US bans WhatsApp from House of Representatives staff devices

The U.S. government has banned WhatsApp from devices used by U.S. House of Representatives staff, saying the app poses potential security risks, Reuters reported, citing a memo sent to House staff. “The Office of Cybersecurity has deemed WhatsApp a high risk to users due to the lack of transparency in how it protects user data, absence of stored data encryption, and potential security risks involved with its use,” Reuters reported the memo as saying.

I Solved a 7-Day Calculation Problem in a Weekend

How I Solved a 7-Day Calculation Problem in a weekend Jithin Sankar Follow 3 min read · 3 days ago 3 days ago -- Listen Share In a previous project, my team was building a SaaS application. The scenario was this: we had a slider for setting a price, from $0.00 to $10.00. When you moved the slider, the app would show you the projected sales for that price. The slider input was combined with two other attributes, Region and SKU name. The problem was performance. Each time the slider moved, it wo

Samsung Teases ‘Ultra’ Foldable for Unpacked Event Next Month

Is it already time for another Samsung Unpacked event? You bet your ass it is. Samsung has announced it’ll be hosting an event next month on July 9 for what’ll presumably be its latest Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold foldable Android phones. Unlike previous years, when Samsung announced new foldable phones in Paris and Seoul, this go-around will be in Brooklyn, New York (my hometown!) starting at 10:00 a.m. ET / 7 a.m. PT. Gizmodo will be at the event live, but there will also be a live stream on Sams

Samsung confirms Unpacked for early July

Samsung’s summer Unpacked is officially on, starting at 10AM ET on Wednesday, July 9th. The invitation features a jazzy little bop and the words “Ultra Unfolds,” so I think it’s safe to assume we’re getting that foldable Ultra phone the company previously hinted at. The event is set to take place in Brooklyn, but you can watch

Samsung's Cheaper Galaxy Flip 7 FE Foldable Phone Shows Up in New Leak

Nobel Prize Winner Warns About Astronomers Using AI to Make Discoveries

A team of astronomers say they've gleaned the mysterious traits of our galaxy's black hole by probing it with an AI model. But a pretty big name on the field is throwing a little bit of cold water on their work. Just a little bit. Reinhard Genzel, a Nobel laureate and an astrophysicist at the Max Planck Institute, expressed some skepticism regarding the team's use of AI, and the quality of the data they fed into the model. "I'm very sympathetic and interested in what they're doing," Genzel tol

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold could be one of the first foldables with an IP68 rating

TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is said to sport a smaller hinge. The outer display may be bigger than last year, despite the device being roughly the same size. Google’s foldable could have an IP68 rating. As other brands race to make the thinnest foldable on the market, there haven’t really been any hints that Google is chasing after the same goal. Even if Google may not be interested in claiming the title of world’s thinnest, it seems we can still expect the Pixel 10 Pro Fold to be a bit slimm

macOS Tahoe 26 beta 2 changes Finder icon

Apple has restored decades of precedent and restored color balance to the Finder icon in macOS Tahoe 26 beta 2. A controversial change in beta 1 was met with a healthy dose of criticism. The issue? Finder has a dark side and a light side. The dark side is located on the left half of the face while the light side makes up the right half. Finder in macOS Tahoe 26 reversed this arrangement (while using an outline effect around the right side). The new version restores balance to the universe (whi

This 5-in-1 USB-C Hub Is Almost Free, Amazon Didn’t Wait for Prime Day to Crush Its Price
