After 6 months, I’m still not over Samsung’s lazy Galaxy S25 launch

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-17 05:00:43

Back in January, when Samsung launched the three main phones in the Galaxy S25 series, I wasn’t shy with my criticism. I openly wondered why the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus even exist, and pointed out how the Galaxy S25 Ultra is such a nominal upgrade over the Galaxy S24 Ultra that it’s a wonder Samsung didn’t drop the price. Surprisingly, at the time, Samsung teased that a significant part of the Galaxy S25 family was yet to come: an ultra-thin, ultra-lightweight phone called the Galaxy S25

Zack Snyder Can’t Let ‘Rebel Moon’ Die

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-01-18 05:15:44

Remember Rebel Moon? Netflix’s two-part movie series created by Zack Snyder, released in late 2023 and early 2024, which then had two longer, bloodier versions released that same year? Snyder’s answer to Star Wars, in which he created his own sci-fi world from the ground up? Ring a bell? If not, that’s because they did well on the streamer but didn’t quite resonate culturally like most probably hoped. Nevertheless, it seems Snyder isn’t ready to give up on the franchise just yet.

The Former CEO of Uber Kind of Sounds Like He's Losing It When He's Talking About AI

futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-18 14:15:05

It sounds like the co-founder and former CEO of Uber has had a big gulp of the AI Kool-aid — and then some. On a recent episode of the All-In podcast, Travis Kalanick, who resigned from the ride-hailing company in disgrace in 2017, spoke rapturously about his experience using chatbots like ChatGPT and Grok. That's when he revealed his sincere conviction that he, a mere college dropout, was on the verge of achieving a breakthrough in physics just by probing the AI models. "I'll go down this thr

Cyberpunk 2077's latest update brings VRR to consoles and introduces an autodrive mode

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-18 20:19:33

There's another big update for Cyberpunk 2077 coming our way. Update 2.3 brings some notable new features to PC and consoles. CD Projekt Red (CDPR) is adding official in-game support for VRR on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. This should help with screen tearing when the frame rate drops and is of particular use when running the game in performance mode. There's also an official AutoDrive feature, which is something that has long-existed in the modding community. This is available in all cars and moto

How I lost my backpack with passports and laptop

GMC Hummer EV outsold the Tesla Cybertruck last quarter

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2026-01-19 00:19:29

Sales of Tesla’s Cybertruck have plummeted from their peak last year, to the point that the hulking (and expensive) GMC Hummer EV outsold the polarizing steel-clad curiosity in the second quarter. Tesla sold just 4,306 Cybertrucks in the second quarter, just shy of the 4,508 Hummers that GMC moved in the same period, according to new data from Cox Automotive. Both were beat by Ford’s F-150 Lightning, which once again became the best-selling electric truck in the U.S. in the first quarter, beat

Tidy up your Mac office space with a Thunderbolt dock hidden under your desk

Like many people these days, I work from home and use a 16-inch MacBook Pro with an external display. I have been a long-time user of the OWC Thunderbolt Dock which lets me connect my display and various peripherals to the hub’s I/O ports, with only a single cable plugged in to the laptop. This dock has simply sat atop the desk, until recently. I came across a further improvement to my setup which helps declutter even more.

After a Decade of Chaos, Google Is Finally Getting Its Act Together

For over a decade, Google has ruled the mobile world in market share but not in power. Android is the most widely used operating system on the planet, yet Apple still controls the conversation, the culture, and the profits. Google’s vast empire, stretching from Chrome to Android, Gemini to Pixel, and foldables to tablets, has never quite clicked together. It’s powerful but disconnected, popular but often forgettable.

Last week, White House officials walked back claims about the late billionaire sex criminal, arguing that there wasn't a "client list" full of celebrities, and that his cause of death in a New York City prison cell was the result of a suicide, not murder.
