Revamped Siri will reportedly offer auto-deleting chats
Apple is hoping that its record on privacy can be the differentiator on the AI front, and maybe even buy it a little slack as it continues to lag behind the competition. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the more chatbot-like Siri set to debut in iOS 27 will include the option to autodelete chat histories.

FCC robocall crackdown could change phone privacy

Then a fake bank alert, Medicare scam or "urgent" car warranty pitch tries to hijack your day.So when the Federal Communications Commission says it wants to crack down on illegal robocalls, most people will probably say, "Finally."FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said in a recent press release, "We must bring meaningful robocall relief...

Fujifilm’s X Half is even more whimsical with a $300 price cut
Fujifilm’s X Half digital camera wasn’t designed to replace your main camera, though you’d be forgiven for assuming it was with its ludicrous $850 price. However, the company recently reduced the MSRP to $649.99, and is now knocking an additional $100 off through June 28th.

Adorama is also discounting it to the same price and throwing in a free accessory pack, which includes...
ElliQ is a surprisingly helpful companion robot for older adults
A week before the ElliQ robot arrived, a neurologist told me we need to rebalance my mom's life.
