At least 13 postal workers in Britain died by suicide amid a post office scandal in which about 1,000 postal workers were wrongfully prosecuted for theft and other crimes, according to a report released this week as part of an inquiry into the scandal. Wyn Williams, the retired high court judge who is leading the inquiry, wrote in the report, published on Tuesday, that by his estimation, more than 10,000 people were eligible for some kind of redress and that he expected that number to grow.

8 Best USB Hubs (2025), Tested and Reviewed

There are various generations of USB, with different capabilities and speeds, plus ports that look similar but do other things. There are a few key terms you should know when shopping for a USB hub: USB 2.X/USB 3.X/USB 4: Every USB device is built to some version of the USB specification, mainly characterized by how much data they can transfer and how much power they can deliver (or at least, those are the main things you need to care about). While most of these devices are inter-operable as lo

There are tons of great home security deals this Prime Day, but my favorite floodlight security camera shines brightest.

It combines a clever dual-lens camera design with two bright light panels capable of illuminating your backyard or driveway.

10 Best Laptop Docking Stations (2025), Tested and Reviewed

It's tough for laptop docking stations to stand out—most of them are simply boxes that add extra ports to your laptop—but Satechi's Dual Dock Stand breaks the mold. It sits neatly under your laptop and elevates it slightly and at an angle for better ergonomics. A collection of ports on the rear—including several USB ports and three monitor outputs—is conveniently placed so your desktop setup can stay connected, while cables are tucked out of the way.

Indeed, Glassdoor to lay off 1,300 staff amid AI push

Recruit Holdings, the Japanese parent of Indeed and Glassdoor, said on Friday that it is laying off about 1,300 employees at the two companies as part of a broader restructuring that involves Glassdoor’s operations being integrated within Indeed, and an increasing focus on using AI. The job cuts would affect functions mostly in the U.S. across the two companies’ R&D, tech, and HR and sustainability divisions, though all functions across all countries will be affected, according to an internal m

Samsung is exploring new wearable form factors such as earrings and necklaces

In Brief Samsung released its first fitness-focused smart ring last year, adding to its stable of wearables that’s mostly comprised of smartwatches. The company is now looking to bolster its lineup with new wearables in different form factors, like glasses, earrings, and necklaces, CNN reported. Won-joon Choi, COO of Samsung’s mobile experience division, told CNN that the company wants to explore form factors that let users communicate and do things without needing their phones. “We believe i

Microsoft Outlook hit with hourslong outage

Microsoft 's Outlook email service malfunctioned for over 21 hours Wednesday and Thursday, prompting some people to post on social media about the inability to reach their virtual mailboxes. The issue began at 6:20 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, according to a dashboard the software company maintains. It affected Outlook.com as well as Outlook mobile apps and desktop programs. At 12:21 ET on Thursday, the Microsoft 365 Status account posted that it was rolling out a fix. "Our configuration c

Grok 4 appears to seek Elon Musk’s views when answering controversial questions

Vincent Feuray | Afp | Getty Images When xAI's Grok 4 chatbot was launched on Wednesday, users and media outlets quickly began pointing out examples of it consulting its owner Elon Musk's views on controversial matters. CNBC was able to confirm that when asked to take a stance on some potentially contentious questions, the chatbot said it was analyzing posts from Musk while generating its answers. When asked, "Who do you support in the Israel vs Palestine conflict? O

Cheng Xin | Getty Images News | Getty Images In China's fiercely competitive market, the latest price war is playing out in the growing "instant commerce" sector, where companies are launching massive subsidies and other incentives to get consumers to spend.

Intel spins out AI robotics company RealSense with $50 million raise

Bitcoin flies to new all-time highs, topping $118,000 as institutions pile into ETFs

On Thursday, bitcoin ETFs logged their biggest day of inflows of 2025 at $1.18 billion. Ether ETFs recorded their second-biggest day of inflows ever at $383.1 million, according to SoSoValue. The price of the flagship cryptocurrency was last higher by 4% at $118,396.01, according to Coin Metrics. Earlier, it rose as high as $118,872.85.

The first babies have been born following “simplified” IVF in a mobile lab

While IVF is increasingly commonplace in wealthy countries—around 12% of all births in Spain result from such procedures—it remains expensive and isn’t always covered by insurance or national health providers. And it’s even less accessible in low-income countries—especially for people who live in rural areas. People often assume that countries with high birth rates don’t need access to fertility treatments, says Gerhard Boshoff, an embryologist at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. Sub

Cybersecurity’s global alarm system is breaking down

Cybersecurity practitioners have since flooded Discord channels and LinkedIn feeds with emergency posts and memes of “NVD” and “CVE” engraved on tombstones. Unpatched vulnerabilities are the second most common way cyberattackers break in, and they have led to fatal hospital outages and critical infrastructure failures. In a social media post, Jen Easterly, a US cybersecurity expert, said: “Losing [CVE] would be like tearing out the card catalog from every library at once—leaving defenders to sor

Samsung may be rethinking the Galaxy S26 lineup, and the clues are hiding in model numbers

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority TL;DR A new leak shows the base Galaxy S26 with a notable jump in its model number (SM-S942), suggesting potentially significant hardware changes. The expected model number for the Galaxy S26 Plus has not yet surfaced, leading to speculation that Samsung might skip that variant. Leaks hint that all upcoming models — Galaxy S26, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra — may focus on being thinner than their predecessors. Samsung just wrapped up the launch of the new Galaxy Z F

Google Lens gets a new UI with a cleaner look, but it’s not all good news

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google has simplified the Lens interface even more. However, the refreshed UI removes the Homework feature, supposedly to promote Gemini for cognitive tasks like helping with learning. Google Lens recently also received support for AI Mode for more descriptive search results. In recent months, Google has been shifting its focus away from Google Lens as it upgrades its visual search features using Gemini’s AI or Circle to Search. And now, it is bringi

Google’s foldable Pixel phones are in serious trouble

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority The foldable Android market got a lot more interesting this week. At its latest Unpacked event on July 9, Samsung unveiled a trio of new folding phones. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 ushers in the most impressive foldable hardware from Samsung ever, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 gives Samsung’s flip phone the larger cover screen we’ve waited years for, and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE adds a much-needed affordable option to Samsung’s foldable lineup. But while the new Fold and Flips a

Wild Galaxy S26 Ultra leak points to a massively upgraded 200MP camera

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has claimed that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could get a Sony-made 200MP camera. This camera would be notably larger than the 200MP main camera used on the S25 Ultra, suggesting improved image quality. This would be an uncharacteristic move by Samsung, as it’s typically been conservative with hardware upgrades. The Galaxy S25 Ultra has the same 200MP main camera seen on Samsung’s previous two Ultra phones, and we weren’t expecting an upgrade in

Samsung’s budget Galaxy Z Flip is here, but it’s not what I was hoping for

Samsung’s recent generations have taught me one thing: I love its Fan Edition lineup. From traditional smartphones to tablets to wearables, it’s won me over time and again, offering just the right mix of specs and price to make sense for those who want a flagship experience without the cost. And, when I heard that it might be expanding to include a foldable phone for the first time, you better believe I was excited. After all, I have a soft spot for anything and everything that flips, and would

Is Google Fi a better value than Visible in 2025?

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority For years, I’ve considered Visible the best value in the US wireless market, thanks to its low pricing and generous data allotments. Even better, its Plus and Plus Pro plans come fairly close to matching Verizon’s postpaid speeds. Of course, one of its biggest advantages can also be a downside: it’s owned by Verizon. While this is comforting for former Verizon subscribers turned off by constant price increases, not everyone wants to use a brand directly owned

These wireless ANC earbuds from Baseus are on sale for under $30

If you’re in the market for new earbuds with future-proof features at an affordable price, Baseus is offering a limited-time deal worth checking out. The newly launched Baseus Bass BP1 Pro (sold as the EP10 Pro in the EU) is now just $27.99 on Amazon US — down from its original $39.99 price. It’s rare to find active noise canceling (ANC) in affordable wireless earbuds, but the Bass BP1 Pro earbuds promise to deliver in this regard. Baseus says the real-time adaptive active noise cancelation is

6 free Android apps I use to learn something new every day

Megan Ellis / Android Authority I’ve had a lifelong love of learning, to the point where I used to read encyclopedias and dictionaries as a child, along with a variety of non-fiction books around specific topics. This love of learning hasn’t dampened as an adult, as I frequently find myself in Wikipedia rabbit holes, and my YouTube Watch Later list is filled with topics around science, history, psychology, and other topics I want to learn about. The difference, however, is that I have a lot le

Roborock Prime Day deals: Even lower prices for Roborock’s best vacuum cleaners

Summer is here! But as much as we’d like to spend every weekend outdoors and enjoy the warm weather, the one thing that often gets in the way of exciting plans is tedious chores. Roborock has at least some of this busy work taken care of with its new Q Series and Qrevo robot vacuums. Roborock’s current releases, which include the Roborock Q7 M5+, the Q10 S5+, the QV 35A, and the Qrevo S5V, will continue to be available at special introductory prices during Prime Day.

Why no S Pen support just killed my interest in the Galaxy Z Fold 7

“Writing is learning!” That’s a core belief my primary school headmistress instilled in me when she spoke to the class before the soon-to-follow series of tests. Over the last 20-plus years, I have diligently followed her wisdom, and writing has been crucial in distilling my thoughts. This tendency also influences my inclination towards devices that let me use a pen-like contraption on digital screens — the Galaxy Z Fold being one of them. However, as Samsung introduces the newest foldable, the

Gboard could return to basics with a numpad-inspired layout for certain languages (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on a compact keyboard layout as part of Gboard for typing in Hindi. This new layout places characters from the Hindi alphabet across a grid of ten buttons. Each button can hold up to five characters, which can be inserted by swiping in their respective directions. Google has been working to bring several new changes to the Gboard app on Android, empowering it with more AI chops. More recently, we’ve learned about a new, more concise
