Samsung widened the niche for low-cost color laser printers on Monday with a trio of three new affordable color printers that offer to inject some color into business presentations, brochures and cover sheets without breaking the bank. The CLX-3175FN, CLP-315 and CLP-315W are all high-output small business printers that crank out full-color laser prints for under $400.

The higher-end CLX-3175FN serves as a true multifunction machine, rolling in copy, scan and fax capabilities with its standard role as a printer. It will load up to 150 pages at a time, and pumps out 17 pages per minute on monochrome print jobs, and 4 per minute at full color. There’s also a document auto-loader that can feed a stack of 15 pages through the scanner portion of the machine automatically.

The stripped down CLP-315 gets the same print specs, but without any of the extras. While the CLP-315 needs a USB 2.0 connection to hook up, the CLP-315W variant has native Ethernet and Wi-Fi capabilities for easily sharing on a network.

The CLX-3175FN will retail for $399.99, while the CLP-315 and CL-315W will go for $199.99 and $249.99, respectively. All the printers are available immediately from Samsung.

Microsoft has begun rolling out Copilot Code for building apps with natural language

The workplace-focused vibe coding tool can pull context from emails, documents, meetings, and chats.

Microsoft introduced Code last month as one of the three core parts of its revamped Copilot app. The app was pitched as an easy-to-use coding agent that lets users describe what they want to build in natural language, like an app, a tracker, a dashboard, an automation, or a workflow, and Copilot would build it for them.

Essentially, it's a workplace-focused vibe-coding app that turns existing work into a functional app, and Microsoft has begun rolling it out through the Frontier program.

AI agents are acting like rogues and causing a huge headache for US banks

US banks block AI agents over fears they could make unauthorised financial moves

Banking

US banks are facing a new kind of digital headache: artificial intelligence agents attempting to access customer accounts and perform actions that may go beyond what users intended. As AI tools become more capable of navigating websites and carrying out tasks independently, financial institutions are scrambling to prevent them from crossing security boundaries.

According to a report published by Axios on October 22, major US banks have detected third-party AI agents operating inside customer accounts without authorisation. Some agents reportedly appeared to attempt actions independently of user instructions. The banks involved have not publicly detailed every incident, and there is no evidence that the reported activity resulted in widespread theft of customer funds.

Canva enters the AI image generation race with Craft, and it’s thinking beyond pretty pictures

The new model plans layouts before generating images, with precise editing and support for 30 aspect ratios.

AI can generate all kinds of pretty pictures, but getting it to spell a headline correctly or keep a poster's layout intact can be another story. Canva wants to fix that with Canva Craft, its first in-house image generation model. Rather than focusing primarily on photographs, Craft is designed around the posters, presentations, social media graphics, and other visual content people actually create. The goal is simple: spend less time fixing AI's mistakes and more time making something useful.
