Samsung has never committed to building full-on augmented reality (AR) glasses, but a pair of conceptual videos that have been leaked on Twitter by WalkingCat suggest the company is envisioning a few interesting ideas in that regard. The videos look exactly like something Samsung would make, with one of them showing how one might navigate the user interface.

Microsoft is adding machine learning-powered text predictions to Word next month. According to Neowin, which first spotted text predictions in Word, Microsoft has put this feature on its roadmap and plans to launch it for all Word users on Windows next month.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS:
Word predicts what words you want to type next. Suggestions can be accepted/rejected with the Tab/Escape key. The feature can be turned off at will. Predicting what you wanna type nextThe feature will show predictions as you type, giving you the option to accept the suggested word by pressing the Tab key or reject it by hitting Escape. This isn't a mandatory feature because people will be able to turn it off at will in their Word preferences.
Microsoft originally announced text predictions in Word last year.
Your data does not leave the tenant boundary. Text predictions use a machine learning model to make suggestions based on the text you have typed in the current document or email. The content is not stored or seen by any human unless donated as part of the feedback mechanism.
Text prediction learns and improves over time
It's unclear whether the same feature might appear in Word for Mac. For what it's worth, Microsoft remains committed to the Mac platform: It recently announced that Office 2021 will be launch across Windows and macOS platforms later this year.
Text predictions in Word could speed up document creation and help “users write more efficiently by predicting text quickly, timely and accurately”, Microsoft hopes. This sounds very similar to the same feature that recently rolled out to Outlook for Windows users.

Thanks to all the exciting tidbits of jailbreak-centric news recently, from the teasers of a working jailbreak on iOS 14 to the release of a kernel-level exploit called cicuta_verosa for iOS 14.3 and below, it seems almost as if the jailbreak community is having an epiphany.
In this roundup, we’ll go over all the latest jailbreak tweak releases and jailbreak-centric news from this past week, ranging from Monday, February 15th to Sunday, February 22nd. As usual, we’ll kick everything off by talking about our favorite releases first before finally moving on to an outline of everything else afterward.
The "streaming wars" is still an ongoing effort. Companies like the AT&T-owned Warner Bros., Netflix, Disney, Paramount, and so many others all vying for some of the money you earn every month. To do that, it all centers around one thing: content. Apple jumped in, too, but, unlike those other companies it's missing one thing: content.
A lot has been happening in the jailbreak community with regard to iOS & iPadOS 14 in just the past couple of weeks. Not only have we witnessed jailbreak teasers on iOS 14.0 and 14.3 devices, but a new kernel exploit for iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.3 called cicuta_virosa recently dropped. This means that a public jailbreak release supporting all devices on the aforementioned firmware versions could be just around the corner.
Given everything that appears to be going on, it seemed like a good time to turn the spotlight toward a rather interesting development known as project Manticore. At face value, it appears to be an upcoming jailbreak tool based on the new cicuta_virosa kernel exploit for iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.3.
Earlier in the month, security researcher @pattern_F_ from the Ant Security Lab Tweeted a demo video of what appeared to be a successful jailbreak attempt on an iPhone 11 running iOS 14.0. It was later revealed that the exploit used would potentially work on iOS & iPadOS firmware versions up to and including 14.3.
While it was unclear whether @pattern_F_ would release the aforementioned work to the general public, the news was quickly drowned out by the subsequent release of the cicuta_virosa kernel exploit for iOS & iPadOS 12.0-14.3 by @ModernPwner.
