Samsung’s 60W Galaxy S26 Ultra upgrade is exciting, but I have concerns

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-18 17:00:28

As a proponent of fast charging convenience, the report that Samsung will increase the power of next year’s Galaxy S26 Ultra to 60W is music to my ears. The current 45W power level is already in a sweet spot, taking just under an hour to fully charge the phone. Still, that extra boost will undoubtedly come in handy when you need to bring the phone back from the brink quickly. More juice in fewer minutes is always welcome when you’re in a hurry. And yet, I feel a sting of hesitation — a faster-

Proposed "Click to Cancel" Act tackles subscription traps with clearer cancellation rules (again)

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2026-01-19 04:15:00

What just happened? A court decision temporarily halted the rollout of the FTC's click-to-cancel rule last month, but the drive for greater transparency and simplicity for consumers navigating the subscription economy remains strong. State-level regulations on automatic renewals are still in effect in areas such as California and New York, and now federal lawmakers are once again turning their attention to this issue. Democratic lawmakers have introduced the Click to Cancel Act, a bill designed

Officially, Microsoft will stop providing new security updates for Windows 10 PCs after October 14, 2025, a little over a decade after its initial release. It's a stick that Microsoft is using to push upgrades to the newer Windows 11, whether you install it on a PC you already have or buy a brand-new PC to meet Windows 11's system requirements.
