Amazon’s Fire Tablets, Tested, So You Don’t Have To (2025)

Hackers are actively targeting a serious vulnerability in Wing FTP, a widely used FTP server, that could let them take control of systems remotely. The good news? All known attacks have failed—so far. But the flaw is still dangerous, and users should patch immediately.

Editor’s Note: If you or your company uses Wing FTP, this isn’t something to brush off. Even though attacks haven’t succeeded yet, hackers are clearly trying, and unpatched systems are sitting ducks. It’s a wake-up call to update your software before someone slips through.

Apple's first foldable iPhone is reportedly coming next year, but unlike the company's usual polished, tightly controlled reveals, this launch might feel surprisingly un-Apple—think less "perfectly staged event" and more "let’s see how this goes." Meanwhile, the M5 iPad Pro is getting a meaningful upgrade, Meta poached two more AI researchers from Apple, and Google locked in a launch date for the Pixel 10.

Editor’s Note: Foldable phones aren’t new, but Apple’s take could shake up the market—if they nail it. The "un-Apple-like" vibe suggests they might be stepping out of their comfort zone, which is either exciting or a red flag, depending on how much you trust their track record. The other tidbits? Just tech giants doing their usual dance of one-upping each other.

If you're hyped for the upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps movie but haven’t connected with past live-action versions, this writer suggests ditching those and turning to a lesser-known animated series on Disney+ instead. They call it the best adaptation of Marvel’s First Family and are binge-watching it themselves for a nostalgia kick.

Editor’s Note: With Marvel’s Fantastic Four reboot on the horizon, fans are hungry for ways to get into the spirit—and this piece argues that an old animated show might capture the team’s essence better than any of the films. It’s a fun, low-stakes recommendation that taps into both nostalgia and the excitement building around the new movie.

Editor’s Note: Let’s face it, tablets can be a minefield of specs and price points. With Amazon’s Fire lineup being a go-to for affordability, a thorough test drive helps cut through the noise. Whether you’re a casual user or a parent looking for a durable screen-time solution, this review saves time (and maybe a few headaches) by matching the right model to real-life needs.

Samsung's Galaxy AI features might be handy, but not everyone wants them running in the background—or at all. This article walks users through how to restrict AI processing to just their device (keeping data local) or disable it entirely, giving them more control over their privacy and performance.

Editor’s Note: AI is everywhere these days, and while it can be useful, not everyone trusts cloud-based processing or wants their data sent off-device. Samsung’s approach here is a nod to user choice—letting people decide how much (or how little) AI they want in their daily tech use. For privacy-conscious folks or those who just prefer a simpler experience, this kind of control matters.
