Samsung’s Audio Eraser now lets you clean up audio in other apps

TL;DR One UI 8 now lets Galaxy owners access Audio Eraser outside of the Gallery app. The feature is accessible in Samsung Notes, Voice Recorder, and on recorded calls. Audio Eraser also works on any video played in the Samsung player, not just ones captured on your phone. The big day for Samsung’s foldables is here. While the spotlight is on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, plenty of other news was also revealed during Galaxy Unpacked. Something that may have slipped under the radar is an int

Z Fold 7? Samsung exec confirms that Galaxy Z Fold 8 is in the works

TL;DR A Samsung executive has confirmed that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is already in development. The executive was responding to a question about a possible Galaxy Z Fold 7 Special Edition phone. This news comes after the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition was released last year as an unofficial proof of concept for the Fold 7.

In a post to X, Ms. Yaccarino, 61, said, “When @elonmusk and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company. I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me.” She did not provide a reason for her departure. Ms. Yacc

A fast 3D collision detection algorithm

This article will assume some familiarity with narrow phase collision detection methods and associated geometric concepts such as the Minkowski sum. A few years ago I was watching Dirk’s great presentation, The Separating Axis Test between Convex Polyhedra (video, slides). Around the 18 minute mark (slide 29) he starts talking about overlaying Gauss maps of convex polyhedra to find the faces of their Minkowski difference. Figure 1: A gauss map for two convex hulls The upshot is that all faces

Tree Borrows

The Rust programming language is well known for its ownership-based type system, which offers strong guarantees like memory safety and data race freedom. However, Rust also provides unsafe escape hatches, for which safety is not guaranteed automatically and must instead be manually upheld by the programmer. This creates a tension. On the one hand, compilers would like to exploit the strong guarantees of the type system—particularly those pertaining to aliasing of pointers—in order to unlock powe

Prime Day Turns This HP USB-C Dock Into a Practically Free Grab, Now 58% Off and stock Is Moving Fast

You can get a lot done using just a laptop, but there is an upper limit when compared to a desktop PC. Laptop screens are much smaller than a standard desktop monitor. A 17-inch laptop is pretty large when stacked up against other laptop screens, but monitors tend to be almost twice that size or in some cases, even larger. Monitors be ultra-wide, display up to 4K, and showcase a larger field of view. And with monitors, you can add in more than one for even more workspace. Plus, you can get more

Anker’s 12-in-1 Dock and Monitor Stand Combo Gets a Prime Day Cut as Amazon Clears Out Stock

Prime Day is a go and Amazon right now is firing off on all cylinders. You can save a ton on a load of different products across every category. This is a great time to browse through some deals and find a cool thing you never thought you needed until you saw it. That for me is this Anker USB-C docking station. Now a docking station isn’t all that special or crazy, but what grabbed my eyes about Anker’s 675 is its shape. This docking station doubles as a monitor stand. Right now, it’s going for

Apple Didn’t Approve, but Amazon Clears Out AirPods Pro 2 at a Record Low for Prime Day

AirPods Pro 2 are in stores just a year but already they set the benchmark by which other wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation are judged. On the subject of sound quality, nothing else comes close to holding a candle right now. Normally these earbuds cost $249, but Amazon is offering them over 40% off during Prime Day, reducing the price to as low as $149. This deal is for everyone (and not just Prime members) and it is a rarity for an Apple device. Remember, Apple never really offer

Appeals court strikes down ‘click-to-cancel’ rule

is a senior policy reporter at The Verge, covering the intersection of Silicon Valley and Capitol Hill. She spent 5 years covering tech policy at CNBC, writing about antitrust, privacy, and content moderation reform. A federal appeals court just threw out a new government regulation that would have required subscription services to give consumers an easy way to cancel. The Federal Trade Commission’s click-to-cancel rule was set to take effect next week, and would have required everything from

Federal ‘click to cancel subscriptions’ rule struck down in court [U]

A “click to cancel” law was last month passed in California, and now the FTC has ratified a federal rule designed to achieve the same goal. The idea of both is to force companies to make it as easy to cancel an online or app subscription as it is to sign up in the first place. Update: Following a court challenge, the US Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has vacated the rule. See update at the end … Both laws were introduced in response to sketchy practices by companies designed to make it as dif

Orb Is the Internet Speed Test Your Wi-Fi Has Been Waiting For

Internet speed tests aren't just for people who obsess over their internet connection. When my friends or parents are experiencing an inevitable home internet slowdown, my first recommendation is always to start with a speed test. In fact, I’ve tested and used dozens of internet speed tests -- the market is pretty saturated with them. Ideally, the best internet speed test is one that diagnoses your bandwidth blues as simply as possible -- no ads, no extra features you can’t make sense of, and no

Critical CitrixBleed 2 vulnerability has been under active exploit for weeks

A critical vulnerability allowing hackers to bypass multifactor authentication in network management devices made by Citrix has been actively exploited for more than a month, researchers said. The finding is at odds with advisories from the vendor saying there is no evidence of in-the-wild exploitation. Tracked as CVE-2025-5777, the vulnerability shares similarities with CVE-2023-4966, a security flaw nicknamed CitrixBleed, which led to the compromise of 20,000 Citrix devices two years ago. The

BNY Mellon will have custody of Ripple's new stablecoin as institutional interest in crypto swells

Bank of New York Mellon will be the primary custodian for the Ripple's U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin reserves going forward, the two companies said Wednesday. The partnership should enhance regulatory compliance for Ripple, the issuer of ripple USD (RLUSD), and boost institutional credibility for the company as well as the fast growing stablecoin industry. BNY is the nation's oldest bank and primarily serves institutions and corporations. It also adds to the growing number of traditional insti

5 surprise products Samsung could unveil at Unpacked today - including smart glasses

Show HN: Dev atrophy test – Can you still code without AI?

Hey HN, I'm Per from Scrimba (YC S20), the code-learning platform. There's been a lot of talk lately about whether AI tools are causing skill atrophy amongst developers. We get a front-row seat to this, and we see more and more students struggle with basic concepts, and building apps on their own. This is almost always a consequence of relying too much on ChatGPT and vibe coding tools. So we built a small side project: https://devatrophy.com It's a test of your core web dev knowledge — no ha

Is the doc bot docs, or not?

July 8, 2025 Upgrading my Shopify email noti­fi­ca­tion templates this morning, I asked Shopify’s LLM-powered devel­oper doc­u­men­ta­tion bot this ques­tion: What’s the syntax, in Liquid, to detect whether an order in an email noti­fi­ca­tion con­tains items that will be ful­filled through Shopify Collective? I’d done a few tra­di­tional searches, but couldn’t find an answer, so I thought, okay, let’s try the doc bot! The reply came, quick and clean: {% if order.tags contains 'Shopify Coll

Adaptive Power in iOS 26 Could Mean Longer Stretches Between iPhone Charges

The upcoming iOS 26 includes several new features I'm looking forward to running on my iPhone, from the Liquid Glass interface to new ways to cut down on unwanted calls and messages. But one feature I can't wait to turn on will hopefully be something I can forget about. A new Adaptive Power setting promises to extend battery power by selectively applying energy savings in small ways that add up. It's currently available in the iOS 26 developer beta and is expected to ship in the fall. See also:

Wildfires are challenging air quality monitoring infrastructure

Ten years ago, Tracey Holloway, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, would have said that air pollution in the United States was a huge success story. “Our air had been getting cleaner and cleaner almost everywhere, for almost every pollutant,” she said. But in June 2023, as wildfire smoke from Canada spread, the air quality dropped to historically low levels in her home state of Wisconsin. Just last month, the region’s air quality dipped once more to unhealthy level

Activision pulls Call of Duty game after PC players are hacked

Activision has taken one of its Call of Duty games down from the Microsoft Store and PC version of Game Pass, reportedly because multiple PC players had their computers compromised by hackers after playing the title. The publisher announced that 2017 shooter Call of Duty: WWII was “brought offline” on Friday, “while we investigate reports of an issue.” The outage only affects PC versions of the game from Microsoft’s storefront and the Game Pass subscription service, and the game remains playabl
