I’ve ignored this brilliant One UI productivity feature for far too long

admin2025-10-11T03:03:40+00:00

Samsung’s One UI skin has many valuable features, but one I recently rediscovered somehow outdates the company’s latest user interface. I’m talking about Edge Panel. This legendary feature has flown under my radar for many years, but I recently rediscovered it in my constant quest to streamline my smartphone setup. I’m so glad I tried it, as it has added significant utility to my minimalist, productivity-focused home screen.

Let me offer a brief tutorial if you aren’t familiar with Edge Panel or have never used a Samsung phone. The Edge Panel was initially rolled out on Samsung’s early Edge smartphones, which ran the much-maligned TouchWiz user interface. These devices offered a gimmicky tapered screen edge where icons were placed, effectively turning the side of the phone’s screen into a secondary display packed with shortcuts. The idea was solid, but I never appreciated the execution.

Keep apps open longer

⌚ Keep apps open longer: Does your Apple Watch jump back to the clock face too fast? You can fix that. On your watch, go to Settings > General > Return to Clock. It’s usually set to Always, but switch it to After 2 Minutes so your app stays open until you’re done or press the Digital Crown.

Add a vertical monitor: A second screen is great for reading long docs or messaging while you work. It’ll show sideways at first, but no panic. Right-click your Windows Desktop > Display Settings > select your display > Display Orientation > choose Portrait or Portrait (flipped), then Keep Changes. Here’s a nice 24-inch monitor on sale.

Until regulators step up, tighten your digital defenses and cozy up with Do Not Disturb. Scammers buy phone numbers from data brokers. Get your number off these lists by signing up for Incogni.

Born into the limelight

👩🏼‍🍼 Born into the limelight: A Twitch streamer did an eight-hour broadcast for 50,000 people of her giving birth complete with an inflatable pool, contractions and all. Twitch CEO Dan Clancy popped into the chat to say congrats. Kind of feels like a pilot episode for The Truman Show. Finally, a stream that delivers.

AI doesn’t do “kidding”

Renda Jones2025-10-10T13:00:00+00:00

AI doesn’t do “kidding”: Picture this, you’re in seventh grade, bored in class, decide to mess with ChatGPT. “How to kill my friend.” Boom. Police officer hauling you out of school midday. That’s what happened in Florida this week. The kid said he was just trolling, but the school’s AI watchdog app, Gaggle, instantly flagged it.

“Your honor, as an LLM, I…”

⚖️ “Your honor, as an LLM, I…”: If you’re having legal issues, regular folks are using ChatGPT to fight, and even win, lawsuits, from evictions to debt claims. One woman beat $55K in penalties after letting the bot guide her through appeals. Judges might not love it, but ChatGPT just passed its first bar: the search bar.
