I arranged my notepad, pens, and drink on my desk. It was 3:02pm, and I felt like I was going to faint. Fainting was an option, but I would still need to get this interview done. I’d written out my twenty questions (and yes, I always have 20), brushed my hair (shocker) and tossed on

Samsung Electronics today announced that its “Coral in Focus” initiative, powered by Ocean Mode,1 an advanced camera feature on the newer Galaxy mobile phones, has received multiple awards for its contributions to coral reef conservation, including Gold in the “Best Sustainability or Conservation Initiative” category at Engage for Good’s 2026 Halo Awards.

Andy 2026年4月26日週日 上午7:06 在 AI 工具推陳出新的時代，我們很容易陷入一種「買新不買舊」的迷思，下意識地認為冠上最新版號的 GPT-5.5 絕對是工作上的最佳選擇。但如果你是一位精打細算、不想看著額度與錢包像流水般消失的聰明用家，我們必須來談談客觀數據揭露的殘酷現實：最新的模型確實更聰明，但它也出乎意料地「貴」。 GPT-5.5 驚人的「高額入場費」 讓我們直接攤開這張「智慧 vs. 價格（Intelligence vs. Price）」的客觀分析圖。如果你是在意 API 計費成本的開發者，這張圖表絕對會讓你對「性價比」有全新的體悟。 圖表中最引人注目的，是整個 GPT-5.5 系列的定價分佈： 你會發現，無論是表現墊底的 GPT-5.5 (low)，還是站在智慧頂端的 GPT-5.5 (xhigh)，它們的價格線全部垂直緊貼在每百萬 Tokens 約 $11.30 USD 的高位。 這意味著，只要你呼叫了 GPT-5.5 系列，你就是支付著最高昂的溢價。 我已經付了訂閱費 為什麼還要管價格？ 這時很多 ChatGPT Plus 或 Pro 的訂戶可能會問：「我每個月已經付了固定月費，難道不是吃到飽任用嗎？這張圖表的『價格』跟我有什麼關係？」 這是一個非常常見的誤解。月費買到的其實是「入場券」，而不是「無限資源」。 圖表上的「價格（Price）」，反映的是模型背後龐大的算力與伺服器成本。對於系統來說： 越貴的模型，消耗配額的速度就越快： 因為 GPT-5.5 運行成本極高（$11.30 USD），為了控制伺服器負載，官方會對這類新模型設定極為嚴格的「動態使用上限」。 價格，其實就是你的「使用時間」： 當你用 GPT-5.5 處理大量任務時，你很快就會撞到那面令人沮喪的牆——「您已達到使用上限，請等待數小時後再試」。 換句話說，圖表上的「高價」，在訂閱制用戶的現實體驗中，會直接轉化為「高消耗率」與「更少的連續工作時間」。 性價比黑馬：GPT-5.3 Codex

M-A instituted a new phone pocket policy this year following the Phone-Free School Act, requiring students to store their mobile devices in phone pockets during class.

Bluetooth is a fantastic feature on mobile phones, but if you use it to listen to your favorite tunes regularly, you might notice it sometimes sounds dead, tinny, or just plain bad. The culprit might actually be the default codec your phone is using for Bluetooth. Fortunately, there are a few ways to improve it,

I’ve lost count of how many AI note-taking apps I’ve installed this year. Every week, there’s a new one that promises to record, transcribe, and summarize my meetings, and every week, the free tier either collapses after 30 minutes or locks the AI features behind a credit pool that’s used up in days. After a

Jeep’s electric transition is starting to look less like a straight line and more like a series of corrections. The Wagoneer S arrived as a major statement vehicle for the brand, but its first full stretch on the market has exposed how hard it still is to turn EV ambition into steady demand in the

On desktop operating systems, you can usually look up exactly which apps and services are currently running on your device. Utilities like htop or Task Manager let you monitor what processes are actually running on the machine, either in the foreground or the background. However, Android (by default) doesn’t have anything like this. This is

Fresh survey data from phone trade-in service SellCell (via MacRumors) suggests that iOS loyalty has hit a new high: 96.4% of iPhone owners are likely to stick with Apple handsets when they next upgrade, based on responses from over 5,000 people in the US.

With a slim and light build, plus a stylish glass-and-metal chassis, Samsung’s affordable new Galaxy A57 is undeniably a great-looking phone — and not just compared to other budget handsets, but even when it’s up against other flagships, including its Galaxy S26 siblings. Combined with some notable hardware and software upgrades over its excellent A56
