As we saw earlier this year, Samsung Display knows folds. And apparently that innovation has led them to a major win -- producing crease-free displays for the iPhone's first foldable cellphone in 2026. Samsung Display (SDC), which is an entirely separate company from Samsung itself that produces screens for many other companies, will reportedly begin mass production of its flexible folding screens later this year in time for Apple's foldable iPhone launch in summer 2026, as reported by Korea Jo

Google’s generative video model Veo 3 has a subtitles problem

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-08-01 01:40:32

Getting rid of them isn’t straightforward—or cheap. Users have been forced to resort to regenerating clips (which costs them more money), using external subtitle-removing tools, or cropping their videos to get rid of the subtitles altogether. Josh Woodward, vice president of Google Labs and Gemini, posted on X on June 9 that Google had developed fixes to reduce the gibberish text. But over a month later, users are still logging issues with it in Google Labs’ Discord channel, demonstrating how d

As a millennial, I love this digital photo frame to display memories

zdnet.com Allison Murray 2025-08-01 01:08:08

Allison Murray/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways The Nixplay smart frame retails for $199 and comes in black, white, or wood. It's easy to set up, and you can invite family and friends to add photos to your frame (even if they don't own a Nixplay). The frame is expensive, especially given that horizontal photos show up pixelated and cut off. Remember digital photo frames? They were all the rage in the late 1990s/early 2000s -- when parents and grandparents alike had to own one. They seemed to dec

Cloudflare Starts Blocking Pirate Sites for UK Users

Cloudflare has become the first internet intermediary beyond local residential ISPs, to block access to pirate sites in the UK. Users attempting to access certain pirate sites are greeted with 'Error 451 - Unavailable for Legal Reasons'. In theory, ISP blocking should prevent UK users from even seeing this notice, but a combination of Cloudflare's blocking mechanism and choices made by some VPN users results in a piracy dead end.

In mid-2022, when BYD executive Lian Yubo was asked to compare Chinese manufacturing with Tesla’s technology, he remarked that Elon Musk was an example that all Chinese carmakers could learn from. “Tesla is a very successful company no matter what.

Auriga Space raises $6M to shoot rockets off an electromagnetic launch track

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2025-08-01 05:00:00

While U.S.-based companies are launching more payloads into orbit than ever before, they’re still limited by the inefficiency of conventional rockets. With rockets, most of the weight is in the propellant, not the payload, and a huge portion of it is burned simply battling Earth’s gravity and atmosphere. Auriga Space is aiming to change the launch game. Instead of a first-stage booster, the California-based startup is developing a launch track that will use electricity to power powerful magnets

At first I assumed it was my mistake -- maybe I'd accidentally left the ringer volume all the way down.
