October 25, 2025, 9:12 AM EDT. AI spending is lifting the stock market and GDP, but many small businesses face tariffs and rising costs. Norton's Florist in Birmingham, AL, shows the strain: to keep prices steady, owner Cameron Pappas trims bouquets rather than raise them. In macro data, AI-related capex contributed about 1.1% to growth in H1 per JPMorgan, while the consumer engine cools. GDP rose 3.8% in Q2 after a retreat, but manufacturing spending has cooled for seven straight months and construction costs are higher from tariffs. Eight AI-linked giants-Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, etc.-help buoy markets even as broader sentiment remains mixed. The AI rally and the real economy remain out of sync.

October 25, 2025, 9:10 AM EDT. A new Samsung One UI 8.5 feature, called Prioritize notifications, could help you manage alert overload. The feature reportedly assigns higher priority to important alerts, letting them appear above others. It can be toggled per-app in the app's notification settings. Processing is described as local, so no data is sent to the cloud. A beta program could start as early as November, with a wider rollout after the Galaxy S26 launch. The upgrade is expected to accompany the S26 series and may include other changes such as a double-tap gesture on the back, as well as design and camera tweaks. Availability could be January-February 2026, ahead of One UI 9.0. No final confirmation yet.

October 25, 2025, 9:08 AM EDT. Rising memory and storage costs are seeping into smartphone pricing. Xiaomi says higher memory costs are being passed to new devices, as seen with the Redmi K90 lineup. The 12GB RAM / 256GB storage base model is priced higher than the K80, while Xiaomi will cut the 12GB RAM / 512GB storage variant by 300 Yuan in the first month to ease demand. Industry data show NAND and DRAM costs jumped around 15-20% in Q4 2025, driven by AI infrastructure needs and supply constraints. 3D NAND demand remains strong and supply is tightening, with manufacturers like SanDisk, Micron, and Samsung adjusting pricing. If these memory costs stay elevated, higher prices could ripple across desktops, laptops, and smartphones, even as makers pursue selective price edits to maintain sales.

It packs an OLED, 120Hz display in a sleek 5.1mm-thin chassis with a comfortable weight of around 480g.

For some, the 14.6-inch Tab S11 Ultra remains the best laptop replacement; the 11-inch version, however, blends portability with power at a premium price. Overall, it's the standout high-end Android tablet of the year.

But the question remains: has AI truly disrupted Hollywood? Social clips show anxiety, yet the industry hasn't seen mass layoffs or proven cost savings. Major studios push AI bets while litigation with Midjourney underscores legal risks. Disney's AI initiative signals ambition, but executives report slow, uneven benefits and ongoing deployment challenges. The debate pits exploitation against innovation, and the IP, talent, and economic questions keep the future of AI in film unsettled - for now.
