After countless privacy breaches that prompted increased scrutiny from authorities, and after Apple turned privacy into major selling points of its iPhones and Macs, Google and Facebook quickly pivoted to supporting stronger privacy even though it goes against their whole business model — collecting user data in return for free services, and turning that into piles of cash courtesy of ads. Both companies have a long road ahead to prove they really mean it when they say they want to protect user privacy, no matter how exciting it may be to hear them come up with new pro-privacy features for their products.

Samsung made a significant change in the way it introduces new innovations to mobile devices. Instead of debuting on pricey flagship phones, features like the hole-punch design and multi-lens cameras were launched with the help of mid-range handsets. Those technologies then made their way into the S10 and Note 10 flagships once they were proven. It stands to reason that Samsung will continue to roll out new technology using more affordable devices before bringing it to flagships. Of course, that’s unless we’re talking about foldable phones, which feature two tech innovations that are too expensive cheaper devices — that’s the hinge mechanism and foldable display. With that in mind, new reports claim Samsung is ready to introduce the revolutionary design breakthrough we’ve been waiting for, but on one can seem to agree on which phone will be the first to utilize it.

I’ve been using a J.A. Henckels knife set for many years now and if I’m being totally honest, they weren’t worth the money. They’re fine knives, don’t get me wrong, but they were definitely overpriced because any decent knife set works just as well. My knives are old enough now that I can’t really go on resharpening them all the time, so I’ve been looking for a good alternative to replace them with that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

I had some minor frustrations with Google Maps during a recent stay in Paris, which I wrote about here and which caused me to switch to relying on Apple Maps — at least until I got back home. In one Italian town, meanwhile, those headaches I wrote about are apparently on a whole other level.

The Sardinian village of Baunei has actually had to rescue so many tourists and travelers who’ve gotten lost and stuck over the past year that the town has actually begun actively begging people not to use Google Maps at all. The mayor of the village, Salvatore Corrias, has given a number of interviews to the press in recent days trying to steer people away from using the app. And the town has even started putting up road signs that instruct drivers: “Do not follow the directions of Google Maps.”
