Not every sale happens at the register before AT&T business Wireless checking out customers on our mobile POS systems took too long. Basically a staring contest where everyone loses. It's crazy what people will say during an awkward silence. Now transactions are done before the silence takes hold. That means I can focus on the task at hand and make an extra sale or two. Sometimes I do miss the bonding time. Sometimes.

These are the daily tech headlines for Friday, April 10, 2026. I' Rob Dunwood Google has extended end to end encryption to the Gmail apps on Android and iOS for enterprise users with enterprise plus licenses and specific add ons provided their administrators enable the feature. This functionality, utilizing client side encryption with keys stored outside Google allows users to compose and read encrypted emails natively within Gmail, enhancing privacy and aiding compliance with regulations like HIPAA by encrypting messages and attachments before they leave the device. Recipients using other services can access these encrypted messages via a Web browser. Browser YouTube Premium is increasing its subscription prices for the second time since 2023, with the changes effective for existing subscribers in June 2026. The individual plan is rising $2 to $16 per month and the family plan is increasing $4 to $27 per month. The Lite and Music Premium plans are also going up by $1 to $9 and $12 per month, respectively. Current subscribers are being notified via email about these adjustments, which follow similar price hikes from other streaming services. The Electronic Frontier foundation is leaving x after nearly 20 years because the platform no longer aligns with its goals to effect change for digital rights. The EFF noted a significant reduction in the platform's reach, with impressions dropping to less than 3% of previous levels, and criticized Elon Musk's dismantling of the human rights team. The organization is shifting to focus on more impactful channels like Blue Sky, Mastodon and other mainstream social media sites where the audience needing their help is still present. AI lab Anthropic is exploring the possibility of designing its own custom chips to address the shortage of AI chips, a strategy also pursued by companies like Meta and OpenAI. This consideration comes amid surging demand for its Claude AI model, which has accelerated Anthropic's run rate revenue past $30 billion. Currently, Anthropic uses a mix of chips including TPUs from Google and chips from Amazon, and has a recent supply deal with Google and Broadcom. The UK has intensified its online safety measures by warning senior tech executives that they could face personal liability and imprisonment for failing to properly remove non consensual intimate images from their platforms. This new amendment to the crime and policing bill escalates previous penalties of fines of up to 10% of global revenue and aims to curb abuse, particularly against women and girls, and address the threat of AI generated explicit images. Snap's AR Glasses subsidiary Spex is showing signs of revitalization through a new multi year partnership with Qualcomm. Specs, which recently spun off and saw the departure of its svp, will use Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR platforms to develop its long in development wearable focusing on on device AI, cutting edge graphics and advanced multi user digital experiences ahead of a planned release later this year. The Massachusetts supreme judicial court has ruled that Meta Platforms must face a lawsuit alleging it deliberately designed its platforms to be addictive to young users. The decision is significant because it will test whether section 230 of the Communications Decency act, which typically shields Internet companies, applies to claims focused on a platform's design features like infinite scroll and push notifications, as well as alleged false safety statements rather than third party content. Meta's attempt to dismiss the case failed following other recent unfavorable rulings against the company. Microsoft is reducing prominent copilot branding in Windows apps, starting with Notepad, where the Copilot menu and icon are being replaced by a Writing tools option with a pen icon. This change, which also removes AI mentions from settings, is a response to criticism about the AI Assistant's Force integration. Windows End Devices, evp, pav and Daviluri said the company aims to be more intentional and remove unnecessary copilot entry points from apps like Notepad, Snipping Tool, Photos and widgets with Snipping tool already seeing changes and finally, Instagram now allows users to edit their own comments on posts within a 15 minute window, similar to the existing feature for editing direct messages. Users can access the edit option below their comment to make multiple changes within the time limit. This update is one of several recent changes by Meta, including the removal of end to end encryption from Instagram DMs and testing a subscription service called Instagram for stories features.
