These Are Our Favorite Supplements for Joint Health in 2025

While "there's not a ton of evidence out there to firmly say one supplement is going to help you over another," Mysore said, glucosamine likely has the most evidence backing its use.

Samsung may build Qualcomm’s most advanced chip ever for the Galaxy S26 series

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung could reportedly fabricate one variant of the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for Qualcomm.

The Heritage Foundation — the group behind the infamous Project 2025, the conservative policy plan that outlined regressive social policies and the consolidation of executive power that's served as a playbook for the Trump administration — is suddenly really, really down with AI regulation.

One year later with the Galaxy Z Fold 6: I'm praying Samsung fixes these 3 shortcomings

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET It's not a hot take to say that Samsung hasn't changed the core design of its Galaxy Z Fold series since day one.

Bill Gates-backed Airloom begins building its first power plant

Tesla Stock in Tailspin After Error-Plagued Robotaxi Debut

Things are veering way off the road for Tesla. In the wake of the long-awaited Robotaxi rollout in Austin, Tesla stock saw an initial bump — but those gains weren't able to withstand the ample bad press the autonomous cabs have gotten in the few days they've trawled Texas streets. On Tuesday, the botched Robotaxi launch led Tesla stock to drop more than four percent and nearly $15 in a single day. That falloff came after videos emerged showing the driverless cabs — which also, embarrassingly,
