Samsung may be working on its most aggressive anti-distraction tool yet

Samsung is developing a feature for One UI 9 called “Network management for concentration,” which aims to help users manage distractions by controlling internet access for specific app categories, including Browser, Game, Social, Streaming, and Other. This feature is found in the hidden Connectivity Labs menu and allows users to restrict internet access without manual intervention. It includes a six-digit PIN system for security, ensuring only authorized users can modify settings, and features a “Downtime” mode to schedule automatic activation of restrictions. The feature is currently in the experimental phase, with its public release uncertain.

Meta faces court over Android tracking claims

Meta is facing a class action lawsuit for allegedly exploiting vulnerabilities in Android smartphones to track users' private information, linking browsing activity to Instagram and Facebook accounts. The lawsuit claims Meta unlawfully accessed and de-anonymized personal data of millions of Android users to enhance advertising profiling. A US District Court Judge ruled that most privacy-related claims in the lawsuit must proceed, stating that plaintiffs have plausibly alleged a significant intrusion upon their privacy. Meta is accused of exploiting an Android vulnerability to bypass security measures that isolate apps, allowing it to link browsing information to users' accounts. Although Meta has reportedly stopped using this tracking method, it successfully dismissed two claims related to unjust enrichment and the use of modified pixel code. Additionally, the lawsuit includes claims against Google for negligence, with one claim dismissed but another allowed to proceed. In response to regulatory pressures, Meta is introducing new features for parental supervision of teens on its platforms and plans to use AI to detect underage accounts.

Dell SupportAssist is crashing some Windows 11 PCs, causing them to enter reboot loops. Here’s how to stop it.

Dell users on Windows 11 are experiencing frequent blue screens and reboot loops after updating the Dell SupportAssist Remediation software to version 5.5.16.0, released on April 30. This issue particularly affects models like the XPS 15 9530, with crashes occurring approximately every thirty minutes and a common error message being "CRITICALPROCESSDIED." The problem has been traced to the DellSupportAssistRemediationService.exe, which is pre-installed on many Dell systems and designed to manage diagnostics, driver updates, and recovery tools. Users are advised to uninstall or disable the software to restore normal functionality. Dell has acknowledged the issue and is working on a resolution. Temporary workarounds include disabling the service via Command Prompt or fully uninstalling the SupportAssist components through the Settings app. However, uninstalling may result in the loss of system repair points created by the service.

I hit the Windows 11 emoji picker bug that hides search and found a quick fix

Windows 11 users have experienced an issue with the emoji picker where the search box disappears unexpectedly. This problem has been noted by multiple users, including a colleague from Android Central. A simple solution to restore the search function involves opening Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc, locating Windows Explorer in the list of processes, right-clicking on it, and selecting Restart. This action reloads the user interface elements and effectively restores the emoji search feature until a permanent fix is provided by Microsoft.
