Banned camera, smartwatches, Claude hack, medical hub, annoying Windows, Amazon refund, Galaxy Z Flip 8, headlights and Dolly Parton. My Webcam has been glitching in the last week or so. I don’t think anything is wrong with the camera itself, my guess is the driver needs an update or it is just generally something software related. This certainly isn’t ideal when I have a Zoom call and my camera isn’t working or simply goes in and out. If the camera truly is on its last legs, I guess I’ll have to find a replacement. In this week’s news, there are various looks at smartwatches and foldable phones. Check out all the included stories to get caught up.
