Samsung's foldable lineup is getting a new member. Eventually. At some point. Samsung's tri-fold hardware has been so elusive you'd be forgiven for thinking of it as vaporwave despite the rumor mill and Samsung itself confirming it's coming. Now, it has been officially teased, though we still don't know much about it.

Samsung Galaxy phones have some of the best cameras on the market, and if you know what you’re doing, Pro Mode can take your photos to the next level. However, that’s the problem—not everyone knows what they’re doing. The controls are not exactly user-friendly, and Samsung is working on something that could make it better.

If you’ve spent more than five minutes in modern dating, you’ve probably heard whispers about the Are We Dating The Same Guy? Facebook groups. Open only to women who must pass vetting checks to be admitted, they are designed to share information about men they’re dating.  Now, new platforms like The Tea — an app where women can anonymously post and search reviews of men, verify identities with photo checks, and even run background searches — are turning dating whisper networks into something slicker, more searchable, and more permanent.

The Tea has exploded in popularity, climbing to the very top of the Apple App Store charts and reportedly amassing more than four million users. But its rapid rise has been overshadowed by controversy, including two major security breaches and the recent news that the app has been removed by Apple from the App Store in all markets.

These groups are pitched as a form of protection, where women can warn other women about toxic or dangerous behaviour, or used to post warnings about men they’re dating. Women upload pictures of men they’re seeing and ask: “Anyone else dating him?” The comments flood in, sometimes revealing patterns of cheating or even serious crimes. Other times, the complaints touch more on poor dating etiquette, such as “he never texts back.”

Scrolling on social media, it's not uncommon to see screenshots of dating app message exchanges or TikTokkers live-vlogging their love lives. Dating has moved out of the private realm, becoming more akin to a public trial. 

I can't help but wonder: are these platforms making dating safer, or just making us all more suspicious?

So, let’s take it to court (figuratively, not literally).

The case for

Lalalaletmeexplain, a relationships educator who’s spent years on the frontline of dating discourse, says the groups were built out of necessity. “They were intended to be safe spaces built around sisterhood and solidarity. They exist to stop men from hurting women,” she explains. “And in many ways, that’s exactly what they are.”

She’s seen posts that uncovered men who were secretly engaged while dating multiple other women, men accused of sexual assault, even one man who was caught trying to meet up with a 15-year-old. “These groups have genuinely protected people,” she says. “They’ve saved women from fraud, from abuse, from men who could have seriously harmed them.”

The groups are tightly moderated. Entry requires vetting, rules forbid screenshots of anything you see in the group, and members who breach confidentiality are banned. That structure creates a sense of safety, particularly for women who have been through painful dating experiences. It also fosters community. “You’ll see women giving each other incredible advice,” says Lalala. “They can remind women who feel unworthy for being single that actually, there’s nothing wrong with them. Sometimes these groups even make women feel happier to be single.”

And at their simplest, they save time. Instead of spending months figuring out if someone’s trustworthy, you can post a picture of a man and find out in hours if six other women are also dating him. In a world where dating often feels like a chore, that speed can be reassuring.

Men’s dating coach David Chambers sees that appeal. “We’ve lost the sense of close-knit community where you could vet people,” he says. “In the past you’d meet through friends, work, or at church. Someone could vouch for them. That’s mostly gone now. Everyone’s a stranger.” From his perspective, the justification behind these groups — protecting women — is completely valid. “Poor behaviour by men is a big part of why these groups exist. Anything that’s a good idea will be open to misuse as it grows, but for the most part, they serve a purpose.”

The case against

But noble intent doesn’t mean no collateral damage.

These groups aren’t moderated by trained professionals. A man might be labelled a “red flag” because he took too long to reply to a text or didn’t want a second date. Lalala says she’s seen “awful advice” and “unhinged questions” get posted. “People aren’t always consistent. Should this really be about minor quirks, or about serious red flags?”  Lalala adds: “One woman’s long-term ex was posted with comments about him being patronising. That wasn’t her truth. But it became the narrative.”

She’s also noticed racist and fetishising language, homophobia, and misogyny in some groups. “I’ve seen Black men discussed in really objectifying ways,” she says. And while the goal is safety, sometimes the effect is the opposite.

Posts are subjective by design. They rely on the feelings and interpretations of the woman posting them, and people can be messy, emotional, or vengeful. “I’ve seen men falsely accused of being married, or of serious crimes,” says Lalala. Conflating poor dating etiquette with abusive behaviour could prove devastating when reputations are at stake. Media lawyer Mark Stephens says, “If someone is identifiable, posts could be defamatory. I’ve seen wealthy men use libel laws to silence allegations, even when they may be true. But for ordinary people, defending yourself is expensive. If false claims spread, the damage is done before you can fight back.”

Even if a man does consider suing for libel, invasion of privacy or harassment, it’s rarely worth the cost. “The law is a blunt instrument,” says Stephens. “It’s often better to tackle these things interpersonally. But that’s not easy when the accusations are public.”

Chambers points out that people post about behaviour like ghosting or poor communication without context. “Maybe that person was going through something. Maybe they were actually a good communicator who didn’t meet that individual’s expectations. It doesn’t account for people changing or growing. We want to outsource our judgment because we don’t trust our own. But judging character is something we need to learn to do ourselves.”

He warns these spaces can even encourage paranoia. “People who are more anxious can lack trust in their own decisions, often because they’ve been hurt. They seek out others’ opinions, but that can make dating feel more unsafe than it really is.”

So while the groups aim to protect women, they can also breed fear, misinformation, and mistrust.

Expert testimony

So what’s the path forward?

Stephens believes we need clearer lines between criminal behaviour and what he calls “moral opprobrium” — essentially, publicly shaming people for being a bad date. “There’s a big difference between criminality, where there’s public interest in disclosure, and just bad behaviour. The impact of conflating the two is disproportionate.”

Chambers agrees. “If I were dating, I wouldn’t be worried about being posted, I believe I behave with integrity,” he says. “But I could still be misrepresented. These platforms don’t account for growth or context. They villanise people in the worst version of someone else’s story.”

Even Lalala, who sees their value, thinks there need to be stronger guardrails. “If this is about sharing information about men, then the women contributing need to be vetted too. And it should be about serious red flags — not just someone being a bit flaky.”

The verdict

As a man, it’s hard not to feel conflicted about all this.

I’ve behaved badly at times when I’ve dated. I’ve gone through periods in my life when dating has felt overwhelming and I’ve decided to take a step back, without communicating well. If I’d been posted in one of these groups back then, it might have looked damning. But it wouldn’t have been the full story. People are complicated. We make mistakes. 

I’ve heard stories of women disclosing medical details on these groups, outing the fact the person they’re dating has an STI like Chlamydia, the sharing of which is deeply unethical.

And yet, I can’t ignore that these groups exist because men cause real harm. Men can (and do)  cheat, lie, assault, and manipulate. Women deserve to protect themselves from that. 

What worries me is what happens next. When reputations are on trial in real time, judged by a jury of strangers, subjectivity gets treated as fact. Trust between men and women feels like it’s already incredibly fragile, and the presence of these groups is only ever going to create more of a disconnect.  

We should be creating systems to protect people from genuine harm, not platforms that invite us to treat every ex or bad experience as evidence. Dating will always carry risk, but if every misstep becomes a public trial in the court of public opinion, we move from accountability into paranoia — and ultimately that means men and women will pull back from dating altogether. 

OpenAI's ChatGPT will soon have a digital wallet built into it, courtesy of Paypal.

CNBC exclusively reported the news on Tuesday, noting that people will be able to purchase goods, and companies will be able to sell on the AI platform.

"We've got hundreds of millions of loyal PayPal wallet holders who now will be able to click the 'Buy with PayPal button' on ChatGPT and have a safe and secure checkout experience,” PayPal CEO Alex Chriss told CNBC.

There has been lots of recent news for OpenAI and ChatGPT. The company last week debuted its own AI browser, ChatGPT Atlas. The idea is that ChatGPT's memory of your interactions and the chatbot's capabilities are included in the browser. There are also concerns, naturally, about the accuracy of results, considering AI tools have a tendency to to spit out confidently incorrect information.

It seems like not that long ago chatbots were just an interesting curiosity. But now they're attempting to become the primary tool for navigating the web and building out the ability to drain your cash at the click of a button.

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been a huge sales success since its launch in June, and people are starting to buy games to go along with the new console.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A launched simultaneously on Switch and Switch 2 couple of weeks ago and is knocking it out of the park, sales-wise, according to a couple of different sources. The first is The Pokémon Company itself, which claimed in a press release (via GameSpot) that the game sold 5.8 million copies within a week of launch. That's not horribly surprising, but analyst Mat Piscatella of Circana also pointed out on Bluesky that the game had the biggest physical retail launch of any video game in the U.S. in at least two and a half years.

SEE ALSO: Nintendo is bringing back the reviled 'Virtual Boy' as a Switch accessory

For context, Piscatella said the last video game to do as well as Legends: Z-A is doing at brick-and-mortar stores was The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, another Nintendo exclusive, in May of 2023. Again, that doesn't even factor in digital sales, which make up a huge portion of all modern video game purchases. Piscatella didn't provide specific numbers, but as GameSpot pointed out, Tears of the Kingdom sold 10 million units (across physical and digital) in three days. Suffice it to say, Pokémon is doing quite well for itself if it's even remotely in that territory.

The Switch 2's lineup of exclusives is slowly rounding into form now, with Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, Kirby Air Riders, and Metroid Prime 4 all dropping before the end of the year, too. Those may not all do Pokémon numbers, but expect Nintendo to be sitting pretty by the time its next quarterly earnings report comes out.

SAVE $700: The Anker Solix C2000 Gen 2 is on sale at Amazon for $799, down from the normal price of $1,499. That's a 47% discount on the new model.

Portable power stations come with year-round benefits. They're practically essential to take camping to keep phones charged and they're a lifeline when the power goes out at home. For those who have not yet made the investment in portable power, Anker has a new model that just launched today. Not only is packed with power, it's on a steep intro discount.

As of its launch on Oct. 28, the Anker Solix C2000 Gen 2 is on sale for $799 at Amazon, marked down from the list price of $1,499. That's a 47% discount on the new model that saves shoppers $700.

In testing, I've consistently found that Anker makes some top-tier portable power stations. Not only do they offer user-friendly features, the brand is always reaching for offering a smaller portable power station that charges quicker. That's exactly what they've come up with for the C2000 Gen 2.

In overall dimensions, the C2000 Gen 2 with its 2,048Wh LiFePO4 battery is hardly any larger in overall size compared to the Solix C1000 which offers 1,056Wh. When it comes to weight, however, the C2000 Gen 2 is a definitely chunkier. You're looking at 41 pounds compared to the C1000's weight of about 28 pounds. But that's to be expected since batteries are heavy.

The C2000 Gen 2 is also an ideal model if you're looking for portable power that can handle a 30amp plug. That could come in handy for those who are planning on winter RV or van adventures. The C2000 Gen 2 can handle sustained power output of 2,400W with a peak clocked in at 4,000W.

In terms of what 2,048Wh looks like IRL, Anker says this will keep your WiFi router online for 105 hours or keep the refrigerator cooling for 32 hours. Both of those are ideal in a power outage. The portable power station has five standard AC plugs, one 30amp, three USB-C ports (maximum 140W), and one USB-A.

Snag this brand new model while it's launching at a discount before the price shoots back to normal MSRP. You'll be saving $700 on the Solix C2000 Gen 2 right off the bat while ensuring the refrigerator can stay on during the next power outage.

Apple TV might’ve dropped the “+” from their brand just in time for November, but that doesn’t mean their quality of content has changed one bit.

SAVE $200: As of Oct. 28, the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air with the M4 chip and 256GB of storage is back down to its best price ever of $999. That's $200 or 17% off its list price.

While we love the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air for students and bargain shoppers, we think the 15-inch model is really Apple's sweet spot for most people. Even at full cost, Mashable's Stan Schroeder labeled it "the best-buy Apple laptop, period." But we're certainly not going to argue with a $200 cheaper price tag.

As of Oct. 28, the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air with the M4 chip, 16GB RAM, and 256GB of storage is back on sale once again for just $999 in every color variety. That's 17% or $200 off its list price and aligns with its best price on record in most colors. The sky blue option very briefly dipped even lower to $969 once before, but it's the only color to ever see that extreme price drop.

The 15-inch Air isn't just our favorite MacBook for most people. It's also one of our favorite laptops of 2025, period. As Mashable's resident laptop expert Haley Henschel put it, "it's beautiful, long-lasting, unexpectedly peppy, and priced very fairly, making it super easy to recommend for basically anyone wanting a near-perfect ultraportable." Its power alone is seriously impressive. It notched a multi-core score of 14,992 in Geekbench 6's CPU test, our primary speed benchmark. That's less than two percent slower than the M4 MacBook Pro (and about 17 percent slower than the M5 Pro). For a non-Pro device, that's pretty wild. Our reviewer called it "almost overkill."

Besides the excellent price and processing power, the M4 Air also includes an improved 12MP FaceTime camera and open-lid support for two external displays, so you can still use its own screen when it's hooked up to monitors.

For creative professionals running intense editing apps and software regularly, we still recommend the MacBook Pro. For everyone else, we say go with the 15-inch M4 MacBook Air — especially while it's on sale for $200 off.

These impressive earbuds are, much like Apple's lineup, stem-based, with an attractive chrome finish that extends to their charging case. They're also some of Samsung's smartest and most capable pairs to date. They can adapt to the sound in your environment and automatically filter out noise if you need to focus and enhance audio when you need to pay attention. They can also adjust audio based on how the buds fit in your ears.

Beyond their fantastic baseline audio prowess, they also have a special interpreter mode that you can use to get real-time translations directly in your ear. That includes audio from calls, outside sources, and real-time conversations if you need it.

With crisp audio, lengthy battery life, and a comfortable, custom fit in your ears, these buds offer a premium experience that you'll love using. If that sounds like something you're looking for, grab them at this price and don't look back.

You can add one or more emergency contacts to your iPhone so that they can be easily contacted (or contact you) in urgent situations. This takes five minutes to set up, but it could be one of the most important settings on your device.

The latest Mac Security Survey found that most Mac users no longer believe their Mac is safe from hackers. They want more support and believe security software has become necessary. 

The company behind the survey, MacPaw, listened to macOS users’ concerns and launched a new app, Moonlock. MacPaw has been developing macOS and iOS software for over 17 years.

Moonlock challenges the old ways of cybersecurity with an app designed to be more human. It empowers users with knowledge and control, replacing anxiety with clarity. Here's how it works.

Hackers often succeed by tricking users  

Whether it be SMS phishing campaigns like the new toll scam, malvertising lures, fake sites, malicious downloads, or social media scams, the majority of threats that can currently breach a Mac rely heavily on tricking users.

These evolving tactics, combined with daily breaking news on cybersecurity threats, are the reasons why a majority (68 percent) of Mac users want to talk to someone qualified on online safety, the security survey found. But 32 percent said they believe it’s difficult to find a reliable source.

The Moonlock app, through its System Protection and Security Advisor features, fills in this gap.

System Protection and Security Advisor are like having a macOS expert by your side Credit: Moonlock

Once Moonlock is installed, its real-time protection will automatically start looking for active malware on the machine. This is when the app will recommend that users open the System Protection and Security Advisor features.

System Protection takes a snapshot of the user's system settings and guides them on what can be improved, from privacy permissions to sharing settings to encryption. Using this feature, any user, no matter how tech-savvy they are, can turn risky settings off and enable built-in macOS settings that protect them but are not enabled by default.

Then there's Security Advisor, a culmination of years of trial and error in human cybersecurity. The feature is a collection of simple but powerful tips for good digital practices. Examples include "how to recognize a real encrypted messaging app" or "why old user accounts might increase exposure to cyber threats."

Both features add much-needed explanations and guidance for Mac users, leaving behind anxiety and gaining confidence by knowing exactly what your security software is doing. 

Software that keeps up in an evolving macOS threat landscape 

Mac stealer malware like AMOS, which saw a 300 percent jump in detections in August, can bypass Apple's built-in antivirus for Macs, steal user data, and empty their e-wallets. Despite this threat being on the rise, it is far from being Mac users’ primary concern.

Nearly half of Mac users (46 percent) feel the need for additional security software that can keep up with online threats. Their top concerns? Personal data breaches, account and password hacking, and identity theft.

Moonlock’s real-time protection will watch over every file users interact with, and can detect and move to Quarantine any malware that reaches a Mac through suspicious links, phishing sites, and fake Apple security alerts.

Using the Malware Scanner feature, users can perform deep, quick, or customized scans for threats. It also allows for automated scans on a schedule, which helps users maintain good security habits by regularly checking for malicious files.

The Moonlock app also comes with a built-in VPN and a Network Inspector coded to mitigate excessive data collection and data transferring. This extra layer of security provides enhanced privacy to users, whether they are browsing or on social media.

Try Moonlock for yourself today 

The Moonlock app takes a new approach to cybersecurity by combining malware scanning features with tools that help protect users against social engineering scams. Mac users say they are concerned about security; Moonlock gives users the technology they need to take control and ownership of their digital lives.

Samsung's tri-folding phone may actually be real, folks.

The rumored device was shown in the flesh by Samsung at the K-Tech Showcase event ahead of the APEC Summit (via Chosun/Digitaltrends).

As expected, the phone unfolds vertically twice, extend from a fairly regular-sized smartphone into a decent-sized tablet.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

As is often the case with these early teasers, the audience that was fortunate enough to see the phone was not allowed to touch it or view it up close as it was placed in a glass display case.

It also appears that Samsung didn't share any additional details about the phone.

The Samsung TriFold phone (as it may or may not be called) has been the subject of rumor mills for a while, though it now certainly looks a little more real. Expected specs include a 6.5-inch cover display, a 10-inch interior display (when fully unfolded), a Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip, 16GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and a powerful, 200-megapixel camera with 100x digital zoom.

Even if you have a very capable smartphone and a nice laptop, a tablet can still be worth adding to your tech arsenal. A touchscreen that can be carried anywhere makes for a portable studio for creatives, a crucial sidekick for frequent travelers, and an e-reader for book lovers. These days, tablets are basically just laptops anyway.

Whether you're looking for a kid-friendly tablet or a compact laptop replacement, there are plenty of excellent options out there. If you're not exactly sure which tablet you should buy, we've got one simple question to help narrow down your search: Are you an Apple person? We tested the entire iPad lineup, and though iPads are our preferred tablets in 2025, we also love some of the best tablets from Samsung and Microsoft. So, whatever your preferences, we've got a tablet to recommend.

As we mosey on into November and gear up for all the new, end-of-the-year content that’s in store for us, we can’t help but look back at the exciting releases we’ve seen on Paramount+ this year. From new series premieres and seasons of ongoing favorites to true-life documentaries and original films, most have been rather spectacular, but all have been quite memorable.
