Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4: Unfolding a grand experience
Samsung has been betting a lot on its foldables. In the past few years, it has made iterative improvements to its foldable Z series of smartphones. Samsung is betting so much on it that it has streamlined its product line-up and discontinued the popular note series. Inspired by the ‘bigger is always better' mantra, Samsung’s relentless attempt to make screens bigger has somewhat paid off. At least that’s what we felt from using the latest flagship Galaxy Z Fold4. Although we had our hands on the device for just a week, we tried to make the best use of the phone by making it our daily driver.

Toyota Axio or Honda Grace: Which one should you go for?
If you have a budget of Tk. 20-22 lakh and planning to buy a mid-sized daily driver sedan to get around the city, you either have to seek the second-hand market for old Premallions, which is always a gamble to buy or you could play a bit safer and get your hands on reconditioned vehicles such as the Toyota Axio or Honda Grace. These old reliables are among the most popular cars even today, getting more and more common around Dhaka city and cementing themselves as the top choice among the budget-oriented reconditioned markets. However, with the same price range and so many similar features, which do you go for? Toyota Axio or Honda Grace? Here are some key differences to consider.

Samsung and Intel developing world's first 'sliding PC'
Intel and Samsung Display are developing "slidable" PCs. Samsung Display CEO JS Choi made an appearance on stage during today's Intel Innovation keynote to demonstrate a prototype PC that transforms from a 13-inch tablet into a 17-inch display.
Prior to Microsoft abandoning its plans for Windows 10X on foldables, Intel had been experimenting with new PC form factors for years and was initially getting ready for a dual-screen and foldable future. It's still unclear how Intel will make slidable PCs a reality, but these new form factors urgently need the software and apps to shine.
With a flexible display and a sliding mechanism, the prototype device that Samsung Display and Intel unveiled today essentially transforms a 13-inch tablet into a 17-inch monitor. On this display, Intel was quick to show off its new Unison software, which aims to link computers powered by Intel to smartphones, including iPhones.
There is currently no information from Intel or Samsung Display about when the slidable PC will become a reality.

Serious security flaws found in WhatsApp
Two serious security flaws have been discovered in WhatsApp, according to a report in The Sun. The report claims that by exploiting the security flaws, cybercriminals can remotely take over WhatsApp users' accounts at will. WhatsApp has reportedly quickly fixed the errors but due to the bugs remaining in the old version, users can get exposed still.
By exploiting the flaws in the Android and iOS versions of WhatsApp, hackers can send malicious video files anonymously during video calls. Hackers can then gain control of the user's phone and their data when they open the files.
The critical flaws were first identified by members of WhatsApp's internal security team, reports The Sun. In addition to publishing warnings on their website, WhatsApp has requested to use the updated version as soon as possible.

The digital revolution of today has altered how travellers book trips and decide where to go. Travellers can now research potential destinations, find travel advisors, and even use social media platforms as their main form of communication in place of email. As we, travellers, become more tech-savvy than ever before, we are increasingly beginning to rely on digital platforms like TikTok to plan and influence our travel itineraries.
