Duolingo might be expanding into music soon. A job posting by the company shows it has a small team working on building an app for teaching music. The job ad is looking for an "expert in music education who combines both theoretical knowledge of relevant learning science research and hands-on teaching experience." 

Whoever gets the job will ensure the app is "well-grounded in learning science." They need to translate "research findings into concrete ideas" that can be used for "learning by doing" activities the company is known for. The one who takes the position will also need to take the lead on curriculum development, suggesting the app is in its early stages.

Samsung now has more than one OLED TV. The tech giant expands its Quantum Dot OLED to introduce the more affordable S90C. This gets a scaled-back version of Samsung's object-tracking sound, and it won't get the S95C's near-flush wall mounting or external connection box. It still offers the punchy QD-OLED image, AI-based HDR mapping, Dolby Atmos audio, and syncing with Samsung soundbars. The Samsung S90C starts at USD 1,899 (around CAD 2,595) for a 55-inch model and goes up to USD 3,599 (~CAD 4,918) for the 77-inch variant. Samsung plans to release a 65-inch set soon. 

Samsung also adds a 55-inch and 65-inch model for the more premium S95C. That's available at USD 2,499 (~CAD 3,415) and 3,299 (~CAD 4,508), respectively. It gets a slightly brighter 2,000-nit output and a 144Hz refresh rate for compatible PC games.
