LinkedIn AI Job Hunt Just Got Crazy Easy
LinkedIn added a new tool that helps people find jobs with everyday language instead of filters or keywords. The company wants job hunting to feel more like a normal chat between friends. Users can tell the system what kind of work they want and let the computer find matches. This makes searching easier for everyone who hates clicking through lots of options. The AI looks at your skills and what you say you want. Job expert Zara Easton thinks this will change how people discover new careers. She believes the tool connects what people can do with what they hope to become. Premium members can use this feature right away if they speak English. Other people need to switch their settings to Global English until later this week. LinkedIn...
Beelink GTR9 Pro Mini PC Wields Strix Halo 128GB RAM
Beelink just released two small but mighty computers. These mini PCs pack AMD Strix Halo chips with 16 cores and 32 threads for serious power. The GTR9 Pro and GTR9 AI models feature the top Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor with strong built-in graphics. Users can load these tiny machines with up to 128 GB of memory, making them good for AI tasks. These computers offer many connection options, like USB4 ports, and likely come with WiFi 7.

Microsoft Crushes FTC to Secure Call of Duty Deal
Microsoft won against the FTC appeal about the Activision Blizzard deal. The three judges from the 9th Circuit Court ruled that the first court made the right call last year. They agreed the FTC failed to prove Microsoft would keep Call of Duty away from PlayStation or make bad versions for it. The court also sided with Microsoft on game library issues since Activision never put games there before anyway. The panel said the FTC did not show how the merger would hurt cloud gaming either. This cleared the path for Microsoft to finish its $68.7 billion purchase, which happened last October. Fears about making games only for Xbox turned out to be wrong. Microsoft went the other way instead, bringing its games to PlayStation and Nintendo...

Galaxy G Fold Rips Off Z Fold 7 Design in Leak
Samsung plans to make a three-screen phone called the Galaxy G Fold. The company has not set a release date despite earlier claims about production timing.
