Tech Bytes: X Returns to Brazil

The ban on social media platform X has lifted in Brazil after the company paid a $5 million dollar fine. Samsung ends updates for the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 phone and the Tab A7 tablet. Fitbit prepares for the release of new AI tools, using Google Gemini to offer personalized health tips.

“X” returns to one of its biggest markets. Brazil’s Supreme Court lifted a ban on the social media site after the platform paid a 5-million-dollar fine. The country banned “X” last month after it refused to remove several accounts deemed to be spreading misinformation, according to Brazil’s government.

Samsung is ending updates for its older Galaxy Fold 2 phone. The model is no longer eligible for security or software updates, marking the end of its support cycle. The phone came out in 2020, costing nearly 2 thousand dollars. Samsung’s tablet, the Tab A7, will also no longer receive updates.

Fitbit is launching a new AI-powered tool. The feature uses Google’s Gemini models to offer personalized health answers, such as how your activity affects your sleep. The opt-in program is now available to select premium users.
