    DuckDuckGo’s scam blocker now covers fake ecommerce sites and more.

    The tool, which is built into DuckDuckGo’s browser, displays a warning message when you click on potentially dangerous sites. In addition to blocking phishing sites, malware, and common online scams, DuckDuckGo has expanded the tool to protect against fake online stores, phony crypto exchanges, and those obnoxious sites that falsely claim your device has a virus.

    Microsoft could lay off thousands more workers next month.

    Sources tell Bloomberg that the job cuts could heavily impact workers in sales, while also spanning other areas of the company. My colleague Tom Warren reported earlier this month that there could soon be Xbox-related layoffs as well.

    Microsoft is expected to announce the move in July, just two months after it laid off over 6,000 workers across the company.

    Another update on Apple’s folding iPhone.

    Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo writes in a post on X that Apple supplier Foxconn could “kick off the project” later this year, targeting a 2026 release. Kuo says the display is “one of the few components” that Apple has finalized so far, but “plans remain subject to change.”

    A previous report from the analyst suggests the phone will fold like a book, with a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch outer screen.

    Intel reportedly plans to lay off up to 20 percent of factory workers.

    In a memo seen by The Oregonian, Intel manufacturing Vice President Naga Chandrasekara tells workers that the company could cut between 15 and 20 percent of workers in its Foundry division. “These are difficult actions but essential to meet our affordability challenges and current financial position of the company,” Chandrasekara writes, according to The Oregonian.

    This latest round of layoffs could happen next month, and follows last year’s job cuts affecting over 15,000 employees.
