Why are so many brands shifting ad spend to CTV?
People spend more time streaming than they do with cable, social media or video games, and advertisers know it. In fact, according to Advertiser Perceptions and Premion's 2026 CTV/OTT Advertiser Survey, 70% of advertisers are raising CTV budgets in 2026, with much of that budget diverted from social advertising.
For marketers who want a presence in streaming, Roku is the obvious place to go, with scale that speaks for itself. With more than 100 million households representing 47% of all streaming time in the US, Roku easily has more reach than every competitor.
With Roku Ads Manager, you can reach viewers across more than 100 premium apps in a single buy. Combine your customer data with Roku's insights to reach only the households you want, then measure and optimize to your heart's content.

Printers Are Computers Connected to Your Network
Modern office printers contain processors, operating systems, storage, and network interfaces. Yet many organizations treat them as simple office equipment rather than connected devices that require security controls.
Sensitive Documents May Remain in Memory
Multifunction printers can temporarily store scanned documents, print jobs, and copies. Depending on the device and its configuration, sensitive information may remain accessible longer than employees expect.
Default Credentials Create Easy Opportunities
Some printers are deployed with unchanged administrator passwords or unnecessary management services enabled. Attackers who gain network access may exploit these weaknesses to change settings, access stored information, or disrupt operations.
Real-time dictation, built in-house, benchmarked against the big labs
Real-time speech recognition is harder than batch transcription. You don't get to wait for the end of the sentence. Wispr Flow built its own real-time model, Canto.
On a challenge set of messy audio (music, traffic, nearby voices, whispering, far-field speech), it had the lowest word error rate among the real-time models tested. It also tied for the lowest error rate on LibriSpeech. On 10 hours of real dictations from 2,300+ speakers, it beat every model tested, including Google, OpenAI, AssemblyAI and Deepgram.

Scan-to-Email Can Expose Confidential Information
Printers frequently connect to corporate email systems and shared folders. Misconfigured destinations, excessive permissions, or compromised printer accounts can create unexpected paths for sensitive data exposure.
Old Firmware Can Become a Long-Term Risk
Unlike laptops and smartphones, printers may receive little attention after installation. Unsupported firmware and missed security updates can leave known vulnerabilities unaddressed for years.
Treat Printers Like Every Other Network Endpoint
Change default credentials, update firmware, restrict management interfaces, segment printer networks, disable unused services, and securely erase stored data before disposal. Your security strategy should protect more than the devices people work on — it should also protect the devices they work through.
