Lately, as I’ve been working through stressful hospital visits with family, I’ve encountered something I haven’t in quite awhile. As I hear doctors, nurses, and family say things, I’ll be completely unable to remember them moments later. There’s just too much going on all at once. Early in my career I encountered the same issue. There were just so many new facets of what I was doing entering my head all at once, from many sources, that it was impossible to keep track of it all. If only there were AI notetaking tools that have helped me through this. AI notetaking tools like Plaud Note and Plaud NotePin, which are both 20% off for Prime Day (from $159 to $127 for either device, saving you $32) and available by tapping the button below.

How Plaud’s notetakers can help

The Plaud system has a ton of features, but there are a few that stand out heavily in solving my issues, and yours.

First, let’s take a look at how Plaud handles precision and privacy. We’re (rightfully) skeptical of blindly accepting what an AI tool tells us for important decisions, but Plaud is an advanced tool that will help you get all of the information you need. After a one-press record, you can later view a voice-to-text transcription of the entire meeting, complete with speaker identification. You can even label the speakers with a role such as “boss” or “mother” and your conversations will like a script. This means that, when you’re running through the meeting the next day, and work up a desperate panic trying to figure out if it was your intern or boss that said it’d be a good idea to have everything done by noon on Monday you can search, find the quote, see who said it, and listen to it for complete peace of mind in minutes. And, all of this meeting information is end-to-end encrypted, so the details of your meeting (and the special sauce that makes your business idea a venture capital dream) are secure.

Then, there are the AI features that you know and love, personalized to your meeting data. You can ask Plaud, and it will help jog your memory. What was that thing that Tim wanted to do on Tuesday? What was the funny idea we had for a product launch title? These questions that you want quick answers to and want some intelligent AI insight into are there for the taking. Plus, as your number of meetings, solo monologues, and business chats build up, you’ll want to take advantage of Plaud’s AI smart summaries to keep yourself organized — there are even intelligent template choices for these summaries, quickly switching from lecture format to a consultation.

Finally, if you’re on an international team, you should know that Plaud is thinking about you, too. It’s adept in over 100 languages, with a 97%+ transcription accuracy, from a ‘Ciao’ with your team in Rome to a ‘Nihao!’ in Beijing, Plaud is ready to serve your global team.

A quick look at Plaud Note

It’s battery life gives you the ability to do 30-hours of continuous recording and 60 days on standby.

What differentiates Plaud NotePin

The Plaud NotePin is a thumb-sized device that you can carry with you, put in the middle of your meeting roundtable, wear on your wrist like a smartwatch, clip to your shirt pocket, or even wear as a necklace. It’s a device made for high usability in the real world and is especially good for those us that already have AI notetaking solutions for our digital meetings and aren’t doing many traditional phone calls. It also has 64GB of on-device storage and unlimited cloud storage. It has battery life for 20 hours of continuous recording and 45 days on standby mode.

I visited Infinix’s first global flagship store, and it’s unlike any phone store I’ve been to
Phones, coffee, and robots: Infinix's Bali concept store was a delightful surprise
Infinix Flagship Store

I've been to plenty of smartphone stores over the years, and I can't tell any of these experiences apart. Picture neatly arranged tables, rows of smartphones, and the occasional accessory tucked away in a corner. Honestly, this works for most people who show up knowing exactly what they need and just leave.

So, when Infinix invited me to Bali for the grand opening of its first global flagship concept store, I was curious to see what the company had planned. I expected an elaborate showroom and a few extra things, like eye-catching installations to celebrate the occasion. And while there were a few of these, a lot of the things that actually caught my eye were permanent parts of the store.

Apple’s supply chain power is legendary, but a new report says it’s downright brutal  
Whatever you've heard before, the reality is a lot more shocking.
Teradown view of an iPhone.

Ever wonder just how powerful Apple’s market status is? To give you an idea, here’s a passage from a searing report published by The Wall Street Journal published a few days ago:

“Around the end of 2015, Sandisk refused Apple’s requests to send additional supply because it already had customers willing to pay more. Blevins threatened a Sandisk salesman with retaliation, saying he would have Sandisk’s chief executive, Sanjay Mehrotra, “crawl on his knees” back to Apple, according to a person familiar with the call."

Android’s new ‘SMS of Death’ exploit can crash your phone without you doing anything
A malicious text message can disrupt calls and leave an Android phone stuck in a reboot loop, without the owner knowing what happened.

A security researcher has uncovered a serious vulnerability in Android that allows an attacker to remotely crash a smartphone using a specially crafted text message. Dubbed "SMS of Death," the flaw can disrupt cellular services, disconnect ongoing calls, and even leave a phone stuck in a reboot loop. The troubling part is that the recipient doesn't have to interact with it at all.

The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-58882, was discovered by security researcher Mark Blaszczyk, who first notified Google about it in May. On October 29, he published his findings alongside a working demonstration, after successfully reproducing the attack on Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy smartphones. Google has already developed a fix, but its availability across Android devices is another matter.
