Samsung has expanded the Galaxy Buds lineup with its first pair of clip-on wireless earbuds. The Galaxy Buds On will likely appeal to runners, cyclists and hikers as — like other open-ear options — they clip around the outer ear allowing you to hear your surroundings as well as the content.

The Galaxy Buds On utilize Qualcomm's Snapdragon S7 Gen 1 Sound Platform and feature a Class-D amplifier. Samsung claims up to 9.5 hours of continuous music playback on a single charge. At present, the Galaxy Buds On are only available in Samsung's native South Korea but the company has confirmed it will be bringing them to global markets soon.

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.
