Perplexity has rolled out a new update to its AI-powered WhatsApp chatbot, enabling task scheduling and time-based notifications. This feature allows the AI assistant to offer a more proactive experience on the messaging app. In a LinkedIn post, Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas revealed that the bot can now issue custom reminders and periodic news updates based on natural language prompts. Microsoft has announced that support for Windows 10 will officially end on October 14, 2025, affecting millions of users globally. Despite the support cutoff, the company has assured users of continued delivery of vital security updates until 2028. As outlined in a blog post, Microsoft 365 apps, Defender Antivirus, and extended security updates will remain accessible post the end of standard support. Google has introduced a feature in Chrome for Android that lets users reposition the address bar to the bottom of the screen—a customization option that was first made available on iOS in 2023. This update is aimed at enhancing usability for one-handed operation, particularly on phones with larger displays. Samsung has announced its 2025 Smart Monitor range, headlined by the new Smart Monitor M9, which features QD-OLED technology for the first time in the series. The lineup also includes refreshed versions of the M8 and M7 monitors. All models come with 32-inch displays and are set to be released in select regions starting this month. Just days before its official release, footage from the first hour of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach appears to have been leaked. EuroGamer reports that a YouTube creator uploaded the content on June 22, noting: "First part of Death Stranding [2] before everyone else." The video was subsequently removed following a copyright infringement claim filed by MarkScan Enforcement, a firm specializing in IP rights protection. POCO has introduced the F7 smartphone in the Indian market, with a starting price of Rs 31,999. Notably, it is among the first devices in India to feature a massive 7,550mAh battery.

The company touts its ultra-slim bezels, claiming it delivers the largest and most immersive viewing experience in its category for gaming, streaming, and content creation. Apple services, including iCloud Mail, Photos, Find My, and Web Apps, experienced a widespread disruption during the early hours of June 25. According to Apple's system status tracker, the outage began at around 12 am IST and was resolved by 4:30 am. The company has since confirmed that all affected services have been fully restored across the globe. Anticipated to launch later this year, the iPhone 17 Pro has surfaced in alleged leaks, showcasing potential changes in design. According to a report by 9To5Mac, a dummy model of the phone indicates a transition to a full-width camera bar on the rear—departing from Apple's longstanding corner-mounted camera design. Honor is set to bring its X9c 5G smartphone to the Indian market. An Amazon India listing has already revealed key specifications, shedding light on the device's performance, camera setup, and design. Originally launched in China and selected global markets last year, the Indian variant is expected to retain most of the same features. The Redmi Pad 2 stands out as a reliable and affordable tablet choice for users seeking a device primarily for streaming, light web browsing, note-taking, and virtual learning. Featuring an 11-inch screen, a quad-speaker setup with Dolby Atmos, and a processor suitable for day-to-day activities, it performs well for typical non-demanding tasks. Added support for AI tools like Circle to Search and Gemini enhances its appeal for productivity. When paired with the optional Redmi Smart Pen, it also serves as a practical solution for students or professionals looking for basic sketching or handwriting functionality on a budget.

China calls Taiwan's tech blacklist 'despicable'
Beijing hit out Wednesday at Taiwan's inclusion of two Chinese tech giants on an exports blacklist, calling it "despicable" and vowing to defend its interests. China's Huawei and Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC) were among 601 entities from several countries added to a "strategic high-tech commodities entity list" by the Taiwanese government this month. Taiwan is a global chip powerhouse but companies based there must now obtain permission from the government to ship high-tech products to Huawei, SMIC or any other entity on the list. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villa For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search ads Learn More Undo Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman for Beijing's Taiwan Affairs Office, said Taipei was attempting to curry favour with the United States by "repeatedly resorting to sinister and evil tactics". "These despicable actions are disgraceful," Zhu said when asked about the Taiwanese blacklist. Live Events "We will take effective measures to resolutely maintain the normal order of cross-strait economic and trade exchanges and cooperation, and safeguard the interests and well-being of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait," she said in comments published by state broadcaster CCTV. Taiwan's move comes as Chinese tech companies face increasing export restrictions imposed by the United States. Washington has expanded efforts to curb exports of state-of-the-art chips to China over concern that they could be used to advance Beijing's military systems and other tech capabilities. The United States recently unveiled guidelines warning firms that using Chinese-made high-tech AI semiconductors, specifically Huawei's Ascend chips, would put them at risk of violating US export controls.
