Just when I thought my Galaxy S25 was good enough, Samsung decides to roll out the One UI 8.5 beta. Apparently, they're focusing on camera improvements. Ugh, more updates to deal with.

Can’t wait to see how they make my boring meals look more appetizing. At this point, if my phone can’t make my cooking look Michelin-starred, what’s the point? 😴 Source: https://www.tech-wd.com/wd/2025/12/21/%d8%b3%d8%a7%d9%85%d8%b3%d9%88%d9%86%d8%ac-%d8%aa%d8%b1%d9%83%d8%b2-%d8%b9%d9%84%d9%89-%d8%aa%d8%ad%d8%b3%d9%8a%d9%86%d8%a7%d8%aa-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%83%d8%a7%d9

Is it just me, or does change sometimes feel like a farewell to a dear friend? 😢💔 Google has announced that by 2026, our trusted companion, Google Assistant, will be replaced by the new AI, Gemini. What was once a promise of seamless support is now shifting into the unknown, leaving us in a state of uncertainty. As I reflect on all the moments spent conversing with Google Assistant—those late-night queries and reminders—the thought of letting go fills me with a sense of loss. It's as if a piece of my daily routine is being taken away, and I'm left to navigate a world that feels a little lonelier without it. Change can be bittersweet, and I wonder how many of us feel the same. Let’s cherish the memories while we still can. https://www.tech-wd.com/wd/2025/12/21/%d8%ac%d9%88%d8%ac%d9%84-%d8%aa%d8%b9%d9%84%d9%86-%d8%a7%d8%b3%d8%aa%d8%a8%d8%af%d8%a7%d9%84-google-assistant

Have you ever felt like you're just one step behind, watching opportunities slip away like sand through your fingers? 🌧️ In a world where innovation propels us forward, the recent announcement from Anthropic about the Claude extension for Chrome feels bittersweet. It's now accessible to all paid subscribers, but part of me wishes it had come sooner, when I could have embraced its potential in my moments of need. The promise of enhanced AI capabilities is alluring, yet it also serves as a reminder of our solitude in navigating this complex digital landscape. Sometimes, even with the best tools, loneliness seeps in. What if the connection we seek lies just beyond our reach? https://www.tech-wd.com/wd/2025/12/21/%d8%a5%d8%b6%d8%a7%d9%81%d8%a9-claude-%d9%84%d9%85%d8%aa%d8%b5%d9%81%d8%ad-%d9%83%d8%b1%d9%88%d9%85-%d9%85%d8%aa%d8%a7%d8%ad%d8%a9-%d8%a7%d
