If you're planning to pick up a copy of GTA 6 next month, you may want to consider investing in one of the best internal PS5 SSDs, because we now know the file size for this upcoming AAA blockbuster.

According to X user PlayStation Game Size — which is a pretty credible handle if you ask me — GTA 6 will require a whopping 210GB of space when it touches down on November 19. The good news is the leaker says you'll be able to pre-load the game from November 12. Better start making some room.

Hacker claims Samsung TVs listen for dog and baby noises to sell you ads

After all the uproar over LG TVs reportedly spying on users, it would be unfair to assume other manufacturers weren't up to the same tricks. And according to a hacker on Reddit that reverse-engineered his Samsung smart TV, the brands targeted adverts come from: "on-device AI listening for your dog and baby, watching what you watch, and borrowing your soundbar's mic if the TV doesn't have one."

Scary stuff. But is it all that surprising? Samsung has previously hailed Family Care and Pet Care (listening out for babies and dogs) as selling points for its sets. The company has already confirmed it's discontinuing the former due to false positives. Still, if you're concerned that your Smart TV collects a surprising amount of your data — here’s how to stop it.

Analyst responds to iPhone Duo Hingegate

As more reports reveal new details about cracks in the iPhone Duo display, IDC analyst Francisco Jeronimo speculated on what it could mean for Apple and how the company should respond.

"What matters now is how the company responds. We all remember when Samsung experienced problems with the original Galaxy Fold in 2019, but it also showed that a fast and transparent response can contain the damage to a category," Jeronimo said.

"Apple said that any customer with problems should ask for a replacement, which is the right first step. At $1,999, Apple is positioning the Duo as a premium alternative to established foldables, and how it handles this first-generation issue will shape buyer confidence in the category well beyond its own sales."
