Samsung's student discount drops Note10 to $879 ($71 off) and Note10+ to $1,017 ($83 off)

While the Galaxy Note10 technically starts at a whopping $949, carriers and retail stores are already pulling out the discounts if you trade in phones, start a new plan, or something else along those lines. If you're a student or teacher, you can get a decent price cut on the Note10, Note10+, and Note10 5G.

Samsung launched its 'Student & Educator Discount Program' earlier this year, which offered 8% off the Galaxy S10 lineup when you made your purchase from Samsung's online store.

Revamped Apple Maps Now Available in Texas, Louisiana, and Southern Mississippi

Last year, Apple announced plans to rebuild its Maps app with its own first-party data. The overall look and feel of Apple Maps is mostly the same, but zooming and panning reveals more details like grass, trees, sports fields, and parking lots. Apple is also focused on making search results more relevant.


The improvements first rolled out in Northern California in July 2018, followed by Hawaii and Southern California in November 2018, and Arizona, New Mexico, and the Las Vegas metropolitan area in April 2019.

Now, the updated data is available across Texas, Louisiana, and the southern half of Mississippi, as Apple continues its pattern of rolling out the updated maps in adjacent continental U.S. states. Zooming into these regions displays more details and greenery in Apple Maps across the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

At WWDC 2019, Apple said the updated maps will roll out to the entire United States by the end of the year, followed by additional countries in 2020.

Pixel C gets mysterious OTA update from beyond the grave

Google's last Android tablet, the Pixel C, reached end-of-life back this June. Device owners can't rely on receiving regular security updates anymore, making the device more and more dangerous in daily use. Google doesn't appear to be completely done with the Pixel C, though. Some people have received an OTA, but it's not exactly clear what has changed.

Judging from the minor bump in version number (OPM8.190605.003 to .005), not too much is going on with the 8.1MB big update.
