Microsoft is inching closer to bringing tabs to File Explorer for Windows 11. After years of shipping flagship phones with Qualcomm Snapdragon or Samsung Exynos processors, Samsung may be looking to use MediaTek chips for its next-gen lineup. Google continues to try to walk the line between providing users with tools to manage their privacy… and making most of its money by selling targeted ads. And Amazon is raising the price Prime members have to pay for its music streaming service (it’ll still be cheaper for Prime members than non-members, but not as much cheaper than it used to be).
Here’s a roundup of recent tech news from around the web.
