After 6 months, I’m still not over Samsung’s lazy Galaxy S25 launch

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-16 11:00:43

Back in January, when Samsung launched the three main phones in the Galaxy S25 series, I wasn’t shy with my criticism. I openly wondered why the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus even exist, and pointed out how the Galaxy S25 Ultra is such a nominal upgrade over the Galaxy S24 Ultra that it’s a wonder Samsung didn’t drop the price. Surprisingly, at the time, Samsung teased that a significant part of the Galaxy S25 family was yet to come: an ultra-thin, ultra-lightweight phone called the Galaxy S25

A Rust shaped hole By a process of elimination, I've arrived at a conclusion that I should write Rust, or at least give it a rigorous try. Let us say I want to write a "native" program. This train of thought started with wanting to write a program, an xfdesktop replacement, that can serve as my desktop background, slowly meandering though a pastel game of life, or floating through a Mandelbrot set.

Signs of autism could be encoded in the way you walk

news.ycombinator.com The Conversation 2025-07-16 18:43:35

Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how people's brains develop and function, impacting behaviour, communication and socialising. It can also involve differences in the way you move and walk – known as your gait. Having an "odd gait" is now listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders as a supporting diagnostic feature of autism. What does this look like? The most noticeable gait differences among autistic people are: toe-walking, walking on the balls

Trump Sues to Fire Big Bird’s Boss

Back in April, Donald Trump fired three Democratic members of the board at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), a move similar to his efforts to oust Democrats from the Federal Trade Commission and the Kennedy Center, among others. The board members—Laura Ross, Thomas Rothman, and Diane Kaplan— simply never left. Now, the Trump administration is suing to remove them from their seats.

Holding the Galaxy Z Fold 7, I have to remind myself this is not just any ordinary phone. The wildly thin design and wider cover screen makes this generation of Samsung's foldable feel incredibly normal, at least when it's closed. When it's unfolded, it's a whole different story. I got to check out the Z Fold 7 at Samsung's Unpacked event in New York last week, along with the Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE.

Top Execs Fleeing Tesla as Dark Clouds Grow
