Estonia: The Uncommon EU Country Opposing Bans on Children’s Social Media Use

In short: Estonia and Belgium are the only two EU member states to have declined the Jutland Declaration, an October 2025 pan-European commitment to restrict children’s access to social media. Estonia’s ministers argue that age-based bans are unenforceable, that children will find ways around them, and that the correct approach is to enforce the GDPR against […]

AI can screen 15 million molecules daily, but it still can’t cure Alzheimer’s.

The drug discovery revolution is real but radically overstated, the health chatbots are a documented hazard, and the diseases that matter most remain stubbornly unsolved. At Novartis, sometime in late 2025, a team of researchers working on Huntington’s disease used generative AI to computationally design 15 million potential compounds for a type of molecule called […]

Samsung Phones to Discontinue Beloved Customization Option

Your Samsung Device Is Losing A Fun Customization Option With One UI 8.5

Samsung, recognized for its extensively customizable One UI, has subtly removed the functionality to utilize third-party or custom fonts with the March 2026 security update, impacting devices operating on One UI 8.5 or One UI 8.0. This alteration stems from a security patch that addressed a glitch permitting custom fonts without adequate cryptographic verification. While Samsung perceives this as a security threat, users can still obtain fonts via the Galaxy Store, although options are predominantly paid. In spite of this restriction, Samsung devices continue to provide a range of customization options such as wallpapers and color schemes.

Instagram Launches Comment Editing Functionality with Constraints

For an extended period, any error you made in an Instagram comment would linger forever as a blemish on your personal typo meter. Anyone who stumbled upon that specific post and noticed that comment would be aware of your blunder. Admittedly, that’s somewhat exaggerated, and mistakes do occur; they are truly not that significant, and everyone slips up occasionally. Nevertheless, the primary issue was that there hadn’t been a method to modify your comments. Until this moment, that is. 

Starting April 2026, you can at last modify Instagram comments, but only within the first fifteen minutes. With the launch of Instagram version 424.1, an edit button will appear next to each new comment you submit. If you decide to click that button, you will be allowed to adjust the content for up to fifteen minutes after it initially posted. You can revise as many times as you wish during that fifteen-minute frame, but after it’s gone, the edit button will vanish. When you amend a comment, others can see that it has been altered, but they won’t be privy to the original content.
