The best dorm room essentials for college students

If you like retreating to your corner of the dorm room to watch shows on your tablet, the HoverBar Duo 2 can make the viewing experience a lot more comfortable. The first-gen model easily made the list of our favorite iPad accessories, and the new generation improves upon that model with a quick-switch tab to swap out the weighted base for a clamp. It’ll work with just about any tablet-sized slab from five to 8.68 inches — so ereaders and even smartphones should fit. The handy accessory can tur

Insider Claims Microsoft Saved Half a Billion Dollars by Automating Low-Level Jobs

A Microsoft executive has made a bold — if dubious — claim: that the company has already saved hundreds of millions of dollars as it automates thousands of jobs formerly held by humans. As Bloomberg reports based on insider sources, Microsoft chief commercial officer Judson Althoff said during a recent employee presentation that the tech giant saved more than $500 million using AI in 2024 — and that's just at its call centers. Althoff's comments came just days after the company announced layof

Google launches Android Canary program for Pixel users who want to live on the bleeding edge

Owning a Pixel smartphone or tablet has always meant getting early access to what Google’s working on next for Android, and for a certain class of users, that can be a major part of the appeal of this hardware. Those who are interested have long been able to register to participate in the company’s Android Beta for Pixel program, letting them get access to in-development builds of major new release like Android 16 months and months before they’re ready to hit stable. If you love that kind of ear

Superman Movies, Ranked

It took about 40 years from Superman first gracing the pages of a comic book to finally getting his own, full-fledged live-action blockbuster. In the 40 years since that, the Man of Steel has appeared on the big screen nine times, if you include this week’s latest iteration by James Gunn. By that math, we may be in for many, many more Superman movies over the next few decades. So, before that does or doesn’t happen, we thought it would be time to put them up against each other. Below, we have o

You Asked, We Answered: All of Your AI Angst

Paresh Dave: So my guess is something the size of a small calculator, like the ones that people used to fit into their shirt pocket or their patch pocket. Because I think Sam Altman has said he wants something sort of portable. But it'll be something that has a kickstand on the back, so you can lay it on the table and just have it sit there and kind of be around you wherever you are, whether it's the dining table or the kitchen counter or your desk at the office.

This Fact About Netflix's 'Poop Cruise' Still Haunts Me

It's not often a popular film on a streaming platform is heavily peppered with the phrase "it was raining sewage," but that's one of the joys-slash-horrors of Netflix's Trainwreck: Poop Cruise documentary. The movie is part of the platform's Trainwreck franchise, which focuses on real-life media sensations, news stories and controversial public figures, and for two weeks running, the flick has been in Netflix's Top 10, debuting at No. 2 (yes, No. 2) in its first week before sliding down to No. 6

How I used a Raspberry Pi to save my old Canon scanner

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority A couple of years ago, I decided to invest in a high-quality scanner. The idea was to digitize and archive dozens of old photo albums from my childhood that were scattered around in boxes. You know how these projects go. Starting is easy. Seeing it through, not so much. Over the years, I’ve kept coming back to it in bursts. But year on year, I’ve been running into roadblocks. Namely, driver support. You see, what started as a functional scanner turned into a sc

Amazon Is Practically Giving Away Ultra-Slim Portable Monitor to Clear Out Best-Seller Shelves This Prime Day

Working remotely doesn’t require you to stay confined to your home. You can actually work from anywhere you wish so long as it has an internet connection. Personally, I tend not to venture out often.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE shows us what Samsung thinks an ‘affordable’ foldable looks like

While foldable phones have been around for years now, relatively high prices compared to their stiff-screened brethren have meant that they’ve been an unapproachable option for many smartphone shoppers.

For this year’s refresh to its folding lineup, Samsung is bringing us not just its
