A fifth Pixel 6a just caught fire, and it seems like Google’s update isn’t enough

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-29 09:31:57

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Another Google Pixel 6a has caught fire, according to a Reddit user. The user said their phone caught fire despite installing Google’s mandatory update to combat battery heating. This also comes after Australia’s consumer watchdog issued a notice about Pixel 6a battery overheating. We’ve reported on several Google Pixel 6a battery fires earlier this year. This prompted Google to release a mandatory update for some units earlier this month to combat the i

Considering Samsung's new Z Flip 7? Why I recommend waiting for next year's model

zdnet.com Jason Howell 2025-12-29 18:15:18

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET Having spent a few days with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, I can easily say that it's Samsung's most polished clamshell foldable to date. The expanded cover screen finally feels complete, DeX support is an incredible bonus on such a tiny footprint, and its battery life got a solid bump up. But while the Z Flip 7 closes the gap with rivals like the Moto Razr Ultra, it's worth looking ahead to what next year's Z Flip 8 might bring. Apple reportedly has plans to bring its flavor of fol

In June, a fuel delivery to a Johns Hopkins Hospital campus went terribly awry, spilling 2,000 gallons of diesel into Baltimore’s harbor. As the Maryland capital raced to contain the mess, responders discovered a problem: They didn’t have access to reliable power at the waterfront site. Usually in these kinds of situations, responders bring in fossil-fuel generators. But city officials wanted to do better than burning more fuel while cleaning up diesel. So they tracked down Scott Calhoun, chief

Chemical process produces critical battery metals with no waste

news.ycombinator.com Laurie Winkless 2025-12-29 08:35:33

Olivine is a rather unassuming rock. Olive brown to yellow green in color, this hard yet brittle mineral is thought to be the most abundant in Earth’s upper mantle. Chemically, olivine is magnesium iron silicate, though it contains other elements too. Economically, it’s close to worthless. Its limited industrial utility stretches to gemstones, metalworking, ceramics, and occasionally, as a gravel for road construction. At some mining sites, olivine is a waste product, stored in piles on the surf
