A buggy Samsung smart home update broke old Galaxy S10 phones, but there’s a fix

A Samsung smart home software update released this week put some users’ Galaxy S10 and Note 10 (including e, Lite, Plus, and 5G versions) and A90 and M51 smartphones in an infinite boot loop, rendering their devices useless. After some sleuthing, Reddit users narrowed it down to a Samsung SmartThings framework app update that was automatically applied to the devices.According to posts on Reddit, Samsung replaced the buggy update with a new version that won’t brick the five-year-old devices. (The Galaxy S10 series was released in 2019.) Still, some users recommend staying cautious and turning off auto-updates anyway.Samsung service centers in Korea reportedly have a fix for the problem that avoids a factory reset and the associated data

Arc’s ‘better mobile browser’ is now available on Android

After months of waiting, now Android users can take the Arc Search app for a spin. It’s now available as an open beta on the Google Play Store after developers teased an Android version of the app in August.Arc is The Browser Company’s take on web browsing, billing itself as offering better customization options than competitors. The Arc Search app also comes with an AI feature, called “Browse for me,” that searches the web for your query and comes up with a summary based on its sources. The app also automatically archives old tabs, blocks ads by default, and gets rid of data-tracking popups, which has me tempted to switch away from Edge.
