Galaxy Buds 3 FE Review: Samsung’s ‘Fan Edition” Wireless Earbuds Are Just Enough

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-02 14:00:58

If you’re a Samsung fan and you see “FE” branding, you probably think a few things. The first thing that comes to mind is probably, “I’m saving some money.” For those not fluent in Samsung lingo, FE, which is actually short for “Fan Edition,” is the equivalent of SE in Apple-speak, meaning it’s a more budget-friendly alternative to the flagship-level gadgets. But it’s not just savings you want when you’re seeking something FE-branded—you want quality, too. Maybe you’re not expecting every bell a

Albania has appointed the world's first-ever AI government official in hopes of rooting out some of the Balkan state's long-running corruption. As Politico Europe reports, the new AI minister — which should not be confused with a minister of AI, which a few countries already have, including Canada and the United Arab Emirates — has been dubbed "Diella," meaning "sunshine" in Albanian.

Visual programming is stuck on the form

Underlying great creations that you love—be it music, art, or technology—its form (what it looks like) is driven by an underpinning internal logic (how it works). I noticed this pattern while watching a talk on cellular automaton and realized it's "form follows function" paraphrased from a slightly different angle. Inventing a form is a hard task, so you must approach it obliquely—by first illuminating the underlying function. This made me realize something crucial about visual programming: it’
