This $100 discount makes the Motorola Razr 2025 my favorite budget flip phone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-08 08:42:37

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Motorola Razr (2025) I absolutely love flip phones, mainly because I am a fan of smaller devices. There’s also the novelty factor; these are really cool and always spark conversations. My main issue is that they also tend to be very expensive. Things are changing, though, and there are now very accessible devices with a foldable screen. If I had to spend my hard-earned money, I would go for the Motorola Razr 2025, which is now $599.99 thanks to a $100 discount. B

Tornado Cash sold crypto “privacy”; the US saw “money laundering.” A jury isn’t sure what to think.

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-08 04:29:20

"Crypto mixers" exist because of a peculiar feature of cryptocurrencies—most are fully traceable using their public blockchain ledgers. To provide more privacy to crypto account owners, a mixer will let people toss their crypto into a large pool, where it is "mixed" with other people's crypto. At a later date, each crypto owner can choose to withdraw their money from the pool into a new, anonymous wallet, thus making the movement of the crypto harder to track. Of course, the obfuscation doesn't

A Single Poisoned Document Could Leak ‘Secret’ Data Via ChatGPT

The latest generative AI models are not just stand-alone text-generating chatbots—instead, they can easily be hooked up to your data to give personalized answers to your questions. OpenAI’s ChatGPT can be linked to your Gmail inbox, allowed to inspect your GitHub code, or find appointments in your Microsoft calendar.
