45

Today, most generative image models basically fall into two main categories: diffusion models, like Stable Diffusion, or autoregressive models, like OpenAI’s GPT-4o. But Apple just released two papers that show how there might be room for a third, forgotten technique: Normalizing Flows. And with a dash of Transformers on top, they might be more capable than previously thought. First things first: What are Normalizing Flows?

Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 review: Technically proficient but lacking soul

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-19 09:30:03

In previous years, the Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 probably would have been called an Inspiron. However, after the company revamped its naming scheme earlier this year, all of its consumer PCs now share its name, with a few extra identifiers that call out size, design and status (aka how fancy it is). While I still think Dell’s choice to ditch the iconic XPS tag is a mistake, streamlining its portfolio makes a lot of sense, especially for people simply looking to buy a new laptop.

Canada says Salt Typhoon hacked telecom firm via Cisco flaw

The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security and the FBI confirm that the Chinese state-sponsored 'Salt Typhoon' hacking group is also targeting Canadian telecommunication firms, breaching a telecom provider in February. During the February 2025 incident, Salt Typhoon exploited the CVE-2023-20198 flaw, a critical Cisco IOS XE vulnerability allowing remote, unauthenticated attackers to create arbitrary accounts and gain admin-level privileges.
